20 somethings

Well my diets gone out the window until after xmas now lol im at ohs mums until tomorrow and she makes the yummiest spring rolls I cant resist and she wants us all to go for a meal tonight - indian curry :/ lol so I give up for a few days haha after xmas I will have all my equipment to make yummy sw friendly food and will get on it properly to lose these pounds (except my birthday lol)
 
Omg biscuits just out of the oven is the stuff dreams are made of. I am consumed with jealousy lol

You'll be back on track in no time ch2b plus you'll find sw is ingrained in your brain so you'll not be as bad as you think :)

I'm waiting for mum to get home so I can cook dinner...can't go in to the kitchen by myself cause that effing mouse is on the loose and I'm a wimp!
 
Oh have fun Christie. It is like brain washing isn't it jenna?! Lol, we have a cupboard, not in the kitchen, that we stored potatoes and onions in that I called the rat cupboard... Then we really did get a rat in there. We killed it and it was effing HUGE. Grim. Nothing there now. What are you making for tea?

Biscuits are decorated now too. Helped mum hammer in some twigs (dont ask) I basically lived in the kitchen today. still ave to make the salsa and mince pies! Woe. It all needs doing before tomorrow though
 
I had pasta bake -hea2 of cheese, pasta, passata, chilli, peppers, mushroom and onion. It's so yum and so filling. A biccy and a glass of wine would go down nicely though but I'm not giving in until Christmas Day! If I fancy a snack tonight ill have pineapple.

Oh holy $hit if it was a rat I would actually die, I'm scared of animals in general. I hate mice but rats are my absolute biggest fear!

You sound so domesticated, I am officially useless...I tell myself that my mums so good at it anything I do would be inferior so it's best left to the pros hehe! Hope you get everything ready :)
 
I learnt to cook the way Nate is now. Just being with mum, watching and learning, fetching and carrying. I just do the donkey work for big things, like Xmas, so I will be preparing all the veg and stuff, I won't be in charge of timings or the turkey or anything on the big day I don't think. Last year i was in charge of keeping mum and I drunk enough to tolerate her cousin. Hahaha. Snowballs!

A side effect of living in the country. The bloody robin got in again today pooping on stuff... We get fox, deer, badgers, owls, buzzards and bats and things in the garden too. I only saw the rat when it was dead. I had argued with mum that it was a rat, she insisted it was a mouse. She wouldn't come see it dead though. Lol. It was massive. At our old place a bird flew into a window and died, we chucked it in the bin, on bin day there were maggots all over the bin. Eww. I had to sort it out because everyone else was too grossed out. Tip for the ladies, don't let your fella see you do that, he will end it soon after. Haha, pussy.

Just got soap in nate's eye. After washing it clear I am letting him sit on my lap and watch in the night garden so I'm on here! I felt so guilty, it was really painful. He is happy now though so I shall chuck him back in the tub.

Your dinner sounds good. I'm too lazy for pasta bakes.
 
Aww poor wee Nate! :(


Ugh the birds flying in to the window thing is soooo annoying, we're out country too and it scares the $hit out of me every time you hear the bang of the bird hitting it!

I'm currently waiting on my aunt to arrive for a catch up then my stepdad is finally going to put up my shelves after waiting all day and then I'm possibly going to meet a friend to exchange gifts but it depends on what time my aunt leaves.
 
Oh, sounds like nice plans. Thankfully mum's not bothered in having the pear and kiwi Xmas chutney (sounds gross, it is lovely) and it takes ages to make so i'm not bothering to do it now. I might do it on boxing day. I've just not left the kitchen all ruddy day, the biryani takes ages. Chilling out now :) got a yogurt, banana and 2 hifi light bars (not had a heb today). parents are eating nuts and crackers so I feel quite good now, not adding on extra evening snacking.
 
Hi ladies out with my friends from home and it's lovely :) all my friends are home from their various journey to other countries and its so nice to be together :) diet about the window bit it's lovely :) ex bf is in the pub and ignoring the fact I'm here but we're all good ha because my friends have said I look great a they haven't seen me since losing weight so it the perfect time for him to see me mwahahah :)
 
Fab Ciara! I bet you loved showing off your new bod, and seeing old friends :)

I've been needle-felting a gingerbread man this evening. Last year I knitted Nate's stocking. And I wanted to add a new trinket or decoration to it each year and seen as though this year we made gingerbread together I thought that'd be nice, and I found a whole box of Christmas cookie cutter shapes! But my needle broke :( will have to hunt out a new one tomorrow now. Then I will embroider the year onto the back of the decoration :) I am crap at embroidery - I'm too messy and impatient. but 2012 shouldn't be too awful. Just hope I can find mum's old stabber tomorrow. She has a stabber (needle) but has never done needle felting. I've done a few things, including a tiny teddy :)
 
Just had my brekkie because mum woke me up as she's leavin to go and get the turkey-Christmas is insane!!!!!

I love Christmas Eve..I always go out for lunch with the same friends (we've spent Christmas and New Years together since we were 8 or 9) then I've to get an eyebrow wax after lunch, my cousin is then coming up for a Christmas DVD and finally I get to give my gran and grandad their pressie....yay, I've been waiting ages to do it!!!
 
Apologies for the long slightly tipsy post with no full stop haha. It was such a lovely night :) bit rough this morning but my happiness for Christmas will get me through ha. I've found lately that positive thinking really gets me through a hangover, so Christmas happiness will surely work even better. :D

Fran that sounds lovely. I'm not 100% sure what needle felting is but if it is what I think it is then a work colleague of mine makes beautiful things doing it, fab stuff, she could actually sell it.

Aw Jenna sounds like a lovely day ahead of you! I love Christmas time. Hoping my granny gets to come home today, not really sure what the story is yet, but hopefully we'll know when the morning rounds are done.
 
morning everyone, feel like death! went out for a drink at 6pm and rolled in at gone midnight, had a feast of cheese and passed out on the sofa. im such a classy bird! :)
braved going outside to go to the chemist for some resolve (magic stuff!) but they no longer sell it as its addictive....rubbish!

the stocking sounds so lovely fran, such a gorgeous idea adding a bit each year, what a lovely keepsake that will be and the memories over the years will be so special.

jenna im excited for you giving your grandparents the present! sure they will love it, its such a nice idea.

im craving the most naughty stuff, i think after cheesegate last night im going to declare myself as officially off plan and just pick a restaurant for lunch when im in town. got a few stocking fillers for mike to get, and some boring non christmas stuff but has to be done as im out of shampoo and going out tonight (the absolute last thing i feel like doing right now!!) so cant go looking like a grease ball!

ciara sounds like you had a lovely night! so nice to catch up with old friends x

im off to die..
 
Aw Scarlett hope you're feeling a bit better! Cheesegate lol, I'm a sucker for cheese its my downfall! Well that and most other types of food.

Feeling slightly better now, but so tired!

Jenna I think I missed what your grandpaents present is, ill scroll back and check it out :)
 
Well any word on your granny ciara? You'll be fine once you've had your first drink Scarlett haha hair of the dog and all that! I'm currently trying to resist a bottle of wine...want to be good til Boxing Day but my god I'd love a glass.

Ciara, I made my gran and granda a hamper (pinched the idea from on here...possibly from Scarlett) it had my Nan's fave sweets, socks , a scarf, vodka, tea bags and shortbread but then the main thing in it was this

A pillow with writing in the shape of a heart, in the heart it says granny, granda, love and then includes the 13 grandchildren and great grandchildren a names. I really hope they like it!
 
Aw Jenna they couldn't let her out today unfortunately so shes in there tonight. Hoping she'll be home tomorrow.

Thats such a lovely present :) And the cushion is so lovely :)
 
Hope you've all recovered ;)

Jenna I bet they love it! So thoughtful and sweet.

I've ended up wrapping up stuff from my brother for everyone except me and Nate, and a few presents from mum and dad for my nieces. So much for doing all my wrapping early! I don't think my brother's moved from the sofa, or playing on his phone all day. I got a sentence from him. :/

Had our fish pie and sticky toffee pudding... mmm. it is xmas eve :D I'm completely relaxed haha. although I've not had any other syns today, no snacks or anything either and I've been cleaning, wrapping and off for a walk, so a pretty good day I think

I hope your nan is allowed out tomorrow Ciara. Fingers crossed.

Part of me is excited for tomorrow but part of me is dreading it because then it's over :(
 
I've gone off plan completely this evenin haha, lookin forward to the lovely dinner tomorrow but in a way lookin forward to gettin back on plan I 27th ha

Yeah really hoping she can get out tomorrow but we'll see.

Can't believe it's Xmas eve! Went to mass this evening and they gave us some sweets, really nice! Merry Christmas ladies :) Fran I hope Nate has a lovely day tomorrow :)
