2015 and It's Now or Never!

[Emmaline]

Oh dear Emmaline Im so sorry your trip out did not go well. As you slept so long afterwards maybe you are sickening for something. Im glad you enjoyed the custards.

Morning Em,

I hope you're feeling better today.

Yoo Hoo missy, where are you ?

Hope you are feeling better today.

Oh Emm,hope you are feeling better today.

Thanks for the well wishes ladies... have had a very bad headache today but it's very slowly getting better. I do tend to be the sort that is either really up or down in the dumps.

Sunday 2nd March 2014

Managed to get a few things done today altho' not what I originally wanted to do.
Made a stew from the chicken from yesterday and also a mini apple crumble from a Bramley apple I bought awhile back intending to have it as a baked apple with raisins etc but the cals & carbs worked out too high.


Will visit your diaries tomorrow ladies as it's still a bit difficult to look at this screen.

Hope you all had a good day.. :wavey:

Hello Emmaline. sorry you had such a bad headache. I hoe you are feeling tons better tomorrow.

 

[Pommette]

Evening Emm - hope your head is feeling better.

After some long hard thinking I have decided that I am cutting right back on Minis.
I am spending far too much time on here and Mr Poms is getting annoyed with me for ignoring him all the time.
I may be back at some point in the future - who knows? But I'm saying adios for now.
Good luck chica and hope all goes well.

Woken early this morning with a phone call from the chiropodist who should be calling today at 3.30pm to ask if she could come straight away and that after I had already explained when I made the arrangement that I don't do mornings! Then phoned again about 1pm to ask again..said she could come about 2.45 at the earliest. I had my day planned and I wanted to have at least an hour to soak my feet in order to soften my toe nails as I find it quite a painful experience otherwise. Was going to make some comment to her but decided that as I only use her on the very odd occasion it wasn't worth bothering about.

WI today and I'm still just about the same so very pleased about that. I would love to lose more but at least not putting anything on is okay at the mo'.

Got all my quiche and the chicken stew portioned nicely and put in the freezer. Did save some stew for this evening but then gorged on digestive biscuits and cheese.. something has annoyed and upset me so that's the reason for the indulgence!! Say no more!

Need to go out somewhere tomorrow and want to think of something different to do.. that is if my back behaves.. ..Think I may well venture into the city and have a slow wander around...on the other hand the weather is supposed to be getting much warmer later in the week.. I'll wait and see how I feel tomorrow.

Just sold something else on Amazon but I notice that they (Amazon) have increased their charges with the result I shall hardly make anything from this.. .. I shall have to go thro' all my items and increase the prices.

Glad your feeling better. The temperature is supposed to just reach diuble figures Thursday and Friday.

That is always a victory!

but then gorged on digestive biscuits and cheese..

Ah - oh well, done now! Would you consider not having them in the house for when these moments strike? There are a few things that I avoid buying now for similar reasons!

I do keep them because I have to take tablets regularly and they are just a fill in.
If I didn't have them I'd find something else to gorge.

Hello Emmaline. Ive done all I can for a few days so I am in Scarborough. Im going swimming tomorrow which will be brilliant. I will go back at the weekend and do more.

Morning Em,

I can understand why you were annoyed at the Chiropodist -- you're the customer, but she wants it at her convenience.

The door guy was supposed to come in the morning. He called about 11:00 a.m. To say that he needed to come late afternoon. I told him -- I was annoyed that he waited until he had wasted my morning to call - and that I to leave here at 4 p.m. Sharp, so if he couldn't get here and get it done by then don't bother. His company is selling the man that owns this house a new door and side panels -- over £5,000! He was here at 3:00 and gone by 4:15. Not too far off the mark (I need leave here with DD at 5:00 for swimming -- but I suspected if I said 5:00 he'd run over).

The warmer weather is good news! I noticed my friend's daffodils were blooming. Is there a nice park with flowers you can visit?

Are you going to give the Aqua Fit a try? It's a lot easier on your joints than land-based fitness.

I hope whatever upset you yesterday has passed and you're much better today.

I've never tried cheese and digestives -- sounds yummy.

Hi Nelli... such a lovely suuny day..who wouldn't feel good on a day like this!?! YAY!

Typical isn't it? I presume you were able to make the swimming even if it does mean telling some little porkies hey?

Definitely will be trying the aquafit but need to have a wee chat with the person in charge first as I don't want to be joining something that will be far too vigorous for me and then get in other peoples way. I was sent to the one at the N&N which is for disabled people and the water was lovely and warm.

Cavegirl.. I got thinking last night after reading digestives and cheese what crazy things I use to eat many many years ago.

Digestives with butter on,nubbies(small fairy cake) slice the top off and put tom ketchup inside,pea sandwiches.

I'm sure I will remember more later.

One thing that I have even today and I love is fish and chips with salad cream... mmmm!

 

[Nelliduff]

I used to like salad cream with fish too Emm - in the days when I used to eat fish that is. At school we used to buy a dry roll and cram it full of crisps - I still love crispy bread and crisps.

Potato chips (crisps) on a tuna fish sand which.

Seems like we all love weird and wonderful concoctions!
I remember that at school there was something they nicknamed "cheese mess" which was like a very runny lumpy cheese sauce served up with vegetables. Most of them hated it but I found it delish.

Had quite a surprise as when I weighed this morning I had lost 2.4lbs!

Lovely sunny and warm day but decided against going into the city but took my usual drive to Tesco at the other side of the city which I thoroughly enjoyed after stopping off at the post office to send my Amazon sale item I do tend to love getting into a bit of a challenge with other motorists and see if I can get ahead of them... silly I know but then "whatever!"..as they say!

Bought all sorts of chocolate and biscuits.. a real indulgent spree in fact.. plus a pack of Magnum icecreams... but despite that I have kept to a reasonable count today.
Totals: Cals 1429 Carbs 143 and that includes a yogurt for supper.

 

[Emmaline]

Hi Emm,

Hope you haven't eaten all those goodies today and you have kept some for tomorrow.

No I haven't Mary. Fact is I find I have much more restrained when there are several things to choose from. If there's only two or three the idea would be to eat them up out of the way.

Couple of the usual coming up... I had noticed that my left shoulder had become very painful and when I went to bed about 11.30 it ached so much and I just couldn't get any relief whatsoever so I thought that I may as well get up again. Came onto the computer and enjoyed myself by searching crossword clues as I had a little booklet full of them.... The next thing it's 4.30am.. then 6.30.. and so on until it really wasn't worth going to bed at all especially as my home help was to come today. I didn't feel at all tired so pressed on regardless and got a few things done before she arrived. Don't like things being too untidy when she comes... silly that I know!

All went very well and had a lovely chat with her, as we do... and now I wont be seeing her for three weeks as she's off on hols to America and then a cruise! As she left I had a long snooze which was very refreshing.. but my pacemaker site keeps being quite painful and I don't have to go for a check up until the 25th so may well give them a ring to ask about it.

Very pleased that a couple who I contacted re the gardening, phoned me and have arranged to call to have a look tomorrow afternoon... here's hoping she turns up! I did think her email comments were rather curt as she made the point that this garden doesn't belong to me. True enough but the council have never made any complaints about this being utilised by myself or the lady who used to do it before me. Turns out she was not at all bothered about it... just shows how we can misinterpret what is being written.

Had a portion of my delish chicken stew with dumplings this evening.. very yummy!

Morning Emm - hope you got the soreness sorted and managed to speak to the hospital

 

[MinnieMel]

Morning Em,

I hope you get some answers about your soreness (normal healing or not).

I think gentle aqua fit might help your shoulder, but maybe you can self-refer to physical therapy.

I'm surpassed they do not have "supply" home help.

I'll bet the gardener just wanted you to know that you'd be paying to tend what wasn't your responsibility. However, I understand why you'd do that. Where I lived in England before used to clean the little play area next to my house.
