Another newbie diet diary

What a time I have had! Normally, if I get a virus attack on this laptop, a pop up tells me and my antivirus deals with it. I run a quick scan every day, and a full one once a week. Well last evening I ran a full scan and at the end this message came up 'Critical! Following virus detected... Trojan: Win32-Anomaly gen! A' all in red which always puts the wind up doesn't it? So I clicked the button to put it in quarantine. It got so far, stopped and couldn't quarantine it. I went into windows, uploaded a patch, upgraded my antivirus, ran it again, same thing. My friend's son is home on holiday he is a computer wizard, works for some computing firm. Tasi was sitting on the mat with milk first thing this morning. Within an hour, he had found the virus, got rid of it, and fitted me with a gizzmo that works better than my antivirus. He tried to explain Trojans and how they hid deep in the computer but he lost me around the 'Now this is really very simple' bit.
 
No Rose, Himself and I are renowned for having friends in low places.
Lazy day for me, the other half of the roast chicken we had a few weeks ago, for lunch so I'll do the ironing this morning because there's not much cooking. The dog had a long walk yesterday and now she's 7 is getting very lazy, so will just have a short one today. She likes meeting people and gets very down if she doesn't. So we'll just wiz her around the block.
My knitting is coming on, I've finished the back which is always the worst.
 
hello Tasi..ooh ironing..can i send mine, a few long distance lorryloads should do it!!!

Have a good sunday, good news on the knitting, it will be done before you realise it, well done you!
 
I completely forgot. My neighbour across the road and up a bit, has a 'tea rooms' in town. She gets, not just American visitors as customers but lots of Brits, including locals too. Afternoon tea is back in fashion.
Before Christmas I promised to go to a trade event with her: The taste of Vienna. It is tomorrow and my monthly weigh-in is on Sunday. Just think of all that chocolate, cream and pastry, just sitting there expecting to be tasted:eek: I shall try to be strong, but I'm not promising anything, however I am thinking about the weighing scales and how good I have been all month so will now set up my next 'stone off' tracker ticker for Sunday to help keep me on the straight and narrow
 
Hi Tasi,

Saw you on Rose's thread so thought I would read yours too - I love your positive and cheerful attitude to weight loss.

I am also a 'behind closed curtains' exerciser, I would terrify the neighbours if they saw me jumping around the living room - even my son beats a hasty retreat to his bedroom if he sees the DVD going in and he had the cheek to laugh at my snazzy £3 sainsburys exercising leggings - I would definitely not be seen in public wearing them!

It's so lovely that you and your husband are sharing your weight loss and exercise together, I'm going it alone. Although my hubby is supportive he's not particularly interested in joining me but I would love to see him zumba-ing round the house!

Will pop in again to see how you're getting on and to pick up some positive weight loss vibes.

Claire
 
{hugs} Tasi....the day will come when you are able to overcome those difficult tasks, but only in your own time, each day will become a tiny bit more bearable for you, there is no time limit on grief and neither should there be! Keep your chin up hun, thinking of you :)

so, what's on today's agenda?
 
HEY CLAIRE! Have you got your diary up and running yet?

Thanks so much Rose. I think we were wise staying in this house to 'sweat it out' but now is the time to move on and take our memories with us.

Today's agenda... WoW, really exciting... Cleaning the sittingroom (we call it the front room) I'm ashamed to say that I found a bit of holly behind the sofa so I mean clean... every corner. Tomorrow we are taking a load of rubbish to the tip and then, weather permitting, on Saturday we will rake all the gravel up outside the back door, wash it down and re lay it. We do it once a year. Its not as big a job as you would think, but when you have a big dog, its a good idea to 'turn the gravel' now and again just in case there were times she didn't make it into the garden to piddle.
 
Just a quick hello. By gum! The frost hasn't lifted all day here, and brass monkeys are searching the gutters. It must have been cold last night, we left our heating on and we are 2 of those people who don't like a hot bedroom.
We went to see my mum this morning, she was having a bad day. As we walked in, the manager said : 'Brace yourselves, she's none to happy' Mum was claiming that her milk was poisoned and that her father needed help. Mum is 92. She knew me, but not that I was her daughter and she thought my husband was someone called kevin, and she ordered him out! I didn't stay too long as I seemed to be unsettling her... Tomorrow is another day
I made some chicken and vegetable soup for lunch, it was more warming that our usual lunch.
Off to the tip now
 
Well, that's half a stone off this month. It's not as wonderful as it sounds because 5 of those pounds were the Christmas gain, but I'm back on track and I'm well pleased.
My goal for the next month is 6lbs. I would be delighted to get 7lbs off, will settle for 5 and be a bit disappointed with less. Have to say though, so long as the scales go down, I will be happy

We went to B&M yesterday morning to get a new blind for the landing window ( white, scolloped £9.99 as opposed to £17.99 at Dunelm) we were only in there half an hour and when we came out everywhere was white, and snowing hard. And so it went on for the rest of the day. At least it is a tad warmer now, and we are much luckier than most of the country.
Keep safe and warm everyone and have a good day
 
well done Tasi...its coming off..to stay off! woohooo :) You're doing it!

great price on blind, i need one for kitchen, don't have that store here though!

Keep warm Tasi..is scotland the only place WITHOUT snow?????..makes a change! ;) Stay indoors and keep safe and snuggle up with hubby :)
 
Well done on your months loss Tasi!

We bought blinds for my father in law - we got some made for him for the kitchen, £78 for two and then stumbled across the almost exact same blind in B&M for £14.99! We bought him one of those and hung it in the downstairs loo so he has a matching one at the fraction of the price.

No snow here on the Wirral, was quite cold yesterday but it managed to stay above freezing so that was a bonus. Hope the snow has cleared for you today and that you're warm and toasty indoors.
