Hi Boo - sounds like this week is going well apart from you being poorly 
I hope you are feeling better once off the meds - I hate antibiotics they make me feel rubbish too. The lemon and chili chicken sounds gorgeous! would love the recipe if you don't mind?
Have a nice relaxing Sunday x

Day 89 - Sunday 14 August 2011
I woke up really early this morning for no particular reason other than just habit I guess and decided that instead of waiting till after lunch to visit Mr Boo's parents we would go early so we had some day left to spend at home together.
The roads where actually quite quiet today and no traffic jams which is virtually unheard of in North London. We took Thomas with us as he's going back home on Tuesday it was a nice relaxing morning chating over a cup of tea and finding out whats been happening with them, only wish we lived a bit closer as they are getting older and both have health issues.
On the way home we stopped off at Asdas and got some more fruit, again!!! I'm spending a small fortune on fruit and swear that I'm keeping Asda's fruit section in profit!
My step dad came round today for a chat and to drop off a tent he had bought for my son for his camping, he upset me a little bit with his talk of holidays and hotels they are going to when he knows that we are strapped financial wise - dont' get me wrong I don't begrudge them having holidays, I just don't need it rammed down my throat especially when in the next breath mum is pleading poverty when I have even said anything about the debt we are in. Anyhoooo, enough of that I think my hormones are playing up today - I might not be rich in money, but I am rich in the love of my family - I know that sounds corny but its true. Money can't buy that
Anyhoo enough of feeling down, I'm not going to let things beat me, here's what I've had to eat today so far;-
Breakfast - 2 wheatabix with semi skimmed milk
Snack - 2 doughnut peaches
Lunch - Tilda's lime and corriander rice (2 syns)
Dinner - is going to be gammon with mixed veg and potatoes
Hope everyone is having a lovely day Boo xxxx

Right I've had my dinner which was yum and my treats so, so I'm going to have a nice cup of coffee, take a nice relaxing long bath then get my things ready for work tomorrow.
Not looking forward to it to be honest, hopefully weather permitting I will walk to work again, I really need to get some sort of rain mac or something so if it does start to rain I'll have some protection, its terrible how you come to rely on the car so much
Weigh in on Tuesday I'm sooo hoping I've managed to get some of that gain off, I will be devastated if I haven't
Right thats me for tonight, catch you all tomorrow Boo xxxx

I know what you mean about other people pleading poverty and then swanning off on holiday - I have a friend who's terrible for it, she still lives at home and her parents pay for everything for her and I'm trying to find money for the council tax bill lol. Just smile and nod I find that's the best thing to do!
Hope work goes quick for you today, and I'm positive you will see the back of some (if not all) of that gain on Tuesday

Trying again in 2012
Hi Boo,
I hope you're feeling better this morning lovely and that the date for your op comes very quickly!
Thank you for typing out that lovely sounding recipe, I have a bag of chicken thighs in the freezer so might plan that one for the weekend - providing mr Pie hasn't curried them by then as he is apt to do! We both love spicy food and most things left lingering for too long end up in a curry or a chilli!!
I'm sure we must have the same mum and dad you know - mine are off in a few weeks for their third or fourth trip this year and they're already talking about a trying to fit in another one before Christmas!! However, at least they don't have the cheek to plead poverty in the same conversation ! I just keep thinking that now in my thirties is when life is meant to be tough and that when I reach their age it should be easier - just not sure I have the right plan in place to get me from here to there yet!! Meanwhile, we have our lovely families and our virtual minimims families to keep us sane - or at least in some semblance of sanity!!
Take care lovely xxx

Day 91 - Tuesday 16 August 2011
Hiya girlies thanks for the lovely get well messages, head is still not right so I'm leaving my contact lenses out this morning and wearing my glasses (which is something I never do!) feels very strange but I'll see how it goes lol
Cherry, I agree with your post whole heartedly, I'm in my forties and still struggling! Well at least its same ol, same ol lol, never mind as you said we have our families and our minimins family which really helps
Right back to today, I had a ham omlette this morning, but I think I've just gone off them! Strange how something tastes lovely one day and next its not so, never mind I'll have to think of something else to have for breakfast during the week which does not use any of my healthy extras up, any ideas anyone?
Lunch today is 3 riveta with low low spread and some pickle (got to find out the syns) with some fruit, not sure about dinner tonight but I think its chicken!
Weigh in tonight and if I have lost any of that 4 lb I put on last week I'll be really upset - watch this space.
Thomas is going home today so Mr Boo will be feeling down when I get home, I'll have to give him a big cuddle and remind him he'll see him again soon.
My daughter Cass is due down in a couple of weeks, I'm sooo looking forward to spending some time with her, I can't wait
Right I'm off to read some diaries, I'm being naughty as I'm at work lol Boo xxx
