Cheekychinchilla's food and stuff

Holy crap I feel rough! I've no idea what's going on with my symptoms at the moment. They're not being their usual self or following usual patterns. Have noticed the last couple of times I've taken the migraine meds that I've felt really ill. I mean they still lift the 'fog' and make me clearer, but I'm getting more acute, burning pain in my head and face and actually feel more nauseous. What the hell?!
Today is a bad day and I really do think that it's down to me not sleeping properly. Doesn't look like there's any hope of the builders next door being finished today. They've dismantled their front porch and only started on the patio doors today :cry: I had to lock the dogs up and close the curtains coz they needed to come through our back garden and take a fence panel out to get in to the neighbours garden lol!
I don't mind the noise and stuff in the day, can totally block it out. But waking me up so much is really starting to get to me. Esp as I know I'm not going to get to bed until about 3am today..... Eeeep!

Did some reading for my course, maybe about 45mins. Feel so sick and painful in my face. It's really burning!!! :(
Ah well, just catching up with the Wright Stuff before I go over to Michelle's for tea.xx
 
It sounds as though the migraine meds aren't doing the trick any more, sounds like you've become immune to them :( Maybe you need to keep on tricking your body by changing the meds.
It's not good you're still not sleeping properly, would getting some earplugs help? I know when I first went on nights I had to get a blindfold because I couldn't sleep in the light. If it's noisy outside I put the radio on to distract me.
The mini halloween party sounds fun, you'll have a giggle :)
Hope you have a great time tonight x x x
 
I haven't even taken many of the migraine meds Tace. Think I took 2 last week and this is my first this week. I'm barely using them at all :( I wonder whether it really was just a placebo affect from the first lot? Or maybe the 5mg are too strong? Might be worth halving them and seeing how that does. I dunno, feel skeptical about them now :(

I can't wear ear plugs. One of my ears is deformed inside and it's really, really painful to wear them - even those foam ones that mould to the shape of your ears. Really odd, but an absolute pain in the a*se lol! Will just have to put up with it. Hoping tomorrow is their last day working on next door. Why can't they be late and finish early like all the other builders I've ever known?! lol
I'm generally really good at blocking out sounds and have very dark curtains. But this hammering/drilling/demolition makes the hole house jump! I can feel the noise, if that makes sense?!

Had a nice time at michelle's. Kinda cooked my own tea again LOL! I need to find a SW carbonara recipe way better than that tho. It was literally an egg and some grated cheese stirred in to pasta. My brain was going "THAT'S RAW EGG!!" so I had to heat mine up a little bit and of course it kinda scrambled the egg. Was pretty gross, but didn't want to upset Michelle! She avoids veg like the plague, but seriously need to find a better recipe than egg and cheese :confused: i ate it anyway coz I was starving! And I took my own Quorn ham and bought some broccoli to steam :)

Was very good at the cinema and didn't cave in to anything at all! Even came home with my banana :p Michelle had popcorn and Dairy Milk! Torture! But I was good!!

Got really annoyed though coz I kinda had this Twitter friend that turned in to a stalker and then turned nasty. She was there again and was talking to the staff. When I walked past I heard her say "That's the girl" :eek: FFS! I had a feeling she'd been bad mouthing me as it happened to a few of the 'film' lads on twitter and she told me all about it. She'd told all the cinema staff (3 cinemas) in Liverpool that these lads, they're mid twenties she's late 50's, were bullying her and ganging up on her. So she has staff or security with her all the time at cinemas! I actually spoke to them when she turned on me and all's they did was tell her they didn't want to speak to her any more and ignored her at the cinema. She went really stalker-ish on them too. So f*ck knows what she's been saying about me :( I go to this cinema at least once a week. Really p*ssed me off!!! :mad:

Anyway, it's bloody late and I need to try and get some sleep. Not going to say anything at all about the film and give people a chance to go see it :)
Night all.xx
 
First of all well done on being so good at the piccies :D
What a strange woman, has she mental health issues? It's not normal for someone to go around doing that :confused: She sounds like she really lonely and is making stuff up for attention, not the sort of person you need in your life. I hope you stopped all links to her.
Fingers crossed they finished fitting the windows next door today so you don't get disturbed all the time. Such a pain you can't use earplugs :(

And here you go, a recipe for your cabonara :)
Slimming World Recipes: Slimming World - Spaghetti Carbonara
You just need to use quorn ham in stead of the real thing x x
 
Thanks Tace :D Is Quark really as horrible as people make it out to be? Know a decent replacement? I want to WOW Michelle with a proper recipe ;)

The Twitter woman I think is just very very lonely. I feel so awful for her, but she is a bit nuts! When we all talked to her she would get free cinema tickets for previews for people and gain friends that way. The first one me and my Sis went to we met quite a few of the film lads - who are lovely btw! But what happened with them was that she would text/call them all the time, offer to buy them things if they were whinging on Twitter they wanted a BluRay player/Playstation/collectible, offer to lend them money, follow their Twitter feeds and just happen to be at the same cinema at the same time.... So, they all stopped talking to her and avoided her at the cinema. I was around for this fallout and the woman was telling me, my friends, my Mum, anyone I was with when I bumped in to her how they were threatening her, ganging up on her at cinema's and following her, posting nasty things on Twitter (they weren't, I follow them!!), etc. She told all the staff at various cinema's and it got to the point where she would always have a staff/security 'escort' whenever she was there. She had them opening screens early for her and have someone meet her at the end :confused:
And this happened to me. She started trying to get really involved in my life, offered to buy me things, give me money for stuff, started getting really stroppy when I couldn't make it to screenings or wouldn't call in sick to go, she wanted my Mum's email address, and started chatting to my friends on Twitter. I remember when I met Dave and started dating him she said something like "I'm so glad, I never thought you'd meet someone" I'd known her about 6 months! And when that ended and I started seeing my friend Ste she said "It's not another bloody distance relationship is it?!" It just got way too much and in the end she had an argument with my fake Brother on Twitter and I backed him up - he was right! And she stopped talking to me, so I eventually unfollowed and blocked her, then just started ignoring her at the cinema. I didn't know what else to do and she was being a proper stalker and way too clingy! Absolute nightmare!
So, knowing she bad mouthed all the boys I had a feeling she would do the same to me. And it looks like she has!! I'm so, so angry!!!

Anyway, the films went well. I watched the first with my glasses and wore the 2D converter glasses. And watched the new one with my glasses and 3D glasses. Both were ok actually. I found the 2D glasses a little blurry if I wasn't directly looking at the screen. But no crazy symptoms with either :)
It's a shame I'm having to wear my glasses more and more though :(

Builders were back this morning and woke me up at 10 (I went to sleep around 4am!) but I refused to get up and must have snoozed in between the drilling, sawing, and breaking stuff up with hammers.... *twitches* God I hope they'll be done today!!

Today also started with a bit of a drama. I was supposed to be going to the cinema with my fake brother & sister-in-law, the one's who're always late or cancel. And, yup, they cancelled on me! But the message I got was kinda "We're not going to see that film at that time coz we can't, so we're going to see something else at another time, sorry" But didn't tell me what time the other film was or even hinted that I could go. Just we can't make that plan so we're doing something else. This sort of thing has been happening a LOT lately and I feel really hurt by it :( I think they're just being a bit rubbish, they're busy, and not realising what they're actually doing. They're so odd. They can be SO supportive and caring and thoughtful but then go to this total opposite extreme :(
I literally begged to see them a few times over the last 2 weeks, explaining I needed to talk about John and explain things and just generally see and talk to them. I've either been ignored or they've changed the plans that they've made. Just :(

So, not feeling too good today. So having a couch day and doing bugger all else but eat and watch tv :p

Not doing anything didn't last long! Have been out and de-poo'd the garden and sorted out the bunnies - quick clean, food, and a cuddle for Ralph :) did my dishes too!
But, worry not, I'm back on the couch now with a mug of coffee and watching Tucker & Dale Vs Evil :D

Can't decide what I want for tea. Still a bit too full from lunch lol.

Oh, got a new Graze box today and they're all "light" snacks :D 3 are under 100cals and the popcorn is about 120cal I think :D I still have 2 snacks from my last box. Looking forward to them on weeks where I'm not saving for a naughty day lol!x
 
I don't mind quark, if you're adding other ingredients to it you can't taste it. It's just fat free cream cheese, you could try fromage frais but it curdles a lot easier and you couldn't put it on the heat. Other than that I would say 0% yogurt at a push but wouldn't have the mild cheesy tatse.
It's sad when people get that lonely but it doesn't excuse her behaviour when she doesn't get the attention she wants. We have had guests like that who have boderline mental illnesses who are not ill enough to be in care but definutely shouldn't be allowed to wonder around on their own with no help like they do. I had one woman sectioned because she was being ignored she ate some glass out of a wine glass and claimed it was a faulty glass. I got witness statements to say she bit it and I got the glass which had 2 bite marks in it. They stay in hotels because they know there's always staff around to give them attention because we have to because it's our job.
She's only doing and saying what she is because she can't get attention the normal way because she's too overwhelming. I think the best thing to do is ignore her. She wants you to react because it's better than being ignored.
Sorry that your fake brother and sister-in-law cancelled on you :( It's a bit off them not re-arranging or inviting you. Is it that they're too busy? I know it's not right but sometimes people get busy and so wrapped up in their own lives they forget about the people who might need them or are close to them.
That always happens to me I say I'm going to chill and end up doing more than on a busy day lol. The cuddles with Ralph will have been nice :D
I used to graze boxes every week but I just thought they were a lot of syns for what they are, I'm stingy with my syns lol x x
 
I'm willing to give Quark a go if you say it works well for this kind of thing. I've just enever used it coz everyone whinges about it lol! But if it works, it works!

The woman is like late 50's and she does have some physical disability/illness and she does suffer from depression. I do think she's just desperately lonely, but ends up coming across as very clingy and a bit of a stalker. I feel bad for her, but I can't be doing with stuff like that. She's old enough to know better! But yeah, the way she's exaggerated to staff is definitely for attention. Just pisses me off coz that's my local cinema and I go a LOT!
That's horrific about the guests you've had to deal with! Makes sense that people like that would go to a hotel because of 24hr staff!!

I really do think my friends are just being a bit rubbish and not realising what's happening. They're always a bit crap and are always late for things and often change plans. But all this cancelling at the last minute is really crap! I mean like today, so they couldn't make it to the showing we were supposed to go to and went to see something else. Well, couldn't I have gone to that too? Couldn't they have just said "Can we change the time?" :confused:
They never tell me about things either so I have no idea what's going on with them. I'm trying to be sympathetic, but when I've literally begged (more than once) to see them because I need to talk and they've ignored me or cancelled plans, it's really hurtful :( It's not like I'm just sitting waiting for them to get in touch, they have done, and then just cancel. But I've not even had the likes of a "How are you?" text. Just cancellations or leaving me waiting all day when we're supposed to be doing something.
Just feeling left out and like we're drifting a bit. I'm sure it will be ok, just sucks at the moment.

I'm really tight with my syns too - which is why I have 2 left over from the box I got 2 weeks ago :p But the Graze boxes are new and a bit of a novelty. I want to drop them to once a month so I can have a treat tub a week, that'd be good! Got a feeling I'll end up cancelling, but they're new and exciting for now :) x
 
Don't get me wrong, I love the graze boxes. It's just that they're so small and quite syn-ful, but that's because they're nuts, seeds and dried fruit which are high syn items but are in themselves still healthy snacks.
I'm not surprised you're upset, it does seem like they're neglecting you. I know if was me I would not contact them but wait for to see how long it took them to get in touch with me, that's probably my pride though :( Have you ever talked about this with them? x x
 
Lots of the new Graze products are a bit more SW friendly. I don't like nuts or the majority of dried fruits, so all the ones I've ticked I'd like avoid them. I did get a tub of dried English fruit and it's 75cal I think. So not too bad :) I've had some really nice snacks so far and does feel like a bit of a treat. I'll prob get bored with it soon :p

My friend text me and I worked out she was out with fake brother and his brother (my ex) at the Homotopia thing in Liverpool. So now I know why they cancelled on me again. Have sent a message explaining how I feel and just waiting for a reply. I'm hoping I can explain that I'm just being honest and would expect them to do the same to me. If I was upsetting someone I'd want to know. I just feel so, so awful about it :( Don't want to lose them!
Currently having an attack of Raynaud's from the stress. Brilliant! :rolleyes:
 
Oh, found a big piece of sharp plastic in my tea tonight. It was pasta, ratatouille I made myself, and Quorn meatballs. So took a picture and have kept the plastic and emailed Quorn. Seems like the most likely culprit, even though I don't actually know. Will see what they say!
It got in to my mouth before I realised. Ick!!
 
Quark can taste a bit yoghurty in recipies I've found... How about a bit of philly light? I know it isnf free (would be part hexA) but you ger quite a bit and I find it goes quite far in recipes!
Quark is kinda like less creamy sour cream, can be good for dips and stuff.

I only go for 3D if it is a mire conve ient time, too :p I try to acoid and support 2D showings as I find 3D so annoying 90% of the time!
X
 
I think I'll try it and see what it's like. Light Philly would probably be really nice tho. I like throwing that in pasta anyway, but don't buy it very often coz it goes off before I can use it all.

Yeah I don't get the whole 3D thing. Most films don't benefit from it at all. I barely noticed that Thor 2 was in 3D, it was very subtle, which was nice coz I hate in your face 3D. But it didn't bring anything to the film. It's a stunningly beautiful film anyway, as is the first one, so the 3D seemed unnecessary.

Just trying a Galaxy Bubbles hot chocolate for the first time. I poured the water on it and it crackled!! So bizarre lol! Haven't tried it yet, but it smells nice.

Feel really sick waiting for my friend to reply :( x
 
Happy Halloween everyone :D I have my doggy x-ray/skeleton tee on :D

No news from my friend :( But she has text Michelle and asked her out for coffee next week. I'm so bloody confused and sad!

Mini-party (not so mini if you could see the food!) tonight so have eaten well today, I think, to save syns and stuff. Just had 2 Weetabix with banana, maple syrup (1), and kara milk.
Loads of syns tonight tho. A frightful amount you may say..... haaaaaa!

Had a really, really weird dream last night! But no builders this morning. Huzzah!!!
Weird dream:

It was like I was going to Scotland with John, but I was lying down in the back of the car and couldn't see who it was. Just assumed it was him.
We got wherever we were going and he told me he was having his mates rounds to watch porn (lol) and I had to look after his kids :confused:
The house was massive and in the morning I bumped into Rachelle and she came back with us.
It was a massive long drive and he dropped me and Rachelle at a 7 Eleven and an American bath house for a bit - wtf?!
We went in to the bath house and it was so bizarre. In the waiting area you got handcuffed to the first thing you touched and there was food everywhere, but when you touched it it changed to something else.
I was talking to this old woman who had big puffy purple hair and the had a Dachshund with the same puffy purple hair.
Don't remember the bath bit but Martin, my ex, came in to get us :confused: Bizarre!!
 
Well they do say "no new is good news", I hope this is the case x
What a weird dream, you couldn't make that up if you tried lol. At the builders have gone so you won't get disturbed as much :D
Sounds like you're having fun, put everything to the back of your mind and enjoy x x x
 
Had a really good night last night! We watched Paranorman - which is fantastic!! While I was making the food I had Trapdoor on. I love that so much! There was a fantastic line though. Birk said "I do love a bit of bonking" :8855:
Mum and Rachelle went to bed and John came in to sit with me. We watched V/H/S which is a terrible, boring film. We actually cheered when it finished!
So to make up for that we watched the Buffy season 4 Halloween ep "Fear Itself" and then Hush". Hush is by far the scariest Buffy episode ever.
If you haven't seen Hush it's a silent episode. These monsters turn up in Sunnydale and steal everyone's voices. Then they go round cutting hearts out of people. They just float round grinning and are really scary!
It also has some of the best comedy moments in it too :D

The Gentlemen: 17hush.jpg

Feeling a bit low today and really headachey and fuzzy! Had some weird dreams again but I forgot to leave myself a reminder when I'd woken up through the night. But yeah, the one from yesterday you just couldn't make up lol!
Still no news from my fake brother and sister :( Caz has text my friend Michelle and set up a coffee date with her next week and has text her a couple of times.
I really don't know what's going. I think there's a chance she didn't get the text or only got part of it. My phone does this crazy thing where it adds in extra bits of text from old conversations and mixes everything up. Caz gets the worst of those. So that could have happened too. Whatever is going on I feel really sad and confused about it :(

Right, food excuse time.... There's a ton of party food left and my Sister and John are out tonight and my Mum's going for a meal. And I hate throwing food away! So going to have some leftovers for tea and maybe share a few bits with the dogs.
It made me laugh last night though because even the sweet/cake stuff was all low calorie. They bought Funsize Twix and Maltesers, Fiendish Fancies, and mini chocolate muffins. Everything was under 100cals a go lol! See, even being naughty we're still quite good :p
Think I'll make a 'ham' sandwich and have the party bits tonight.

Have had Weetabix, banana, dried Graze fruit (76cals), and 2 tsp of maple syrup, with Kara milk for lunch.

Want to try and do some course reading, but might have to do it in really small chunks. Feels so down and fuzzy and really not with it. Also need to sort the bunnies today, so will drag my ass out there later.x
 
So glad you had a good time last night, it's just what the doctor ordered :D It's nice to have good times especially when you're having a sh@tty time, they're what keep you going.
No wonder you're confused, it does sound as though she's ignoring your texts :( It could still be a mix up, it's best to wait and see what happens.
You can't throw all that food away ;) enjoy it :) It might make you feel better lol. And well done on getting some lectures read, you've certainly got your head back into study mode x x x
 
It was a fun night, it really was. And not a single trick or treater so all the goodies we bought are for us! All those low cal treats LOL!

I think this friend thing is a massive mix up of some kind, but because they wont talk to me and I don't want to push it I have no idea what's going on! It's incredibly confusing and I feel so sick and jittery and really anxious :( :eek:

Hehe I can't waste all that food. Not during such a huge financial crisis ;) I feel a bit sick now lol but it was still nice :D Now there's really only meaty stuff left, so wont bother me ;)

I hadn't done any work at all for 2 days so felt I should do something. Didn't feel up to it at all, but don't want to slack off too often and fall in to not doing it again. Anything's better than nothing right? :) xx
