Cruise PV ChrisR dukan journey

[CHRISR]

god only knows how i will cope chris.... im having panic attacks about it already.... think the best thing for me will be a gradual intoduction

Oh, I feel the same Ellie. Reading Anja's post about conso did make it clearer for me but still very apprehensive. Wierd to think that I thought I'd never get here and now I am (short of -2) its just so scary. Stupid I know but ........... today in the college refectory there were lots of different meals but I wouldnt have thanked anyone for any of it - stuffed jackets looked greasy & messy, bland rice, sticky pasta etc it didnt look appetising at all. I had 2 grilled chicken skewers with salad - I was happy and my colleagues wish they had chosen it too they all ended up with indigestion except me so in my head Im thinking 'do I want indigestion - NO!

Im confident we will be fine Ellie we will just take it day by day, will get our moneys worth out of our scales - we will be hopping on and off like grasshoppers LOL x

Wed PV 2/5
Just had some sad news from a very close friend of mine - her dad passed away this afternoon, he was in his 80s but he was very active until a week ago, he broke his hip. Nothing could be done as he rapidly went weaker and weaker. He was a lovely kind very gentle man who adored children he was like a pied piper when mine were small. My son adored him too always wanted him to get on the bouncy castle with him - ah its very sad so a funeral for me next week possible Wed or Thurs, will have to ask for time off tomorrow. Dont want to go really but I have to pay my respects. MrR and my 2 children may be able to come with me too - hope so fingers x, if not then I will be fine.

Taxi service now taking child no 2 to his on/off girlfriend's so catch you all later x

 

[sididd]

Sad times Chris, your sons on/off girlfriend is she more on or off lol

 

[CHRISR]

yep, thinking of my lovely friend and her family. on/off girlfriend - well no idea sid its a mystery! my girl is an open book like me but my son is defo a closed book until he's ready to tell -

 

[ellie1969]

my boy sometimes tells me too much lol.... he said to me on the phone after we had been out for dinner with him and his GF that he thinks shes the one lol

 

[Mirjam]

Thanks Chris, was quite chuffed too as it's my personal best so far. Cannot believe my muscles still ache though! Must be cos I'm getting older... Have decided to do a 5K run once a week on the beach boulevard here, it's a so-called park run. No idea why they do it on the boulevard instead, there's plenty of parks in Aberdeen lol

 

[CHRISR]

my boy sometimes tells me too much lol.... he said to me on the phone after we had been out for dinner with him and his GF that he thinks shes the one lol

the on/off girlfriend is here sat on my sofa and they do look very friendly!!! very strange in my younger days you were either going out together or not!!! My son is very much like his dad - keeps his cards close to hiss chest .......... oh well as long as he's happy thats all that matters to me.

 

[sididd]

Yes as long as they are happy, got my youngest and gf till January.....hubby so gready he's hiding his chocolate bars in his knickers draw so they can't eat any more of his chocolate hahaha

 

[trudyc]

Keep on telling my girls that it was different in my day too Chris and then I feel really really old!!! Things are different though that is true!!! Hope your looking forward to your weekend off - my fingers and toes will be crossed for a good weigh in on Sunday !xxx

 

[CHRISR]

Yes T im off now until Tuesday in Wednesday then off for my friend's Dad's funeral so a very short week next week would prefer to go to work though instead of somewhere sad - my 2 lovely children want to go too so I think we will go out somewhere for lunch after the crematorium service.

Im so tired im fidgeting cant keep still and i have to be a taxi later to take my son's on/off girlfriend home. Can have a little lie in tomorrow morning MrR is off decided to have a long weekend himself. Lots to do tomorrow so I can have a nice weekend doing nothing

 

[sididd]

a nice weekend doing nothing sounds good to me xxx

 

[CHRISR]

yes sid well no housework just good things such as jewellery making, cross stitch, cooking, reading, walking etc etc x

 

[sididd]

I've got a book I want to read this weekend, shadows of a workhouse, its the follow up book of the bbc series midwifes. Its hear beside me ready. love your hobbies, wish I could do something but I'm just not arty xxx

 

[ellie1969]

That reminds me I've got my craft box here finally so I can do some jewellry

Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

 

[sididd]

I'm probably asking a stupid question and this time not Dukan related but your craft box, do you buy a kit then assemby part ????

 

[ellie1969]

my craft box is just a plastic bow with a lid lol... but its got my beads wires tools etc in it along with the hoops for my embroidery machine & other bits and bobs in it. when i was clearing at the other house i found a box with a cross stitch in it that id forgotton about ....must check that next time im down to see if its finshed. also must bring my embroidery machine up.... i was actually asked by a girl yesterday if i could do logo labels for her business ... now if she'd asked me last week i would have had the machine up with me

 

[CHRISR]

love any craft but especially jewellery making - a good set of tools are essential. Bead shops sometimes do workshops for half or a full day so you could learn some techniques Sid. Ebay is brilliant to buy stuff from too. Youtube is fab for learning stuff. Ive been trying to crochet for 30 years (yep so long) after watching youtube tutorials i can now go in straight lines and can actually turn corners might be another 30 years before I can actually make something but at least noone can say I havent tried - LOL. I can actually crochet chain stitch in wire for necklaces or bracelets - Picture below is a necklace I made awhile ago.

Get crafting Sid stops you eating

I work with a lot of talented creative people, me I just have a go ........ we are making jubilee brooches out of union jack buttons and red,white & blue ribbon for staff to wear on open day at work (theme will be the jubilee 'tea party' celebrations) - lots of planning next week with what floral designs students are going to make for the displays - love it.
