Diary of a menopausal Yorkshire lass...

[Clapper&Ham]

No wool! :sigh: I've not even had the email to say it's been dispatched...
Hope it's here for the weekend.

I had more than one glass Moira - it was nearer a bottle, which was a bit dumb on a night before work, ouch!!
I've just had a greggs pigfest for lunch, I won't go into what I had but I now feel quite sick

I'm all fired up and ready to get registered at the group this afternoon, I really hope it's a nice one, and I can get myself sorted out once and for all.

Good luck on the group I'm sure they will all be nice thinking of you Xx

 

[b_44]

Good luck with your new group today! hope it goes well. sure it will, remember everyone's in the same boat

 

[Clapper&Ham]

YAAAY!
I DID IT!
I nearly chickened out, but I went AND I bought a 6 week countdown. The consultant was really nice, and it seems a friendly group, not that I spoke to anyone but I'm sure I will in time.
Only slight query is she wants me to have 10 syns? What do you think?

Other good news is my wool has been dispatched, so if I'm lucky it should arrive tomorrow.

 

[leshrew]

Well done you, syn seem ok too, and soon you can get knitting all good Xx

 

[b_44]

Glad the group seem friendly and nice. Personally id carry on having up to 15 and see how you go

Well done Mandy on joining group this evening, paying for 6 weeks is a really good idea cos it will make sure you go, as far as the syns go i think its a personal choice what you choose to do. sometimes we underestimate how many syns we use each day and maby by allowing you to have 10 she knows you will still be covered if you go over a bit.
the main thing to remember is to have plenty of superfree and you will be grand.

Shame about the jacket potato, doesn't sound very nice! Is it one you cooked yourself or a bought one? x

 

[Clapper&Ham]

No, it was from a sandwich shop close to work, it was really disgusting!
I need to have a good think about my work lunches...

Well I completed my 10 day challenge Mandy. Lost 1lb which is my target; it's a long, slow process but determined to keep at it. Good luck with your new group; I use most of my syns each day (perhaps I'd lose more if I cut down on syns but then I think I'd be tempted to go off plan more often than I already have done :sigh: )

 

[Clapper&Ham]

That's excellent! Well done!
You've shown me up, but hopefully I've turned over a new leaf now.

 

[b_44]

Ohh yum, cheesy chips! I'm gonna have to make some of those. X

It was a takeaway - it's against my religion to cook on a Sunday
I've never had it before, I loved the sauce, but the black bean are potent little blighters aren't they? I picked them out in the end!
