Evening folks!
Ooh it seems ages since I've been on here!
I've had a really busy few days with work, visiting relatives and meals out etc. so I have a lot to bring u up to date with.
But by far my biggest, most important and pretty amazing news is that the chest surgeon is as confident as he can be that mum does NOT have lung cancer.
In fact he doesn't think she has cancer at all, despite telling her a month ago that she had lymphoma. Having studied the lab reports of her biopsies, he thinks she may have a problem with her immune system. And he has no idea what the tumours are on her lungs, and its possible they won't ever find out, but they're pretty sure its not cancer.
So we're obviously over the moon, but sadly too scared to really celebrate in case they change their minds again. The plan for the immediate future is that they will monitor her closely with scans and blood tests...she actually has one next week.
Now, moving on to wi last night...
I gained 6lbs which was a teeny bit less than I thought, and certainly less than I deserved after all the bad stuff I've eaten!
So I'm now 7lbs over target and I've decided to try to lose it again by the end of January, which should be perfectly do able, I think!
Had a wonderful Indian meal last night with my old school friend Frances and her husband. We just went to the local restaurant, but the food and service was absolutely spot on! And the waiter even gave Frances the pot her ice cream came in to take home with her!
And now for today.
Gwyn had his stitches out and they're very pleased with how he's healing. We shud get the results by post.
Work was rather bad with a couple of vehicles breaking down and lack of staff on the road.
But it was brightened by the light of my life having coffee with me!
Tbh I was starting to think I was never going to live it down...not doing coffee for a week...so I thought it best that we meet up! Twas very nice Sarah, but you weren't of course, so that's alright!
And then of course we hit the all u can eat buffet tonight. And we did! We managed 14 courses between us lol! Not bad going!
And the lovely not nice Sarah gave us the very nice Christmas presents of home made raspberry vodka, and home made whiskey cream (which we had when we got home and was totally gorgeous!), and an invitation to go chocolate making with Sarah! Perfect!
And Andrew, Doug, vicki and Matt are all home from Newcastle having had a really great time there.
Oh, and I forgot to say Daniel went to the pictures last night with the hussy nurse that gave him her number and they got on well, so I think he's seeing her again on new years eve!
Here's a few more pics from tonite...

Demolisher Dawn - you're entitle to a bingew once in a while. I guess it's not your fault that December 2011 is that once in a while lol.
Anyway, I'm one to talk your half stone over is doubled by my one stone over.
Been a good day, not only is Bev coming over in Feb, but I've managed to get her to promise to lay off the fizz and lose her weight in time for the meet. If not she's going in the lake
AT LEAST THAT'S MY INTERPRETATION OF OUR PM'S

Dawn - I am so soooooo pleased that the news for you mum is so positive. yay!
And Gwyn - you can hardly see the scars in those piccies!
And as for the chinese. Now that is really a torment for one who loves chinese food and has had nothing but speed fruit and veg, plus a bit of chicken fillet (the real sort - not your sort) all day!!! Well that is apart from the whole bottle of fizz I've almost demolished! Hic !!! Oh well that takes care of today's and tomorrow's syns!

Now I might be the best end of a bottle of fizz down but I would certainly remember saying something like that. Wouldn't I?

Be strong Gail.....Looks like you're my last hope of a successful SW'er (along with Jackie of course).
You get back to target by your next Florida trip and I'll pay your Cinnabon bill whilst you're there! - deal?
I might live to regret that one

Plodding on.......
I might not be in Florida for a while (which might be a good thing as I overdosed on cinnabons last time !) so you might be safe However, as difficult as it has been today, I am still on track - yaaaay. Thanks for your faith in me (or was it just an opportunity to have a dig at others........!).

Well it appears I may be 10st 9lbs now...! Still, it was a good night and well worth the 2lbs!

Hey Dawn
Sounds like you had a good evening, in fact a few good evenings! You very much deserve that though.
So pleased to hear about your mum. That is definitely good news, I hope they are right and find out exactly what the issue is and can treat it quickly. Brilliant about Gwyn too, you can't see the scars in the photo. Hope you hear from them soon.
I haven't got my new book yet buy have been hearing that crunchy bran ad bread have been reduced but some cheeses and porridge have increased. Hmmm I wonder why.
Any plans for this weekend? Have a good one x

The details I have been given is that wm bread allowance for HexB is now 60g instead of 57g.
Dawn, can you check this for me please. If that has gone down I will be mightily mad!

Banter ? - is that what you call it. In the UK we call it libel!!Ickle Steve? I thought you said you needed to lose 21 lbs?
And Oy - clear your PM box. It's full and I can't send you any more banter.
21lb is nothing! - besides you know when most people carry their weight in their thighs, or mid-riff etc.? - well I carry mine in me gob!
