Hi ladies x

Thanks again for being so tolerant of my body art lol! I think I may well be addicted now! Although I think the flowers are about finished...might add some green but I'm going to leave it to settle down first. So I'd still like a humming bird near the flowers, and maybe a butterfly in my Dads' favourite colours x.

We had a really nice night at the pub again :party0023: It wasn't too busy so we easily got a table, and Barry played a good variety of music, along with any requests. So we all asked for a record of course :party0048: And the best was saved till last...Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol...my choice of course! :party0049: And I only succumbed to one small glass of red wine so I was very proud of myself!

This morning I went to church as the minister was the one who married Gwyn and I and I wanted to see him. Lionel is in his eighties and rarely comes to Northampton as he lives over an hour away, so I like to see him when I can.

This afternoon we're watching Saints v Sarries on TV. It's half time atm hence the quick update lol!

And food has been good too...although the scales are saying I've gained yet another pound :rolleyes: Possibly over indulged on the delicious bread yesterday!

I've just ordered a dress and top online...only £5 each and so far all their stuff has been ok so hoping these will be too...

More tattoos??? Gosh you have got the bug badly ha ha ha. Glad you had a good evening last night and well done on staying away from the alcohol :)

I hope your scales are just playing up and that by Thursday that pound has gone. I'm sure it will it you are good this week which I have confidence you will be :)

Hope the Saints are winning. Liking the top and dress, what a bargain! I'm going shopping tomorrow, would be ecstatic if I can find some £5 bargains!!

Have a good evening chick x

Hi Dawnie !!!

Glad all is well in your world and that you are enjoying yourself so much even though you have been so busy what with souper days and souper testing ( had to be done for such a worthy cause so therefore syn free ).

Ignore the scales . I am sure they are lying. Just keep doing what you do so well which is SW and hey presto they will speak the truth once again. Any way 1 lb/2 lbs, you look fantastic !!!

Good morning Dawn, have a lovely Monday!xx
 
Morning all x

Forgot to post last night as I was really busy being taught by Matthew how to add music to my new phone lol!

Oh and then I had a wonderful (2 hour!!!) chat with the gorgeous Gail !!! :)

And hopefully I'm going to stay with her for a few days in a couple of months, and she's going to come and stay with us too!! :)

Don't know what we managed to talk about for all that time lol!

So anyway I'm quite tired now so hopefully I'll get some sleep.

Back soon!! Xx

P.S. would you just look at where Suki has bedded down for the night!!!

Aww bless suki so cute! Shenzi does that as well but she tends to take up just a tad more room than half a pillow lol

Hope you manage to get some sleep xx
 
Morning Dawn !!!
 
Howdie Dawniepops (and the gang)

Again on my rounds as not been around much at all of late. Have a few time-taking things regarding building an antenna farm (for my radio) and re-kindling my interest with tropical fish.

Amazing how time-demanding these little critters are - though not so much the fish but the tank, decor and keeping clean and parasite free as well as the chemical balance etc.

'Twas never like when I won goldfish from the fair as a youth.;)
 
Evening ladies, and Sarah, and Steve!!! :eek:

Blimey hunni! Been a while since I put that! :flirt2: Nice to see you here anyway x

Well I eventually got off to sleep last night, despite Sukis attempts to sleep in every single square inch of the bed at some point or other during the night!

I decided to do some cooking this morning while Gwyn was out, so I made a massive saucepan of leek/onion/carrot and swede soup, and cheered it up a bit by throwing in a generous measure of curry powder and jerk seasoning :drool:

And then I made another chickpea cake...which I managed to practically eat all of. Again. But it IS very small. Or at least it WAS... I flavoured it with almond essence this time and it was really lovely!

This afternoon I've been really busy doing stuff on the computer, and I've also managed to get the hang of putting music on my phone, at last! :party0048:

Had a phone call today from one of the couples at church asking us to go for dinner at theirs on Saturday night so I'm really looking forward to that! Ruth is a brilliant cook, and I'm fully expecting to have a delicious meal. :gimi:

Then we have the Saints playing on Sunday :bliss:

And then we're off to Bournemouth on Monday for 5 days! :clap: I think it will be lovely to have a few days away, although I doubt I'll spend much of it on plan :whistle:

I think your adding up has gone a wee bit wrong. 6+2 equals 8 not 7!! Ha ha, obviously that chick pea cake has gone to your head hehe.

Glad you had a good day. Ooh didn't realise you were off on holiday soon, lovely!!

You working today or day of leisure? Have fun x

Nah, she's a lady of leisure again.
Of course.
The woman is never here to make me a cuppa.
Ever.
I'm just a poor deprived NHS worker...

Well I don't know about a bikini, but I can confirm that Diligent Dawnie made it to the gym this morning.

I can't tell you exactly what she did there in terms of times & speeds and stuff, because I was busy trying to stop myself from dying. But she definitely had a good workout and can be proud of herself.

And of course I'm not going to mention the fact that she then had to go into work in her trainers because of bringing 2 left boots in with her...
 
Let's get one thing straight!

Bikini days are LONG gone lol!!!

I did do well didn't I sis? :)

I did 3k walk/run on the treadmill, and 3k on the bike!

And I only fell off the treadmill once!!!

And I broke my watch.

And I set the alarm off on Vickis new car before 7am this morning, couldn't turn the bleddy thing off and woke the entire street up!

And yes! I did indeed bring 2 left footed boots to work lol! So I'm bare foot today!

But I LOVED the gym!!! Even more than the swimming!!!

And at last I know where your tattoo is sis!!! ;)

Back to work then ...

Evening ladies!

Well wi was a bit pants cos I managed to gain half a pound! Having said that, I'm expecting to gain more than that next week when I'm in sunny Bournemouth! We'll be having breakfast at the hotel but all our other meals will be out so goodness knows what we'll be having! Hopefully fish and chips one night! And a curry another!

I have had some rather nice SW news actually. I got an email from my consultant saying that I was my groups Biggest Loser for last year and that she'd entered me into a competition! I had to to fill out a form on the SW website and send some photos with it. I actually haven't got a cat in hells chance of going any further...even my consultant said that tonight when she told everyone! There are people who've lost double what I have. And they only want 10 people! But it was a lovely honour and I'm actually really proud of myself!

And this morning at the gym was just amazing! I can't believe how much I enjoyed it! Thanks for showing me around Sarah and working the machines for me! I did much better than I ever thought I could, especially on the running, and I can't wait to get back there. Have to admit to being a bit achy now mind you!

Anyway, must go and make a coffee now for Gwyn as he's just got back from table tennis.

And then I think I'll sort a matching pair of boots out for work tomorrow...:rolleyes:
 
Yay. Well done Dawn. I don't care that you might not win - in my mind you are a winner anyway.

Delighted for you. Well done on the gym session. Looking forward to chatting again/meeting up soon ?

Gail xxx

P.S. my first post here in about 2 months - you are honoured !!! Apologies for my absence :(
