Dinkie Dawnies Dubious Diary of Downsizing, Deflation, and Debauchery

[Pommette]

I do flans/quiches WITHOUT the pastry. In fact did a cheese and onion flan with HEXA & B's (reduced fat cheese, semi-milk & onion)

So do I normally Steve but to make these without pastry is a bit tricky!
They're little meses and all they are is cheese wrapped in filo!

I'm so so sorry to here of your loss Dawn! Am thinking of you and your family :hug99:

Good Luck tonight xxx

Sorry to hear about your uncle Dawn.

My D has lately been told that her FIL has bladder cancer after all. So it's a bit of a shock after all the tests he had and then was told he was clear only to now find out differently!

However, hope your WI is a good one....

I'm so sorry Dawn. If you need or want to cry then do so. I think it's one of the bodies ways of coping and if we try and bottle it up we end up making ourselves ill.

Sorry about your Uncle Bestie, must bring up aweful memories. But as a bona fide expert on crying, it really does cleanse the soul maybe not straight away but eventually. x

 

[fillymum]

and another resounding aye from me !!!!

 

[fillymum]

Thinking of you Dawn

 

[Pommette]

Aye from me too.

Off now for 3 days Dawn to our apartment - no internet there so I won;t be around. Hope you are okay chica and speak again soon.

((( hugs )))

 

[gl12282]

Aye !

Poor you Dawn but please cry away. That's what we are all here for. You do so much for so many of us that it's the least we can do. You must look after yourself first and foremost so if you need to cry here then cry away. Then joint second Gwyn and Suki who will keep you going. You have a great bunch of friends here too who have posted some fantastic comments.

You know where I am if you need to talk - anytime of the day or night (work permitting). I will try and ring at the weekend if you're up to it.

Huge massive hugs for you - please ask Gwyn or Suki to oblige for me.

Evening everyone,

Sorry about the miserable moan earlier guys. You know when suddenly something just hits you for absolutely no reason...it just happened this morning. One minute I was getting up to go to work...and then the next I was sitting on the loo crying! Anyway, as many of you have said, it probably did me good and I've been fine all day.

You have all written some lovely heartfelt comments here, and words don't seem enough to thank you properly. I'm very very grateful to you for your friendship, for being there, and for understanding xx.

Today at work, in the middle of a totally shi**y day, I met Jim of Troy for coffee. That lovely lady has a habit of making herself available to you just when you need her So we chatted, and came to the conclusion that we have both made some REAL friends here xxx Despite the fact that some bu**er seems to have started a dress campaign on my thread, and infiltrated me with spinach!

Anyway, times getting on, so here's my wi news...

I lost 2.5lbs!!!

So I weigh 10st 11.5lbs!

I'm officially in the 10's !!!

Pleased doesn't come anywhere near to saying how I feel. It's just wonderful! I have 3lbs to go for my 5st shiny, and today I set an interim target of 10st 7lbs so 4.5lbs to shed to reach that. Then I shall just see how I feel ... might try for a bit more, or just see if I can maintain for a week or two.

Either way, I'm so totally thrilled about it all, and I'd NEVER have got this far without your help xxx

So thankyou all loads and loads!

Lots of love xxx

 

[gl12282]

I am SOOOOOOOO DELIGHTED FOR YOU. You, Dawn are in the 10's. Whoever thought (well, maybe me and a whole load of others !!) you'd be here now after everything. You are totally AMAZING and a complete and utter inspiration to everyone here.

I also can't express in words just how happy for you. I shall sleep with a big smile on my face

Big hugs.

Gail xxxxxx

 

[shenzi]
