From here to Eternally Slim

Have a nice trip to the cinema Rosie, and happy wedding anniversary! I love potato farls. You can get Paul Rankin ones over here and they are really nice, I love his soda bread too. When I used to work with adults with learning disabilities we used to have a theme night once a week where we would choose a country and cook a meal from that country, and I had Irish night and did a beef and guinness stew, and made my own soda bread with the residents. It would have been heavenly if it werent for the fact that the afternoon I was due to cook it I started to get symptoms of a kidney infection and felt like my lower back was completely in a painful spasm. Had to cook the whole thing sitting down, or propped against the kitchen units. Still, the residents enjoyed it! Dont think I ever really appreciated a course of antibiotics more!

Hope you have a lovely day :)
 
Kidney infections are definitely no fun!

Happy Anniversary :) Hope you enjoy your day
 
I'm so restless this evening. And it's cloudy for the second night in a row :'(
 
This calls for a stealth raid on the lab. Don your invisibility cloak, head in there and dont stop looking until you find the springythingys you need!
 
No need for stealth, i have 24 hour access. If someone sees you then they'll think you're dedicated to work :p

Maybe i should just build a huge fan and blow the clouds away!
 
Thats doable. There was some particularly splendid clouds up in the Highlands, perhaps you should go there and practice. It must be easier when you are virtually standing in them.
 
Good morning all!!

Another exciting day of housework ahead! Which is PRECISELY why I am sat here and not doing it. I do need to go and make a start on hubbys explosive curry though, it needs cooking today for eating tomorrow. This calls for coffee first, I think.

I wont be having explosive curry, on the basis that it isnt fish, so I am going to do me and my mother salmon parcels like I had the other night. She doesnt do hot spicy so it will be better for her too.

Two more days till I return to group for first post holiday WI. Will I be able to make enough of a loss to get my 2 1/2 stone sticker? Who knows?
 
Afternoon everyone!!!

Im not up to much this weekend, taking OH to the station at 3:00 to go to the football. Im really annoyed!! I have been trying to save some pennies for when me and OH finally move out. I left the house this morning and my speedo broke on my car - it's going to cost me £200 to repair!!! :(

Im going to cook a paella for dinner tonight, NOM!! I hope it turns out ok as im really looking forward to it!!

Hope your all having a good weekend!!! xxx
 
Afternoon all :)

Been to watch this football this afternoon so far, and going to go for a jog when my lunch has gone down (and i feel a bit more awake)

Feel another restless day coming on. I'm even tempted to do some work, bizarre!

Sorry about the speedo Pesty :(
 
Afternoon everyone! Pesty sorry about your car, when something goes wrong I always find its something thats dead expensive :-(. Im looking forward to going out for a meal tonight but had a diaster last night, i still dont know why I cant stick to SW. I mean its so easy and you can eat so much yet I had to have 6 fairy cakes that my sister had made me then a whole bar of caramel and I dont mean a little bar. Is that my weekly syns been and gone lol?? One of these days its going to bit me in the bum and Im going to think why did I do it? Do i draw a line under friday and tonight (italian and highly calorific) and forget about it or do i cut down to 5 syns a day till weds? Grrr i must be the worst on minimins!!! x
 
hi guys went to watch knight and day at cineme what a dissapointment, but never mind. Am cooking the chicken jambalaya but substituing quorn sausages for some synned chorizo (oh wont have quorn) so fingers crossed it goes well lol
 
Thanks everyone for the good wishes

The film was fab - we saw the A-Team - it was so good - and I wasn't sure that I wanted to watch it due to loving the old series - but it really was great and if they bring out another one I will def watch it.

Ronnie - why was knight and day a disappointment - we'd debated about going to watch it instead and am just wondering whether it's worth it booking a babysitter for another time to go and watch it if it's going to be rubbish?

Emma - I hope you manage to get back on track again hun - if I were you I would limit myself to maybe 8 syns a day until next WI

I didn't end up getting a salad - I went for the chicken gojons - they were served with lettuce, colslaw, honey and mustard dip (which was horrid - not a fan of either really so I didn't like it) we had a bowl of chips between us - was lovely but felt it was a bit greasy for me - not that it was swimming in fat or anything but I'm now that used to frylight and none greasy stuff that I could really taste it.
I did have one chicken wing from OH's starter - and a spoon of millionaries cheesecake - so glad I didn't get one for myself as I would have devoured the lot - it was delicous!

Anyway we're now settling down to watch a DVD so that's me for the night :)

Hope you guys have a great night and a good day tomorrow :)
 
hi rosipeace, i usually love both Tom Cruise and Cameron DIaz and the only funny bits were the bits shown in the trailer, it just felt a bit boring. if i had been watching it at home with other half i would have had my book out reading lol. but diff people like different films its just my opinion hon but honestly if you want to go to a film and book a babysitter go see the sorceres apprentice, saw that on wednesday (i love my films) and it was fab
 
Hey everyone!!!

Glad to hear you had a good time Rosie!! My OH really wants to see the A team but we both hate the cinema (i need a wee every 5 mins and miss most of the film!!) so we'll wait until it comes out on DVD!!!

Emma, you can do it hun!! To me it sort of seems like you've convinced yourself you cant do it, and sometimes that gives your subconsious an excuse to give up. You need to believe in yourself - 'i CAN do it' actually goes a long way when presented with a challenge!

Hey Ronnie, sorry to hear your film was a disapointment - it looks so good on the trailers!!! I too love my films, all on dvd though!! My latest favourite is paranormal activity - its so freaky!!!

Zombie - hope yesterday was ok for you in the end!!

After your talk the other day about how great exercise had made you feel i went to the gym!! I did 20 minutes running machine (yes, i actually ran!!!) 10 minutes cross trainer, 10 minutes rowing machine, 10 minutes cycling i then spent a little while on the muscle machines but its not really my thing.

I felt AMAZING afterwards!!! I know SW isnt about calories but i burnt nearly 400!!! My groin aches today haha but it doesnt take away from how amazing i feel, if only i could afford a membership :rolleyes:

Trying to stay on track today - sunday is my worst day of the week for having a binge!!!

Hope your all doing well!! xxxx
 
morning all, well been for a quick walk and back into town 2miles, and done the garden, now feel not guilty about sitting on bum and playing pc all day lol
 
What do you play on the PC ronnie? :)

I've got some packing and sorting to, so hoping that burns a decent amount of calories :D
 
Hhehe Pesty i know what you mean. My jogging makes me tired whilst doing it, but i actually look forward too doing it :) And i do think my mood is better after i've done some :) Plus being on calorie counting, the more i exercise the more i can eat (technically ;) )

Glad you enjoyed :) My knees twinging today, i just hope it's not going to get agony again. Don't want any more break from the jogging! /touch wood!
 
Starbucks coffee.... goodness i love it! The bf went all the way to get Subway and Starbucks, just because i fancied it... he makes my insides over-mushy at times! <3
