Hello stranger ! :8855:
Lovely to have you back chica and in full flow again by the sound of it! And only ½lb over range after 4 weeks off plan!
Well done girl - just proves that SW is ingrained. And yes, I'll be still talking syns when I'm clicking my knitting needles - provided I learn how to knit! :8855:
Thanks for visiting my fred! I'll answer you q's there. But in short, Pommers and me are fine. Both full of snivels though!
Since we came to Spain we have both developed hay fever with a vengeance. In the UK the oil seed rape was the only thing that bothered us.
And that only hit us the 2 years before we decamped to Spain when they started growing it round our house.
Here it's the bloomin' orange and olive blossom.
And as our house is in "el campo" (the countryside) surrounded by lots of the bleddy things it's a nightmare.
We snivel and sneeze our way through May and June and then we are fine for the rest of the year.
Even though you get 2 orange crops, the autumn blossom doesn't affect us! Weird.
Glad to hear that you mum is still "hen-pecking". That has to be a good sign, even though it's your poor dad on the receiving end of it.

Never gets tired of SW!
Thanks lovely ladies!! Mum had more chemo on Tues and a CT scan on Wed so waiting for results on that! They prob won't do anything different than current treatment plan but it'll be interesting to see extent of disease and where we're at! Shes exhausted but EXTREMELY bad at allowing herself to rest-she's such an on the go type she feels guilty for stopping and lying about but my Dad and I keep telling her she HAS TO!! I'm so glad I bought her a Kindle as she's reading lots!
On the weight loss front I've been more or less on plan but had a very carby weekend including Chinese last nite but I did go for the lower syn choices but I don't trust how much oil they add! And I feel bloaty because *week is on the horizon! A 1lb loss would be the bees knees but I doubt it!!
I went to my first ever zumba class this morning! It was great fun but my bunions are throbbing! Felt good to be doing something so energetic and knowing I was burning the calories, somewhat undone by a Crunchie on the way home lol!
Hope you ladies have all had a good week! I'm so bad at posting at the moment- I'm sure ill buck my ideas up soon! XXX

Bless mum she is bound to be exhausted chemo is totally draining bless her
Fingers crossed for some good news come the results of the scan etc
Love Kindles I'm on my second one now as I had a bog standard one
at the start but wanted a better model
You'll have to get mum to download 50 shades of grey that'll put some
colour in her cheeks ....
((huggles Hev))

Hi ladies and thanks for your general loveliness and concern!!
Mum coping with it all well but STILL refuses to rest when her body tells her to! Sometimes she has no choice and then gives in to it but she keeps on going like a trojan! I hope this fighting spirit stands her in good stead rather than having a burning out effect!!
Ha I already have 50 Shades on my Kindle which I've read (all 3 in 2 weeks...*also giggles*) and omitted to transfer them to Mum's...don't want her getting cardiac problems on top of her current ones lol!!!
Bev re Kindle reservations- when I first heard about them I said there was NO WAY I would ever even consider one! I was a right one for my books- loved the smell, the feel, turning the crisp pages, etc etc etc... But then one of the girls in work showed me hers one night shift and I was so impressed I started coming around to the idea! Then Dai bought me one for my Birthday last March and we're completely inseparable (myself and Kindle, not myself and hubby heheee!) I've always been an avid reader but I'm reading more than ever now! It's compact, clean, portable, no dog eared pages to worry about, no bulk/extra weight when travelling, a choice of books in one place, ease of turning pages in bed, instant word definition by simply moving cursor onto word, instant download of books within seconds rather than waiting for one to arrive in the post or having to go to a shop to buy the desired title (perfect for impulsive beings like myself)! Quite simply I LOVE IT! And now I'm really stubborn and won't even consider reading a paperback!! Sooooo old fashioned lol!
How are you Claire? XXX

Ooh Florida yes of course! Glad you enjoyed it! And glad you've decided to book again! It's good to have things to look forward to, especially when you know the place and how much you've already enjoyed it! XXX
