Well girls I've got an hour to go until we need to be there.. Do I shower, do hair etc and hope I feel better or stay in?! X
 
Perhaps have a shower and get ready hopefully by then it would have passed xx

Loving the Liz Earle, got a few spots this week but guessing its because my skin is getting used to the new products, need to order some more as only got the little bottles. Skin feels smoother. Which products have you got? X

Just the basics Cleanse and polish, tonic and superskin moisturiser dry skin and the eye serum... My skin had a few break outs, but now it is looking tons better, even Kev has commented... xx

Hi Helen
Hope you felt well enough to go out and enjoyed your evening x
 
I went last night, thankfully "you know what" had stopped (although I'm not great this morning!), had a really good evening with good friends but disappointed with the food, I think I'd built it up all week that I had to be good for this that the food was just.. Alright! Mark said I cook better!

I started with sardines, I thought maybe they would be fried in oil but I thought no worries I can syn that but they came up in like a batter, like what the calamari was in.. The reason I chose not to have calamari! I had penne arriabatta for main, so boring, it was really plain, I said I thought it was suppose to have chilli in it but they said there was, I could not taste it at all so I asked if they had any chilli flakes I could sprinkle and they gave me chilli oil! I feel it was such a waste of syns but I suppose if it had too much of a kick to it it might have made my tummy worse.

Oh well tomorrow is weigh in so we'll have to see how I've done, avoided the garlic bread and alcohol so don't think I would have done badly. Am at my cousins house tomorrow during the day so not sure what I'll be eating before weigh-in, almost tempted to say I'll bring lunch for us with me as she's got a new baby but not sure what I've got time to make to take with me x

That's good if Kev has noticed too, I should really use eye cream as I'm starting to get wrinkles.. Or laughter lines! X
 
Something's really not agreeing with my tummy, it feels so fragile, had some berries with breakfast but only a handful to get in some superfree, feeling really yucky and wanted to be sick eating breakfast, only managed half a bowl.. Not like me to not eat food!

Lunch: tuna & sweetcorn sandwich (HEB + 0.5 el mayo)

Hi
Hope you feeling better ? Did you go to wi? Hope it went well
Just popping in to say won't be around this weekend got to much parrtying to be done ha ha
Take care and have a good weekend I'll be back in the week to see how you're doing xx
 
Had a great day yesterday meeting my cousins gorgeous new baby, went to weigh in where I lost 2 1/2lb which I'm really pleased about, got home and started to feel really cold and shivery, during the night though suddenly bang I get a cold.. Mark says its the flu but I don't know the difference!

My whole body aches, got a pounding headache, dry cough but no runny nose or anything, one minute freezing and can't warm up at all and then next boiling hot. Don't feel hungry at all, Mark got me to eat some chicken soup but didn't even want to eat that. Finally got out of bed but all I want to do is sleep so just laid up on the sofa now.

Have taken day & night nurse which seem to be working but missed out on country walk and pub lunch with friends followed by panto and dinner tonight with other friends, gutted as haven't seen one of my friends for over a year as he's been in NZ, praying if I just lay up I'll get over it quicker.

Sorry I've not been on any diaries but have had zilch energy but have been thinking about you and hope you're all well x
 
Well done on your loss Helen! Not read properly yet just skimmed but will do later xx
 
Well done on your loss!!! Brilliant :)

I agree it sounds like flu. Nothing you can do but rest up, drink fluids and rest a bit more. Oh and paracetamol too x

Hope you feel better in the morning xxx

Still feeling rough, haven't made it to the sofa yet today, still in bed, freezing cold and then boiling hot, am drinking lots of squash but the only thing I've eaten since Thursday is yesterday's chicken soup, Mark said I need to try eating to boost my energy I just really don't feel like anything.

Have had to cancel tonight's plans as well, get a weekend off and spend it in bed!

Am using all my syns on cough medicine, have got sugar free but not sure how many syns it is, standard cough medicine is 1 1/2 syns per tsp, I take 10ml 4x a day so that's 12 syns a day but it might be less for the sugar free.
 
Don't stress about syns - just concentrate on getting better!

What about adding some noodles or pasta to your chicken soup? You need to get more food down you. I always crave carbs when ill. How about some mash?

Anyway, feel better soon x
