Help needed for 1st day......

[xmisskx]

there's probably one in bigger places like edinburgh/glasgow etc...just haven't seen any in the places we'd usually go to eat or the local shopping centre etc

opted for a roast chicken mugshot until dinner...not ideal (again) lol but i didn't want to cook then cook again in an hour seeing as i'm doing 3 different dinners!

my little one is going to his friend's tomorrow for his 1st sleepover... he's so excited (bless him) i'm sure he'll have a ball but i'll need to make sure i'm on standby for collection if he announces at night that he wants to come home!

it's good practice for the school camp thing they have for a couple of days in march and although he's used to staying away, it's only with family (ie his dad and his gran etc)
i always cried to come home when i was little...hope he's NOT like that - for his sake x

 

[sparty]

Awe bless your little one! He will love having a sleep over pack him some midnight snacks to take with him lol. I used to be a nightmare staying over other peoples houses - still prefer to be in my own bed now to be honest...unless we are too far away from home.

I've had my SW chilli now and a bowl of salad to go with it. Spent some syns on ice cream as bf bought me a massive tub the other day. It's 12 syns for 100g and I really enjoyed it. Still 3 left so may have an alpen light with a nice cuppa once I have finished faffing around changing my bed sheets and sorting out washing

My New Years resolution is to keep more on top of my house work etc so I don't have to spend one whole day doing it at the weekend lol. So far so good do you do resolutions?! I only ever stick to mine for a month or two lol.

 

[xmisskx]

i don't really do resolutions...every year i say i'm gonna try and swear less...but so far down the line, i'm like f*k this..(haaa see what i did there...hangs head in shame lol)

i'd been thinking that i should introduce more routine into cleaning etc too...want to decorate but that'll depend on time and money but no major ones...to continue eating better i suppose being the main one and to stop wasting energy on people who don't deserve it.
could be doing with some new pals....but that's a whole different ball game...not easy to find decent people when i'm not really anywhere other than work, here or football/swimming lessons etc...

oooh what type of ice cream?? i love it but NEVER buy it cos it's so easy to go OTT. i fancied apple pie and ice cream last week but asda's freezers were bare so we bought choc ices and had it with those....blast from the past - hadn't had one in years, or the apple pie - god it was good!

i saw a peanut butter one which i was drooling over...not sure i'll be trying that anytime soon!

feeling peckish again, had my goodies and have 5 syns i could use but don't want to...it's taking me all i have not to dive into the pile of selection boxes there are....must not cave!x

 

[sparty]

Hahaha. Yeah feck that tee hee

It was choc ice cream. I'm such a chocolate addict lol. Was worth it though. Today syns are gonna be 6 for lunch (going for a prawn and tomato pasta dish so 6 for oil in the pasta and cooking) and not sure what else yet. I'm getting myself ready at the moment and will chop up some mango once I'm nearly ready to go!!

New friends are a good idea. I've felt like that belfry when my friends have all been too wrapped up in themselves. The thing that winds me up is whenever there is a problem, they come straight to me but when I try and organise a girls night in or something they are all too busy. Shame really and I go through phases of just not really contacting them much. But it all works out in the end I suppose. I take it you never heard from your friend on your bday??

School is great for making friends isn't it?! Lots of other mums and dads to talk to in the playground lol

 

[xmisskx]

to be honest, i stay well clear from the school playground other than speak to his close friends as it's all very cliquey and too many brown nose mum's trying to get in there with the head teacher etc...they're worse than children and it makes me wish his primary years away
i take nothing to do with anything other than what he might be involved in....if you're not in the clique or wanting to spend all your free time decorating signs for school fayres etc then you're not "in" and really, my focus is on him and working around school times so that he doesn't need to bring himself up or be in childcare for hours each week and that's about it!

when he was born i signed an unofficial contract to take a backseat until he no longer wants me there if you get what i mean?

had a hellish sleep last night...was hungry and tossed and turned, read threads on here for ages, got up, went back to bed and was still stressing before 5am but with a headache! so i'm not feeling the freshest lol, and he's been planning when he should go for his shower and get his bag ready since about 9am...wee soul lol

glad you enjoyed your ice cream...i'd never pick chocolate ice cream but my OH would, every time

hope you have a great day today..i need to nip out to pay some bills and get to the post office if everywhere is open (today can still be a holiday for places here) but really need to get back into some sort of routine leading up to the return of school/work next week x

 

[sparty]

Hey. Hope you are sleeping a bit better now hun. I've woken up today with a massive sniffle - typical when I'm back to work on Monday eh!? Hopefully a couple of good sleeps will kick it into touch!

I bought myself an SLR camera today using my butchers money. So so pleased that I used the money for something I have wanted for ages since I will never have that money 'spare' again. Also my parents have paid for me to do a beginners course so I can learn how to use it properly will be great once I can use it properly!!

Food has been mostly on plan but a little bit of guess work with syns. Bit bad really and I can't wait to be back at work and into a routine again!
How's things with you?!

 

[xmisskx]

aww that's good that you got something....sure you could've probably used the money for something else but it's a nice treat and you worked for it!

when will your course start??

been ok today thanks...bit of a headache this morning but ok now, been another on plan day...5th one - i'm getting good at this hehe

made creamy quorn and veg pasta using philly light for my HE and it was yummy...not had it for ages!

just gonna spend a wee bit catching up on here then head for my funsize crunchie...a bit later than normal for goodies but my pal was in and although i could've had them when she was here...i like to savour them

other than a sniffle...you doing ok? hope you feel better for monday...bloody typical right enough x

 

[sparty]

Other than sniffles Im feeling good. I've been careful that anything I eat at home is SW friendly and mostly syn free and already feel a little less bloated. I'm also trying harder to drink more water.

I got bought a massage for Xmas and having that in the morning so really looking forward to getting my back sorted out as it's been killing me for ages. Then it's a day of house work getting everything spick and span before going back to work.

My course is on 4th feb and my friend is coming with me too as he got a camera for Xmas. It's a four hour beginners workshop and I can't wait!!

Have you anything nice on this weekend!?

 

[xmisskx]

meant to ask about your food at zizzi...did you have a nice time?

4th feb will be here before you know it and nice to do something a bit different eh.

no plans for this weekend...things have been a bit off with my and my OH...but i think it's just me getting p'd off for things that prob don't need to get me like that. i've been really quiet with him and going to bed at different times - not sure what's up with me :-/
least i'm honest lol x

 

[sparty]

Me and bf go through those phases too - mostly when I am hormonal but obviously it's ALWAYS his fault lol. Try not to worry too much about it - it will all blow over. Maybe try and spend some time together this weekend to clear the air?

Food was really good - we didn't have starter or pudding and I did stick to my planned meal but I had a little bit of garlic bread to mop up the sauce. I reckon 10 syns max for the lot which isn't bad for a meal out in my opinion.

Nothing planned now til very end of the month so no reason why I can't be 100%!

 

[xmisskx]

ooh you were good!!

i realised i hadn't had my 2nd HEb today and was feeling hungry even after my wee goodies so i tried the choconana sandwich which miss nix had posted the other day - its eggy bread with a tsp of nutella, sliced banana then sandwiched together and put back in the frying pan for a bit...it felt so naughty for a HEb + 2 syns but super hard not to ladle the nutella into my mouth lol

not sure i'd have it for breakfast but it was nice to try and i'd been drooling over it since she posted the pics!x

 

[sparty]

Ohh sounds very naughty! Nice to have something like that for a change isn't it!? bit like me with my ice cream lol.

Sniffles are worse today and I have had hardly any sleep. Looking forward to a massage and then sleeping on the sofa all day (the cleaning can wait!!!) feel a bit sorry for the person doing my massage though lol. I'll be sneezing all the way through it!

I've had some toast for breakfast and will have some soup for lunch I think. You are supposed to feed a cold I think!? Anyway I have some soup in the freezer I can defrost and I think I'll do mac and cheese tonight so green for me today.

What's your plan food wise?

 

[xmisskx]

aww poor you...hopefully the worst part will be gone for monday

think it'll be EE for me today...still haven't cooked that beef joint i got so i think i'll need to do that today. if i do, we'll prob have roast beef dinner

enjoy your massage and you make the most of a lazy day....i agree that the cleaning can def wait x

 

[sparty]

God yesterday ended up being awful. Hopefully that's the worst of the cold though as I do feel mildly better today. Gonna chill out most of the day and have an early night ready for tomorrow being back at work.

Need to get something to eat but I can't be bothered to get up and bf is asleep on the sofa as he was up all night watching tv lol. We are not prepared to rejoin the real world at all!!!

How are things with you?

 

[sparty]

Morning hun. Feeling a tiny bit better today but my throat is really really sore. Managed to get myself out of bed and on the train to work so hopefully I can last out the day.

Food today is back on plan so fruit and yoghurt for breakfast, soup for lunch with some crisps and more fruit then not sure about dinner. Bf is at home today so I'll have a think and get him to get something out the freezer later on!

Are you back at work now?

 

[xmisskx]

morning mrs

sorry i didn't reply yesterday..i was on but only just saw it this morning??!

anyway...what a shame you had a rough time but glad to hear you're a teeny wee bit better today...imagine having to start back feeling REALLY lousy eh...nothing worse

yep, monday morning routines are well under way, currently trying to get teeny to brush his teeth and get dressed while my pots are boiling away for the introduction of mass cooking starts again lol

gonna nick to tesco shortly for WI so will see how that goes!

might make some quorn chilli today too which would do dinner today, lunch tomorrow and some for the freezer

hope your 1st day back goes ok toots x

 

[sparty]

Well it could have been worse - i would have been really annoyed if i had been ill for the whole time and only got better before going back to work haha! I am managing ok at the moment with the sneezing and sniffing - today it is mostly my throat that is hurting but I will live!

So far so good, eaten all of my brekkie and lunch on plan so just need to make up my mind what to have for dinner. I am thinking either Mac n Cheese or quorn burgers and SW chips. Will be happy with either of those tbh. Got some bacon in the fridge too so might add that to the mac n cheese for some extra flavour.

You cooking up the usual storm then? Dahl loaf and quiche?

 

[xmisskx]

You're right lol...hadn't thought about it the other way...I'd be p'd if I was Ill over Xmas and ok for work lol

Yep, cooked a load today: quiche, Dahl loaf, rice pudding, quorn chilli, scan bran cake, boiled eggs and soup...sorted!

Dinner will be the chilli, same for lunch tomorrow (maybe even dinner tomorrow too?) but it's packed with super free so always a bonus

4lbs off this morning - I've started a new column in my book from class and recorded it as they would...still feeling slightly uneasy at not going tonight but will see how I get on

Currently waiting on teeny at football...this is usually when I'm racing to get to and from class so I'm spending my time trawling through here! Productive eh!

How was today then...apart from still feeling a bit bleurgh?x

So you have decided to go it alone then!? Didn't realise you had made up your mind and a 4lb loss is a great start hun - well done

No idea what I'm doing for dinner as haven't spoken to bf today. Quite fancy some mac n cheese but guess I will have to see what he wants to have *sigh*. Will def be more organised tomorrow!!

Today hadn't been too bad - I'm a little sniffly this afternoon but nothing I can't cope with. Thank god I had my bad days already! Early or bed tonight and I'll be right as rain I think.

What you gonna do with your evening now you have the time free?!

 

[xmisskx]

Can you go green and gain a HE? If you missed out the bacon? (And depending on what you had earlier?)

I've not been at class since 2nd dec and I'm still to-ing and fro-ing a bit and feeling really uneasy lol but I've decided to WI at tesco on a Monday morning for 50p and see how I get on...couldn't stay at class anyway so other than the online access and hifi bars, I wasn't getting anything else and my main support has been here!

I think I'll see how I go this month/feb but will def rejoin if I'm struggling

As for the extra time...it's just back to how it was before...me hanging about til football is done...it's pointless travelling home to head back again

It'll only be for 10weeks cos he stops after that so I would be able to go to a class properly then

Basmati rice is on for my chilli then I'm heading for a shower and to wash my hair/get work stuff sorted x
