Hi

[zilla]

Hoovering done. Mopping done. Ironing done. Washing in machine. Pots washed dried and put away. Bins emptied. Dusting done. Bedding changed (mine anyway don't dare venture into the black hole - son's room lol) Phoned mum to check she has sweeteners and low cal pop for tonight, she has, sorted. Phew thought I deserved a couple of mins on here, posted on a couple of threads then thought I'd pop on our thread and see if you were here but :cry:you're not. Nevermind see you later, going now to empty washer, shave legs, shave arms etc etc etc.

Am well stuffed Chips cheese bacon and eggs went down a treat just finished. Had it earlier than usual for two reasons 1, was too busy with all the housework that I haven't eaten all day. 2, got to go out in around 30 minutes to parents.

I thought you might be on, oh well I hope you are having a great day love and I will be back on when I get home.

Take care see you later.

Hi hun :thankyou: glad you had a good sleep and a pleasant day as for the green tea I sometimes have it for my morning brew or a lemon / ginger with sweetener its not bad really need get into having them EVERY morning lol.

I had so many plans today but didn't get to execute any of them was meant to go shopping, get some cleaning done so there was less to do at weekend, do some laundry and prepare some meals but oh no! !

I found a lump back in July so I had an appointment at the breast clinic this morning, thought I'd be done by about 11 / 12pm but half bloody 4 I finally got out after 3 consultations, a mammogram and ultrasound but I have to admit I met some great ladies and the staff were wonderful they really put me at ease I don't think people realise I don't have time to be ill grrrr.

Just about to go and have something to eat - my first food of the day didn't feel like eating this morning - will be back on in a couple of hours mwah x x x x

 

[zilla]

Just got back from family time. OMG did they say what the lump was? I hope you are going to be okay! No wonder you weren't on here all day. :bighug: You can never have too many hugs.

Family time was excellant and yes my son did say I looked good although he told me to be careful and 1-make sure I eat enough and 2-not try and loose it too quickly then 3-not too loose too much. Bless him I gave him a nice looooong hug. Never know when I will see him (long story) so when I do I always give him a huge hug and tell him I love him. Am now sat in bed with a coffee catching up on here and looking at my subscriptions list I will be on for a while. lol. WI tonight 5 30pm and feel nervous even though I have stuck to it 100% I hope I can follow you Sammie with a loss. Time will tell.

Doing all that housework today was well worth it, because it was lovely to walk in tonight and it was all sparkling plus I now have all day tomorrow and friday with nothing to do. Ahhhhhh wonderful.

My dad agrees with you that I will end up looking like chips and bacon soon, so I am going to go a whole week without having it. Am going to plan 2 weeks meals tomorrow, I must start using the contents of the freezers and cupboards as I have a really bad habit of stocking them up and then not using the stuff I have in and buying more. Tonight when I get home from WI I am going to have liver with bacon and onion gravy and jackets and cheese. Mmmmmmm not had liver for a while. Am going to make a list of the freezers and use that to plan my meals. Then I can have fun stocking them up again. :8855:

Am feeling a bit tired tonight, it's been a long day and I have worked hard cleaning. Hope you are okay and that the lump thingy gets sorted out soon and that all is okay. What with that and your poorly finger you need putting in a bag and shaking up as my mother used to say:hug99:.

XXXXXXXX

 

[Sammie G]

Soooo glad you had lovely:family2: time and that your son noticed its amazing what are kids pay attention to when we don't think they do.

I sat Thaila down tonight and told her about the lump only because I think she'll notice I've only got half a boob ha ha - I shouldn't laugh - and she said I knew there was something wrong with you' then I got a lecture off my 17yr old daughter on not keeping things to myself and how she's here to support me with whatever and how she thought we were best friends and if we were why didn't I tell her WTH ? ?

Ohh I've not had liver & onions since I left home I tend to use liver to make my pate with but I think that maybe coming onto my meal plan. I Had SW Cauliflower & Cheese Bake tonight it was so quick and easy to make and only 2.5 syns on EE, Red & Green got some for my lunch tomorrow

You will do fab tomorrow I told you we're on a roll now girl :8855:

I think I'm going to have an early one tonight really wiped out its been a really long day :zz:

:banana dancer: I love this one too lol x x x

 

[zilla]

Morning love.

Please keep me up to date with "the lump". Just remember that I am always here for you. My shoulders can carry you if you need them too for a while whilst you are dealing with this issue. Your daughter has a point Stephen (my baby) goes mad if I keep things from him (you'd think we were married) and when I say I keep things from him so he doesn't worry I get a right mouthful about being there for each other no matter what it is and that a problem shared is a problem halved. Our children sound so much more sensible than we do. :8855:

The liver on the menu tonight is from Tesco and it is from the chilled section it comes in the onion gravy and has three pieces of bacon over the top you simply put it in the oven. It really is nice and works out at 3 syns for the whole pack (I have the whole pack ) on the red or extra easy day. Well worth using the syns on and very filling.

It's only 8am and I am bored already not going to WI until 5 30pm. The housework is all done and I hate just sitting around so have decided to go to Bury for the day, have not been there for years. Don't need anything but will happily people watch for a few hours and window shop for clothes ideas for when have lost some more weight. Am not and never have been into fashion mainly due to always being a ten tonne heifer, so imagining what I will wear when I loose the weight is I must admit a little daunting.

My god I can waffle when I get going, my fingers just seem to attack the keyboard, wonder how many calories I can burn typing before tonight :8855::8855::8855:if only.

You didn't say whether you have watched HK yet, have you??

* week seems to be stopping now thank goodness as really didn't want it to be still here when I go out on fri night.

Are you back in work today? If not what are you doing with yourself for the day?

Is your daughter at college or does she work.

Well that's your fix for the time being as I need to have a pee and wash my hair before going out.

Take care love.

:bliss:I lost 5.5 lbs. Got my 2.5st award and feel wonderful.

I hope you are okay today sammie and coping well with the things you have going on in your life at the moment. Thought you might have been on at some point today, but you must have other things to do. I ended up at asda in Farnworth and stocked up with the coconut mullers, still 30p. Bargain. Bought 20. :8855: They also had the alpen lights 2 boxes for £2 so got a few of them as well. The liver is cooking as I type and it smells so good, I am starving.

 

[Sammie G]

ARGGGHHHHHHHH <<<<< happy scream) WELL DONE :flowers:sweetie I am so so so so so proud of you I bet you're bouncing off the walls

Been meaning to come on all day but was mad busy at work :character00148::character00148::character00148::character00148:good thing I suppose kept my mind occupied and when I got home I tackled the housework as Thaila was at her boyfriends for her dinner so thought I'd do it while she wasn't under my feet hee hee :8855:

I did watch HK I thought I said sorry my bad 'Natalie' is the one that got booted off this week glad Elise got caught out with her lies FINALLY now maybe Gordon will keep a closer eye on her and her antics.

I think I will be nipping into Asda I'm down to my last 4 bars of Alpen Lights

You're so good to me you're like my mum, sister and best friend all rolled into 1 :family2::hug99:

:talk017::talk017: x x x

Morning love I was going to come back on last night after stuffing my face with the liver-it was amazing. I wonder if loosing weight can help you sleep because I used to have huge problems sleeping at nights that's why I started doing nights but last night and a few nights last week when I was off I was asleep before 11pm then awake like this morning at 7 30am. Feeling alive and ready to face the world Oh Samie I feel wonderful. When I went out yesterday I caught my reflection in a huge shop window and found myself thinking oh girl you are looking better. I couldn't stop smiling on the bus home from WI last night. I think the rest off the passengers thought I had escaped from somewhere Oh hang on phone ringing...

 

[zilla]

Hi it's me, back again. Where was I? Oh yeah grinning like a cheshire cat on the bus :8855::8855:. I think my consultant was expecting me to have gained due to not going last week but she was so happy for me and the group couldn't believe my chips cheese and bacon week. :8855::8855::8855:Not forgetting the danger yoghurt, again :8855:. I am nearly half way there now and now I feel mentally ready it is a truly wonderful place to be. Now I KNOW it is really happening and look forward to the end result.

Another friend of mine has to undergo a "procedure" this afternoon, and if they find anything they are going to try and remove it at the same time. My fingers are crossed for him and my toes and eyes and everything else I can cross but not my legs as I need to pee. I have to use my humour as I think it is a great coping mechanism.

Going to go and buy some strawberries this morning, don't really need them but I am trying to walk everyday that I am off in order to keep the weight loses going. This afternoon will be happily spent deep in radox and getting ready for the casino tonight.

Todays food

bfast
yoghurt, strawberries, apples

lunch
bacon, sausage, tomatoes, eggs, mushrooms

tea
pork loin steaks, tomatoes, mushrooms

snacks
2 alpen lights (b)
milk for coffee (a)

As you can see another red day for me as I have practically got a farm yard in my freezer.

Going to have another coffee then hit the shops will post this afternoon pre bubble bath. Hope you have a great day Sammie.

Do I need to put missing posters out for you? Where are you? You okay?

 

[Sammie G]

Hi hunni for some reason its not giving me notifications had a good day spent it Thaila and her boyfriend they're both ill went out for a meal for one of her friends 18th and everybodies come down with (I'm assuming) food poisoning its not as bad as it was but they're not eating much.

Hope you had a fab time with your son yesterday ohhhh casino now there's something I've never done sounds like a fun night out.

Went to Asda today and stocked up on the Alpen Light bars yum yum.

Don't know why I didn't come on yesterday I had every intention of doing but lately things just keep slipping my mind I couldn't find my car keys before and Thaila found them in the fridge, if I wasn't single I'd swear I had pregnancy brain :8855::8855::8855:

x x x x

 

[Sammie G]

Hiya hunni just a quick one so you don't call missing persons :8855::8855: pmsl been mad busy today and still haven't finished don't know where this weekend had vanished to but its almost over and still have a million and one things to do I wouldn't mind but I've stayed in this week .

Hope you're okay and you had a blast at the casino last night.

Will nip back on in a bit speak to you later mwah x x x

 

[Sammie G]

Hi sweetie I hope you're ok I'm missing you heaps I hope you're just mega busy at work.

I couldn't remember my password before because at home it logs me in automatically when I open the page but anywhere else I've got to remember my user name and password :sigh:

:cry:the boss is coming with ANOTHER mountain of paperwork so rude does he not realise I'm trying to have a conversation with my friend :8855:

Oh well better get to it I suppose back in a while x x x x

 

[zilla]

Hi love, sorry not been here for a few days but been MEGA busy, work unreal and doing lots of overtime, then things at home keep breaking down, more money arhhhhh but hey ho life goes on eh. My password at work wasn't working and then just so tired when I got in. Not going to WI this week or next due to other things going on but am staying as on track as I can and setting a small goal cos it's hard when you cannot get to group so when I next weigh in I will just go for a loss of 5.5lb making my 3 stone. I know it's not much over three weeks but I want something managable and that I will be able to keep to. I must admit that a couple of BAD :sigh: things have thrown themselves (against my wishes-lol) down my throat but not beating myself up and aiming for my little goal to get me right back on our target of 3 st off before next June.

How are you? Hope you are doing okay. Did you go to WI? How did you do? I have just got up and am having a nice coffee before I tackle some hand washing (machine broke whilst at work last night-flooded kitchen-son panicked bless him and got his dad (my ex) to come and help him) so hence having to do some hand washing. My ex took a couple of my uniforms and is getting his girlfriend to wash them for me but am not sending my underwear wouldn't feel right.

Did you watch HK yet?

Have you got a slow cooker and if so have you got any tips or recipes for me as I have one arriving later tonight. Am going to try and put a meal in it in the mornings when I get home and them my tea will hopefully be ready when I get up.

XXXXX

 

[Sammie G]

Awww it doesn't just rain it pours :cry: I so hope you're ok despite all the badness that is happening at the minute. I'm not sure if work have blocked this site or I've remembered the password wrong but I'm not able to log in, its a good job I clicked 'remember me' at home so it signs me in automatically lol :character00148:.

Not watched HK yet went to the Odeon (Trafford Centre) last night to watch the new film The Help with Thaila, how good am I, I actually took a tub of veg and humous and bottled water me although I did have a handful of Thaila's popcorn arty0051:- I couldn't resist ha ha By the time we got home it was gone 10pm and I still had clothes and lunches to sort out, but will watch it tonight have you watched it ? Is it any good ?

I actually guffawed imagining your ex's girlfriend sorting through your smalls ha ha ha OMG can you imagine :8855::8855::8855:

Stop beating yourself up 5.5lbs is plenty to lose over a 3 week period if you think about it we're usually happy if we lose 1lb so to set yourself almost double that is good.

I didn't go WI last night with going to the pictures I'm glad in a way because I am seriously constipated and bloated to the point of its uncomfortable

As for the slow cooker I usually just do stews, soups, casseroles, curries etc I put them on before I go to work and they're ready when I get in hmmm lush the flavours are really intense :drool:,according to some you can do a roast dinner and everything in it (not tried)

:wavey:Morning, go buy some Senokot-they are amazing when you are bunged up take 2 a day and after a couple of days it will be shooting from your arse :8855:trust me as I have had this issue doing slimming world before, and boy do they work. Just think of the weight loss when you finally drop your logs If you are really bunged up you could pooh a stone log :8855::8855:. Wish I was bunged up now so I could pooh some weight off this week:8855:.

As you can see am in a better frame of mind today even though have just woke up feeling :sick: runny nose, sore throat, etc etc etc. Working again tonight and then going to the casino again tomorrow night. We had a great night last friday and got home at 7.20am saturday morning. Slept til 4pm. Probably will be the same this week .

If you haven't watched HK yet then I won't spoil it, but it is another good episode to watch. I will wait to discuss it til you say you have seen it. My slow cooker arrived last night I have a crockpot one so I can use the inner pot on the cooker to brown my meat if I want to. So will spend a couple of my days of next week-yep I have 4 nights off next week and so far have no agency work booked (I have 2 jobs-but both doing the same thing)

Don't worry Sammie am not beating myself up over the invasion of the bad things forcing themselves down my throat against my wishes, :17729: I did try and fight them all off but what with me being such a small and weak woman they easily overpowered me :8855::8855::8855:

Think I need another coffee whilst I decide what to do with the kg of mushrooms I have in the fridge that need using up, may see if there is a slow cooker recipe that is mainly mushrooms.

[Sammie G]

Mornin hun woo hoo I got on at work :booboo: I was typing the wrong username AND password :sign0007:.

Was at the docs this morning for MORE bloods (gonna have none left at this rate) so I mentioned it to her and she gave me moveical (not sure of the spelling) I'll see how I go on with this if not I'll try the senokot ewwww I got a really vivid image of pooh shooting from my arse like missiles :8855:.

Glad you're feeling better I don't like it when you're down. You dirty stopout can't believe you stayed out till half 7 the next morning you must've had a whale of a time.

HK HAS been watched and thoroughly enjoyed especially Elise crying and Gordon telling her to stop snivilling hahahahah that young blond one deserved to go she was docile from the start how she lasted this long is beyond me I think Tattoo Tommy is on his way out as well he's clinging on by his fingernails. Please, please, please let Elise get what she deserves next week she is so annoying how Gordon can't see it is a miracle, there is no way she could run a restaurant she'd have no staff cos I certainly wouldn't work for someone like her.

I've just googled mushrooms and on 'Goodtoknow' go to recipes type in slimming world refine search to main ingredient mushrooms and there's 17 different recipes just printing some off now I LOVE mushrooms yummy yum yum x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x

 

[zilla]

Morning (0042 am) am on break as usual at this time and thought i'd catch up with you. HK was excellant watching Ellise cry was sooooo good my god she is ugly when she crys :8855:I agree that Tommy is s**t it's got to be one of those two that goes next week am off that night so going to watch it whilst in bed doing some decoupage.

Stayed up all day yesterday (thursday) waiting for the new pipe for the washer and guess what they didn't come-not only that but the couriers put online that I wasn't in and that they had put a card through the door. Downright liars and I wasted no time in phoning the suppliers and venting some steam, they said they would refund all the delivery charge I simply said that's the least you can do as I paid extra for a quick delivery. I then made a formal complaint because the courier company they used had lied and not attempted to delivery it in the first place, anyway the poor man said he would try and get them to deliver it today (Friday) well I will have to try and get some sleep when I get in as am having another late night, just have to hope when they come-if they come the doorbell wakes me up. It normally does but I have a funny feeling that the same s**t will happen again. Anyway cannot wear what I wanted to as it's in the wash pile :cry:so will have to think of something else when I get up. Am sort of inbetween sizes at the moment, so it's a bit hard.

I tried the slow cooker yesterday, I put in the mushrooms, onions, chopped lean pork loin, crushed chillies, black pepper, mild curry powder, mustard powder, cumin seeds, smoked paprika, two tins chopped tomatoes, and a dash of worchestershire sauce and then left it on low for 6 hours. It is for tea today with rice before I go out so I don't succumb to the lovely casino food, I tried a bit and the pork was so tender if a little spicy
Have searched online and found a nice one for liver and bacon casserole which I will be doing next week, I love having new toys to play with (oh that sounded rude didn't it :8855

Work is nice tonight and even though I have a bigger belly than last week I am trying to get the focus back. This is what I normally do loose a couple of stone then become complacent and put it all back on and more besdies but I know that's not happening this time because even though I have fallen by the wayside it's not on the scale that it would have been in the past and I cannot wait until I am fully in the zone again. I am determined that the three stone we are aiming for off by next June is happening, even if it is a slow journey it is one that I am going to complete and I thank you Sammie for being by my side. :bighug::flowers:

Well that's half my break gone it's surprising how fast it goes when I get on here. lol.

Hope you are doing okay.
XXXXX

 

[zilla]

Morning Sammie, hope you are okay with whatever is keeping you from posting :sigh: well it's now 0048 am Sunday morning and as usual am on my break. Went to the casino on Friday night and had a brill time not too late a night we got home around 330am.

Washer pipe still not come and have had many heated conversations with the supplier, we now just have to wait and see if it arrives Monday, so the ex is again doing a wash for us. When I came to work tonight one of the staff asked how long my hair was so I took it out from it's clip and she said it was lovely but the ends were dead and needed trimming (this I knew already but hadn't got around to getting it sorted out) she then said she used to do peoples hair when she was younger and would gladly trim it for me, within minutes the scissors were at my hair and she said she would have to take a few inches off, buggar me she cut 8 inches off and it's not really that tidy :cry: my own fault but now it's looks awful and I quickly said thanks (like you do-we are in general a polite society aren't we. When we really want to say what the f**k did you do) So hair is again shoved back in the clip and I will have to see what I can do with it when I get up later this afternoon.

Not planned meals for this week yet and am now working two of my nights off for the agency I need the money as they have been using the wrong tax code since april and when I got paid this week ( I saved four time sheets to send together to have a really nice wage) the tax people took a HUGE amount to clear what I owed. I literally lost 3 of the four nights pay that I sent the time sheets in for

My I am in a moaning mood this morning :8855:am not really cos I generally don't let things get to me. If I can change something then I try my hardest to do so, but if there is nothing I can do then I just let things be and deal with it as it happens, me thinks this is why I have no wrinkles.
