Jenny's moved on :)

Spanish - polinosis

And for playboy readers...
Polish - Siano świń

Sounding very chipper today lady, hope you have a good afternoon. xxx

Polinosis.... I like that!!! Sounds serious... like Summer Man Flu...

And the playboy thing made me choke on tea Wahey! Giggles all round!!!

I may have to investigate alternative mangoes.... Hmmmm My mission, should I choose to accept.........

This evening will be spent losing at Scrabble... I hate when he beats me. Which is all the time...!x

This evening will be spent losing at Scrabble... I hate when he beats me. Which is all the time...!x

The rules have now changed Jen - you can use names and stuff. Might have to google it. But you may be in with a better chance!

 

[Auburn]

I wish... I said that, and he said no way, we had to play by the proper rules, we have to do things by the book you see, with a dictionary and everything... haha!

I'm usually allowed one "jenny-ism" in the game - Just have to be clever when I play that, make sure I get a good score!

But I am prepared to lose... its easier that way than dealing with Captain Grumpypants...

 

[OneDeterminedChick]

Good luck with your game chick!!!! Hope you beat him..xx

 

[omnomnom]

I thought you couldn't use a dictionary in scrabble?

Hope you win... Girl Power and all that flapjack! xxx

You can challenge someone's word and check it in the dictionary if you think it's wrong. If it is wrong they lose their turn.

I always beat Adam but he refuses to play by the new rules too, it's just dumbing down society. If you can't win scrabble without using the word pepsi then it's not the game for you I had a bit of a rant when they changed trivial pursuit to questions about celebrities and movies.

 

[Mumma K]

Well here's to hoping you won the game last night
I have a scrabble application on the Iphone, which i postively hate the computer always wins as it makes words up haha!!!!
I was like what the friggin hell is that, and then go and look it up and sure enough in the dictionary.
When I was on night's with Raj he was like come on lets play scrabble we ended up in big fight as I used the words from the game and he was like thats not a friggin word
me all smug yes it is look it up sunshine

 

[Auburn]

Last night, he didn't finish work til gone 7. He text me to say could I please sort dinner because he wasn't in the mood, so considering that he could be going away soon for some time, I did the naughty and stopped at the indian. I got a lamb jalfrezi for him, and rice, and I got a chicken saag. I also got a couple of chappatis and some poppodoms. I had 3/4 of the saag, and half a chappati, that was more than enough for me. We also shared a bar of cadburys caramel over a cuppa. How civilised!
Thankfully, he wasn't in the mood to woop my azz at scrabble, so I did not lose
He's worried that I am getting obsessed with dietting. So I need to calm it a bit... But when he's away, I can make a concerted effort to get myself right back on the straight and narrow.

Today has been a 2 breakfast day....
B 1 - Toast and jam 2.5
B 2 - Special K and Skim Milk 2.5
Lunch - TLC thai curry pot 5
Tea - made-up chicken saag - potatoes, spinach, chicken and balti paste 3.5
Heaps of snacks :-S Too many, I feel, but still within points... 10.5 points of snackage
Total - 24/27


Oh, I just realised. I keep saying "when he's away" and I haven't said.... They're taking my man away from me again. Brazil this time! Only for a couple of weeks, and this is obviously volcano permitting....

I told him if he gets stranded, then he has to write to me once every 10 days. As well as the daily email/text I think that is more than fair... haha!

 

[Auburn]

Think I am following a very different type of No Count today... ah well. Today = total write off. I am already over my points for the day, and ... I'm out for me dinner. So curly-wurlies to it all today, I'm eating

In other news, I may have found the perfect job, I am going to apply for it over the weekend - This is one application I have to get spot on... I want this job.

I have also started my christmas shopping... yus I know it is April... but when you see something that's right, you just knows it...


And I got some tickets arranged too, going to see a psychic with a friend, and got some tickets to see Ardal O'Hanlon He's so funny, I can't wait..! It isn't til October, but it gives me something to get stupidly excited about!

That job, the closing date is in 2 weeks, so that gives me what, 3 to 4 weeks to the interview. That's 3 to 4 weeks to get my tush in gear and shift this lardo... I'm aware eating 3 tayties short of a pig today isn't going to help, and I am partically tempted to do SW for a week, just to kick start again... but I'm in the mindset of WW now, and the idea of not having bread upsets me somewhat, so I think it will be a strict strict Kick Start at 22 points next week.

I'm not gonna like it, but tough titties. Gotta do it, gotta get it working again..

Cereal, soup and pasta dinners. Fruity snacks. Simple. I know I can do it, just gotta.. actually... do it...

 

[DopeyAngel]

3 tayties short of a pig

I've never heard that before Jen but that's an absolute classic. Can you use it in any saying e.g. '3 carrots short of a horse', '2 peas short of a hog' ??!

Actually the pig reference is better I think.

Good luck with the job application chick - they're such a pain but hopefully you'll be able to focus over the weekend. And also good luck with the kick start - you must be feeling very driven at the moment, job applications, 22pts etc. Sounds good to me.

Have a fab weekend chuck

 

[omnomnom]

I buy anything half price or less that doesn't have a sell by date on it, then, every week, (and yes, this is going to sound really cheap and nasty) I buy my Mom, sister and niece one thing each from the 99p shop, but it has to be something useful, then at Christmas I only have one main gift to buy them but they get to open lots of little crazy things that will just make them laugh!

That sounds great. Little crappy but thoughtful presents are the best. Every year everyone in my family looks forward to their present from my step grandma. They are the most random, chite presents ever but it makes christmas! You get on the phone and ask "what did you get from Margaret this year?" One year she bought my dad a shoe polish, another year a car tax disc holder. I think this was a mix up, but one year she got my older brother a pink blow up backpack. Someone else got old Arsenal mags from the attic. I've received things like bright orange make-up and furry mobile phone holder and pen (as an oldish teen). Brilliant.

 

[Mumma K]

I know the topic was about xmas pressie's but talking of random presents
My mum's mother brought me and the ex a tin of talc for a wedding pressie haha!!!

Good luck for your application Jen
and here's to hoping you get an interview and ultimately the job of your dreams
good luck for Kick start too and yeah yer right you can do it

 

[OneDeterminedChick]

Hey Jen, good luck with the job app...hope you get it chick!!!

Bring on the fast start, ive done it this week and feel a hell of a lot better for it and hosping for a good 4lbs off on monday!!! Good luck with it chick, you CAN do it!!!!!

xx

 

[missybct]

A steering lock with no key? That's priceless! I have to say no one in my family gets gifts that make you scratch your head. I do remember my Mum's ex partner buying me this hideous orange top that I ended up giving to my Mum about three years later, just enough time for him to forget he got it for me, I hope!

Good luck with the job chicklet, I really hope you get it! xxx

 

[vanda]

Just enjoyed reading your posts Jen and all.

Good luck with the job application, and kickstart could just do the trick. Step away from sw though

I got really excited to find someone else who has 2 breakfasts. I always have 2 when I'm working mornings. Cereal before I leave for work usually about 5.45. Then yogurt and fruit at 9 - always thought I'd make a good Hobit.

Have a great weekend

 

[Auburn]

Thank you all for the luck and positive thoughts for the job We'll see how it goes, ey!!
And I <3 crazy xmas presents!!!
I've had the bright orange makeup before too... I never really understood that. And the cheap makeup stuff that smells like talc, I dont know where obscure relatives find this stuff...!

WELL Motivated for the kickstart thing

OH MY GOD! I cocked up today!!!

It's a sunday, and I am usually at Biker Boy's til early mid afternoon, or tea time... So when I got home from his today, I put some lunch on as my tummy was grumbling away... had some beautiful cheesey garlic mushrooms on toast. I don't know why, I always need to eat something whenever I get home from his house. I think it's the whole "ah, freedom! No need to be perfect diet queen" thing. haha!

Then mum and dad started making food, so I thought it was teatime, and put my WW pizza in the oven... No idea why, I wasn't particularly hungry.

THEN! I come and start logging things on my online-y tracker thing, and realise.... It's not even 1pm... Because he was going out with his dad, so I left his at 9am....

What a flipping tart!!! I've had toast at his, then mushrooms on toast, and a pizza, and it ain't even barely lunchtime...

HAHAHAHAHA!! Good job I amuse myself, innit!

So dinner at *dinner time* will be quorn, potatoes and veggies. Healthy stuff.

I've had a really good weekend, full of nice pink&fluffy moments and lots of niceness and coupley moments. Lots of food too. I think he's trying to over-compensate for the trip away that he's got, which looks like it will be next weekend, for an unspecified amount of time. Shouldn't be more than two weeks, I doubt. He is SO gonna miss me, I know it. He wont admit it though!

Friday, I was already over my points by the time we went out for dinner. I then had fish tempura, and peking chicken and rice.
Saturday, I stayed within my points, and had NO snacks! Cheese on toast for breakfast, subway for lunch, and linguine with chicken and chorizo for tea. And apple crumble
Today - Well, I'm eating, put it that way!

We watched Shrek 2 last night, well, I watched it, he was sleeping on me. I woke him up and asked if I needed a potion and he said No, we didn't need a potion, especially not a happy ever after one...

AWWWW

Pass. The. Bucket...

 

[Auburn]

Thanks Nikki

I wii'd!

Other than that, pretty quiet day today. BUT! I have made a plan for tomorrow!

After a very "oh burger what are we going to do for breakfast" moment when I realised we have no eggs, bacon, milk and little in the way of bread.. I confiscated 2 slices of bread from my parents sad looking 4 slices that were left, and stuck em in the freezer. I'm bloody getting breakfast tomorrow if it's the last thing I do! haha. Don't worry, they'll be fine.
So!
Breakfast will be cheese on toast, lunch a prawn mayo jacket potato, and tea is quorn dippers, broccoli, carrot and spuds of some form.
Snacks to be a banana, 2 apples, a toffee yogurt and a big choccie snack a jack
Total = 19 points, 3 left for "whoops" and whatever else flies into my gob...

I just realised.. I have quorn sausages in the freezer. No, I shall stick to me cheese on toast I think

 

[DopeyAngel]

Mmmmmm i love quorn sausages. Well any quorn really - not tried the dippers yet though. On inspiration from you I bought falafel and had them yesterday, they were lush! So I have you to thank for a particularly yummy lunch.

Good luck with kick start chick

 

[Auburn]

Thank you!
The dippers are pretty good, make sure you do turn them though, halfway through burning in the oven, or they stay soggy on one side... Voice of experience there!

Falafel - Good choice, I mucho approve Have a lovely week!!

 

[Auburn]

By 9am I already decided that I was starving... Except, that I know I am not. I just want to eat. This is officially crap but I have to stop this stupidity snacking! I've had my cheese on toast breakfast, then a bowl of special K at work. An apple.

In other news, I can't get the online tracker to show 22 points - The lowest I can get is 24, so I'm gonna do 24 this week. That's 3 less than I should have, so that has to make some difference, surely!

I'm going to try and have one slice of toast for breakfast instead of two. That should cut some points per week. And still fill me up enough I reckon. I have proper bread, not the low-cal stuff. Not that I dislike the low-cal stuff, but I wouldn't get through a whole loaf. Well.. I would, but I shouldn't! So I pinch bread off my parents, and off the boyfriend-character.

Right... A pointless meeting, and a whinge-mail from the fella later, I'm finally able to go and cook my lunch.

Except... Now I don't want a jacket potato.



Typical!

 

[Mumma K]

Haha!!! @ and anything else that flys into my gob

I could never work that piggin online tracker thingy
it was evil haha!!!

Enjoy you day Jen
and how lucky is BB going to Brazil
