LoChan's diary - hello!

Oof there's always so much to catch up on when I go off being a Little Miss Jekyl :eek:

Been round diaries and things and not got time to update my own as it's getting a bit past teatime now, I'm rumbly for food but I haven't got a clue what I'll feed myself yet.

Will aim to pop back later to update xxx
 
agreed.. curly wurlys are amazing.. not so great with gravy and mash though! :D x
 
Hi Lochan - finally found your thread - will have a sit down tomorrow with a cuppa or 2 and read up. Hope you are having a good day xxx

*waves* Hiya Val - welcome to my 'place' lol Try and side-step the days where I was moody and distract yourself with m'food porn instead :eek:

You could have had a curly wurly instead of quorn sausages. And it would have tasted better :)

Oi you two, I don't need any encouragement on the chocolate front :8855:
 
I'm so glad it's friday tomorrow that I'm having my (mini) crunchie early to celebrate :D

Got slimpods in the post today :D Aiming to try and get them listened to before bed tonight if I don't stay up to late watching the new Peter Kay dvd. Heh if they have even just 10% of the effects they've had for Jackie I'll be happy :)

Starting on t'slimpods today - went to bed a bit too late last night so have just listened to drop 2 dress sizes this morning while I was still a bit sleepy and will listen again later along with the chocolate one. Don't think I'll notice anything much today though so will probably count this as Day 0 and start Day 1 and a thought diary (on paper) tomorrow :)
 
Hey Lo, nope had an awful nights sleep, was still coughing at gone 5 this morning and was up just before 7am...shattered would be the word, have tried to have a nap ever since but everytime I shut my eyes the phone rings or the postwoman knocks with another parcel lol...Kelly has the same cough too (that's my eldest daughter) and has just told me she has some cough sweets that have really helped clear hers, I usually use soothers and Covonia cough syrup along with copious amounts of strong hot Ribena (which is half price in Tesco right now, thought I'd share that little nugget lol ), but all to no avail right now...so am going to get some of said cough sweets and see how they work and if not resort to my old faithfuls and s0d the syns, Army and Navy always worked for me in the past so fingers crossed, cos this cough is really getting to me.
Oh i love your food porn lovely lady it's been my secret addiction for a while now :giggle:

Aye you did inspire me to give the old kidneys a go lol Think I need to work on the best way to cook them though as the taste was good but didn't like the texture at times. I've got some lambs liver in aswell which I could also do with some cooking guidance on... not sorted out ingredients for the pate weekend challenge yet lol

The pilaf was a cobbled together kind of thing :D I just cooked some brown rice in water with a knorr herb infusions stock pot, sauteed some chopped turkey steak with some garlic then added this to the rice about 5 minutes before the rice was cooked along with some chopped mushrooms and a few spoons of frozen peas/sweetcorn. I steamed some broccoli and red pepper strips then added these in just before serving. It would be nice with white or risotto rice too but I was trying to be wholesome with the brown kind :)

:eek::eek: nooo, invasion of the pod people :eek::eek:

How are you today lo, any cool plans for the weekend ?

good luck for weighin tomorrow xx

It's been a good day - no phone calls to worry about though having to jiggle leave at the moment - m'cheeky mother has got me taking 6 days off work to cover her while she's away... have told her I won't be doing it again until after april as I'll only have enough leave left for a few days xmas week after this lot. Still I don't have any anxiety when it comes to helping out with childminding, kids don't make me nervous :) Just a shame I wouldn't want to do it in my own home really...

Might be going to Alderley Edge for a farmer's market on sunday :) Nothing else planned except relaxin', and trying to be 100%!
see the pod people are everywhere, beware :giggle: :giggle:

good luck Lo xxxxxxx

Did anybody see invasion of the pod people? It sounds like a rubbish film but I bet if we make the remake and turn all fat people into thin people it will be a sell out.

It is going a bit Midwich Cuckoo around here isn't it? And Tilly's already turned blonde... what will become of the world? :eek:

Always happy to oblige ;):D

Mn, I hate that stage of the cough but as you say it's getting rid of the irritation on your chest if it's being productive :bighug:

Mn think I'll do that for tea, the packet suggests that with rosemary and garlic. Sounds like it'd be yum with mash potato so I guess that's sorted out what day I'm on today - I've been anxious to eat anything other than a yoghurt so far 'cause I had no idea what to do/have today lol
