Haha, awesome! In that case, I also suggest marshmallows and fudge as challenges. Vegan ones are the absolute ultimate challenge! Hehe! Mmmm... Christmas cake! I've only taken to it recently, but would much rather have my father-in-law-to-be's chocolate yule log. To die for, definitely!
Awesome job on having such a good day! Ooo, engagement party! Congrats to your daughter, have they got a day booked for the wedding?

My advise for your daughter on the wedding day; leave it as long as possible. Wedding planning takes forever, and it's such hard work! I still kinda wish that my fiance and I had left it couple of years, but no regrets really. But if your daughter's like you, she'll have a level head on her and she'll do the right thing It's ace that you get on with her fiance too, that's so important in relationships; getting on with the parents.
I never had an engagement party either. My stepmum's cousin had one recently, and she got £17,000 of gift money! Then she'll get more presents off the gift list! Now I wish I had an engagement party!! So you never know, that money might come back ten-fold!

how much!! holy moly. i'll be lucky if i get £1000 for my wedding!! ha. should have had one *grumble grumble*
yup. weddings are a nightmare. i know that in the future i'll be really chuffed that we've done what we've done, but right now i wish we'd just got a weddingmoon package from somewhere luxurious and gone there!! we would have saved thousands and been able to spend a month on a tropical island somewhere... friends and family would have to pay for themselves ha.

Wrap the tuna in alfoil with some herbs and lemon and cook in oven until cooked through. I usually squish tuna up and mix it in with mashed spuds but I have to get out of that habit! Gawd its yummy though!
Fish is something I need to eat more of as well. I was married to a professional fisherman for 12 years and all we ate was fish, I haven't touched fish since. Just the smell of it used to make me think of that man :shudders: Anyway hope the rest of the day went well and the water tip worked!! Have a good one!

Don't fret about that piece of toast, it's better than having, say, an entire bag of mini Mars bars. If you were hungry, you did the right thing by not depriving yourself. And better to go to bed comfortably satisfied than painfully hungry. If you want to avoid it, a herbal tea always helps me; the warm feeling makes you feel more satisfied, and you can always drink a night variety to help you sleep!
I've only had tuna steaks once, and I fried them. Tin foil and grilling sound like good plans though. I usually Google anything I'm not sure about
Abz: Tell me about it! But with 6 weeks before the wedding, we might be a bit late for an engagement party!! I know what you mean; can't wait for the wedding day, but the amount of planning has been a shade of insane!!

evening everyone
Cheers for the tip caz that sounds yummy ill give that a go,,,, im terrible i dont eat fish much at all im scared of the bones in it terrified i choke i think i had a choking incident as a child so now when i eat fish if i get a bone i cant finish it.
Well ive had another good day food wise missed lunch as such as was at the opticians so when i got in i had some mixed fruit to tide me over till teatime had a nice cold meat salad with some pasta salad with a low fat dressing but not as low fat as id like i need to find a really tasty low fat one ,, this one had olive oil in it but as i needed to test it before the party wasnt gonna waste it as it was a new one for pasta salad i aint tried before.
I also splurged today and bought a wii fit to go with my daughters wii so had done half an hour on there aswell as having a laugh with my daughter as we done it together also had a nice walk with the 3 mad hounds this afternoon so my muscles ache and are wondering whats happened to them as the only excercise they normally get is walking to pub and home again lol.
So all in all a good day

Of all the things I miss most, fish is definitely the one thing I've missed since going completely vegeterian (I spent a while still eating fish.) Tuna steak is usually pretty free from bones, you'll probably be safe. Salmon's also pretty good, as are prawns. Prawns especially, if you get them pre skinned there will be no hard bits at all.
Yay, what a brilliant day! Well done on making sure you had something to eat after missing lunch and making a good choice with it. Aw bless, what kind of hounds have you got? Nothing like pets that give back with the gift of a walk and a slobber Awesome on the Wii Fit too, I'd love to try one! Have fun with it!

Hope your classes are as fun as the last one I went too. The ladies all gathered round and it was weigh in night. Everyone brought in a home made dish to share. Being only new and mostly there for support to a friend, did not bring anything. After weigh in 2 women started bickering over in the back corner and just as I went to dive into this amazing quiche dish, 2 massive hands ripped it from me and I cried as I watched it being launched across at this other woman. FOOD FIGHT!! It was bloody hilarious. I so wanted to go back but my friend pulled out. Of course, I was good on the calorie intake that night, I waited all bloody day for that feast!
Hope your meeting went really well! WII fit? Is that a game or something?
