NannyDoreen & Upndown's daily diaries

[Clapper&Ham]

How annoying! It's quite sad how much we rely on the tv these days, I'd be lost without sky. I know it's each to their own, but we tried virgin and went back to sky.
Sleep well and drive carefully tomorrow x

 

[Nanny Doreen]

Well I am back. No computer use while I was away and no proper diet either. Will get weighed Sat morning and see how it has gone.

A one hour journey took me 2.1/2 hrs today as there was a lorry overturned on the motorway, what a bummer. The kids were a bit fed up but were very good. Faye was meeting a little friend and her mum for a meal, so good job I had given us plenty of time to get down here.

Am absolutely knackered, have no TV, am hungry, thirsty, peed off etc etc. & myDIL drove me mad. She is tired too but nontheless!!!!!

Moan over, nice to be home, will sit and watch some DVD`s and eat banana & yogurt drink coffee then have an early night.

Morning How's things? X

 

[Clapper&Ham]

Hi Doreen, good to have you back! I hope you're a bit more chilled out today x
HAPPY (belated) BIRTHDAY XXX

Good luck with wi x

 

[Nanny Doreen]

Morning all. Thank you Mandy. Don`t feel very chilled, but my sugars are high. Stress does not help with that. I may need a change of anti-depressents. Anyway I put on 1lb. The scales at the class I go to on Sat are the same as mine. The one I go to on Fri always makes me a pound lighter. It could have been a lot worse, I did eat quite a lot of birthday cake. Etc etc. It is difficult when I am away with the kids. Lots of reasons.

No children, their Mum picked them up yesterday afternoon. They only came down so Faye could go out to lunch with her friend. I just had Flynn with me, he is such a cutie he really is great to be with.

I am feeling much better now, head bit fuzzy but a good nights sleep will help.

As you say, 1lb for birthday week not bad. I reckon I ate half of that chocolate cake over 3 days it was lovely and biscuits too. I think getting up and down playing etc and takinh dog for a walk stopped it being any worse. I am back on it today, should be ok for a couple of weeks. I nearly didn`t go and get weighed, but am glad I did.

 

[Clapper&Ham]

I'm pleased you're feeling a bit better, hopefully a good sleep will sort you out.

Have a lovely evening! Sounds fab x

 

[Nanny Doreen]

Thank you both.
Can`t remember what it is called. It is only an amatuer one in the local hall. All 50`s music. Don`t know anything other than that. Will let you know tomorrow. Am looking forward to going out for a change.


It was called Smokey Joe`s Cafe. The first half was not so good but the second half was really good. Some fantastic voices especially for amateurs. They do other things like plays. Probably would go again.

Had a lovely spag bol with a side of superfree with my friend and raspberries & yog.
Altogether a good evening. Would definately do it again

 

[Nanny Doreen]

Here we are then, Friday morning ----- the dreaded weigh in
I do hope I haven`t put on, STS would be ok but would like to lose the 1lb I put on last week.

Tasting day today, don`t usually do anything but have cooked a pack of Light Choice sausages, have cut them into bite size pieces. Guess thy will be ok. Will let you know how I get on later.
