Sick of carrying 2 hitch hikers about, so this is my diary

I should be obliged to report you for that, being a protector of the Public Purse and all o'that but I'll turn a blind eye :D

I should report myself. They might sack me :clap:


Lily go as high as you can, without feeling blah, on the steroids. You need to sort your foot out first. Even if you gain a bit it will come off once you are back to normal (I can't believe I just put you and normal in the same sentence :D).
 
Hi everyone,
Decided to spend the whole day yesterday with my feet up (cept for the 2 hours exercising lol...1 hour in the morning and 1 in the evening), have noticed the more I have them down the sorer they get.
I found that after an hour exercising yesterday they were starting to get itchy and were exceptionally sore, so I stopped and decided at 11pm last night to try and do another hour and they were okish.
Am self medicating at the moment, found that 75mg of my steroids were clearing the problem but making me add weight and feel blah....so cut them down to normal, then found that wasn't doing any good so have now increased it to 35mg see how that goes...feet feel a little better today so I am crossing everything :fingercrossed:, have done just over an hour of wii fit and weights this morning and feel good, will see if I feel up to doing more tonight and am going to attempt to do the big shop tonight too if my feet hold up.
Thanks for all the lovely comments and I will try and catch up as I go
Hope you're all having a fab day xxxxxxxxx

P.S. Jo yes I did get your call and have just checked the number so now I can ring and text you as I feel :giggle: xxxxxx

Oof, you've managed more than I have... been put off wii fit a little bit after it gave me the puny loss after doing it every day for the week lol Too easily swayed me :rolleyes:

Have you got another appointment sorted out with your dermatologist? Hope they can sort something more effective out for you that doesn't have too many nasty side effects :( Keep putting your feet up whenever you can xxxx
 
Hi Lily, keep putting your feet up whenever you can and leave the exercising for abit till you get yourself sorted.
Tried the cupcakes was not keen at first, I put abit more icing on more then normal by using a chocolate orange option, they taste alot alot better cold. Look after yourself. xx

Hahaha, I did think that they might after that comment but I decided to stay quiet, you know what you're doing :giggle:
I have been self medicating for a while, my dermatologist is aware that I do but has capped it at 75mg, can't go higher than that ...the 35mg is making me shed again, so :fingerscrossed: it's an adequate amount xxx....I know the weight will come off again but I really want to be in those size 20's by xmas xxx

Oof, you've managed more than I have... been put off wii fit a little bit after it gave me the puny loss after doing it every day for the week lol Too easily swayed me :rolleyes:

I love the wii fit but I only do about half hour of that, usually do another 45 minutes of weight training along with it, some of which I can do while sitting, which is handy lol ...keep up with it hun, it will work eventually and any exercise will be slow after starting exercise as the body tends to hold the water in your muscles for a while, but it soon goes xx

Yes I have an appointment with her on 23rd of this month, don't think there is anything more effective, these tabs work but I can't take them long term cos of the side effects at the highest dose that clears it, so we are trying to find a happy medium that doesn't give me the nasty side effects and helps to clear it too, I can put up with it not clearing completely as long as it clears enough so that I can get about ok xxx

:wavey: :wavey: am I allowed in :) I am so so sorry Lily.

Course you're allowed in, silly lol you're my twin xxx :hug99:
:wee: :wee: :wee: on the 3lb loss thats fantastic especially when eating cupcakes ;) :bighug: for my twin xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Thank you sweetie, I was gobsmacked lol knew I'd lost (can always feel it and it's never let me down) lol didn't expect 3lb though :woohoo:
Thankfully they were only tiny cupcakes and I drank gallons of water and was really careful before going to my sisters cos I know what she's like....just today she text me and told me she got the sausages for bonfire party on sat night I asked which ones and when I synned them they were 5.5 syns each :eek: said I'll take my own lol xxxxxxxxxx

I am resting my legs as much as I can, says she that just did a 3 hour shop in Tesco's lol.....I am only exercising as much as they will allow me as soon as they feel a bit sorer or itchy I stop.
Can't remember which recipe I gave you, there are 2 the first one says to use a certain amount of icing and chocolate drops and the other you replace the chocolate drops with more icing, I prefer the 2nd one, can live without the chocolate drops myself lol xxx

ps hope your self medicating works sweetie :grouphugg: really hope it helps and your skin settles sweetie :(xxxxxxx

:fingerscrossed: it does, I have had enough of this particular outbreak, I can't remember it ever being this bad or lasting this long ...hopefully once it clears I'll have a longer stint without any outbreak xxx

hmm that might have sounded like a lecture , it wasn't intended to:eek:

sorry if it did :eek: xxx

No sweetie, didn't sound like a lecture, I actually knew you would say something along those lines it's your job xxx
Oh but what I didn't add to that was that I have been with this dermatologist for a while and even though I say self medicating I'm not really, I am on a minimum of 10mg and a maximum of 75mg a day and have to find what is the happy medium for me....as I said up there ^^^ 75mg a day clears it beautifully, but I can only bear the side effects for about a week max and then I have to lower them, what we want is to find the place where the side effects are bearable and they clear my skin to an acceptable and comfortable level xxxxxxxxx
 
Well I got back from Tesco's just about half hour ago, I love shopping that time of night, it's so peaceful and quiet.
I am exhausted, 3 hours to walk round and 2 shopping trolley's later lol....spent £203.82, not bad at all got loads of stuff to put away for Xmas....got my clubcard vouchers today that I have been saving all year, so I only actually paid £51.32 in cash...even better bargain lol....all I really need to get now for Christmas is the Turkey Crown and Fresh Fruit and Veg....I am chuffed lol...oh and his lordships mince pies, might get a couple more of their smoked salmon at half price though if I can get back there, we are having smoked salmon Pate Christmas day (already worked out our menu), all yummy but very SW friendly, almost exactly the same as we had last year and I lost 6.5lb Christmas Week and the same New Year too, (helps being a t-totaller lol...well other than the odd baileys), would like to get somewhere near that this year too lol ....
Well I am going to have a look at a few diaries and then bed...nighty night all, sweet dreams :zz: xxxxxxxxxxxx

You need to let me in on your secret!!

This will be my first Christmas in Plan!

I am really worried things are going to go pear shaped for me!! 2 weeks hols then Christmas!! :-(

The old me would have said stuff it, I will start again in January!!

But not Sugar!!! Lol I want to have my 3.5 Shiny by Christmas, so any hints welcome!! :)

(It's such a shame they don't do Sin free Red Wine!!!) LOL xxxx
 
Morning all, foot very sore this morning, probably all the walking last night, so going to rest up for a while longer, will catch up later I promise ...have a great day xxxxxxxx

Oh and Cinta, no secret sweetie, I get very excited about Christmas, and I find it hard to eat at that time, plus it's very active as I'm with the grandkids for the whole period, we plan out a lovely menu every year (mostly from the Christmas Cook Book) and stick too it, plus I don't really drink, the odd bailey's and that's it. I don't expect to lose that much this year, but it would be nice to have a loss over Christmas and New Year, I don't see why I can't have one xxxx
 
I am already planning christmas to minimize any damage as well :D

looking at christmas dinner and seeing where i can make changes.
we do christmas slightly differantly as I nearly always work:cry:
usually we have our christmas dinner on christmas eve and then have big breakfast on christmas day. I always try to work the late on christmas day so have never missed the presents in the morning :D
work could be a bit dangerous this year as always lots of treats about so will be taking my own i think

I want a sts at the very least:D

We do Christmas completely different to most people, we have always let the kids have their santa sacks in the morning and 1 or 2 pressies during the day but the main bulk of presents are opened after dinner and all the washing up is done, then we just take our time, usually by the time we've done that it's about 8pm and we then prepare tea and after tea is done and cleared we open tree presents (small pressies of about £5 in value), then once we have done that the kids usually get their main presents all of which takes us to about 9pm, the kids play for an hour or so then bed and we then play cards or boards games till we can't stay awake any longer...then boxing day we have a very relaxed day and the kids play all day with their gifts and their dad builds anything that needs building with Mals help and we often don't even get dressed :eek: ....it's only us on boxing day and everyone knows that, so no need to dress and it's lovely lazing about in Jimjams lol
We also don't have any TV on Xmas day or Boxing day, we record anything we want to see and watch it over the next few days....I love that family time especially as everybody is so busy all year.
I would like a small loss but will accept a sts or even a small gain if need be lol xxxxx :p xxxxx
 
Wow at your tesco voucher savings - Lily the Thriftmeister! :D

Mnph the bloody feets huh, probably best having a good rest up today after the three hours of trolley traipsing :bighug:

Hmn dunno how I'll do at christmas - I'm always at someone else's house and with m'mum and dad separated it'll be at least two dinners outside of home. Can probably scrape a small loss if I manage to leave it at that but really depends on moods/smart shopping etc We shall all see how we go lol Presume we'll take a week's break between curvy challenges so we're not starting the next one with potential xmas gains :eek:
 
awwww Lily sorry your feet are still sore sweetie :bighug: :bighug:


My Nanna and Grandad did Christmas similar to you :D the only thing was we had to wait until after the Queens speech to open anything so as children we fidgeted and fidgeted through the speech and hated the queen as we had to wait for her to finish waffling to get our goodies :giggle: :giggle: So because of this mine are allowed to open all their pressies early which goes on until around normal lunchtime so we have a later lunch amongst all the mess :8855: :8855:

Haha Lo, I love the new Thriftmeister handle :giggle:,
It's not all me hun, what we do is we put all my shopping and Kelly's and Kirsty's on my Clubcard all year and what we earn pays for our Christmas and New Year meals, and then all the other odds and sods we split the cost between us, that way no one has to fork out too much....works really well, plus we all buy a few little extras starting at the end of September, so no huge big shopping bill come Xmas Day.....like I said I am having almost exactly the same meal as last year, only 1 difference so far...at buffet night on Tuesday, one of our ladies brought in a dish which was mussels wrapped in bacon and served inside huge pasta shells...will have to find out where she got the huge shells as I can't find them anywhere ....but they were so moresome and so syn free, they really appeal to me :8855:

Hey Sweetie, I am so patient all year round for everything, I hate waiting to open my pressies but we have always done it that way and I wouldn't do anything different, it seems like the kids are opening pressis all day long that way lol...my brother used to hide my nephews presents all over the house, and he would still be finding them days later lol ...we actually have an early Christmas Dinner as everyone can't wait to open the pressies, only time we didn't was 4 years ago when Kelly had her first full blown Epilepsy Seizure as she was about to put the pan in the oven full of oil for the roast potatoes, that year was a nightmare, so we make sure she is well medicated and well rested, don't want that happening again was really horrible ...she also dislocated both her shoulders and has had to have operations and is still getting problems from it, so :fingerscrossed: nothing like that happens ever again xxxxxx
Oh and the tablets seems to be working on the 35mgs a day, feet feel lots better today, got a little soreness in my mouth and on my tongue just hope it doesn't get any worse as i'll have to lower the dose again xxxxxxx
 
Ooh, a team effort of thriftyness - cool :D

I think I've had those big pasta shells from sainsburys - not sainsburys own brand though, one of those 'from italy' types, Conchiglioni is the shape name - just had a look and I think they've got 'em on tesco online :)

We are a team hun lol
I looked in Tesco shop and on line can't find them anywhere, will have a look at Sainsbury's but they're a bit of a drive away from me so would prefer some other supermarket got everything close by except them lol...won't give up cos they were so nice and I bought the mussels last night lol xxxxx


Hmmmm just looked at the ones in Tesco and they don't look big enough, they were seriously huge, think I'll ask her just to make sure on Tuesday xxx
