Hello everyone, thank you for your lovely kind thoughts xx
No sorry didn't go to weigh in tonight, decided to stay in as my chest was really bad last night and have slept much of the day. I think the ibuprofen and pain killers are starting to kick in, along with the cough syrup as I feel a little better and not in as much pain as I was, although I dread to think what I'd feel like should I stop taking the meds right now lol. It really felt like someone was sticking a knife in my back and dragging it up to my shoulder blade. Have told Kirsty that in future if I say no then I mean no as I am not going to keep putting myself through that. I hate the winter and at the same time I love it, I hate it as I have no immunity to anything because of the steroids, they have blown my immune system out of the water, so if there are any bugs, colds, flu, or anything else going round then I am the one to get it first. I just hope that having this now will mean that I will be free of it over Christmas, can't even count the Christmases I have spent wrapped in a quilt with a hot water bottle, freezing my butt off, while everybody else is baking lol.
Have decided that although I will be taking a photo of me in my xmas jeans as that as my plan, I have actually bought a dress in a size 20 instead, I am a girly girl and love dresses and always wore them, never even put a pair of trousers on until I started working in the old people's home in 1992 lol, so I have just purchased a lovely "me" style dress and will add that photo too on xmas day...I am very excited about the prospect...I haven't told Mal what I've bought just that it's flor xmas day and he won't see it until then....he much prefers me in a dress and I finally feel confident enough once again to wear one.
Anyway I am off to have yet another hot ribena and I will have a quick smooch about and then bed...catch you all later :bighug: xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Oh I forgot to say, everyone here is over the moon as I am losing my voice, cheeky beggars lol xxxxxxxx

Morning all, I feel a bit better cold and pleurisy wise but have woken with the sneezes, I can't stop ...having a lovely hot Ribena and hopefully that will do the trick, I'm not normally a sneezy person, feels weird lol
Thanks Jo, I did have a lovely meal last night even if I say so myself it was bloody gorgeous.
Today is Mark's birthday and after all the upset of the last couple of months I decided to do him a lovely dinner last night as he will be eating at his Mum's tonight. So as Salmon is Mark's favourite meal and as I just happened to buy 2 halves of Salmon in Tesco week before last when they were on half price I thought why not.
So marinated it in chilli, ginger, soy sauce, honey, lime, garlic and chopped mushrooms and then cooked it in that too....it was to die for, but better was the sauce I made to go with it, tried a few things to make the sauce as SW friendly as possible, but most didn't work as they curdled in the heat, so in the end used laughing cow melted down with water and added to that, lime juice, mustard, honey, a dash of white wine vinegar with tarragon and parsley, omg it was to die for so yummy....served that with lots of lovely veg and a jacket potato...gawjus ...the chunks of salmon were huge though we had a whole side of salmon between 4 of us..,.couldn't finish mine, but Mark did lol and half of Kirsty's too.
So hopefully back and on track and will have to start putting up my food diary's again as I find they keep me more focused.
Have a great day everyone :bighug: xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Today is Mark, my son in law's birthday :birthday: and I am so angry for him I could scream.
I am so sick of his family I am having to bite my tongue, he bless him is really laid back but it must hurt him the way they treat him.
Once again and this has now happened 4 times out of the 6 birthday's he's had since we've known him, they have only bought him a birthday card from all of them (his mother, father and 2 brothers, who are 19 and 22) and nothing else, they were going to cook him a meal tonight but have backed out of that now as they can't afford it, but Mal has seen them twice this week, since Sunday, buying alcohol and cigarettes, they couldn't even buy him a cheap cd or dvd and I am so angry about that, but I spose a card is better than nothing a couple of years they didn't even do that....but what makes me the most angry is his younger brothers birthday is on the 26th, just 9 days after Mark's and they have always had the money to spend on him ....and on top of that they are always phoning Mark up and asking to borrow money, he used to lend it to them until Kirsty said no they are taking the p*ss Mark, so he stopped....we gave him some money and a couple of small pressies one of which is a coffee cup :coffee: (we just bought the Nescafe Dolce Gusto Coffee Machine) and he loves it, hasn't put it down since we gave him it and is over the moon that he can now take his coffee to work with him ....I am so sorry to rant
but I just needed to say something as I was getting really wound up by it :flamingmad:....it's not like they don't know when his b'day is or that he's a distant relative that just a card would be enough, :argh: I wanna scream

Hi hun, they really are the most selfish people, too lazy to work, which pees me right off, the eldest of the 2 boys left at home has just after 3 years of being off sick got himself a job at Tesco...now I say sick, his girlfriend hung herself, was awful and he was bad for a long while, but it didn't stop him going to the pub every day, even though his reason for not working was because he had panic attacks and couldn't go out, now if he can go to the pub every day surely he can go to work....the younger son ...well I don't even want to go into what he's like ...apart from saying if he were my son he'd be out on his backside the sh*t he brings home all the time and the mother well, I'll not go into that story either as I'd be here all night...Mark on the other hand is a qualified electrician, has lost his job twice since the recession hit but gone out the next day and found himself another job...he's working in an electrical wholesalers at the moment, not what he's qualified for but he's not been out of work more than one day since he was 17 and started his apprenticeship.
I can tell you categorically he never got a penny of the money back, hence the reason Kirsty put her foot down...I do laugh Kirsty's like me, easy going till you pee her off then she'll let you have it with both barrels, she don't take their crap and I am 150% sure by now has torn a piece off of them for their shabby treatment of Mark.....she spoilt him rotten, we gave him money as he wants to finish off his tattoo and some smelly's he wanted plus the coffee cup lol even Kelly my other daughter, who by the way is struggling this week as her hubby doesn't get paid till the 25th, but still found £20 to put in a card even though she has 3 small kids to feed, she said like me she'll manage it's only a week...I can't repeat what she said about them though :giggle: let's just say the air was very blue lol
Thank you hunni, It's the 1st pic I think where we both look at least half decent ...don't have one ..well recent one, that is good enough to put up till now xxxxxxx

At least he has you guys as his family now
Hey sweetie, you are absolutely right, he is a lovely lovely boy and he couldn't be more like a son than had I given birth to him myself, he is wonderful and my daughter is lucky to have him.
Just upsets me every year for him, every year I hope they will do differently but nope they never do...it's so frustrating xxxxxxxxx
