SpursGem CC Diary to lose 8 Stone!!

[spursgem]

Night sweats sound awful - my bf gets them sometimes. I went through a bad bout of sleep paralysis, at one point it was happening twice a night. Only happens occasionally now. Anything that interrupts your sleep like that is horrible . Glad you are sleeping better x

That sounds awful! i've not had that. I just wake up with sheer panic or terrified! my skin is clamy and my heart pounds.

 

[spursgem]

that sounds horrid Erin x

Gem u ok?

I'm ok thanks hun, long hard day at work. My mum must of taken the hint as she offered to have my boys tonight so me and Stu can go out for dinner! We haven't done that in months!! x

Hope you had a lovely night

 

[spursgem]

was a lovely night but missed my boys. It's funny because when they are here you think it would be nice to have a break and when they're not here you miss them so much!!!

They sent me this pic though

My sister took them to Krispy Kreme Doughnut place!!!! :sigh:

Aww, your two boys are wee cuties! Those Krispy Kreme places are popping up everywhere now...I have resisted temptation so far haha.

Your pasta bake looks yummy! I haven't had one in aaaaages! Used to love them and have them once a week.

 

[spursgem]

I'm not a fan of doughnuts so i'm ok.

I noticed that Mcdonalds have started doing Frappes! I love them but at 400 calories i might have to give them a miss :cry:

Pasta bakes are so easy to make after being at work, leftovers for lunch too x

I'm rubbish at pasta bakes - i get too carried away with the cheese on top (and sometimes crushed ready salted crisps) and the pasta always goes hard - any tips?

 

[spursgem]

I just make the pasta up and the bolognese then mix it together and bake for 10 minutes, last 5 i put a bit of cheese on top x

Do you buy pre-prepared mango or do you do it yourself? I've only ever had it in mixed fruit pots and was just wondering if you need to do anything special if you buy it fresh etc. x

 

[spursgem]

this one was pre prepared. I buy fresh Mangoes in the summer.

i brought one of these OXO Good Grips® Mango Splitter in corers and stoners at the home of creative kitchenware, Lakeland which makes it so much easier

x

 

[donnajt]

I want one!!! Fab price too

Is the cauliflower rice good? or does it just taste like cauli - that is such a stupid question lol!
