Susie and Orbit's daily dribble

[Spinoza]

I'm full Susie - have to be, just had my whole dinner and then a goodly heping of pie, but I still want to nibble!!!

What I actually want is chocolate - damn those carb cravings. Hope they're gone soon!

 

[ladyfelsham]

LOL I just put sausages AND pork belly slices in the oven - bit late with dinner tonight .

Wish I could magic you some Atkins choc, Water hun, I got a load in yesterday's delivery. I'm having one a day in the evening, that's when I get a sweet attack, and they don't seem to be stalling me (touch wood)

One good thing about not sleeping is that I packed up my tree and decorations last night, and finally went through all of my photo albums and chucked all the pics I never look at any more - blurry Paris in the rain, people I haven't seen for years, and so on. Got them down from 10 albums to two! Now I just have to scan the remaining ones onto the puter - and a bonus was that I found some lovely pics of Mum, which made me happy

The reason for getting rid of stuff is that I have moved a lot in the past few years and I just have too many books, pics, DVDs and so on - so you may all find little gifts making their way to you in the near future.

Also had a good think about what I'll do when my flat sells. Much as I love the idea of buying a boat, moorings are impossible to get - so think it's over to Plan B - rent in St Leonards for 6-12 months and see if I can handle the 2 hour (each way) commute. The train will cost about £300 a month but rents are so cheap, I can get a 1-2 bed flat with sea views and still be paying what I am now. Sound like a plan, lovelies? x

 

[Spinoza]

When can we come visit Susie?

I want my decs down too, but superstition rules here, so they'll come down as soon as I get in from work tomorrow.

Lovely that you found photos of your mum Susie. My little bro just put out an APB for some photos of my father - apparently he has none at all, so busy looking through the few I have so I can get them to him. Bittersweet.

Sounds idyllic Suse... I love the sea. x

 

[Spinoza]

I want chocolate. Or else I want wine. There - I've said it! I'm a chocowinoholic!

Will of course have neither - I'm using the pie as a substitute.

 

[ditzeeblonde]

Good for you WW.... I haven't faired quite so well tonight! :cry:

 

[ladyfelsham]

LOL enjoy the pie, hun. I haven't made it for a while, can't be doing with the cream

And yes you are all welcome to stay - in fact, I insist upon it

Speaking of which, I'm thinking of doing a coach trip in May (if I'm working, of course) to the French and Italian Rivieras - anyone fancy coming? The hotel gets bad reviews on tripadvisor but a bed's a bed as far as I'm concerned Seen the same trip elsewhere for £200-300 more - Sapphire Coach Holidays - Italian and French Rivieras; Italy and France ‑ Hotel Delle Mimose

 

[Spinoza]

Aw Linzi, tomorrow is another day. Think of how good you'll feel when you hit target in April - and get that choc out of the house! xxx

Susie that holiday looks fab. And so cheap! Is it really all-inclusive at that price? Not open to me for various reasons, plus coach travel makes me very unwell, but I'm very envious.

 

[ladyfelsham]

Yep the only thing to pay for is meals when you're out and about and the optional trips, which usually cost about £20 each.

How awful that you can't travel by coach - I went to Italy in May this year and loved it, I'm a real convert. Just can't stand airports, planes, the whole flying experience, really

 

[Quak]

oooo I love flying! did not do it till I was 30 and was hooked - only bad experience was sharm airport last year - but we survived it lol

have done a coach trip to spain and not sure I could sit for that length of time these days............but it sounds great once you are there

Morning Susie.

Flying bores me, I must have more air miles that Andrew.

 

[LVLLM]

Morning Hon. I used to be scared of flying but fascinated by plane crashes. I still am a little scared but i love it!
Id love to come but im off to norfolk with the sausages in May babes x I took my decs down on sunday! was sick of em LOL.

I watched too fat for fifteen last night omg one 17yr old girl was 515lbs! amazing she has such determination to get it off though. Its a bit like a kids biggest loser.

 

[ladyfelsham]

Morning all

Flying visit this morning, got a couple of things to do in town - shame it's such horrible weather

 

[LVLLM]

morning oh no
