Ha,ha, girls! In the end it all comes down to what ya see is what ya get! Alziemers might be a blessing! The broom is charged, off I go to the underworld! Prepare ye! Salad is a luxury we should not take for granted! Yes, CG I am on the rabbit’s food. Gaaark! But fasting doesn’t bode well for the wafties. In the end, my hallucinations are verified. Erk! others sing of it far better than I…..

I leave you with the possibility that a large slice of cheese cake might not be a bad thing! At least that’s my story and I’m sticking to it! Tomorrow is another day. It’s looking warmish for our heroes…..sigh.. I’m off to bed in air conditioned comfort. April is still bloody hot up here!….. I hope it’s only the weather…..nite all xxgyps
Buggar!!! 😡😡Just lost a long post. Here it is again in summary form. Can’t do all the bells and whistles again.
physio gave the all clear to try the treadmill. Just have to take it easy and not undo all the good I have done so far. So will start tomorrow .
Gyps..love that you are enjoying your new project so much🌟✨💫 Love your imgination💕💕💞🌟
Fit. The opera. What a cultured lady!🎭🎭🎟
Jade. Congrats on cracking the NUT!!💐💐🎉
CG. Back to 68!! Well done those liquid fast sure do the trick.
GG . My wish for you ” May you always have someone who knows the song in your heart, and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words” 🎤💖
SJ . Excitement must be building. Hope preparations for trip going well. Congrats on getting through the open studio and is that dinner out a certain thing ? 🍽🌹
Big hi to everyone else, hope that you are having lovely days and peaceful nights!
💜💜💜💜💜
Morning Fit!! I haven’t written the email yet, fell into bed myself after a fried chicken attack followed by an attempt to grade exams. Talk about hit and miss…well anyway I caught up with sleep and now after hearing Edda Moser I and GOOD AND AWAKE but must now do a car-wash type get and go to make my first meeting. I will get you details today but YAY so excited!! 🎉🎉🎉🍷🍷💕💕😍 Will catch up with everyone in a bit ♥️ jade xxx
PH, just love all kinds of music (and dance) but got the love of classical music from my dad. I hate when I lose a long post….it’s a bummer! Brilliant that you got the ok from the physio but gently does it….no conga lines on the treadmill, please! 👯💃👯💃👯💃
Jade, hope you’re getting all the nasty chores out of the way so that you’ll be free in every sense to have a great holiday over here. 💚👍😃
Mornin’ CG! You’re so right…..we all need to make the most of life and take pleasure in every little beautiful moment that comes our way. I had a lovely meal out with my d, her friend, my other d and OH before dropping the girls back to the airport. Just got a text to say they got back to the UK safe and sound, so I can go off to bed with no worries now.
Enjoy your day and weekend, everyone! Don’t forget to stop and smell the roses 🌹🌹🌹🌹
Hi folks still here CG just busy busy. Don’t leave till next Tuesday at nearly midnight. But once the studio is open each day my computer is no longer available as it’s right in the middle of the action! Also busy cleaning when I can for our house guests who are using our house while we’re away.
OH is happy as he has sold 9 paintings. All small ones so not big prices but will cover all his framing costs etc. Our numbers have almost doubled this year as people pass the word around. Any more sales from here might be my dinner out 🙂
Don’t have time for individual replies but am reading all on my mobile during the day. Thx Gyps for your words to suijin xx
Attempting a FD today see how I go. Have physio this morning -last attempt to get my back/neck sorted and a funeral of a lady I know this afternoon. Love and hugs to all. CG wonderful weigh-in!! Open Studio finishes Sunday than think I’ll crash in a heap!!! But of course that only leaves us a day and a bit to get ready to leave! Yikes we thought that was a good idea when we booked the trip……didn’t want to hang around waiting. But we’re pretty ready really….just not able to pack the cases till Sun night or Monday but do have things sorted. Suejen xxxx
ps have even bought the foods son has requested!! Crumpets-don’t make in America (we freeze them first) mars bars/picnics/cherry ripes (all available there but very different sweeter recipes!!!
Hi there SJ, you’re certainly keeping busy but I’m sure it’s all worth it. It’s great to have sold several paintings already and I’m sure more sales will follow. Word of mouth is always the best kind of advertising. I hope you get your back and neck sorted before you set off on your travels. Best of luck with everything! 👍😃
Very quiet thread, folks! Are you all starting your weekend early? 🍹💃🍷☀️💐😎
Weighed in this morning at exactly the same as last week so that’s ok because I had three meals out and only semi fasts but they seemed to do the trick! Best foot forward for next week! ✊💪👍💚
Hi CG! Yes, I’m pleased with that result and I want to do some proper fasting and get down to where I was last summer before all my social events kick in again! Beautiful day here again, it’s been a fabulous week with lots of sunshine. I’ll be busy with my sister today but hopefully I can get out for a walk later on.
So excited to be emailing with Jade about coming to Ireland at the end of May…..it’s going to be brilliant! Our own mini WTF to keep us going until the main event in 2017! 😉💞💚😃
Hi gang! Oh indeed, CG, you are quite the miracle worker (much like Cigi as I was reading last night✨) – and not talking weight or health so much as your bringing people together across the world. Gosh what a thing!! From Australia, friendships including a yank and an Irish lass. There is a book in there. Right Gyps?? Fit I truly have to finish the skype setup so we’ll recognize each other😍🍷☘ (ha how did that wine sneak in there!). Way to go on the maintenance with meals out, those are my downfall. And having fun with your lovely daughters – hugs to you, I know it’s hard to see them leave. Gosh what are the chances we could get some photos in a pub?? Pretty darn good I’d say! 🍻
Sue good grief I didn’t realize you were still doing the open houses, talk about Aussie determination💪 Glad the sales have been brisk – even if small things, the word will get out — and how grand to know his work is being spread far and wide 🤗 You have sure set a tight schedule for yourself, I hope your trip gives you some time to relax. Ha ha who am I kidding, but I know you’ll have fun! And I’m not shocked to hear about the extra sugar in American food. Makes me so mad!!
PH hooray on getting a chance at the treadmill! Take it nice and slow 🐢 that’s what I like about them, no need to go off like a gazelle. And be sure to hold on!! Sorry about the lost post, I’ve lost enough now that I almost always copy before I hit the submit button. Wouldn’t want to deprive you all of any of my brilliant musings….. 😆
Oh right, this is a health thread? I sorta slogged thru a FD yesterday (Thurs) – “sorta” b/c had a meeting with the dean and desperately needed peanuts beforehand (right??) and didn’t count those in my tally because it’s a new elfin rule I made up since reading about Tannouie and all her friends (finally met Neenie in the read before bed✨). But listen mates, any sort of control is good control in my world. ✅
Hugs to all my Aussies and have a lovely day everyone! I’m feeling quite lucky today ☘=🍀 😉😍jade xx
Jade, I think we owe it to the gang to get at least one photo of us in a pub….it will be tough, but I think it’s our duty! 😉 The Guinness tour ends with a drink in the sky bar ….a glass sided bar at the top of one of the city’s tallest buildings overlooking the whole cityscape….what d’ya think? Well done on your “sorta” FD, I had a few of those myself lately and they DO count! It’s way better than what we used to do before, right? So, 👏😇👍😃
Oh that would be perfect, Fit! I so wanted to get to Guinness last year, almost did, but OH was into the history and of course that was well worth it BUT…I spied Guinness when we were across the Liffey at Collins Barracks. Talked him into walking over, and we walked forever +2 but never got to the part where they actually let people in – ended up at a large train station and took that as a sign to stop wandering about like fools. Long story short, I would love to go and OH rather owes me that one. I tell you, the man searches for things to be somber about, plenty of that in any country’s history to be sure, but between you and me the man could use a good stiff stout or ten 😂🍺 💕 xx
ps oops didn’t mean to imply he doesn’t enjoy a good pint with a round of laughter! After all, he has stuck with me for many years now 😍 he’d have made a excellent catholic.
Funny you mention that, he has been listening to Irish ballads recently, was always a fan but now with a real sense of urgency (which is good as it appears we really Are going!). Cara Dillon can have him in tears in seconds. And his grandfather was a coal miner so all of those tales….he just thinks so deeply! So yes maybe he is Irish at heart? ☘💕 Me, I never cared for the frivolous boys, what can I say 😍xx
LOL Rickety tickety tin – hilarious 😂
Well, five AM here and I’m up and into it! So freaking hard to fit mundane housework and life on Earth in with the Fairies schedule! They are literally zapping around my rainforest! I’m sure of it! What a buzz!
Heh, heh, writing fiction can be brain warping when one is sitting on the deck at midnight, staring into the scrub, seeking the images required for a fictional trip to Hades. I mean, it’s dark down there, so I was in the dark, (wine in hand)trying to figure out what one could see in the dark. Awkward medium to work with, the dark. Especially when one is attempting to shed light on ‘stuff’…..So the first step into the first door of Tanouie’s travels to the underworld have been eluding me…..
The cicaders were on a roll. That constant bzzzzz that just sinks into one’s brain in the country. Until one doesn’t even notice it, but it sort’ve raises the vibration of life in a forest. A frog Garrrks and you know a snake’s dining, that’s life. A woodchuck warbles, disturbed, wings flutter off.The occasional whoop of a hoot owl and the sudden scream of a curlew, all blend into the dark, mysterious depths of dense scrub. I love it. It is my sanctuary. Even the great Snake of all wisdom belongs to my rainforest. I sit out there and it takes me wherever I want to go….. And then I heard the bloodcurdling roar of a an old man croc that prowls the river, just beyond the scrub belt (about 50 metres, when it’s not flooding, then it reaches my deck). I swear, I was so deep in thought on the matter I bloody freaked when my scrub lit up with a swarm of fire flies! At the same time as the very image of evil was evoked by the croc!
Gaaark! Nature! you can’t beat it for besting man’s best attempts to copy it! It was all there, the impressions of lurking, slithering evil in the midst of souls screaming and then along came the fairies and their brave little lights!
Feck! Who’s telling this story, me or them?!! It is not easy being a telegraph pole! Fiction writers enter dimensions of the brain sane folk don’t meddle with! So I wrote the FANFARE ADDRESS, and have been doing mundane things for a few days to come back to Earth! Please all have a look at it and let me know if you think it’s too ‘out there’. for your tastes. It seems ‘Charlotte’ is joining Zelda as one of my scapegoats for ??multiple personality disorder? Or what?! Brilliance would be good, but the punctuation ain’t up to it….cackle… I’ll settle for ‘not too much egg on face’… Notably there are no comments appearing under most chapters, so am I just being a big embarrassment? …. thoughts team. it’s your reps I’m scandalizing! and definitely off topic!
Nevertheless! CG, I’m on track! it’s most slimming, I hadn’t cooked a decent meal all week. OH was batching!
so Jade, your OH would find a sounding board on history most drear in the leprechaun. I swear he seeks out the grim facts of every situation….. and never misses a wake. Not to mention the opportunity of a Guinness! Do hope I see you all in OZ. Better go see what the wild garden looks like in daylight. Errk! weeds! About as prolific as my ravings….. toodleoo, for now. xxxgyps
Bless you, Fit! I feel better now!…..um….but for the upcoming foray of the delectable, virginal, Tanouie, into the devilish Nitas’s lair, (for the comfort of your spouse, not to mention the kids)- you might like to come to an understanding that it’s only the personification of your ‘traits’ I’m shamelessly using (to save the bother of invention), and then only very loosely. I mean, you are not at all ‘loose’, of course,(that’s the point) though most determined (a tad stubborn, even?), plus too enlightened to be tolerant of dark matters for long. So sparks will definitely ignite many aspects of the deep, dark, places of the sinfully sunken. Who require a little spiritual lift! behind the ear and possibly other places. but rest assured, there’s no explicits. Please! We’re British! ( at least Charlotte is – it’s my grandmother incarnate – And my middle name…..Deeep..but I am what I am…. the collective DNA of my origins…. and I cling to the one thing gran always drummed…”beware the illusions of the flesh…. :no fable is without foundation..”) ….. Chuckle… Ta for being a good sport…. xx gyps
Morning all,
Gyps…well done on chapter five. I have read and commented. You really got the old heart racing for Touanie’s safety. She sure is in a scary place. Loved the description in the thread of your sounds from outside at home. You sure have a way of connecting with nature. Try not to let it take over your life though as you are also a living breathing wonderful woman. Is there a timeframe you have to keep or do you set it yourself? Be sure to look after yourself through the process💕💕💕
Jade and Fit. Just love the banter between you two! 😍😂. You will have a fabulous time when you meet us. I would love to set up a Skype time with you when you are together if it is possible. We will have to work on that. Planning a holiday get together is half of the fun I always think,and you two sure are doing that. 🙁🎉🍀🍻🍹🍺.
Well did weigh yesterday and same same again. Although have not been tracking my food. It is so hard getting back on the straight and narrow. I am really struggling…Will give it my best shot again next week.
Far too many things going on. All good though. Had a good day yesterday. Started another pair of slacks for D for the cooler months so I could do a fitting when over at her place for lunch, my brother and his wife came for lunch also so a good catch up with them which turned into a long lunch so just got her kitchen curtains cut off to length while hubby and D did some work in the yard. Called in at Woolgoolga for Indian takeaway on the way home and then settled in to watch Friday Rugby League 🏈🏈with a few scotches!! Naughty, Naughty, Naughty …again. 🍹🍹🍹🍹
Today I have an appointment with the exercise physiologist at the Gym to set my program at 11am and then back to Woolgoolga for an afternoon of bridge with some ladies I play with on Thursdays. 🏃🏃♠️♣️♥️♦️
CG. Life is so busy at the moment I have not had a chance to start your cap, will make it a priority next week..hope you have a nice weekend.
SJ. So much to do…so little time for you too. So pleased about the sales for OH and I am sure you are all organised, being the very organised lady that you are. Love the food requests from your son.
Well gals…must get going, shower, dress and off for the day. Thinking of having a sort of Fast … To help with my overdoing it last night. 💜💜💜💜
PH, it would be great fun to Skype while Jade is in Ireland….we must try and work that out. You sure have a very busy social life……good on ya! Looks like there are a few of us ‘sorta’ fasting these days! But that’s definitely better than not fasting at all and staying the same is better than gaining! I was hoping to get back on the straight and narrow myself next week but I already have two lunch dates! Eeek! 😳
Hi, back again in between chores. Fit, you’re a doll! Thanks all, for the great comments. Here and on the Wattpad site. You will find I left replies there for you. Can I just ask you all, if you want your interest to be counted (and improve the story’s ratings) can you ckick on the star in the comments section below chapters and VOTE for each chapter as you read it(only if you endorse it, of course). Plus if you go to Charlotte’s profile page and click ‘follow’ (up in the right corner) then it counts rating wise, also lets the notifications of new chapters go to your email. So I can stop cluttering up this thread with up dates for you on your fate in Hades!
Point is well taken from PH and CG, time to knuckle down on the reality front and get a bit ship shape. I haven’t exercised like I should and I’m seizing up! I’ll be sore tomorrow from pulling weeds so off for a walk before it happens.
PH, re time frame for the writing project, I aim at one chapter per week, uploading Fridays. Not sure how long it will be. Original challenge was for 10,000 words on the ‘other world’ theme. but we’ll just see what pans out. thanks all. off for a walk. xx gyps
HI ladies
Gee time flies. I dont think i posted last week. I did a FD this week and another two low cal days in amongst it as i had an odd week really. Anyway i dropped a kilo so am 117 now. Thats 24kg gone in 6 months. I enjoy my fast day and now i dont have to take tablets before and after every meal, i skip brekkie on fast days. Leaving for work now at 7am precludes breakfast for the most part anyway and by the time my head lifts its lunchtime. I have been cooking up soup for lunch.
Hopefully this week i will hear whether i get an interview for that job. It closes on 27th. Nevertheless i will start to look around as this travel does my head in.
We are running an ANZAC service at Pyrmont on Monday. My job of course is to ensure that the food for 500 is ready by 9:30am including pastries and heating up a stack of pies and sausage rolls. The week after this i am spending in the jail sitting at a table with six prisoners, listening to talks, doing craft and being force fed treats all day. The last role i had at the prison was taking care of the food for 60 people for 3 meals a day and i spent the day on my feet, never ate much at all as there wasnt time and lost 3kg. This time i will have to try and not gain. I think i will pretend to be gluten intolerant for the 5 days :). This will be my biggest challenge in the 6 months I started on this healthy lifestyle change. I will have absolutely no control over what i eat from Mon-Fri. The only choice i will have is whether to eat or not to eat…
GG the doc put me on Sporonax. Now i have to have liver function tests every few weeks. I still wonder if the cure is worse than the disease but then the disease is pretty bad too.
Thinking of you all.Been wearing my Aussie Determination tshirt and hat as i do my steps in Annandale.
Love
Anne
Gyps, you’re more than welcome! It’s a great thrill and I’m just loving your use of all those fab characters to channel the wonderful traits, talents and gifts of the amazing ADers! ✊💕💚👍
Annie, lovely to hear from you. That’s a brilliant loss so far, in very difficult circumstances. I hope everything works out for you on the job front and I wish you strength and Aussie determination in your fasting and resisting temptation. Keep up the great work! 😇👍💪✊💕😃
Thanks Fit. Today I went to the city and bought some new clothes to treat myself, because the old ones were too baggy. I have gone down 2 sizes in everything and even managed 3 sizes down on a pair of trousers on sale. No wonder my pants were baggy.
I also bought some suede boots. Very nice…not on sale 🙂
I then came home and threw out all the larger size stuff as the rule I have made for myself is that if i buy something…i then chuck something else out ie donate to goodwill. I have a big bag to drop off tomorrow. All my summer stuff is now in the drawer and the winter stuff on display. I am sitting here with my electric rug over me. Its wet and cold today and i feel autumn has finally arrived.
Anne
Hi everyone…its been a busy day .I totally clesned our on suite bathroom from top to bottom…..love a sparkling bathroom !Day was also a fast day for me . So keeping busy made it all the more successful. Did not eat until 6pm tonight…..just a liquid fast…plenty of water and tea.Bad week last week pain in yhe neck ,drugs,no exercise ,comfortfood and the party. put on 2kgs so the work of getting back to 75kgs is on…..also brought digital scales yesterday which should tell me the truth I hope!!!!!
ANNIE….what fabulous news ….your a girl after my own heart! Love shopping for clothes, 👗👕👢👚👡👠👜👒💄
whether thair on sale or not.I am also hopping that over the next few weeks you will be feeling better once your new medication kicks in.All will equal out in the process the cure is the goal…much better not to have the condition. You are doing so well ! Keep your AUSSIE DETERMINATION STRONG…YOU CAN DO THIS!
THANKS TO ALL THAT CONTRIBUTED TO MY WISH JAR…..Its getting full.
FIT AND JADE……your banter is infectious. When do you 2 meet up in May….JADE GET THAT SKYPE UP SOON!
FIT…Iam worried for Taunoie….do not like that Nitas….he is danger…
GYPS…I have very fine fairie lights all through my house in the floral arrangements. ..am hoping for visitors of the farie kind . What an inspiration your garden is for the story…though I think they live there anyway.I am so enjoying the story!
SJ …..YOU have been so busy with things….are you all packed?not long go.You look so good in the pics with your grandchildren…very happy and proud.
CG…..SO pleased Glenn was excited ….he will have a wonderful time. You are so clever being able to sew,taking your clothes in and alterating them etc …my girlfrirnd does that for me.I am not that talented in that area.
PH….well fone on being able to use the treadmill… and organising appointment at the we will not recognise you next year. Well done.
Catch you tomorrow …..good morning FIT AND JADE ….SLEEP WELL WITH LOVELY DREAMS TEAM……GO GALXXXXX
GG i normally detest clothes shopping and shoe shopping is worse when you have wide feet. Its quite normal for me not to be able to find shoes that fit. These suede boots were a pure indulgence in one way but i will wear them all winter and my winter shoes from last year have holes now and i actually bought them a year or two before last winter.
It was nice to fit into size 18 trousers though and to keep trying on clothes and finding them too big. I bought a top that i tried on at the beginning of summer that looked awful. Now it looks great and was on special so i bought it in black and royal blue. It was a bit heavy for summer so it will be good for work which gets stuffy (although i hope not to be there too long). When i was doing the big chuck out i found some swimmers which i bought in from the USA at the beginning of last year and they did not come anywhere near me. They are the kind that are like a body suit and have legs built in. Kinda like old fashioned surf lifesaving kit. Anyway they fit now.I am pretty happy with that.
Ive been working on a recipe for FD (well anytime really) which is a shepherds pie with a cauliflower and pumpkin mash topping instead of potato. I am sticking some cannelini beans in it to spin it out with carrot, zucchini, mushies, onion, garlic and celery with some passata for good measure. It works out at 255 calories per serve (340g) which i think is great. I am also making some red lentil Dal which is 127 calories per serve for lunch on FD. Two hearty meals for 382 calories. Add some homemade hommus and 1/3 of a slice of leb bread and i will roll in at just under 500 for the day. I really enjoy making up recipes then putting them through myfitness pal to work out the calories. I guess its the accountant in me.
If you have any good recipes for hearty winter dinners please let me know. I made chilli last week and really enjoyed it with some corn tortillas and a bit of lite sour cream.
Anne
Great to have you back, GG! I’m thrilled you had such wonderful birthday celebrations and I have no doubt those extra kg will be gone in no time at all! Well done on getting back into fasting successfully so soon, it’s not easy when you’ve been in pain as well as celebrating. How is your neck now? I pulled something in my lower back during the night (not like that, ladies!😉) so I’m moving very gingerly today. I was supposed to take part in a charity walk this morning but had to pull out…..very annoying! 😤 Congrats too on your sparkling en suite…..very satisfying. I was halfway through doing all the bed linen after my d and her friend had left, but can’t finish it now ☹️
Enjoy the rest of the weekend, everybody, and find some ‘me’ time! Tanouie’s orders! 👍😃💚💕
Brilliant ideas for the fd meals, Annie! Would you be able to put them on the AD recipe thread? If you haven’t time, don’t worry about it. I love the healthy take on shepherd’s pie….well done! Don’t feel one bit guilty about those boots….it’s worth spending money on good footwear, especially when it’s hard to find. Isn’t it fantastic to find things that fit properly now when they didn’t before? Woohoo! Size 18 sounds amazing, you should be so proud of yourself 👏😇👍
Sleepyhead here – wow almost 10 a.m.😮 but had bad insomnia all week so it’s good to catch up.
Hey there Annie! Well done with the lost kgs, the chuck outs and the “chuck ins” with new clothes and oh la la, suede boots not even on sale! Love it – a well deserved treat. I’m like you, hate to clothes shop but it’s great to have new things that fit. Fingers crossed for snagging an interview! Oh and thanks for that idea for shepherds pie, which we love – subbing the cauli on top is brilliant. I need to sub cauli for a LOT of things I’ve been noshing lately.
Ha GG, back from Port Douglas and scrubbing the en suite, but you make it sound almost fun 😉 – well, it is fun when it’s done, that’s true! Glad you had a good time and I do hope your neck is better? You sound happy (my “wish” for you, simple though it may be). I love the word sparkle. Gyps, can you make Jaddai sparkle at some point? Not sure elves can do that. I have not gotten to the latest chapter but I LOVE it so far. Aside from the great story, it’s so meticulously detailed! Makes my heart skip a beat with pleasure. And yes GG I promise I will set up Skype as soon as finish the god-awful other writing I must read 😫
Oh dear, Fit, tone down those wild nighttime gyrations, would you? 😂 I find that surrounding oneself in bed with soft, warm, furry creatures usually protects again any mishaps. I can tell you that OH has petted the wrong thing a time or two.😏 Ha, we may have to take care when we meet in Dublin not to bear-hug each other into the hospital.😅
CG, PH, both of you put me to shame with your talents. Anything I sew or mend looks as though it needs more mending than it started with. CG your descriptions of Gippsland sound so beautiful – I googled the address on your package and felt as if I’d taken a real tour. What I saw looks like our area in some ways – I will have to send you some photos 🌌♥️ PH, I had a similar evening, vodka and bbq with some baseball. Fun, but right, a bit naughty! Ah well, both aspects were well enjoyed!
Oops, it’s well past my usual Sat chore time, better run get that done. The pups are standing at the ready, they LOVE recycling! 🐶🐶 Happy weekending to all 🔆🔆💕 jade xxx
Hi there Jade!
Don’t even have the excuse of gyrations…..just scooched back from the edge of the bed and my lower back decided it didn’t like that particular manoeuvre, so now it’s gone on strike! So, it looks like it will be very gentle hugs in Ireland, I reckon! Ha, ha…..I’m surrounded by my very own furry creature in bed, my OH has a beard! 😉😂
Sorry to hear you haven’t been sleeping so well. I hope you get some proper rest over the weekend. At least, you have your Irish trip planned now, so that’s one thing off your list! Enjoy those pups and try get some rest if you can. 😴😘💚💕💞
I knew we’d force an explanation out of you, dear Fit – hope you feel better, take it easy whatever you have planned this weekend! Lol, the beard!! And yes, as a matter of fact, Ireland was keeping me up, first b/c of trying to plan it just so, then worrying about OH, then pure relief and excitement. He has since adjusted magnificently to the idea and I am ever more relieved and excited. Lol, my poor brain is on constant overdrive and for no good useful reason. 😜 Ok, gentle hugs it is – ♥️ xx
Oh poor you Jade…. I thought as much! You’re so caring and thoughtful, being mindful of everyone’s needs except your own. I’m so glad your OH is all on board with the plans now. I think you deserve a large glass (or two) of something nice to restore your nerves and get you nice and relaxed before bed! 🍷🍹😇💞💚
Total selfish ulterior motive, but thanks Fit – high praise coming from Tannouie! ✨ And we’ll just call that glass of something nice “vodka” and it was very relaxing 👍 indeed! Here’s to luck and fortune 🍀☘🍸I’m off to the garden with some lavender and flowers, might even paint the patio chairs with any leftover energy 💪 🌈xx💚
Hi all, good day yesterday and so far so good with the gym. No pain today after my 20 minutes yesterday. Fingers crossed!!!🏃🏃💪💪
CG I too am having a sewing day today. Finally have one at home. Hope yours goes well. I am going to make the pattern for your cap today and see how it works out. Beautiful day here ..just love this time of the year. Also starting to record my food today….must get back to being serious about my plan.
Annie. Well done!! You never cease to amaze. 😇😇😇🤗🤗🤗 You are really committed to this way of life and put me to shame. I would love it if you could manage to put those Recipies on the thread also. They sound delicious. How good is it to get new clothes and be able to throw out the big ones. I just love it. Hope you get news about your application soon you certainly deserve some good luck.
Fit. What a bummer about the back pain. Remember to use hot packs and rest it!! 💕💕
Jade. You must have endless energy. What a gal. 🌷🍃🍂🌸🌺🌻 Have a nice day in the garden.
Gyps. Can you check that I am following you and my comments are in the right place. I find the web site a bit confusing, do love what you are doing and enjoying it immensely. Have a great day as Gyps today in the garden tackling all those weeds. 🌾🌱🍃🍂🍁
GG. Lovely to have a great sparkling bathroom. When do you leave for Port Douglas? These birthday celebrations could go on for the rest of the year. I always think that the big ones should be celebrated for at least a month…not just one day. So go gal and enjoy 🎉💐💐💕💕
SJ. Last day of Open Studio!!! Yeah!! What an achievement. 🤗😍😍🤗💐💐💐
