Hi all
I’m with HH – time to get strict! Had a good day yesterday – omelette, and a tiny amount of curried chicken /rice for tea (it’s one the butchers makes up and it’s awesome!). Only weakness was some chocolate, but I think 8’ll still have been well under 1000.

Today I’m not going to eat until soup and bread during a lunch meeting at a farm shop cafe (sure it will be yummy), and then I’ll have a tiny slice of pie (same butcher) and lots of veg tonight… That’s the plan!

Jean – didn’t know you could freeze scones. I love the savoury scones that Dobbies serve with soup – so that might be an idea. Of course the best thing is an excessively cheesy scone but they wouldn’t stand a chance of making it to the freezer! Not that I’ve ever made them – would not be able to compete with those made by a kiwi called Jeremy who ran a cafe round the corner from my last place in NZ… The ruin of many a good intention!

Hope everyone’s plans go well.

Good morning,just about.I was up late watching hockey,It’s a lovely day here today brilliant sunshine.I have wrote this week off as far as losing weight but will keep trying.Anyone fasting today,who has the baton?

Mel we can pick it up next week.Tempted to go bowling but not sure if I will.A woman just said to me dosent your dog walk to heel very well, I said it’s because she is old.I never liked dogs walking to heel, I like them in front so I can see them otherwise it’s like walking on your own.

I had an hour bowling so aching a little now.If you have a Poundland nearby they are selling orange smarties and also sell pink smarties as well as the normal ones.I didn’t get any,but I had to pull my right arm away from them with my left hand,🤪🥴.Bought a few Christmas decorations so will put them up when I get time.

I wish we could put pictures on here.Heidi sleeps most of the day and night😁and you might know she just opened her eyes👀.

Dave..
Poor you hope your aches go soon….

Minols..
Baking buns!…didn’t know you baked!…for the boy(s)

Hedgehog..
Charlie isn’t still right looking very moth eaten..giving it until after Christmas then re group again at the vets…maybe….daughter says leave him, she’s been through it with her first Dally… Dally rally people say leave him to get over it, it takes time….it’s a Dally rash….a very bad one…

Hope you are feeling better and headaches gone…a good day and cuddle with your HS family…..your son still seeing the girlfriend..has she been to see you yet?

We are fasting tomorrow ..

Jean x

Morning all!
Nana- very good about hubby’s results! Enjoy your trips out, Saturday FDs are hard, hope yours goes well!
Jean- poor Charlie, I hadn’t realised Dally’s are so delicate! & not common either, hardly see any about now! We have met the girlfriend once, she was very nervous (what had he told her about us 😂😂), so probably didn’t see her at her best! But she’s a doggy person & Xena loved her so that’s good!
Will be waiting in for my washing machine to be repaired AGAIN- 3rd time they’ve been out in less than a year! Xena will not be pleased, & we have a visitor coming too, hope they’re not both here at the same time 😂. Another 800cals day for me, got woken at 5am as son’s on the early shift, so will be a long day!

Morning All…
We are fasting today…

Nothing much planned just dentist, a teeth clean and polish for me, then pop for some flour on the way back…

Nana…
Good news on hubby’s results..

Hedgehog..
The girlfriend a long way for a visit, you are not that frightening 😂 as long as you made her some biscuits it breaks the ice 😂..
Dally’s are a bit rare..they are strange the only dog with an extra gene to the rest of the dogs, and could get stones and crystals in water works, very similar to people with gout, so a diet low in purines is a must….then this blxxdy rash!…his coat has got his shine back I suppose a good sign….other than that they are quite fit.

Your poor washing machine that’s a nightmare…hope they sort it out.

Minols..
I have decided eggs on a fast day moves my weight, eg 2 eggs tonight 😂…good job Steve falls in…lovely baking with the little one I like that idea….

Have a good day..

Jean x

Are good I’m back😁.I don’t know if I should leave the weigh in until next Friday but it’s Friday the 13th😱😵😖.I will have gained this week but I haven’t been very bad.Very dull today but dry so far,think rain is in the way though.

Afternoon all

It’s a very wet day here again so far and I don’t think it’s going to get any better.

I wouldn’t say I’ve fallen off the wagon but covered it in petrol and set fire to it so no fast day today but maybe try again tomorrow.

Afternoon All…
Feeling very off and dizzy, hoping not the Nora Virus…trotting to the bathroom and feeling sickly…possibly the best day to have it…not feeling like eating…

Steves taken Charlie for his walk it’s bitter here…

Jean x

Hope it’s not, Jean, that’s nasty…hope you soon feel better.
Dave- I put on 4lbs last weekend with not sticking to keto & the Dutch goodies, see if you can equal that 😂
Haven’t weighed yet, will see if some’s come off with my 3 FDs…
Typhoo- 😂😂 burning the wagon!
I’m fed up with being cold 😞😬. Fasting makes it worse, but I’m usually cold anyway. Have got quite a few of the letters done today for my Christmas cards, been putting that off! Stir fry for dinner tonight.

Feeling very pleased with myself,Denise didn’t like the launcher on the Amazon fire tablet,too many icons for her liking,so I have managed to put a new launcher on it,it’s the best launcher on Android as far as I am concerned,it’s called Nova launcher,I have the paid version but the normal one is very good.Also the new case came today for it so now I close the case lid and it turns the tablet off and when I open the case it turns it on and starts up Nova launcher 😀😀😀.Took Heidi and she had her fix in the churchyard 😀.

I can always help if needed,no guarantee I will know what to do but generally I am ok.Watching the footie on Amazon again.Ordered an SD card for new tablet so I can download films to watch on the plane in march, I have prime and Netflix so should be ok for films from those two.

Evening everyone,
Thank you for the kind comments regarding the outcome of husbands blood test results – it’s always a nerve wracking time waiting for them luckily it’s only 24hrs.
Went to Ely this morning and it was foggy and cold but the sun managed to break through late morning. Had a pub meal this evening as it’s steak night Thursday and am absolutely stuffed – need to get my iron levels up as I’m booked to go blood doning on the 20th of this month.
Jean hope you’re feeling a little better now.
Hedgehogs well done on 3lbs off.
Dave glad Heidi got her fix today.

Dave I’m lucky that my medication 💊 doesn’t stop me from donating at the moment.

Didn’t do particularly well yesterday. Started eating junk at lunchtime… Really didn’t enjoy it which is good and didn’t eat as much as I could have, but really wish I’d had a good day.

Anyway today is a proper nfd – finishing at lunchtime to go to the Christmas Market with the boys as I won’t have much time with them this weekend.

Hope you’re feeling better, Jean. The boy woke up with a cough and he’s NEVER sick.

HH well done on the sneaky weigh in… Be brilliant if it stays off!

Quilt is all laid out on the floor at church waiting to be pinned, trimmed, boun and knotted. Looking pretty good🤔

On route to mums! A bit of a panic at the moment as downloaded tickets to train app and when I came to activate it, it says ticket expired! Ive double and triple checked the date and time!!!

Been a busy week, getting sorted for my trip and working. Made some mince pies yesterday but didnt really like the pastry, self raising flour and egg…

Havent managed any FDs this week and when I got on the scales this morning, they just said…low…
Sadly that means battery not me!

Hope you are all ok and not got your christmas heads on yet, its too early!

Kay x

I got dressed so no scales, will leave it until Friday the 13th 😱😱😱.At Denise’s mums now she is not a happy bunny,the carer’s have only just gave her breakfast.It absolutely poured down while I was on the motorway,yet people still drive way to fast,must be all brain-dead.Non of them leave a space in front of them so if one crashed they all would.Took Heidi out in the rain I will check in on her in a moment no doubt she will be sat on the sofa watching the telly 😀

Afternoon All…
I had a bad day yesterday finishing at bedtime by throwing up..feeling more myself but feel weak…Charlie was upset as I was asleep on the settee, crying and whining then he sat just staring at me apparently…bless him..

Steve 2 lbs off today, I lost half a pound….

Hedgehog..
Glad the 3 lbs has come off..I make a chocolate trifle, crumbled sponge and chocolate sauce with fresh cream in layers then it mingles doing it the day before eating, our favourite for Christmas or special times, it’s delicious…all families have their favourites…

Kay..
Hoping you got the tickets sorted out….everything is good on the computer until it goes wrong..have a lovely time..

Dave…
Are you watching Denise closely while she munches on….

Minols..
Enjoy the Xmas market later….I would love to see your quilt finished…

Nana..
A lovely steak night….and too much to eat..

I am not doing anything still not too good…at least I have stopped all the nasties.

Had a lovely meal out last night. Today eating like there is no tomorrow. But there is and I hereby declare tomorrow as a FD800. Shoot me if I fail. Got to pick that baton up, I just keep kicking it away!

Hallo everyone.
Sorry been a bit quiet. Have been very busy.
Cards done and presents wrapped and almost done.
Have had major problems with water here. Toilet cisterns leaking and new ballcock needed which did not fit old plumbing. Back and forth to shop plus water on and off plus buckets to fill cistern. Then discovered pipe in airing cupboard had been leaking and towels and sheets soaking wet. All in all it’s been a busy and stressful few days. As a result all thoughts of dieting out of the window, so much stress.
Crossing fingers nothing else will go wrong.
Not planning any fast days as such now before Christmas as meals out season has started. Have increased walking and will try not to go mad on days not eating out.
I wish you all success in any planned fast days.
Blood test next week so hope result is good and can reduce steroids. On that subject have done quite a bit of research and it seems to maintain without further gain will be a major achievement so may have to settle for that until dosage is lower. At the moment I seem to be fluctuating between the same 2 lbs so will try to keep it at that.
Regards annabelle

Evening All..
A very lazy day for me……managed my two walks, called and got some trousers for Steve. Still feeling off ish but much better than yesterday..could have been the sandwich when we went out the other day but you can pick up bugs anywhere.

Mell..
Keep strong for holding the baton…the gun is waiting…..

Hedgehog..
Holiday in Thailand sounds lovely something for him to look forward too…

Annabelle..
What a nightmare for you..things can only get better..just do the Christmas lunches and start here again in January we all will have a bit of weight to loose…hoping you can reduce your steroids that will help a lot..

Dave..
Orange cake sounds a lovely birthday cake 😀..it will be hard for everyone these next few weeks…all re group in January..

Jean x
