Jean have some time off until Steve gets home.Minols put some rice in a sock and heat it up in your microwave, then put it on your back. Lovely day here warm again but a nice breeze.

Evening!
Weird weather here today- cloudy & some rain this morning, hot & sunny this afternoon, then chilly, misty & windy tonight! You’re right, Nana, getting dark early 😖
Managed to keep Xena from knocking her tail, that’s 2 days now, hopefully it’ll heal, fingers crossed!
FD done, 817 cals with a cuppa tonight taking me just over. Hope I can do another one tomorrow…

I am also very hungry, not a good sign this early. The weather is lovely again today. Bad news about the covid outbreak in Yorkshire.Hope it dosen’t stop our holiday.Dosent seem to be an end to covid 😩.My son is making his dinner now so that dosen’t help my hunger.Minols hope your back is improving.

I am trying HH.Finding it difficult today but so far just 1 cuppa.

2 cuppas and a ginger stem biscuit.So under 100 calories so far but a real struggle.

Jean- so very sorry for you & Steve, terrible news, hoped it’d gone, he did so well with chemo & radiotherapy. Sending you love & hugs xx

Morning..
Walked Charlie…I didn’t sleep very well maybe 5 hours…Charlie knows I am upset, he is too..

Steve didn’t come home yesterday, I shall collect him later if they don’t release he will discharge his self, he wants to be home.

I have stayed the same this week.

Dave
Well done on 5 lbs off

Thanks everyone

Hedgehog..
They can organise oxygen but if you over do it, it can poison you maybe for the future..I feel much better this afternoon not so many tears…I have had a nap.
Still waiting to go for him..hospitals are so slow.

Glad Xenia’s got out of her do, I don’t like the squabbles they have sometimes.

Sorry on your HS family, you feel like your the only one…

Evening everyone, am getting bad at posting on here but to be honest there’s not a lot of difference in my life at the moment as I’m sure it’s the same for everyone else. Scales showed no loss yet again this morning but at least there was no gain. Trouble is now fingers crossed we get to go away on the 26th for a holiday to celebrate our Golden Wedding anniversary and I’m already starting to feel in the holiday mode.
Jean thinking of both of you
Hedgehogs well done to Xena. Sad about the home start family.
Hope everyone else is keeping okay and stay safe.
Nana x

We’re off to the Norfolk coast to stay at the same place that we spent our honeymoon

Afternoon All..
A lovely day…

A small walk, Charlie was walking lopsided, shaking his head, just 30 mins, he won’t be going far today..unless he picks up.

A vets visit with sore ears flapping for three hours overnight, he was beside him self..steroid injection and ear cream all in one go..£51..we have to go back next week.

A bit of shopping and some naughties for Steve….and I suppose me 😬

Dave..
Soon be holidays 🤞…..quite a bit of virus around us….Scarborough is bad…

Nana..
Hoping your golden wedding anniversary goes ahead…things are changing so quickly…

Hedgehog..
Coughing seems much better..long slow breathes if it starts…I am keeping away from people at the moment, I don’t feel like talking..people are always asking after Steve..

Have a good weekend..

Not cooking today, only the Yorkshire pudding.Bowling was good and playing again on Tuesday, were play the team who beat us last week. A lovely day yet again here, holidays a week tomorrow, just 4 nights. Jean stamp my passport. We will stay away from Scarborough. Going to Whitby and Bridlington though. Haddock and chips 😋😋😋😋😋.

A bit of sunshine this afternoon. Will take Tara out in a bit but she is having a snooze at the minute.

Doing some research into laptops as we want to buy one and get rid of our desktop pc.

Also trying to find a small wooden cabinet for on the landing, but its not easy!

Still hoping to go visiting family next Sunday, although expecting an announcement tomorrow about further restrictions. Its so annoying that this could have been prevented! Too many people with the ‘we are fine and its ok’ attitude. 😡

Eaten and drunk too much this weekend!! FD tomorrow. Not lost any weight this month as yet. A week to go!!

Kay x

I use an air fryer for chips, looking forward to using the new Ninja cooker when it comes. Looks good for breakfast, you just put everything in the air frier and it takes 5 minutes, obviously the eggs are doing seperatly.The bacon goes crispy sausage well done 🤞

Evening!
Jean- glad that you & Steve have had some sleep, & hope you can get a scooter to go in the car…Yes, son will definitely lose his license, that’s why he has to attend court, he had hoped to plead guilty in absence, he’ll have to take his test again.
Nana- exciting getting ready for your holiday! Hope you don’t usually get any side effects of the jab? Enjoy all the visits!
Kay- hope you do get away too…good luck with the laptop- our ‘technical advisor’ (eldest!) recemmended ours, saved us trying to do the research!
Dave- well done with the bowling, & hope the roast is good! The amount of fried breakfasts I do I think I coukd do with one!
Had a lovely walk on the beach with Xena, although as she goes loopy & charges all over the place when she’s 1st let off we have to keep her on the lead a bit longer, it’s been so busy this summer. She found yet another ball, getting very good sniffing them out everywhere we go!
Got rather hangry cooking dinner tonight- disgraced myself & said a very rude word which of course son heard, I don’t let them say it at home 😱 I won’t hear the end of it now! Feel better now we’ve eaten. Hoping to go back to ADF liquid FDs for change next week, although after today’s hangriness I don’t know if I’ll manage 😂
Have a good evening!

Good afternoon.My Ninja cooker is being delivered today, pity it’s a fast day but it will help, especially the air frying. Can’t wait to cook a steak, I will use the probe to get it how I want it. Definitely won’t be pink(yuk).Minols how is your back, better I hope. Going on a mini holiday next week, 4 nights unless we go into lockdown 😫.

Hi All

Just catching up on the news, cos weekend was busy – domestic Saturday, and full on work yesterday.

Sorry to hear the news about Steve, Jean – we’ll be hear as much as we can be, we’ll try not to keep asking, so just know in the background you and he are never far from our thoughts, and post as much or as little as you like.

Scooter sounds fab! And of course, with your biking history…! My scooter is currently in rather more than 4 bits just now…OH got bored the other week when I was working hard, and as all his cars are currently all in perfect driving order but not allowed out for the winter, he started taking the moped to pieces to just deal with this little bit of rust, then that little bit, then replace the mirrors, then put yellow stripes on my perfectly lovely black mudguards…he’s a nuisance that man. Why he can’t just help with my de-stressing jigsaw puzzle I don’t know!

HH – hadn’t picked up on your boy’s speeding…which takes me back to my plan for the scooter…figure if that’s the first vehicle the boy has in 6 years time…! Nuisance you were caught out swearing! I have 2 favourite words, one beginning with ‘s’, and the other with ‘b’ – really effective when used in repetition over a short burst! Dreading the day the boy hears them, so reduced to fierce muttering!

Trying to keep nice and low every day this week – another month is nearly up!

Mx

My ninja is all set up ready to go. I am having salad so will try it out on Denise. Sausage,bacon. Will experiment with timing to get the bacon and sausage to her Liking.

Evening everyone, not had a FD today as we had our flu jabs this afternoon but kept it low and have come in at 1250 calories allowing for a cup of choc options later on. Decided to walk over to get the jabs done so have walked 7 1/2 miles today as we also did our usual daily constitutional walk this morning.
Jean glad you’ve managed to get a scooter for Steve will be nice for both of you to get out and about. My uncle treated himself to one a few weeks ago and it’s really made a difference to my Aunt and Uncle being able to get out.
Hedgehogs a good day with mum by the sound of it.
Dave how was the Ninja.
Hello everyone else and hope you’re keeping okay and stay safe.
Nana x

Evening!
Jean- just take each day as it comes, enough things to worry about right now without counting cals & feeling guilty. Scooter sounds great, glad you could get one!
Minols- always thought it must be nice to have a handy husband, but not so sure now! Hope your scooter is done soon! Back in the days when Skoda’s & Lada’s first came over here, my cousin got caught speeding in Grandad’s old one…who’d have thought that it could go that fast! So your son might manage it! Hope you can have a low week 😁
Dave- I’m sure the ninja will be good, I hope Denise enjoys her dinner; very good of you to cook it & not eat any 😇
Had a nice trip out with Mum, got lots done so very successful! She enjoyed it too, I guess it’s the dementia, she spends days dithering & not getting round to anything. Kept me busy enough to not miss food- Mum said again how easy it is for me & how I can eat what I like, grrr! & then said I was fine & didn’t need to lose any weight- lovely!- but then turned round & said ‘mind you, your thighs do look quite big’!! Bless 😂
Any way, managed a liquid one today, maybe at some point my thighs might shrink 😂

Morning!
Breakfast was good this morning! A bit earlier than I’d like though, was awake at 5am. Eldest is off early so is coming for a walk with Xena & I.
Hope you all have a good day…

Route march with son, needed a sit down when I got home! Sat outside for a while- will be the last sunny day for a bit. Dug up some more potatoes, still getting a few courgettes & beans, cauliflowers are a disaster though! Planted up some more pansies, did housework & ironing again so busy afternoon. Eaten well today 😖.
Sounds like not too much altering with the new rules- at least your holidays should be okay Nana & Dave?! Just no going out until 1am clubbing…

Morning All…
Drizzle sort of day, we got wet on our last 5 mins of walk…a bit of a late start so the morning has gone..

We are going out to a local restaurant tonight for a meal, It’s usually very nice..

Nana..
Our jabs on Saturday, I suppose best to be done….lovely surprise in the garden for you..a happy 50th Anniversary, not sure when your date is…

Hedgehog..
Will the license effect your sons job, just thinking when I was walking….your poor legs I am sure your mums wrong…a busy day for you yesterday..well done..

Nana and Dave..good the holidays can continue…

A miserable day ahead…keep dry…

Jean x

Afternoon!
Jean- hope you have a nice meal out! Is Charlie okay being left, or is it dog friendly? Josie didn’t mind being left in the day, but in the evening seemed a bit bothered! I don’t think Xena minds!
Son can hopefully bike to work, although coming up to winter won’t be good, I guess we’ll take him in sometimes. He won’t be able to drive the delivery vans obvs, he’s helped out a bit with that sometimes, & he won’t be able to go out to other stores to help with training like he did last week. Public transport is rubbish here so not an option!
Dave- do not get into holiday mode yet, too early! Did you buy any steak for your ninja? I did used to stay out later than 1am back in my younger days…
Nana- not long until your break, when’s the actual day?
Doing another liquid fast today, not too hungry so far. Stayed mostly dry for our walk so did a long one, & some scent work in the garden too. Have been given a few books, one’s calling me!

Evening everyone it’s turning out to be a busy week so far and definitely too many calories as have had two wedding anniversary cakes made for us so far this week and the champagne that goes with them.
Jean hope you and Steve enjoyed your meal out.
Hedgehogs our anniversary is not until Saturday. Is it your sons court case this week.
Dave sounds like your getting into using your Ninja.
Enjoy the rest of your evening everyone and stay safe.
Nana x
