Evening everyone,

Sitting here chilling with a nice rum and come after having a chicken kebab which was lovely. Went to use our car this morning and the battery was totally dead. Hadn’t used the car since Thurs of last week but husband had left dash camera switched on apparently which drained the battery – charged up and fine now. We were going into Cambridge to go to hotter shoes to buy some new walking shoes for me in readiness for our holiday next week so it will be Monday now.
Jean glad you’ve had a relaxed day you deserve it 💕.
Dave have to admit because I know holiday is coming up I’m getting a bit lackadaisical with regard to my fasting days – must rein it in.

Morning All..
Just realised it’s Saturday..fell out of bed and got to park at 8am…park run starts at 9 so car park gets full, then football…as they started the run we got out of the car park quick..it’s so hectic….we had a good walk.

Late breakfast for us both, a cuppa now watching Saturday Kitchen, I do like James Martin….lazy morning and a short walk before setting off to hospital…

Hedgehog..
Posh do that sounds interesting….are you sharing where you are going….enjoy your holiday mode day…I really should take the advantage of being on my own and go low…I was going to the shops after park but too hot for Charlie in the car, I will go after hospital…prawns tonight I think for me…

Mel..
Hope you are feeling better…

Have a good weekend..

Hi All…

Update Steve..
Good news moving to Goole hospital, 10 mins from home ..going to give him a pass out between injections but has to stay in over night…
Steve telling the doctor he needs exercise to strengthen his lungs and muscles..he has not to over do it but he understood what he was saying, he has to have me or someone with him, we can go to the park and cafe, even come home for a couple of hours hopefully…he may even need to have another 10 day course of injections ☹️

He’s waiting for the ambulance to take him…

Sounds better for me and can see Charlie too, they are both missing each other..even dinner at home??

Hi all, had a good day yesterday (660 cals) but didn’t leave the house so less than 4000 steps. Fed up of this cough. Paul is sleeping well and seems in no hurry to have me back in the marital bed 😂😂. NFD today but am doing walks. Took J for her 40 min walk this morning and will take her later too. Shame about the rain Dave, none here today.
Jean, great news about Steve’s move, it will be so much easier. And walks together again, yip yip!

I am in charge of Steve, sleeping here every night but he has a bed in hospital if he needs too…I have to have him at the hospital at 6.45am, 1.30pm and 9.30 pm for his injection every day….he has had infection/pneumonia..
He has to be there for doctors round all Monday morning from 9 am..

Mel..
You must be feeling a bit better doing Jodie’s walks..I took Steve in a wheel chair on half Charlie’s walk, then I walked the rest on my own as a rough path…glad to have him home..

You are doing really well with your bowls now training others..hope Stella stays with the team…

Goodness what day is it?…injection done and back home…we were both up through the night…Steve’s coughing is amazing, he was up most of the night moving from room to room, one time in the bathroom, reading, fan blowing, light on and the cough had a good echo!!! I was laid down stairs at 4 pm trying to sleep on the settee ….

I have a feeling it might be easier visiting in hospital!

See what the day brings…have a good day everyone..

Morning all!
Jean- I was going to say pleased that Steve’s improving & can get out a bit, but if he was coughing that much in the night doesn’t sound great? I’m sure you & Charlie are pleased to have him home, but sounds alot of trekking about…hugs for you both.
Dave- sounds a lovely friendly place you bowl at, helping each other out! Has your son been back any more? I’m surprised that Denise lets you go with the ladies fussing over you!
Mel- sounds like you’re feeling a bit better, good to get out for a walk.
Nana- hope you’ve had a good weekend?
Kay- must be nearly finished your work stint? Hope you get some time off soon…
Minols- how’s it going with you?
Took Xena to the beach again yesterday, wore my cossie so had a swim, it was so warm! Couldn’t get Xena in still though! Had an icecream at the cafe afterwards, naughty but still in holiday mode, & bought some tiger bread for lunch…we saw mum later, she has my aunt & uncle staying this weekend, nice to catch up with them. They’re going home today, so will probably pop in later, mum gets down when company goes.

Morning Everyone,

Can’t believe I forgot to post yesterday evening ! Was all set to post and a neighbour dropped in and stayed for quite a while so it went out of head until this morning. No fast day yesterday was going to be one today but husband decided he’d like a cooked breakfast think he’s getting in the holiday mode already as We always have a cooked breakfast every morning on holiday and that sets us up for the rest of the day. He’s also booked us in for a meal at our local pub Thursday evening to start our holiday off as we leave on Friday for a week away.

Jean an exhausting time for you at the moment bet Charlie is pleased to have Steve home though.

Hedgehogs you mentioned Xena not keen on going in the sea – our daughter tried to get Poppy in when they took her to the beach for the first time but she wasn’t interested. Daughter said she thinks it was because of the waves as where they live they are with in walking distance of Feb Drayton Lakes and she is walked around them every day.
Dave a protege and teacher at the same time.

Mel well done on taking a walk hope you’re feeling a little better today.

Don’t know if anyone else says White Rabbits for the first of every month my late mum always used to telephone me on the first of every month to say it – I so miss that.

Goodness swimming in the sea..it must of been cold…Charlie’s not keen either, just a paddle by mistake if a wave catches him…hope Mum feels ok when the visitors leave, its a hard one…

Hello friends

I’m back after a summer away. H snapped his Achilles 2 months ago and still in a boot and in crutches so life has been a bit hectic between him, a big bouncy woof, the kids, ft job and parents getting on a bit (not necessarily in that order).

Hopefully he’ll get the boot off on Thursday and we can start to get a bit back to normal.

Thinking about a fast tomorrow, the first in a long while to try and get back in to things.

Will try and catch up with posts and noticed Steve been in and out of hosp – hope he’s turning a corner xx

Cakey- lovely to have you back, sorry it’s been so busy though, hope hubby’s tendon has mended…hope fast goes well tomorrow, I’ll be joining you.
Nana- oh dear, in holiday mode a week before you go! Does Poppy go in the lakes, some dogs are okay with still water but not waves? I don’t think Xena likes any water really! White rabbits back to you too…pinch punch 1st of the month as well, although I think it’s supposed to be said before midday 😂
Jean- poor Steve, going to be a long recovery…enjoy your 2nd breakfast, you need the energy!
Xena embarrassed us on our walk, a truck drove along the path in the woods, & she wouldn’t come back to us! She ran in circles round us, completely ignoring us, while the truck had to stop & wait 😱 her recall is usually better than that! Kept her on a lead for quite a while after that! Mum didn’t need my company this afternoon, so shall do some ironing instead!

Gosh Jean, I think I would send him back full time! And there’s me moaning about my little cough. Over 17,000 steps yesterday and quite good on NFD. I do seem to have lost my sweet tooth. There has been a bar of G&B chocolate in the fridge for ages! FD800 today, woke up feeling less than enthusiastic but sticking in there. On the doggy front, both our poodles (who are supposed to be water retrievers) have hated the water. Jodie has had the odd accidental dunking though.
White rabbits everyone (haven’t heard that for years!)

A lot going on for you..hoping hubby improves and everything else can slot into place..nice to have you back..

Hedgehog..
Why are they so good then loose it…maybe a one off…Charlie at the moment keeps going up to babies in prams, licking them and taking their toys..I really don’t know how to stop it..I think he had grandchildren in his previous life he just loves them so much..I have to think ahead and put him on his lead…not good….Is Mum getting stronger?..good you can clear the ironing..

Mel..
I feel so tired!…I will get some throws for the settee tonight for him…he never sleeps, I like my 8 hours!!..good step count when you are not top form…

Nana..
Crossed posts earlier..
Already in holiday mode..I do think it’s a man thing…Steve declares holidays always early, Xmas too…although for Xmas I have him down to a few days early it used to be all of December, trenching through all the food and chocolates!!

Next injection 9.30 pm hoping I will be still awake….I have alarm on my phone for all the times in case we forget…

Jean you will have to nap when you can.Back from bowling I won some scented candles in the raffle, Denise has lit one already,Heidi is being a skunk bum💩.The team has changed to tomorrow our best three bowlers are missing two are playing for the A team and one is going to hospital for an appointment.The team we play tomorrow are second from the top so it will be very difficult to beat them,got to find where we play, I was going to get a lift but the two who would have given me a lift are playing for the A team. Ok ts somewhere near the airport, will have to find the postcode and put it in the satnav.The rain has stopped so I will take Heidi out.

Hi all
Can’t believe it’s a week I’ve been awol – missed so much! I read this page… But I’ve missed something with Steve – so I’ll need to go further back. Your current regime, Jean, sounds complicated and tiring so I hope Steve feels the benefit and it doesn’t completely wear you out!

Last week was really bust – not helped by putting my back out. Beginning to improve today, I think and the stretches starting to work. But no running since Monday. And this may be the end of it until spring – I’ll see. May just concentrate on stretches. I have an old callanetics book I really like so I may try that for this month.

I’m trying to make the most of a new month, new season and nuckle down to fasting. It feels like an age! Must get determined so I’ll start tomorrow. Soup is out of the freezer and cauli is ready to be mashed with beans. Really hope my body just falls back into this – ha ha!

The boy just doing the hoovering… And the dog has come trotting in – the definition of futility. Carpets will soon be covered in tufts again!

Oh well… Better do the Sunday sort out of laundry etc (boy just came in declaring he’s leaving hoover out cos he’ll have to hoover again in the morning ‘knowing the dog’ – what wise wee man!)

Evening!
Minols- I will be knuckling down with you tomorrow too! Must be very strong in September…
Jean- hope you don’t get too tired with all this…naughty Charlie with the little ones, I guess all you can do is keep alert & get him on a lead. Josie would always try to join in if kids were playing footie! Xena has been really good (so far!) at not running up to children, although we met a family in the park this evening, she was really good with their puppy but the girl got scared of her & ran off crying- we had to get Xena performing all her tricks to stop her crying & she was laughing eventually!
Dave- sounds like you’ll have a difficult bowls match tomorrow! Hope you find it okay. Enjoy your roast!
Mel- well done back into the FD swing!
Nana- hope your day has been good…
Didn’t do all the ironing, my legs were really aching! I’ve noticed much more aches & pains since eating the carbs again.

We both had a nap this afternoon for a couple of hours…just showered and hair wash for me and helped Steve to shower and changed his DVT stockings so all set for an early start..off again at 9 pm..

A boring life here at the moment so nothing exciting happening…high lite is Charlies walks…😂..it can only get better…

Dave..
Took your advice feel better for it…I never sleep in the day…how many games of bowls do you have in a week seems a lot but a change of season will stop until next year soon….roast beef sounded rather good..😀

Minols..
You seem to have been missing a bit, you are always quiet when the boy is on his holidays…new month ..back to school a re think for the month…I shall be making soups soon as you do, good for the change of season…

Hedgehog..
I must think something through with the little ones in prams…he is good at most other things, footy, runners, nasty dogs on ‘ leave’ command…..he did leave a teddy bears picnic alone in the park last week, I was very pleased on that…push the ‘leave’..maybe.

Rest up with your legs..interesting about carbs…hope they feel better in the morning…

Evening everyone,
Been a good day calorie wise even with the cooked breakfast didn’t have any lunch and just a chicken breast and salad for our evening meal. Kitchen now closed. Off to Cambridge tomorrow to hopefully get my new walking shoes/trainers from Hotter Shows and of course husband wants to have lunch out.
Jean a tiring time ahead for you I remember our lives being on hold for the seven and a half weeks of my husbands radiotherapy treatment but at least we only had to go to Addenbrookes hospital once a day but that was very tiring.
Hedgehogs I don’t think Poppy has been in the lakes yet as daughter worries about blue algae at this time of year. Daughter rang today for a chat think she’s feeling a bit down as our eldest grandson who lives with her is moving out tomorrow to a new flat with his Fiancee but she made me smile when she said she was chasing after Poppy first thing this morning in their garden to retrieve one of her cats offerings of a mouse left on the back doorstep that she managed to pick up on her way out – luckily daughter was successful in getting it off her.
Minols hope the back eases for you soon.
Dave well done on resisting having chocolate.

A bright but chilly start to the day…Steve with jeans on! First trousers since Spring!..the day will warm up..

Already been to hospital at the crack of dawn, leaving him there at 1.15 as doctors round and he needs to be checked over as he is officially a hospital in patient…… He had another blood test this morning to see if the infection is reducing, find out about that pm..

I slept well but Steve down stairs had no sleep….both boy and Steve fast asleep now, his coughing seems to be better through the day, so naps throughout the day…you then can’t sleep all day then sleep at night!!..Charlie is up with us early and he’s catching up on what he’s missed too 😂

I am fasting today…it’s going to be a long one….

Dave..
You will miss the bowling when the season finishes….keep strong this week….

Nana..
Good luck on the shoes hope you find some comfy ones..enjoy lunch too….we might eat out at the weekend, a change for Steve, me too…I feel for your daughter I remember when your nest starts emptying it’s not nice…still she will be busy with Poppy.
Hoping Steve needs no more treatment too…it can go on for a long time…

Hedgehog..
Very early start for us to actually be out the house, still the 9.30 pm is late too 😬😬

Hoping you choose the right fast today, I am with you…Steve has a good appetite he is eating anything whatever is going….

Minols..
Have you your soups made…see you through the month..

Mel..
Are you all better now or still coughing…it can hang about a bit..

HI all – had porridge about 11.30 when I took the boy in to school (didn’t feel too bright this morning, so we did a wee slow start for him, until he got his feet under him – can’t have him off all day, though, without a certificate from the undertaker, as my mother used to say). I have soup from the freezer ready for later (no idea what it is!), and I’ll have some cauli/bean mash when I do the ribs for OH and the boy…and then a meeting tonight to keep me good.

Turning cold here, but I’ve put the heating on in my wee office…and now I’m sweltering. About to brave the temperatures and go and make another coffee, though.

Jean – so inspired you’re still managing to fast. Even without that, though, we think you’re pretty amazing! Keep at it.

Dropped Steve off at the hospital…

Called at the door shop asked for someone to call as I find it difficult to open the door!..he came this morning when Steve was in adjusted it but said it was fine…I came back from the park and it’s as bad as ever……I went to find him after I dropped Steve off at hospital and he came back home with me and thank goodness it didn’t work..so adjusted again…just too stiff for me…🤞this time…

Minols..
Hope the boy is ok later…love your mums saying it made me chuckle…oh back to porridge in the mornings…I knew the soup would be out later 😂…I must make some more now the weathers changed…
I do half my mornings walk in my fleece around the park, second time round I drop it back at the car…September can be so lovely but strange….we were hoping to be in Scotland as now with the caravan, shame things change…

Hedgehog..
How are you doing, I don’t think I could just do liquid….I am going ok a touch hungry..could be the early start maybe a ham omelette tonight……watched Steve have a bacon sandwich at the cafe this morning, I just had coffee….Steve is eating and eating!!….must get him on the scales I don’t want him piling the weight back on…

Hope you manage bowls this afternoon…we have just had a heavy rain shower…

Popped on before I head home for dog walk and piano prictice just to remind me that it’s possible to get past this bump in the afternoon. Not hungry as such…just feel like a nibble – which I absolutely know I must not do as I won’t stop once I’ve started. No soup for at least an hour.

Just back from the bowling, traffic bad on motorway.I had a right job finding the bowling green, I put my satnav on and after about 10 miles it said you have reached your destination,looked and it was nowhere to be seen.Nowhere to park,real nightmare.So I eventually parked up and asked for directions,found it in the end with 20 minutes to spare.I played really well but still lost, I was warned yesterday that if I play the one I ended up playing to just try as hard as possible.I lost 21-13 which is my heaviest defeat but I got the second highest score from our team,one lost 21-2.If I didn’t get within about ten inches I would get beat,so very happy the way I played.

Hello

Blown the fast day – 700 calories. Was doing ok until about 2 then started nibbling. A little bit annoyed with myself as I know I can do this.

Will try again on Wed

Well done on the bowling Dave, sounds like a good team you were playing.

Hope your fasts have one well Jean and Hedgehogs.

Hello Nana, hope you’ve had a good day too

Evening everyone,
Have had a very nice day – managed to get my new shoes/trainers in Hotter Shoes – they have their buy one pair get second pair half price deal so husband got himself a new pair of shoes also. Then a very nice lunch in Bella Italia still full so nothing else will be eaten today. Grandsons move went okay for them – he was so excited he messaged me to say they’d just collected the keys.
Hope Steve got on okay at the hospital Jean.
Well done those of you who’ve had a FD today Cakey Wakey I always allow myself 800 calories on a FD as I really struggle with only 500. Looks like my next FD is going to be Weds as having usual Weds lunch with our friends tomorrow instead.

FD800 went fine yesterday and not overeaten today, just had some oatcakes and hummus. Having a Thai chicken curry tonight and bought myself some Lindt chocolate as a treat. I agree Nana I find 800 cals a bit less rigid than 500 but I am doing ADF. Might lower it when I switch to 5:2. Dave you seem to be doing really well lately. I thought of you today, drove past a sign for “The Cob Shop”.
Jean, I was confused when you said Steve was in trousers for the first time since Spring, what has he been wearing I thought – a kilt? Shorts of course, duh! HH good luck with your FD800s. You can manage more in a row than me, although I managed five when I first started in May.
Another FD800 tomorrow for me. Cough more or less gone thanks Jean. Wish Steve’s was too ☹️.

Minols- sorry, crossed posts earlier, I hope he’s feeling better now. I was a bit of a softie with the boys when they were younger, we got sent to school feeling really ill sometimes, so I was more lenient! But difficult when you work! Enjoy the soup!
Dave- sounds like you played really well! A difficult team to beat…hope the speedway isn’t cancelled.
Nana- dread an empty nest, hope your daughter is okay, like others have said it’s nice she has Poppy at least. Lovely that your grandson is so happy! Sounds like a successful day out too…
Cakey- difficult getting back into the swing of FDs, you’ve done well.
Mel-well done for yesterday, hope you enjoy the treats tonight!
FD been okay, plans for later in the week have already changed; both the boys will be away on Weds eve, so we might make the most of it & go out! But I can still do 800cals tomorrow…2 good walks with Xena, & a good natter with mum, she seems to have coped okay with visitors gone this time.

Morning all!
Jean- good news about Steve’s blood tests! Hope that it carries on improving & he can come home properly! Must be very tiring for you…
We’re taking Xena to dog training later, not sure where to walk her as the seasonal canine illness starts now, so forest walks are out- lots of locals still walk there as they think local dogs develop immunity but I know of local dogs who’ve still had it, & Josie did, so we’re not going there!
