    Evening everyone, up early and out for our daily constitutional walk at 6:45am has made it a very long day and feeling tired now. Weighed this morning and was pleased to see a pound had been lost so decided against doing a FD today but have eaten sensibly.
    Dave hope you feel better soon – dos’nt sound very pleasant. Hope Heidi is alright also after yesterday.
    Jean sounds a sensible thing to consider moving to a more suitable location within your village if possible. Last one of the week for Steve tomorrow am I right in thinking that he’s got two more weeks to go. Does he have to be on a special diet ? Husband had to avoid eating or drinking anything that would create gas in his stomach but he was allowed a curry and a pint on a Friday evening.
    Hedgehogs you’ve been busy again. How did sons visit to girlfriend go ? A Tesco delivery for us tomorrow morning did the final additional items this afternoon and their site was so slow at least you can order 95 items now and some of the order item restrictions have been lifted.
    Endellion some thinking needed to be done by you.
    Have a good evening everyone and stay safe.

    Morning all!
    Dave- hope you got some sleep & that the aloe vera comes soon- can you put off going to MILs for another day?
    Nana- well done with the pound off- you are so steady, it’s great! Hope you get all your delivery okay today, hadn’t noticed it had gone up to 95 now! I did my asda one last night- stocking up fridge for the boys while we’re away- but was a bit tired so I got confused with the following week’s order & had to re-do both 😂. Son’s visit went well thanks; she guessed he was coming so it wasn’t a total shock!
    Jean- hope the tiredness hasn’t kicked in for Steve yet, good his hair is growing back! Hope the scales are good this morning!
    Endellion- hope your session goes okay, thinking of you…
    Minols- I’m sure you’re busy, hope everything’s going to plan, & hope your dog is still improving.
    Hope everyone else is okay…
    Poor eldest son found a tick on him just as we were going to bed! Hubby removed it, hope it doesn’t get infected…think he must’ve got it from Xena; he played with her straight after our walk, rolled around the floor with her just in shorts!
    Supposed to be dry here today, going out for a long walk with the lady I saw last week- she’s amazing, she did a 14 mile hike in the heat last week with friends! Nothing else planned, might fiddle about with some packing…

    Oh Dave – that sounds awful – give it until midday then make a decision?

    Trying to do a million things still so that I’m up for HC next week and then being off. Slight easing of the holdiay readiness operations as the ferry we’re originally booked on is not running, so booking been pushed out be 4 days. Lost the accommodation int eh Netherlands, but insurance will cover that and we’ll book something else…assuming ferry company think it’s worth putting the boat back on! But it does mean that while I want to finish work ont he same day, there isn’t the same domestic pressure to be able to run out the door as soon as I switch off the comuputer!

    Impressed people are still doing FDs and keeping things under control. We’re managing the control part, but not the FD part!

    Morning All…
    Rainy off and on..
    I went up to hospital to keep Steve company, we went for a walk through the grounds and I found a stile so I went further looked a bit like a orchard by the time I got back Steve was waiting for me. He was quick this morning. Continued at the park for the rest of his walk.

    I lost just under 2lbs, but I will log 1lb…Steve a bit upset as he’s put nearly a stone on since March, he isn’t walking or moving much..at least he is now realising why we fast!…give him a month then I will crack the whip!!

    Nana..
    Yes first week finished, two weeks to go, it soon passes. Steve on a diet, a see food diet!! he has a really good appetite, he’s eaten because he was told too, as they say you go off your food, eat anything he’s fancied to buck him up!..
    No bungalows in our village only a couple, we are in flood areas so have to be careful where you choose, we will keep looking or stay put..
    Hope your Tesco order has arrived and it’s all there, did you get out on your walk without getting wet…

    Dave..
    Hope you have come around this morning and you feel better..hope your juice works..
    Just seen you are still in pain, I would ring the doctor it could be something different.

    Hedgehog..
    No side effects as yet maybe next week..😬…your poor son, hope you got the tick off easy..Charlie had one in his eye lash line the other week, I used my tweezers, I looked at it for 10 days before I decided it was one he stood and let me fiddle it out..
    Goodness a 14 mile hike is a bit far, is Xena ok doing that far…I did 98 k last week, possibly my highest. Good the girlfriend had an idea he was coming, hope he had a good time…must get my head on doing some work I have had a lazy few days…

    Minols..
    Hoping you can sort something out for your holiday and find some more accommodation…it’s all very confusing at the moment…it will all come together in the end….

I took Heidi out the only problem was picking up her pooh, that hurt. My Aloe Vera Juice is coming in the next hour so I will have some straight away,hope it works otherwise it could be something else.

    Jean- well done nearly 2lbs!Seems to have come off easy or have you kept low all week? One third through Steve’s treatment, that’s good, a weekend off!
    Minols- shame about your trip, hope you can work something out 😞
    Long walk done- we didn’t do 14 miles, Jean, that’s what Monica does easily! I think we maybe did about 7, haven’t got a pedometer though…quite hungry, maybe a salad for lunch…

    Morning everyone!

    Dave – just looked at your phone online – it’s not a cheap one! Looks incredible though!
    I used to suffer very badly with IBS and can sympathise with how agonising it can be. Hope it eases up soon and you don’t have to visit the hospital.

    Minols – it’s a shame you lost your holiday.. but I’m sure something will come up.

    HH – I don’t mind the flying at all, really. I’m used to it, and I have amazing noise cancelling headphones and take my MacBook to watch Netflix most of the way. So it’s fun! It’s just the admin with everything at the moment.
    I’m nervous for tomorrow but it’s just a preliminary talk over FaceTime, presumably to hear about the way we’d go ahead with things. I ended up spending all of yesterday and today so far in bed. It’s a weird time, I feel like I go through feeling every possible emotion all in one day.
    That’s funny you felt yesterday was Friday-ish, I totally felt the same!

    Jean – great loss this week, well done!
    Poor Steve, can see why he’s upset, but considering all he’s had to go through I hope he’ll see it’s a temporary side effect, and it’ll be gone again.

    Nana – wow, you were up early, no wonder you were tired!

    I’ve been shopping online a lot and spending a ton. Reassuring myself that they’re things I do actually need, it’s just painful ordering so much in one go as I need to get several sizes to try on. Next up is a pair of trainers… Jean, I think I’m going Adidas, you’ve inspired me!

    Busy preparing evening meal, on now a slow cook, chicken chasseur, making garlic butter to go on the bread….just realised I need more veg for Charlie I have not enough fir his dinners, so have to pop out and buy him some..

    Dave..
    Nothing like pain if it doesn’t go you will need a doctor…

    Endellion..
    Good luck on the trainers…mine were superboost..very pleased with them, never been off my feet 😂

    Hedgehog..
    My weight, I never seem to loose..still it’s hard when Steves eating….Pleased this week just 2 oz short of 2 lbs…I was watching and being thoughtful on food…try hard again this week…
    Oh 7 miles is quite a long walk is it all off lead ?…I can manage a hour or so, then my feet get sore, I have to remember my next walk 😂

    Jean- hope your dinner is good!
    Just been out to a quiet garden centre, only one other customers, a good one way system. We got mum some bark for a corner of her garden, will give her something to do next week when I’m away! And I am happy as I’ve got a new washing basket- actually a big flexible bucket but have wanted one for a while! But Mum’s friend wasn’t visiting after all, so instead of just dropping off the park & going we got caught for a long chat! So having gained a day I think I’ve now lost most of it 😂😂 Must do the ironing now…

    Did another Hiit workout, made up my own. More fun than hoovering & washing the kitchen floor, they didn’t get done!
    Had a lovely veggie bacon carbonara (with low carb noodles instead of pasta), & my 1st lot of spinach out the garden, yum! Got to do the watering, we had quite a bit of rain yesterday but dry again already.

    Morning Everyone,

    Jean sounds a lovely meal.
    Yes Hedgehogs a very nice king Prawn Bhuna and it was my turn to drive so only one glass of wine when I got home. I never have even one drink if I’m driving as my uncle was killed by a drink driver mounting the pavement and killing him outright. I was only 6 years old at the time but can remember it as if it was yesterday. He left my aunt with two children under 5 years old.
    Not much on today.
    Have a good day everyone and stay safe.

    A morning watch of James Martin, then must move to do some housework..

    A lovely meal last night, then the extra things, I should learn if makes you feel wacky…so full up today not much food to be eaten today…

    Nothing much to report today. Should be a fast day but not in the mood, so will just try to be careful. Got a nice chicken to roast later. Good luck with yours HH. I will get a couple in next week before our holiday. I am now one and a half pounds over pre lock down weight. Seven and a half from goal.

    Nana how awful about your uncle. In the blink of an eye everything changes.

    Jean, good having two days without having to traipse up to the hospital. So glad Oreo and Charlie have had a good play.

    Endellion I have had problems with anxiety too, since my cardiac arrest (iPad wanted to put cardigan arrest). So I do feel for you 😘

    Hairdresser this afternoon. I am just having it cut, see what it looks like without dyeing it. Think I have made a grave mistake and am going to look like a bag lady.

    So glad Oreo and Charlie had a good play!

    With my hair there is no choice. It is just a frizz. Hated it when I was young but it is so easy, just wash, towel dry and go. It is the colour bothering me, I don’t know whether to dye it again, will see.

    Jodie’s leg looks better already. She always goes on our holidays, that’s why we don’t fly anywhere. Our holidays are always walking holidays so it would be silly not to have her with us. She loves it. In Spain and Portugal we would walk all day with her off the lead and not see a soul. Bliss!

    Enjoy your weekend Jean, and everyone.

    I will never have a drink then drive. If I have one drink I want more so I just don’t have any. I was very anxious too after my heart attack,but I thought to myself no point in worrying if it’s going to happen it will happen, I think worrying only hinders you. It’s been pouring down here, not been out with Heidi yet so I will take her now. Still in pain but got to give the aloe Vera a chance.

    Nana- so sad about your uncle…don’t blame you not drinking at all, I think even a little alcohol can affect your judgement. Dinner sounded good!
    Jean- lovely that Charlie & Oreo love to play so much! Enjoy a lazy day off from the hospital… We’re off on Monday.
    Dave- hope the tummy does improve soon 😬
    Mel- I think all cardigans should be arrested! Good that Jodie’s leg looks better already, is she washing it or leaving it alone? Hope your hair cut goes well, I have a week to wait, getting mine coloured as well though…
    FD going okay, although packing food for the holiday so it’s hard! Pretty hungry today & could easily be snippy at people- well hubby really; I’m busy with jobs & he decides to clear out junk in the spare room which has been there years. Once when I was rushing about getting ready to go away, he decided to repair the shed floor which had rotted a bit months ago! I think we might’ve had this conversation before- I’m sure I remember Cakey sating something similar about Mr Cakey?!
    Oh well, hoovering awaits, & asda delivery soon!

    Happy Saturday everyone!

    Jean – thank you for the tip on the shoes – it comes out much cheaper this way compared with JD Sports!
    Ooh, a magnum and chocolate last night… I’m really craving chocolate. Specifically these dark chocolate peanut butter cups I used to get when I was travelling in the states.

    Dave – fingers crossed the aloe vera gets to work fast.

    HH – glad the garden centre was quiet. My parents went out to one today and it was rammed!
    Workout sounds great, and so does your dinner.
    The chat was really nice! It’s quite overwhelming I suppose, but it’s amazing just talking about everything with someone who doesn’t know any of the people or situations in your life. I feel very validated and very safe in her hands. The only problem is she costs £60 a session!!! So I’m wondering whether it’s worth it for a few sessions before moving to something cheaper, or whether just to scrap it now and find something else…

    Nana – oh, how awful what happened to your uncle. That must’ve been a really tough thing to get through.

    Mel – sorry to hear about your anxiety (and cardiac arrest!). It’s not much fun at all, but I guess things can only get better.
    Enjoy your haircut! Maybe once it’s freshly trimmed you’ll feel fresh and not in need of the colour as well.

    I actually have a haircut tomorrow, my first since September! It’s a friend of my dad’s who’s come round and cut my parents’ hair for years. I had a chin-length bob back in September, and now it’s sort of collar-bone length. I like it, but I feel like the shape is not ideal. We’ll see how it turns out.

    Oh, also, they announced the all-clear for trips to the Azores! The only thing is you still have to quarantine on return, but I’m hoping that’ll change by the time it comes around. Otherwise I’ll just stay out there longer..? Anyway, I’m 95% convinced I’ll be going anyway. In three days!

    Afternoon everyone!

    Dave – sorry to hear you’re still suffering. Hopefully tomorrow you can get some answers.

    HH – true, the only problem is the cost! £60 a session! So I’m not really sure how to manage it from here on.
    Haircut is great thank you! She’s a brilliant hairdresser. I so rarely blow-dry my hair, and she doesn’t usually either, which means she knows how to give me a great cut that really works well for my maintenance routine (wash, towel dry vigorously, and leave).

    Jean – Hmm, I was talking to the hairdresser about hair falling out as well, as I thought mine was falling out more than normal. She said I wasn’t the first to say so recently, and that it might be the time of year.
    Let’s hope it’s just that for Charlie too and nothing more sinister.

    Sorting out bits and bobs these next few days before leaving on Tuesday! Getting really excited now! I put a message on Couchsurfing (it’s a travel website, where people can offer or request places to stay anywhere in the world, for free), and a few people have got in touch. So I have a beach-side place to stay for at least my first few nights with a vegan chef. After that, I’ll figure it out!
    Feeling a little more peaceful lately. It’s funny how much even that one conversation, talking about my parents, previous relationships, etc, makes you think and start joining the dots.

    My son pays £35 to his therapist,he is doing well with her, she is a nice woman before covid he used to meet her face to face, she always made a cup of tea before they started. Now they do it on Skype.Just got soaked taking Heidi out.

    Afternoon!
    Endellion- glad you’re feeling better after your talk. & looking forward to your holiday, never heard of the couchsurfing site, not being a traveller! Hope it works out okay!
    Dave- a worry still being in pain 😞 Hope you can get an appt tomorrow. Enjoy stargazing tonight!
    Jean- poor Charlie, someone trying to oust him! Huskies are very dominant dogs…
    We’re just ‘off grid’ for the first few days, will be going to St Ives later Wednesday. Packing done, have more food than clothes in the rucsacs! Took Xena to the dog sitters, she dragged us up the path so happy to be there! Cass let me leave one cuddly toy for her so at least she has something, it’s a bit of a security thing for her I think. Can’t imagine what she’ll make of the kittens- I think it’s daft for dogsitters to get them, alot of dogs aren’t good with cats! Saw Mum this afternoon, she was okay. Going out to clap for carers in a minute.

    Dave hope you get sorted out soon and also hope you can get to use your binoculars tonight.
    Hedgehogs hope you have a good time away.
    Jean daughter said Poppy is losing lot of fur at the moment and she’s forever cleaning the floors.

    Nana- very breezy here too, got all Xena’s towels & some of her toys washed & dried. Glad you like your haircut…a bit awkward if you didn’t if your daughter did it!
    Forgot to say that when I got on the scales this morning I’m now down to target weight again- shame about the holiday, I’ll put lots back on 😂😂

    Lovely to get your hair cut I am getting desperate, two weeks to wait 😬
    Must be time for the big moult..Charlie has his head bronzing back on the top of his head ( a dally thing)..he is on piriton I have just washed his head with special shampoo..he’s not happy. I think it’s a type of hay fever/ allergy…

    Jean- good luck fasting today, hope Steve’s not too tired & can drive himself.
    Keep strong if anyone else fasts…

    Have a great time HH, take photos! And well done on the target.
    Dave, how are you?
    Been reading about all the moulting dogs – hurray for poodles 🤣
    Fast day today but not feeling enthusiastic – nearly said stuff it, but will feel so good tomorrow if I do it. Plan to do another Thursday as well, so Jean and Nana keep me on the straight and narrow! My trouble at the moment is Paul’s new potatoes are all ready and have to be eaten at each meal with lots of butter on! Taking some round to a friend in a minute.
    Endellion, how are you doing?
    Is that all of us? We are a small band at the moment. We need Kay back, and where is Tammy? Cakey gone too.

    New potatoes with butter ummm..lots of butter…..home grown even better…Sprinkle of cheese melted on the top just a plateful on their own…ummm…oh stop it!

    Minols..
    A week to go for your holiday…hope all the planning is going ok…which ferry do you leave from…

    Oh Jean, why did you have to mention those new potatoes with cheese on top 😩😩. Maybe tomorrow!
    Nana how is it going – motivation still clinging on? And Dave, good for you fasting when you are not on top form. Let us know how it goes. I am doing ok, food planned for rest of day. Just waiting for a wine delivery. Unfair when I can’t have any tonight….!

    Doctor called and put me on a laxative.Not sure it’s the answer but will give it a go. Taking more painkillers than I normally do not that they are doing much good. I will pick-up my laxative from Tesco now, I have to take two times a day.

    Evening everyone, a good FD in the end coming in at 650 calories but still feeling hungry. Hope everyone else who fasted today has had a good one.
    Jean we’re going to be visiting our widowed friend at hers tomorrow for lunch but aren’t planning on resuming our Weds pub lunchtimes for a while yet.
    Sounded like a nice walk this morning.
    Dave hope medication works for you.
    Enjoy the rest of your evening everyone and stay safe.
