Got soaked taking Chloe out, it’s been raining all day here, sick of it now but at least it’s warm. 12°C now so can’t complain. I’m fed up of cyclists riding in the pavement, almost got flattened he was to busy 9n his mobile phone to even notice me and Chloe, felt like pushing him over. A few weeks ago one of them actually called me for being in his way on the pavement,I told him if he’s afraid to ride on the road like he should do he should walk, he just ignored me.

Good morning looks like another wet day🦆🦆🦆. Good job it’s warm or we would have had a lot of snow. Going to Sainsbury’s soon I expect it will be packed out. I’ve not bought any booze for Christmas, not sure if I will, it’s very rare I drink in the house and I hardly ever go to the pub, so if I see something I fancy I’ll get it otherwise I’ll stick to chocolate 😁

Hi All..
An early start then at the dentist. Decided to go straight to the shops, I have done everything, except cream dates not good.

It feels like the calm before the storm, everything on hold for a few days.

Hoping to fast Thursday, last weigh in of the year friday.

Dave..
All dry here but it seems to be getting dark early.. poor you with the cyclist, you take care…

All quiet on here everyone getting busy…
Think I will get the boy out I am going to collect a tray of eggs off Natalie’s mum, she gets them from a farm.

Hi F B Brit friends how is your day going so far. Xxxx

Sooo sick of the wet weather it s soaking here again over our walk…. Oh so very muddy to.

Christmas seems to have been going on forever lol .. I keep thinking of things I should do but don’t have the interest .. Hopefully when Kristy arrives Friday I will feel more inclined.. I soo miss past Christmases. but must as Mum would have said ” Pull my socks up ” and get on with it lolol. Good old Mum.

Weight staying good as yet nothing naughty as such as I haven’t had anything untoward since those mince pies. After eating the box lolol as so often I dont fancy them anymore so those I have for Christmas are quite safe.

This evening its a jacket potato with one of the chilli’s I have made from the freezer.

Dave.. Treat yourself to some beer for Christmas..with your chocolate you have done so well. We do have to relax though at Christmas and celebrations enjoy life. then we go back to fasting as we know it will come off. .

Sym… What are you doing for Christmas day.. going to your daughters or staying at home with Charlie.

H H and Nana Is it a good day for you Xxxx

Enjoy your evening everyone. Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out.Xxxx

If I don’t have beer I will eat chocolate until it comes out of my ears. Bought 2 very big dairy milk bars today, still got 2 big tubes of orange smarties.plus a big tin full of toffees and I mean big, it’s got 2 tins worth of Christmas toffees plus I’ve added a couple of bags to it, surprised the lid shuts. I’ll look for beer on Thursday I just fancy Bombardier, could always have Hob Goblin but I have that most years.

Hi all!
Jean- glad you are feeling a bit better today, hard with the anniversaries of your parents as well 🤗 I’ll be on here Christmas day as it’s just hubby & I…
Dave- maybe you should ‘accidentally’ trip & knock the cyclist off! Not good when you have to be on the lookout for them in the dark … How much chocolate you’ve got 🫢
Hemmy- funny you’ve had enough of mince pies now, I get a bit like that with Christmas cake by the time I’ve tasted the trimmings & then decorated them!
It has poured here all day, got too wet walking Xena to walk Enoch. We did a big shopping trip, so busy every where, we gave up trying to get into the town as the traffic jam was 5 miles long…have got all the presents now apart from flowers for a neighbour, still will have to go shopping for chicken, cream & veg on Friday. Was so busy I didn’t eat until dinner tonight. Walking with my friend tomorrow, might treat us to an almond croissant each!

Hi FB Brits hope you are having a good day. Xxxx

A very interesting walk this morning ..we were out for 2hrs.. We met a botanist who works for our county council . He was taking pics of the hedgerow as a rare plant had reappeared after many years.
An interesting man .. very chatty ..

Its a funny weather day here one minute very dark then brightens and a bit of sunshine. mild at 11deg
Hopefully stays dry as bedding on the line.

Just had a cup of soup and cheese and Branston pickle sandwich. .. Not sure about this evening.. Maybe jacket potato.

Still keeping lowest weight .. not that hungry .. will be interesting to see from Friday when Kristy comes how i feel then.

Dave .. you are soo funny about your chocolate .. do you like milk choc or plain.
I like a cup of Cadburys drinking chocolate .. not bad on calories. Have you tried that.

HH… You sound organised and all done. .. did you and your friend have your croissant

Sym… At least you don’t have to cook a big meal for people.. Infact a lot of people I know are just staying at home this year and keeping it low key.

Enjoy your afternoon everyone.

Hemmy I like all chocolate except for white chocolate,I used to have Cadbury drinking chocolate every night when I was at school. Denise makes it occasionally.I have the options praline chocolate drink 40 calories depending on if you add milk or not It’s very good. Only had a wagon wheel to eat today, not fasting until next year now. I will get weighed on Friday then again on new year’s Day then the Friday after it, that’s when it all starts again. Thinking of making a Sausage and pickle crumpet now, sausage meat and a few pickled onions chopped up.

I decided against fasting today I might try one tomorrow.. I caved in and had egg and chips… a few naughties too…

Meeting Natalie in the morning then it will be Xmas day.. she is very busy.

Hedgehog..
You are on your own Xmas day, will it be the first time?
Things change not always for the better but just different..

Hemmy…
Which virgin olive oil do you have.. is it ordinary off the shelf or expensive?
I am doing a full dinner for me and my boy with a special chocolate dessert (for 6 people).. I think the turkey is for 8 people 😂.. I still buy for a family meal, Steve used to laugh about it.. my mind never got down to two of us and not even now for one..
Is Kirsty’s partner joining you?

Dave..
You are calling Christmas now… I was then changed my mind…so must fast tomorrow…

Hello!
Hemmy- you are doing so well! I might sound organised but am definitely not, lots to do…
Jean- will be nice to see Jacqui on Boxing day. A few lazier mornings if you’re not meeting Natalie early for a few days! We were on our own last Christmas day, we enjoyed it, time to do Church & no big dinner to cook, we will have nibbly stuff again 😄
Dave- you could’ve made it a FD if you’ve not eaten til 3pm! Hope your sausage & onion crimpit thingy turns out nice …
Nana- hope you’ve had a nice day, lunch out?
Had a nice long walk with my friend, gave Xena a quick run at the park early too so she was tired this afternoon…last call to HomeStart family for a couple of weeks, & finished my Christmas cakes this afternoon – not the best I’ve ever done but was running out of time!
My sister finished work today, she’d worked at a primary school for 20 years, am hoping we can walk the dogs together more but she’s having knee trouble, has already waited 3 weeks just for an x-ray & no appt yet! Crazy!
Enjoyed my croissant today, just had a small dinner tonight, then last FD tomorrow…

Last fast of the year, weigh in tomorrow…

I have been making sweets not the best of days and the marzipan was out too.. some licky fingers but I was exceptionally good considering…

Hedgehog..
Walking with Penny in the morning then a few lie ins before Xmas…Charlie sulking as I have been busy in the kitchen he likes me sat with him!
I won’t see Katie till June or maybe September…looking forward to Jacqui coming nice just the two of us… sister finishing work that will be nice to see her more and walking out too…

Good afternoon F B Brits .. I hope all is well in your world.

Ohh blimey it was soo windy across those ole fields this morning..I feel worn out lol. I have got bedding blowing in that wind though nailed down with loads of pegs lol ..

Trying to relax today and let all the pressure of Christmas just wash over me.
A friend rang this morning she was soo stressed.. had been to M&S in Banbury this morning for opening time. ..All jam packed. Parking horrendous.

Just had marmite on toast for lunch with a cup of soup and satsuma. . Not really hungry at all .. a bit sort off fed up with thinking about rich food.

Lin 48.. Welcome to our little corner .Xxx. Did you mean you were on this thread before or just the forum in general. We did have a lovely lady called Lyn a while back. Stay with us it does help with others and sharing their problems and successes.

Dave .. Funny as I don’t like e white choc either.. Did enjoy the sausage and pickle Crimpet.

HH.. That will be lovely your sister being retired you can spend more time together. Did you say you live very close.. I am sure your cakes will be wonderful. Does your sister bake too.

Nana .. Hope you are having a good day..

Sym… I normally cook with Flora oil .. but I bought Napolina Extra Virgin for the tablespoon in the mornings first thing.So not any really expensive stuff. I see Dr Moseley is now saying about it. I am definitely not having any cravings. Eating full fat butter and whole milk.

No Phil is cooking lunch for his Dad and old aunt at his Dads.. Last year he came here Christmas eve ..his brother did the lunch for his Dad and Aunt. ..I did say that my neighbour had invite me But as its my Birthday Christmas Eve.. and Kristy’s Boxing day she like to come here. Other half will probably come Boxing day.

Enjoy your afternoon everyone.. Focus on being the happiest, healthiest, best version of yourself.-Xxxx

My sweets have turned out well and my kitchen wasn’t covered in chocolate I was very careful this time..last time I made them it looked like a child had been in!!😂🤣

I have bought some virgin olive oil from Lidl seemed to be good on the label , I keep forgetting to try it first thing.. I must get it out the pantry… lots of write up about it. I always eat butter and full fat milk..much better for you.
Nice to have Kirsty to yourself I am looking forward to Jacqui on Boxing Day.

Good afternoon welcom Lin48. Keep coming on here it does help. Can talk about anything, we nearly all have a dog so they get mentioned quiet a bit. I might make the Crimpit now, the sausage meat was frozen yesterday. Been to Morrisons and bought my beer for the festivities. Got Bombardier,I like that. It’s very windy here was blowing me about and that takes some doing. Planes were having trouble landing at Manchester airport.

Evening!
Hi Lin,welcome & nice to have you with us! A difficult time to start the fasting…I find it easier to eat just one or 2 meals on FDs, but if you’ve done it before you know what you’re doing!
Dave- hope the crimpit is good! Glad you got your beer…
Jean- nice to have Jacqui on Boxing day & not too long with SIL! Well done with your cooking not eating any 😄
Hemmy- good that you’re all done & not got to brave the shops again, nice that you do see Kristy. I still have to shop tomorrow for the meat, cream & veg, dreading it!
Had a very successful day today- walked Xena, Enoch & then cut eldest son’s hair. Then cleaned my oven, that was a long job! Washed kitchen floor, I make so much mess…fasted today, another liquid one, that’s 3 again this week, I hope the scales are good for the last weigh in tomorrow!

Up early by my standards. Got to go to Sainsbury’s for last minute things. No rain at the moment but the car is wet, it always rains when we go shopping🤬. Had to kick Chloe off my sofa so I could get on it, she’s so long. I said to Denise if she was human she works be a model with her long legs😂. Afraid to get on the scales but will do it for the last time this year.

Morning All…
Still very windy in gusts… put some washing out not a lot double pegs..

Finished my year off at goal weight I am so pleased.
A few times in the year up a bit and it’s been really hard to move the last few pounds. Last year I was 2 lbs up at this time but still in the wriggle room of 2 lbs up or down.

One of my boules lady had asked me to call for a coffee, her hubby has had a knee replacement, so a bit of company for both of them. It looks as his knee hasn’t gone well it’s wobbly, screws not tight enough??!

Dave..
Glad you sorted your favourite beer out.. I have all sorts in, I work on the theory of 4 in the house of yester year not just one!
I must go careful.

Hedgehog..
Hope the oven and jobs are all done.. I don’t envy you shopping now.. I am all done… just some biscuits to bake and choc pud to do.

I am starting to do olive oil on the 1st Jan… see how I go 🤢

Rather you than me Jean, I can’t even have it on salad. Think I’ve over indulged already put half a stone on, it shows when I stop fasting and don’t keep an eye on what I have. It will only get worst because I have a giant tin of toffees and smarties to eat yet and 11 bottles of beer to drink so that should add another half a stone or more. I will get weighed in the 1st of January and carry on from there

Dave- go steady until Saturday 😂
I’ve lost another pound, only just back into normal weight range according to the BMI calculator Dave, so not disappearing yet!
Hemmy- & Nana, hope you both have a good day…
Hubby & I both woke at 4am so we got to Tesco’s just after it opened at 5am, got most of what I wanted, it was mayhem though as the aisles were full of their boxes of stuff to be put out! Walked Xena & Enoch, then delivered a present for my friend’s girls, but she’s still having a rough time so didn’t stop. Hubby delivered one to a neighbour, & her cake. Seeing Mum soon, will take her cake as well, I’m getting there!

Afternoon everyone, a very busy week ending with a very busy day today.
Forced myself to have breakfast this morning as I had a blood doning appointment booked for 10am only to be sent a text by them at 9:15 cancelling it.
Delivered all of our Christmas presents to our family and friends and then we had our army grandson call round to see us and he’s only just left. So lovely to see him.
Was pleased to have lost a pound this week despite having a lovely Christmas dinner on Wednesday but I’ve made myself have three low calorie days this week which has helped.
Jean well done and also Julie, what an early start though Julie. Dave you’ll be more motivated in the new year.
Ely was exceptionally busy yesterday and Waitrose was packed but luckily we managed to get the last bits and pieces needed.
Auntie continues to be well.
Hemmy hope Kristy arrives without to much
trouble on the motorway.
Have a lovely Christmas everyone🎄

Lots of cleaning done, eldest was out today & then away to gf’s tonight, no point doing much while he was around! Last walk for Enoch for a few days, he was very scatty in the wind!

Hi F B Brit Friends.. Hope you are relaxing and enjoying this boxing day.

So many people not well .. its such a shame.

We are having a relaxing day .. just eating bits and pieces.. Weight still holding up well .. I do notice with others here my appetite has shrunk a lot. lol Weight this morning not increased at all so far.

Interesting though as in Past years I have piled on pounds eating up left over bits after Christmas. So I will see how that goes.

Dave .. Hopefully Denise will soon feel well again. So many peeps ill in families.

H H How is Xena today..she didn’t manage to sneak some choc did she.

Sym.. What are you doing today.

I need to go into the garden with Pip for a play but it will be hard going today .. Kristy out to see her friend.,, she took him walking this morning.

Enjoy your afternoon my friends.

Last day of eating .. turkey and chips this evening, then thrown away, trifle will be thrown too I am totally eaten out.. I just don’t eat like this now…..

Fast day tomorrow….

Grandson seems to be enjoying his self, lots of lovely photos…on the road toddy going further north. He had been in Ozy a month now… last two weeks on his trip then he has to decide what he is doing .. going to Perth to see his brother or straight back to Sydney..I know money is getting short, possibly his last £2000.. he really needs a job!!

Dave..
Braving the weather with bowls, I think sometimes you need to just get out….hoping Denise is feeling better.

I shall get a lie in tomorrow and another lazy day… going to see Jacqui on Friday for a few hours and off load some of my homemade sweets.

Good evening FB Brit friends.. hope you are enjoying your day xxxx

It hasnt stopped raining here all day.. Lucky it was my last day of not taking Pip out.

Kristy gone back now.. hopefully doesnt catch Phil’s heavy cold.
I think for many its been a strange Christmas with lots of family ill again.

I haven’t eaten that much so far .. the danger period now with the left overs. Sent Kristy back with un opened stuff a lot of wasted buys this year ..

Just cheese and biscuits later .. I am not bothering cooking much till after New year ..

Dave .. Glad Denise is recovering. I agree TV is rubbish old hat.

Sym ..Later I will tackle the last bit of trifle and some blueberries and raspberries can shovel in too lol.

I just haven’t been in the old Christmas mood this year. I did try I do think many others the same though. .

Everywhere you go take a smile with you Xxxx

Morning All..
Looks like a dry start.. a cuppa in bed and a lazy day.

Walking local after a lazy start.

I am trying for a fasting day… so sick of food..

Hemmy…
A portion of trifle is being thrown… cold turkey with salad and it will be finished.
Bought far too much. Like you easy meals cheese crackers, omelette…. No cooking as such…

Dave..
😂 it’s 8 am and still in bed.. up shortly for a shower.. village walk so no mud!
Hoping Denise feels better.

Jean x

From now on I am buying for a single person. keeping freezer full and fresh stuff to the minimum. I am still buying for 3-4 ..
Not shopping now till I really have too then just taking a list which I am going to keep running on my kitchen shelf.

Have a relaxing day .. hopefully a dry walk Xx
