Evening!
Hemmy- so sad about Wesley, he’s done well for a king Charles…hugs to you & Pips for losing his friend too 😢
Dave- you’re doing well not eating bread, you do lose lots without it, I know you don’t like weighing too often but it might give you a boost to keep going?
Jean- hope that your eyes are okay, it’s not been that long since the surgery I guess …
Hope everyone else is okay?
It’s been dreary here all day, but still nice to see the sea sitting in bed with a cuppa first thing! We enjoyed the fish & chips, I went for a long walk along the cliff path, surprisingly steep, so I walked some of it off at least! We’re home tomorrow, but the owner said no rush to leave as nobody else is booked in. Hubby wants to go to North Walsham on the way home, his Great, Great Grandad ran the pub there years ago, we think it’s a tea room now…

Hemmy..
So sorry to hear about Westley, so sad when the time is up. You will all miss him and company on walks.

Dave..
Hope you can start sleeping in again maybe when the roof is finished.

Hedgehog…
The walk along the cliff sounds lovely.. enjoy your day at North Walsham .. we have been there a few times. Eyes seem fine they were tired yesterday so stopped my crocheting a bit.

Jab tomorrow for the lung, I missed it last time.. a one off…

Good morning everyone, the roofer as just turned up. Day 5 of no bread, think I’ll manage to do the week.No bread also means no butter so plenty of calories saved. I’ll get weighed in February. Feel stiff this morning didn’t help that Chloe was on my bed and lay across it instead of by my side.

Evening!
Back home, had to pick Xena up a bit early as she’d been sick, she’s fine now! Didn’t get to see much of North Walsham, but we found what used to be the pub, it’s now a holiday cottage…
Hope the roofers get done okay Dave & it doesn’t rain!
Hope the jab’s okay tomorrow Jean 🤗

I think Monday I will eat a loaf😈😈😈. Costing a fortune to have the roof done so no cruise this year in fact no holiday at all 😭.

Good morning everyone a dry day so far, waiting for the roofers to arrive. They left the tiles outside the front window in what Denise calls the garden , we used to have a few privates, now it’s concrete with a wall. I was worried they would have disappeared in the night. Around here if it’s not fastened down it goes. Costing a lot more than original quote. Need new beams so it’s almost wiped us out. Will have to try and save but not easy on a pension. Were not destitute but much worst off than a week ago.Day 6 without bread today. It’s been very difficult but hanging on.

Roof almost done at the front don’t know about the back. Pointing to be done on the chimney so they said should all be done by Monday. They have been very good and hard working. My son is cooking tonight noodles and teriyaki beef so hopefully it will be good.

Evening All..
A lovely walk and then had coffee at Christine’s as she had a joiner in the house working.

Popped to the bathroom shop to asks a few questions and collected more books… everything is so expensive. I can see it costing more as Dave’s has. I am hoping to reuse some of the cupboard units. See what the plumber thinks. My tiles are very good so may get away with some of that.

I have stayed the same this week.. I have lost half a pound but I don’t count half pounds…

Hemmy..
Hoping your weight soon moves, it’s always hard to restart again. Hope you had a good walk…

Dave..
The roofers have been very good and about finished, wish the plumber would move just a bit quicker. Hope you enjoy your meal tonight.

Have a good weekend everyone..

Evening!
Dave- that’s rotten, the roof costing so much 😭 Well done keeping off the bread with all that stress & the early starts..
Jean- big decisions for your bathroom, not easy…Glad your arm is okay after the injection. I looked up the old pub/ holiday cottage online, it’s not got any character or old features, not very appealing!
Hemmy- you’ll soon get those 5lbs off, you’re very disciplined! Did you find anything good in the charity shops? I found a really nice jumper when we were away.
Nana, Kay, Couscous, hope you’re all doing okay?
I did put on 2lbs on our break, so strict keto now! My stomach is too iffy to try proper fasting so will just hope it comes off by being careful.
Did shopping today, youngest has a lurgy so won’t see him, saw mum & hopefully have sorted her bank card & reset security questions, it was funny trying to do that as Mum kept getting all the backup questions wrong, we got there eventually! At least we could laugh about it, better than crying 😂
Hope you all have a good weekend!

Hello all. Yesterday, Thursday 16th was 14 days in with a loss of 11 lb. Sadly went out on the evening to meet a friend.. in the pub…as you do. 2 cans alcohol free Guinness but returning home a bottle of Chardonnay and a cheese sarnie….bugger, (oops sorry). Today a reasonably good day, first and only meal at 6.00pm, bacon, scrambled eggs x2 and mushrooms. Followed I am afraid by a small bowl of Vanilla ice cream with mixed nuts. Not too bad a day I suppose. A good friend tells me he is also pre T2 but he does not really understand how serious it will be if he does contract T2. I really did have a job on my hands to get him to understand how serious his position is. Hopefully his wife will speak sense to him and get him on a diet. The weekend will see me relaxing the diet somewhat. Stay safe and well out there.

Good evening F B Brit friends. Xxxx

Its been a nice day.. lots of sunshine and blue sky. Good day out..
I found a lovely Radley tan leather bag like new. .lots of nice detail..usually retail at £70.. but got it for £10.

When we left for home at 5pm we called at a really old established Banbury Fish n chip shop .. we had only had a coffee .. Oh they were delicious really enjoyed them plenty of salt and vinegar lol plus a glass of wine.

Not weighing now till Monday morning. I will be back in full 5 2 mode lol. Bread will be replaced with Crispbreads again.

Nana .. hope you have had a good day.

Dave.. Ohh that’s a bad blow re your roof price…. Building work is so expensive now. I think lack of people in the trades is the problem they can name their own prices. Well done on no bread..

H H …You did well with your weight on your break.. Start again on Monday.. I hope your son soon shifts the bug. Banking not straight forward these days hard for Mum.

C C .. Sometimes time is the essence and maybe at times our bodies need the extra calories Even though it messes with our healthy eating plans .

Sym.. Dont forget with the plumber .. its what you want.. if you think bits are ok I would insist on leaving them.. Its all money to them .

.Enjoy your evening .. “The secret of happiness is not in doing what one likes, but in liking what one does.” Xxxx
