Good morning I am getting back to feeling better. My son as gone in work today said he feels better. Just been out with Chloe in the sunshine, only 3°C but felt warmer. Not ready to decorate yet maybe next week. I still feel a little tired but did go bowling yesterday and slept better thanks to the fresh air.

I just pay when I go to the dentist Jean. Sounds very expensive what you pay. I’ll leave the decorating until I’m 100% I keep forgetting to take my tablets since I was ill. Midi start taking them again but won’t take the co-codamol.Managed ok without them. Scrambled eggs bacon and tomatoes for tea. Chloe as just had all her food, very early for her it’s usually 10pm. She had a tin of sardines in her kibble. Will give her some more later tonight.

Hemmy have you tried the butter beans yet? I had them tonight😋. It’s been a beautiful day today suns been out and not too cold. Went to the AGM of the bowling club. Got to go back next week to pay the subs.I missed the AGM at my other club so will have to pay that as well.My shadow is on the sofa with me as usual. I like it though.

Good evening I’m starving so had some fruit. Hope Charlie’s ok now, it breaks my heart when an animal is not well especially a dog. I’ll take Chloe out at 10pm for the last walk. Never did this with the other dogs but Chloe won’t go out the back so I have to take her out. Don’t really like going out at that time you never know who is hanging about and while Heidi would have protected me Chloe would run away.

Good afternoon everyone Xxx

What a glorious day. for March 1st … and looks like a run of them now.

Its been a busy social week..so a restful easy weekend now. Weight is good back to my goal.

Day 40 no alcohol..
I am very tired though.. its normal after quitting regular alcohol.. so just got good old fashioned Lucozade the small bottles from Amazon .. 8 for £5 .. plus Vitamin B 12 .

Dave.. I have just been to the coop and keep forgetting to ask about butterbeans.. I really must try them as I have convinced myself I wont like them lol.
Are you feeling well now.

H H … I have got friends that live in Lavenham been there for years .. I have never been there but always imagine it pretty.

Sym How is Charlie today.. It must be so worrying for you when that happens.

Nana … Hope all is well with you and yours.

I am having a cold roast beef day today .crusty roll for lunch and dinner .

Enjoy the rest of this beautiful day ” Seize the day and make the most of every moment.”
.

Jean if I went to bed at 10pm I would weight 40 stone because if I get up early I’m eating all day. Much better getting up at 10am then not so bad. Hemmy we are all much better now. Chloe’s had her 2nd walk so 10pm or maybe earlier for the last one. Only a month to the bowling season and speedway starts this month so happy days. DON’T FORGET TO GET THE BUTTER BEANS HEMMY 😁😁😁. Can you hear me 😁😂🤣

Jean I go to bed at 1am at the moment, used to be later but with Denise sleeping downstairs I have to go earlier. She’s watches TV then starts reading until she’s tired. If I was her I would be permanently tired she hardly ever sleeps. I think she gets 4hours of she’s lucky..Roast beef tonight food the Yorkshire pudding batter yesterday. Chloe didn’t eat at all yesterday but watch her go with the beef and Yorkshire pudding, it will be gone in a few minutes. Might do her an extra roast potato. Got the duck fat ready.

Denise buys a large pork joint then cuts it into 3 , she gets 3 meals out of it and saves money. I’ll use up the butter beans with my roast tonight. A bit warmer today but I feel cold, got the fire on and Chloe up on the sofa in front of the fire next to me as usual. I must start the decorating again, finish off the stairs then it’s the living room next papering.

Evening!
Jean- sounds like you’ve had a busy weekend with the garden & DIY shopping! Hope Charlie is okay now?
Dave- not sure I could keep eating the butter beans like you do, not got much flavour on their own! I take Xena out most nights at about 10pm too, feel pretty safe around here though…
Hemmy- hope you’ve enjoyed the garden in this lovely weather! Maybe try multivitamins with some iron if you’re very tired?
Nana- hope you’ve had a good weekend?
Had a lovely long walk by the river with Xena yesterday, out for 2.5 hours, foggy when we left but sunny at the end! Took son’s washing round, he’s still doing on-call at weekends from home, had a shout just before I popped in so had to go later…Saw Mum as well, helped her do an online shopping order, she didn’t want to bother but realised she’d run out of chocolate & wine 😂 Another sunny day here today, had a long walk on the heath, so lucky to have the variety of places to walk so close by. We had fish for dinner tonight, hubby doesn’t seem bothered about having a roast, he is eating too much though, has a big plateful, was going to cut his down a bit but he asked for more potatoes 😬

Morning All..
A chilly start but lovely day.. walked out with Natalie this morning…

I am hoping to re seal my French doors it’s still a bit chilly.
I have someone to give a price on new decking coming on Thursday I really have no idea how much it will cost..I feel it’s going rotten I don’t want to go through, it’s the door Charlie uses the most.

Hedgehog..
Charlie is lively and been naughty today not listening so definitely back to normal!
How is your son doing in his new job? Is he still enjoying it?
Mum sounds like me chocolate and wine 😂🤣

Dave..
I sometimes buy a large pork joint I cut it into three. It does me a few days.. pork salad tonight.
Your glasses seem a very good price. I shall play tomorrow weather is good. Enjoy your game today.

Have a good day… everyone fasting?

Jean x

Afternoon everyone, it’s been a lovely few days of sunshine and as we’re going away to Norwich for a couple of days on Thursday I hope it continues. Also it means that I get to enjoy riding Geraldine more.
No change on the scales last Friday when I weighed which meant my total weight loss for February was one and a half pounds, slow but steadily going down. I’ll keep on with the 18:6 1300 calories for now.

Hope everyone has a good week.
Nana xxx

Evening!
Dave- good that Denise went back to the GP, hope they get her in to the clinic soon…not long til the bowling season then, you’ll be busy! You need to crack on with the decorating before it starts 😂
Nana- well done with your loss, so steady! Hope the weather does stay nice for Norwich…do you think you’ll go & see your daughter, hope she settles in to her new flat soon.
Jean- lots of jobs for you to keep busy with, rotten decking doesn’t sound good! Will you get wood again? Glad Charlie is back to normal…Youngest has to do a 4 month training course for the fire service as it’s a different county, he’ll be finished end of May, & will only find out then what station he’ll be at. He’s enjoying the course so far although he knows most of it…
Hemmy- well done with the windows, that’s a job I can only do one at a time, hurts my neck too much, we have a window cleaner for the outside though.
Just having one meal again today, getting very hungry now! We went for a walk by the river again although the cafes were closed so didn’t have a drink out. Got a back door key cut for Mum’s in case we ever have to get in, if she has left her key in the front door you can’t unlock it, hopefully she’ll never have a fall … getting her new heater fitted tomorrow, I expect she’ll be moaning about that! Cut hubby’s hair this afternoon & planted up some lillies. Dinner time now!

Good morning,a nice sunny day but cold. Dropped Denise off at Spanish lessons and took Chloe round the park. Shopping later when I pick device up. Wouldn’t mind a change of shops maybe Lidl or Asda just for a change but Denise will say she dosent know where everything is😁I put a blanket on the sofa and as soon as I straighten it Chloe jumps up, she dosent like it untidy but it’s her than makes it untidy🙄. Not sure what good I’m having today maybe a salad.

Good evening everyone. Xxxx

What a beautiful day again… A good walk .. One of our walks had been quite wet and the tractor had made a muddy mess dried out a bit and better today

Came back and a good natter at the gate with my neighbour putting the world to right lol.

Late lunch again at 3pm.. so I just had a couple of crumpets with cheese and some grapes this evening .

Day 43 no Alc

Dental check tomorrow.. new Dentist after having my old one for many years So feeling nervous.

Nana .. Well done on your loss for Feb.. enjoy your time away. Hopefully lovely weather for you. Xxxx

Dave.. Well done on your month of no alc .. Its so weird as I dont miss it at all now .. I think I am sleeping better .. how about you.
I dont expect there’s been any more rain you can test the roof.

H H Hopefully all went well with your Mums heater being fitted.. Lots of things always going on with your boys .. keeps you busy and young.
Do you have any Home start families at the moment.

Sym.. Best getting all the jobs done before spring. I have always done windows and cleaning the car .. I dont mind doing it really.

Did you win your game today .. lovely weather for it. Is your daughter better now .

Enjoy your evening everyone.
Make the most of every moment they are all precious. Xxx .

I’m at MoreLife today so will have the pancakes tonight. I made the batter yesterday and it is in the fridge ready for use. Chloe had a full pancake and gobbled it down so if I have to much I may do her one. Only one more trip to MoreLife after today then the 12 month course is over. Not been weighed for a month so no idea if I have lost or gained. 🤞🤞🤞. I’ll be back as Arnie used to say.

Good afternoon everyone. Xxxx

Another beautiful day.. a lovely walk in the sunshine.

I had an early morning call from my Dental practice ..Appointment cancelled today as Dentist is off today./.. So waiting for new appointment. I wasn’t sorry lolol
So just having a lazy day

This evening I am having a large Tesco haddock fish cake an da few chips .. peas and grapes.

Day 44 no alcohol.

H H .. I am not a lover of pancakes so I never bothered… Are the Keto ones nice.
Dave.. How did your weigh in go.

Sym .. Nana hope you are having a good day.

Enjoy the sunshine.. “You can, you should, and if you’re brave enough to start, you will.” Xxxx

Weigh-in went very well I lost half a stone. So very happy with that. My tinnitus is bad today so got up, couldn’t sleep. It’s worst in a silent room. It sounds like an electric radio is on but not on the channel it’s just buzzing away😭.I think we’re having mince and new potatoes for tea. I’ll try not to have anything before that if I can.Trying to sort out my daughter’s firestick. Her broadband was not good so I fetched it home to try and sort out. One thing I did notice at her house.I logged into her router and there were 6 iPhones connected to it. I think her neighbours are using her WiFi. So will have to put a stop to that when I get chance.

Good afternoon FB Friends,. Xxxx

Another beautiful day .. everything really shooting up now. All the snowdrops in the garden still looking beautiful in the sunshine.
After walking I cleaned bedrooms and stairs…
This evening meal is Chicken fillets .. mashed potato. .broad beans a few mushrooms. Using up things.. I haven’t really shopped since a week yesterday ..
I will need to go on Sunday which suits me.

Day 45 no Alc. I am not feeling so tired today.

Still No new Dental appointment.. Not hurrying to chase up as only a check up.

Nana .. Are you out on Geraldine in the beautiful weather.

Dave.. Well done you on the half a stone loss .. I hope the tinnitus soon goes
that is awful.

H H …Your pancakes sounded yummy .. cant you make Keto hot cross buns lolol
I bet your family love coming to you and taking home lovely food.

Sym.. You sound very industrious I think when you get jobs done it makes you feel like that.
It will be lovely for you all to get Grandson home.

Its just getting chilly .. time for garden play.. Enjoy your afternoon all..

“You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.”Xxxx

Just had my car valeted. Nice and clean and smells nice inside. Bought some paint brushes and a new waste bin at the grange. Some good deals on paint there.I bought some polo shirts at sports direct the ones I have on are 4xl so I got some smaller ones. Only trouble is all shirts are different in size. What’s 2xL in one shop world be XL in another. Depends on the make, why can’t they all be Chicken stew for tea tonight.

The roof is still leaking 😬 they came round asking about it yesterday but we haven’t had any rain until midnight last night. Hope your like the butter beans Hemmy, not a great loss if you don’t but a gain of you do. Not that many calories in them. I’ll try and start the painting in the morning. Just a pain if the roofers need to go in the bedroom.

Evening All..
A lovely day again.. I have been to Hull to collect something last minute I could have done without it as I got in a gridlock in the city centre!

I stayed the same today although my head isn’t back from holiday mode.. must try harder !!

Hemmy..
Lots of snowdrops and daffs out around here.. I must go to cemetery and see if Steve’s have come up, they are usually a bit later. You are very good with your weight. Well done on your 1lb off.

Dave..
Sorry to hear the roof is still causing problems. It must be hard to find.

Hedgehog..
My floor is lovely.. it’s the non slip shower tray, I wouldn’t recommend. I suppose I will get better at cleaning it.
Your HS families seem to come and go with more new ones…well done on loosing.

Going to see Jacqui and Philip for lunch tomorrow..

Jean x

Very quiet on here today.

Good morning everyone. Xxxx

A big change in the weather here today after the beautiful weekend.

Its been so lovely walking without a coat and spending time in the garden… soo back to house cleaning today.
A good weekend with eating .. From today I am trying to see if I can adjust the time of having my main meal… So just had a good breakfast big milky coffee banana on a slice of toast.. Satsuma and 6 walnuts. Feeling very full and will go till 4-5pm for main meal. Prawns on Jacket potato salad.

I did a big shop yesterday at Tesco ” Dave ” Butter beans are in a different place than I expected… I asked a staff and at the moment out of stock.. 47 p a tin.
Not sure what to do today its such a change in the weather lol. Whats every one up to.

Happy Monday.. Success is not final; failure is not fatal: It is the courage to continue that counts.” Xxxx

Evening All…
Bitter cold today, I miss my thermals on 😂.
I had a nice lunch at Jacqui’s on Saturday, Philip has upgraded his coffee maker so I got the old one, plus 6 different cups, 30 pods and a chocolate shaker. So I have been back on coffee.

Omelette for tonight’s meal..

Lazy day crocheting two octopus done and a bit of a rabbit this is a bit slow going…!

Debating on Petanque tomorrow feels a bit cold….??

Dave..
Hope the roof is sorted, I had a lovely steak Sunday very tasty. Good luck on your long fast.

Hedgehog..
Poor Xena falling in the ditch, Charlie worse nightmare having a bath!! You are always so busy, I was once…😂

Hemmy…
I eat about 10.30 then again about 4.30, I seem to have got use to it now. It gives a big window of not eating. I have enjoyed the mild weather back to wrapped up again.

Jean x

Baked potato 😋😋😋 think I’ll have one tomorrow. What to have with it. I bought a tin of ravioli but not had it, never had it before so might try that with it. If I don’t like it I still have the spud too eat. 20 hours since last food. I had a crumpet at midnight. So if I get to bed without eating it will be at least 34 hours maybe 40.
