  • Good evening everyone, Denise as been to get her legs done they cleaned them and put a pad and a compression sock on her legs, she’s got to go Monday and Thursday for the next 3 weeks. And is have a dop test whatever that is on the 24th. Another lovely day, don’t know how the bowling went because I went too the doctor’s with Denise.

    Evening All..
    A good walk no cows… might catch up with Natalie’s mum as she’s flying tomorrow..

    Played boules won one lost one. I am playing quite well with my new eyes.

    Sat in a garden with wine relaxing, the boy likes me with him.

    Hemmy..
    Tony was a good friend he was always there for me with any help or advice I needed. Steve and Tony were very close, he use to ring me at 7am in a morning, strange the time came I was thinking about him. Well done on the pound off .,me too lost a pound..

    Dave..
    Glad there has been some progress with Denise’s legs..they are so slow.. hope it all helps.

    Hope all going well hedgehog and Nana.. what are you up too?

    Have a good weekend..

    Afternoon!
    Dave- that’s good they’re finally treating Denise, I don’t think it’s something that can really be cured but more managed, not nice … Keep strong with your goal, & hopefully trading standards do something about the roofers…
    Jean- so sad about Tony, especially with the connection to Steve, hugs to you 🤗 Well done losing a pound.
    Hemmy- well done for you as well! Shame about the bunny, stuff like that upsets me lots too …
    Nana- hope all’s well with you?
    I stayed the same this week, which I expected after last weekend. Mum wasn’t too bad yesterday, quite muddled today, she’s not going out as much, saying she can’t walk as far, it’s partly the dementia I think, losing motivation…I did try to encourage her to come to a keep fit class aimed at the elderly but she won’t. Rang one of my HS families, they’re doing really well so that’s good. Had a haircut, did a bit of shopping, some housework & a bit in the garden. Maybe a day out tomorrow!

    Yes treat yourself HH, you deserve it for all that you do. The sun is out again so summer is almost upon us. Need to do the decorating but just can’t find the motivation at the moment.Jean if this weather continues the cows will be out soon. I do like cows but have to be very careful around them.Denise as got to go to the walk-in centre at the hospital Monday and Friday too have her dressing changed.I will drop her off at the hospital, when I’ve been there it’s at least a 4 hour wait sometimes 6 hours so don’t envy her. She is ok the following two weeks she can’t go to our GP to have it done.

    Morning All..
    Walked in the local country park, more like a forest with walk ways. A fair few dogs about with it been Saturday. I went with Andrea ( Natalie’s mum)

    Need to go for a bit of shopping.

    I am altering dress, having a bit of advice from Andrea, collecting my eggs and she is taking one of Charlie’s harnesses to try.

    Hedgehog..
    Had the day went well with mum, it most be so hard when she has got the dementia but it’s not too bad. Did you buy anything nice or was if general shopping?

    Dave..
    Still thinking on decorating.. I don’t know whether to start or leave it till after holidays.
    It seems a long time to wait for Denise doesn’t she get an appointment time? Or just wait…
    Cows are out one side of the village but not the other… it’s two separate river banks..

    Hemmy, Nana are you doing anything this weekend?

    Jean x

    Good afternoon everyone. Xxxx

    What some beautiful days we are having. It so lovely to be out in the garden..
    I haven’t food shopped since last Saturday .. pleased with myself.
    I was tempted today for some Saturday treats at the local shop .. but no decided against it will do a shop tomorrow at Tesco .

    Jacket potato with cheese and beans this evening. fruit.

    Dave.. Its a long time for Denise to wait… are things really that bad now .. What’s for tea today .

    HH.. Poor Mum and you .. its not easy. Xx You did so well keeping your weight level after a busy weekend and week.. cooking for your men

    Sym… I really need to decorate every room really .. I did the lounge a few years ago and kitchen but all needs a coat of paint again. I cant get motivated and now the garden calls lol.

    Nana.. hope you are enjoying this lovely weather.

    A sporting weekend with Grand National today and Grand Prix tomorrow.

    Enjoy your day friends … “Do one thing every day that makes you happy.” Xxxx

    .

    Hemmy..
    Nice to be in the garden.. I have been altering a dress, so high around my neck it’s now a V..much better.. a summer dress nice for holidays..
    Still collecting bits for my decorating.. I might finish my kitchen sealant around my sink and bottom of the units, only a small bit.
    Then a lot of filling in my lounge around the French door where Charlie goes out it’s very bad…

    I have every room to do it just seems a big job.. no excuse for the garden with me..

    I have had a beef dinner tonight I enjoyed it.. can’t usually be bothered..

    Jean x

    I have had chilli tonight and chicken tomorrow. The walk-in you don’t get appointments that’s why people go because they can’t get an appointment at their GP.I waited 5 hours last time I went. I’ll drop her off go bowling and pick her up if she’s still there. She as appointments for the following 2 weeks. Looking at her ailments online there isn’t really a cure as HH said just manage it. Horrible when you think she’s going to have it the rest of her life. The two weeks are up now and the roofers have done nothing so will have to wait and see what happens next.

    Evening!
    Dave- that’s rough for Denise having to go & wait that long …
    Jean- well done doing sewing, I’m rubbish at it!
    Hemmy- definitely make the most of the weather & enjoy your garden! Indoor jobs can wait ..
    Nana- hope you’re having a good weekend?
    Day out didn’t happen as the road was closed with an accident, detour too far & roadworks…I didn’t mind really as plenty to do at home! Did some gardening, cleaning & cooking- eldest’s birthday tomorrow, he’s coming with gf, asked for a roast & chocolate fondant puddings, youngest hopefully coming too.
    We need to decorate our hall, stairs & landing really, I’m happy to do it but hubby hates it, he does it as fast as possible to get it done & not a proper job, I think if it’s worth doing at all it’s worth doing it properly, so will leave it!

    Good afternoon everyone,Derby day here City v United. I’m blue and Denise is red. She used to go on her own to Old Trafford then with her brother.Another sunny day again. Chloe’s day near the kitchen where the chicken is. 😀

    Good morning everyone. Xxxx

    Its another beautiful day its lovely to get up and see pure blue sky and sunshine after all the winters rain. looks to be another beautiful week Temps upping to 21deg here. I am staying around the house and garden this week I have no timing to be anywhere … thank goodness.

    I was ssoo pleased this morning to see I have come out of the weekend at my lowest weight. Yesterday I only had breakfast and lunch nothing from 2pm till this morning.
    After a good lunch I never felt hungry in the evening so decided for once to give it a go fasting till breakfast..
    Well surprisingly I slept the best sleep for a while so will do that again. I never thought going 18 hrs would suit me but it obviously does.

    Nana hope you had a good weekend in the lovely weather.

    Dave.. I hope you get some result this week re the roofers .. Oh and I have just read Tesco are apologising for no canned beans Butter beans etc .. So problem solved maybe they will get some now peeps are complaining.

    H H .. I dont blame you staying at home re the roadworks its everywhere plus added to that there seems to be so many accidents at the moment.

    Sym.. You are so clever with your needlework ..lovely you can alter things.. plus being a dab hand at DIY .. I am in envy lol.

    Enjoy your day everyone. “The best way to predict your future is to create it.” Xxxx

    Not sure why I keep getting double posts .. going to report it.

    So good they do it twice😁. Dropped Denise off at hospital they have changed the road once your in the hospital so had to reverse a little down a one way street to get out otherwise I would have ended up in a multi storey car park. Sun is out again but was only 2°C when I got up this morning. It’s the first Monday league game of bowls.I was named as first reserve for the game so not sure if I’ll play or not. Difficult to get in the teams Monday and Wednesday.Much easier Thursday and Friday.I think Chloe was in shock going for a walk before 8am, bet she though she was back in training. Have a good day everyone I’ll be back.

    Afternoon!
    Dave- did you get to play? Poor Denise having to go & wait at the clinic…What are you going to do to lose weight now MoreLife has finished, will you go back to fasting?
    Hemmy- well done with your weight, although it’s not surprising as it doesn’t sound like you’re eating much! Enjoy the good weather & the garden.
    Jean- back to fasting today? Have you kept busy as usual?
    Nana- are you doing okay?
    Had a lovely day yesterday with the boys, & a nice long walk together with Xena afterwards. Haven’t eaten since lunchtime, took Xena to the beach this morning, blowy but lovely, have pottered about catching up on a few jobs outside & inside, enough to keep busy but not working too hard!

    Afternoon All..
    Walk with Natalie a bit nippy but came better as we walked.. seeing her tomorrow too.

    I have had a ride out to Doncaster to buy paint and tiles. I bought two tins and got one free so worth it. I got lost coming back I took the wrong turning. Sat nav took me over my nightmare bridge I always avoid it.. about 4” both sides of the car it was bleeping at me it didn’t like it!!!

    Trying to get a bikini, no luck, stay with my tankini and cozzy possibly better for my age 😂

    Sat in the garden with a cuppa with my shorts on.

    A good fast day I really must try harder my tummy is expanding.. 8 weeks to holiday.

    Dave..
    Hoping Denise wasn’t too long at the clinic, you would think they would think of something better than sat waiting.
    Good luck on the footy. The roofers are naughty you will have to chase them up.

    Hemmy..
    I do like messing, all set up for decorating just waiting for this warm weather to pass. Shame not to get outside while we can.
    I did a lot of dress making when I was younger, changed and altered patterns to suit and for both the girls… I remember buying a dress cutting a pattern from it and then returning the dress to the shop 😂. I suppose we did a lot then not so much money.
    Well done on the 18 hour fast and getting to your low weight.. I am still 3 lbs up.

    Hedgehog..
    Lovely to be near the beach to have a good walk, I must go again this year it’s about a hour to drive there. Nice to have everyone around yesterday.
    William’s last day starts his holiday tomorrow and then makes his way home… back the 9th May.. Jacqui is excited but don’t tell him 😊

    Have a good evening..

    Jean x

    Morning everyone x Stayed the same last week when I weighed Friday morning. See what happens this week.
    Went and got hearing aids fitted on Friday morning, never realised how bad my hearing was and as it was such a lovely day OH and I enjoyed a lovely long bike ride afterwards.
    Hedgehogs sounds like a lovely family time for you at the weekend. Miss my daughter being to far away to just pop and visit like we used to be able to do. Facetime with heris good though and she’s really settled in well. We’ll go to visit her soon.
    Dave hope Denise is starting to feel a little better now. Hope you get sorted out with the roofers.
    Hemmy well done on your lowest weight after the weekend.
    Jean I used to love sewing and used to make all of my own clothes, I even made my own wedding dress 👰.
    Off to St Ives shortly as OH has a dental appointment that has been booked and cancelled by them since February, think its because we’re NHS and not private.
    Geraldine has had a lot of outings recently.
    Enjoy your day everyone.
    Nana xxx

    Good afternoon everyone, Denise was at the walk-in for 3 hours then they told her that don’t change bandages. They did put clean ones on her though and because she did a good job of changing her own bandage they said do it again and don’t come back to the hospitaly next door neighbour as got a car so now I have to reverse in between two cars. Not done that since I passed my driving test.

    Evening!
    Jean- nice to be able to walk with Natalie & Oreo when she’s home, & her Mum! Mum did have a spell of making dresses for us, I was not happy! Hopefully you were better at it! What job will William do when he gets back?
    Nana- that’s amazing, making your own wedding dress! Did you get NHS hearing aids or see grandson at Specsavers? You must miss Karen lots, hope you get to visit soon 🤗
    Hemmy- what have you been up to today?
    Still fasting, been okay today. We went to Aldeburgh, to see the sea, resisted fish & chips, or any cake, hubby resisted too…Washed my car when we got back, looks much better, but now hubby’s one looks all dusty, I only did it a couple of weeks ago!

    Good morning everyone. xxxx

    It looks like another lovely day .. I am getting used to these beautiful days.. lovely in the garden.

    Today I definitely need to go and do a big shop as I am going to Leamington Spa tomorrow charity shopping and lunch with Pam . Needing some summer bits as I always seem to have more winter stuff.

    Yesterday my neighbour said she was doing the Keto diet she doesnt have much to lose it will be interesting to see how she gets on with it.

    11 weeks 2 days no Alc

    Nana.. I bet you are missing your daughter it will be lovely visiting. Its been glorious weather for Geraldine outings.

    Dave.. I really feel for Denise.. It doesnt sound like she is getting much help from NHS .. Unfortunately it seems to be a sign of the times.
    have to say I rarely reverse these days.. I don’t like it

    HH .. The cars do seem to be getting very dusty at the moment it makes you wonder what really is in the air.
    Well done on your fasting .. I do think its good for the body to have that break from food and have a rest .

    Sym.. It sounds like you are all set for your decorating .. wish I could get motivated.
    The only dress making I did lol was when we had shift dresses.. just straight up and down oh and they were very short minis lolol Big patterned material .

    Have a lovely day what ever you are doing. Nothing can bring you happiness but yourself.” Xxxx

    Good morning everyone, yes another beautiful day.Prescription sunglasses on.Bowling practice today no game,but playing tomorrow and Friday. Just took Chloe out it’s sunny but cool, my hand is cold.The beauty of Chloe is she dosent pull like the other dogs I’ve had. Trouble is I have to pull her to get her moving.Butter beans Hemmy 😁. Denise is expert at changing bandages now. HH that’s a long time without food, don’t think I could do it that long. Not sure what I’ll do now MoreLife is over.I did ask to update my calorie intake so will see what happens this month.

    Afternoon!
    Hemmy- there’s alot of rubbish info & recipes online for keto, if your neighbour is seriously wanting to do keto you need to keep under 20g carbs every day to get into ketosis, & stick to that for 6-8 weeks to adjust properly, alot of recipes online are low carb & not proper keto, even Michael Moseley’s ones… There’s a forum called The 2 Keto Dudes which is really informative. Hope you have had a nice day out today!
    Dave- you’ve done well too with long fast!
    Finished fasting now, 72 hours, had some avocado which is supposed to be good to break with, bacon & egg shortly. Not so nice here today, cloudy & very chilly! Done our food shopping, saw Mum & have done some cleaning as I’ve done more in the garden with the nice weather .
    Have a good evening everyone!

    Been lovely and sunny here again supposed to be even better tomorrow. Will have to dig out the sun cream tomorrow. Jean well done on the decorating I can’t get motivated, no news from trading standards yet.I have got some Weetabix to help the country out, not enough being eaten you know. Chicken teriyaki for tea tomorrow so may have Weetabix in the morning.

    Evening All..
    We walked the river bank the cows in the next village so make the most of it while they are not moving.

    I joined Barbara for lunch, nice catch up. I went out in a summer dress and sandals I was absolutely freezing!!!

    Decorating has started ..downstairs cloakroom first, so fiddly and tight to get the steps in I have to be careful. Ceiling painted, tiles taken off and wall filled, new tiles on and grouted today. Hopefully walls painted tomorrow, 2 coats will be needed.

    Nana..
    Lovely to get out on your bike.. hope the hearing aids are settling in…

    Dave..
    A long time to wait at the hospital nice she can do them herself now. A couple of lovely days ahead.

    Hemmy..
    Enjoy your day out with Pam tomorrow, hope you can find some bargains. I need a bit of a shop in between decorating!

    Hedgehog..
    A very long fast I hope you get some good results. Hope to get in the garden for a couple of hours at least.

    Jean x

    Good morning everyone,nice sunny day again here. Bowling today so I’ll put some sun cream on now. Just been out with Chloe. Debating whether to have some Weetabix. Might just have a cuppa.

    Afternoon All..
    A walk on the riverbank cows still at the other end near our other village.

    I have got my two coats of wall paint finished, tomorrow or Saturday will be gloss. A bit shattered. Sat in garden now.

    Dave ..
    Enjoy your bowling cream definitely needed.

    Enjoy the weather everyone

    I am fasting today.

    Jean x

    Evening!
    Jean- well done with your decorating, so impressive doing tiling! Hope your FD goes well…
    Dave- hope the bowling was good, nice to be out in this good weather!
    Hemmy- have you had a good day out?
    Nana- sorry, I forgot to ask about the hearing aids, Jean remembered, how are you getting on?
    It was cloudy & cold first thing, so we decided not to go out for the day, I took Xena for a river walk a bit further away, she found a muddy ditch again! We cut down the other big hebe bush in the front, a bit annoyed as hubby said we could get the stumps out, but now decided they’re too big, so it looks a bit messy, I might try a local gardener lad to see if he can do it. Had a normal eating day today…

    I played really well at bowls, Won 21-14against a good player. It will be even harder tomorrow and all next week. We play all the best teams. Got an email from trading standards, they said they would read all the stuff I sent them then get back to me. I have also enquired about having a reversing camera fitted to my car.

    Good morning everyone. Xxxx

    Its going to be a lovely day again.. 21deg forecast the next two days,

    It is going to be just a lazy day for me as yesterday was a long but enjoyable one.

    Lovely shop and lunch sitting outside a café watching the world go by. So pleased as I got a “Super Dry ” brand quilted coat just like new.. beautifully fitted lots of detail to good for walking I think. It was £20 and retails at £99 .. plus of course lots of candles. We are not going to be caught out with last years numerous power cuts

    Just weighed and weight is stable.. I seem to now be having breakfast at 8am .. then lunch between 2 and 3 nothing after that other than a large cup of milky Ovaltine or Horlicks during early evening. .. Cutting of any water etc after 7pm. I am aiming for 6pm cut off. So its got me back interested in a challenge. lolol
    Now up to 2 1/2 pints of water aiming for the recommended 3 for a woman.
    That’s my plan anyway lolol see how I do on it.

    Nana.. How are you getting on with the aids. Is it an outing day today.

    Dave.. Good you have had notification from Trading Standards .. usually companys fear them as they can close people down instantly. Good luck with your games.

    HH .. i hope you have a good result on the scales today .. you have had a good week.
    Have you any weekend plans?.

    Sym.. Oh well done getting your painting going… rest in between in this lovely weather.

    Have lovely day everyone. “Friday is a day to finish your goals so you can enjoy your weekend.” Xxxx

    Good morning everyone, another beautiful day today. Just put my sun cream on. I’ll take Chloe out then off to Sainsbury’s for shopping. Bowling this afternoon.I think when I can get some motivation we will decorate the kitchen first, more room in there for the paste table. Them I can buy my new microwave/airfrier combo and a new bread bin and matching tea coffee and sugar tubs. Nobody as sugar in the house so don’t know what will go in it.

    Got slaughtered at bowls , played the bloke who I played last year. He’s there best player. He won 16 out of 20 games last year. It’s been very warm today is summer here? Have you all had a nice day?

    Good morning everyone yet another beautiful day.Got to be careful I don’t eat to much now I have finished with MoreLife.Holidays to look forward to just hope Denise will be ok to go.Might be a good thing that we are not flying.My cousin as started a family WhatsApp group.He is the only family I have now. Been putting old pictures on and some are very interesting. He’s going to start a family tree so that will be good.His wife did her family and traced it back to the 1600s.

    Afternoon!
    Dave- will be nice to have new bits for the kitchen, shame about the bowls…Family trees are so interesting, my aunt did one…
    Hemmy- well done on your bargain buy! Glad you had a nice day out, enjoy the sun today … You’re doing well with the IF, but that doesn’t sound alot to be eating every day…
    Jean- well done with your decorating!
    Nana- did you have a nice takeaway yesterday?
    We went out to the coast yesterday, the weather was beautiful, nice to have a change of scenery. Resisted all chips, ice cream etc. Popped to see youngest today, his course sounds really tough but he’s enjoying it. Took Mum out this afternoon to a shopping barn place, garden & house things & delis, very expensive but I love window shopping there! Mum’s not been out all week, says she’s too old to be walking about, not got any energy, she told me sister it’s because she’s 88- she isn’t!! She enjoyed it though, will try & get her out to more places but she won’t often come! Food been low today again…
    Have a good weekend everyone 🥰

    Evening All…
    A village walk, it’s been a lovely day.

    I did another coat of emulsion it looks much better now. I went out looking for a vase, I found one in a bric a brac shop, a 60 year old German vase, different blue’s, cream, it’s quite nice, I bought a towel from Tesco’s to match.

    Sat out for a little while with the boy, walked out and when I came back I did the gloss so it’s all finished now.
    Need some new photo frames and a new blind to finish off… utility room next.

    I am surprised how tired I am, surely it’s just not age I feel quite fit really.

    Going to see Jacqui tomorrow they are back from their holiday.

    Dave..
    Interesting doing the family tree, as you know I did mine when I retired. Shame on the bowls it happens, I played awful this week too.
    Where are you going for your holiday I have forgotten?

    Hedgehog..
    Nice to have a day out with mum. I must get to the coast this year I am jealous you are so close.

    Hemmy, Nana.. what are you up to? Sat in the garden.

    Gave a good weekend all..

    Jean x

    Good morning everyone Xxxx

    Its a lovely day again today… then from Tuesday here it looks to be a week of rain.
    We are just having a lazy Sunday .. Basic chores .. walking . then reading my 4th Agatha Raison book.. My neighbour is collecting them so lots to read yet .. I am absolutely hooked on Agatha lol. The writer M C Beaton is brilliant with description. lol
    Its 3 months tomorrow no Alc … I have noticed a big difference in my eating. cravings for sweet things have gone and back to my lowest weight. Yay

    Nana hope your weekend is a good one.

    Dave.. Lots of bowls now to keep to busy and good exercise for you. .

    H H .. Like Sym I am in envy of you living easy reach of the coast.

    Sym.. You will be all fresh with paintwork and accessories for spring. Because of the lovely weather I keep forgetting we havnt had Easter yet.

    Enjoy your day everyone.. ” The great thing in this world is not so much where we stand, but in what direction we are moving.Xxxx

    Jean I’m going to Haworth, member been there but can go on days out from there. You’ll have to stamp my passport for entering into Yorkshire.Hemmy we have watched all the Agatha Raisin TV series very good. The man I played at bowls is there best player, he only lost 4 games all last season. And I could very well end up playing him again in two weeks time. He plays for a few different teams. Think the weather will change today it’s sunny at the moment but there are dark clouds about.I am also well away from the coast but it’s probably a good thing in my case because when I am at the seaside I eat like a horse.

    Evening All…
    A lovely walk avoiding the cows sleeping in our way and back tracked.. making the most before the rain arrives..
    Lunch at Jacqui’s.. she was showing me macrame making key rings.. a new venture for me after my decorating!

    I got the grass cut…

    Hemmy..
    I need to cut my sugar habit, it creeps up on you..although weight is 3 lbs from goal, it’s all round my midriff!

    Dave..
    Haworth is lovely.. I will give you a passport..the rain will spoil bowls and boules…

    Watching the piano on 4, just starting now I enjoyed the last series..

    Evening!
    A lazy day here, short walk with Xena, she’s hobbling still 😢 Weather was nice until this evening, rain now. Will do another longer fast this week …

    I don’t mind the rain when bowling, it slows the green down which suits me. We have 4 extremely difficult games coming up.Denise as got an appointment on 9th May for her knee, but I doubt they will do anything because of her lymphoma.Not had much rain just a few drops so far but the barometer as moved to stormy. Do expect rain and plenty of it.

    Evening All..
    Walked the river bank cows at the other village..

    I did my filling in utility room, ceiling painted and one coat on walls..I think I will get away with one more coat tomorrow…Steve on my shoulder telling me to get more paint on the roller!! Feeling tired now.

    I have had some photos printed to go in the cloakroom, some Australia and New Zealand..they go with my colour scheme…I need to go and find some frames.. none local.

    Hedgehog..
    Has Xena pulled a muscle, is she any better?

    Dave..
    I don’t like playing in the rain, the boules get gritty and mucky… hope Denise gets some news on her knees. We have rain tomorrow…

    Hemmy and Nana
    How are you both doing?

    Jean x

    Evening!
    Jean- you’re working hard! Did you fast today? I think Xena has just pulled a muscle chasing after her ball, hope that’s all it is anyway…Josie got arthritis in her shoulder at a similar age 😢
    Dave- hope the roof doesn’t leak too much if you get lots of rain! Poor Denise, can’t imagine they’d be able to do the knee surgery if her legs are too bad? 😢
    Hemmy-hope you’ve had a good day, & Nana too…
    Been a strange day, did a few pottering about jobs inside & out, don’t feel like I’ve worked too hard, feels like it’s been quite a long day though! Spoke to my Aunt, she’s having surgery tomorrow for some skin cancer, she’s got to have a skin graft. My Uncle is doing a bit better with his Parkinson’s though.
    Fasted today, aiming for another long one… youngest son will have his passing out parade early June, so an incentive to keep on track!

    Good morning everyone Xxxx

    Its a big change in the weather .. looks to be wet all day here and back to being chilly after the beautiful sunny days. Such a shame with Easter arriving.

    Is anyone doing anything special this weekend… It will be a quiet one here .. Kristy is busy getting packed and sorted as they are moving to Dorset. Hopefully the sale goes through smoothly. It so beautiful there and near the beach.

    I think I will cook a small joint of beef to have hot then cold for the weekend. am not interested at all in Buns or chocolate.. isn’t it weird that happens when I dont have wine. Over 3 month s now. Its definitely addictive..re sugar

    Nana Are you out and about.

    Dave.. I hope the rain doesnt stop play for you.

    H H ..You are doing so well with your fasting ..Easter week end looms though to tempt us. .

    Sym.. You are doing so well with your decorating it all sounds lovely nice to have it all fresh. .

    Enjoy your day everyone.. stay warm and dry “Tuesday is like a practice round for the rest of the week. It’s okay to stumble; you’ve got a few more days to get it right.” Xxxx

    Morning everyone a very wet and cold start to the day. We had a curry night with our Newmarket friends last night and it was raining heavily as I drove us home, we got home at half past one this morning, however, I still woke up at the same time. I’ll be feeling it later on😴 A lovely evening spent with friends and it definitely wasn’t my usual 1300 calories for yesterday.
    Managed to lose a half a pound last week.
    Hemmy I’d ideally like to lose three stones but would settle for two and a half. Yes Geraldine has been out quite a lot recently with all of the lovely weather that we had.
    Hedgehogs I’m getting on really well with my hearing aids ,I hadn’t realised just how bad my hearing had got. My hearing had never been as good since I lost my hearing and voice totally for two days due to having Covid.Whilst having my hearing test done i mentioned this to the girl doing my test and she said that she’d had quite a few people mention it happening to them after having Covid 🤔My grandson works at Vision Express who sadly don’t do hearing testing, so I used Specsavers who are really good.
    Jean well done on the decorating not a favourite thing to be done in our home as we hate the upheaval of it all.
    Dave hope Denise is getting on a bit better, we met a friend of yours yesterday whilst we were out and she has lymphodema and has to keep going to Addenbrookes Hospital for it to be checked on. She’s got herself a blue badge for herself which helps with parking at places as she’s unable to walk very far. Maybe Denise is entitled to having one.
    We’re going to be off on holiday Monday to Friday of next week to Heacham ,another one of our favourite Norfolk places to go.
    Will try to remember to come on here before we go away.
    Enjoy your day everyone.

    Nana I’ll look into that a blue badge would be very handy for Denise.I don’t think she will be able to have her knee done while she got lymphoedema and that’s for ever I think. See what they say at hospital on may when she goes there.Bought a dash cam so been watching how to hide all the cables on YouTube. Better go and pick her up now.Waiting for a delivery from Amazon, bet they come while I’m out. Hope they don’t leave it on the step.

    Afternoon!
    Hemmy- you’re doing well with no sugar & no alcohol! I definitely think the keto is helping me with not overeating. Will Kristy be much further from you when she moves? Do you think you’ll visit?
    Nana- Glad you had a nice evening out, did you have a nap? That’s nice having another break to look forward to, hope the weather is decent…Good idea the blue badge for Denise!
    Jean- hope you’ve not overdone the decorating, did you miss boules today?
    Dave- well done sorting the car cameras! Hope it helps with the parking.,.
    Fasted through until just now, have been cleaning & decided I need some energy! Cleaned under the settee & chairs. Saw my sister this morning, we went out for coffee, soaked on my walk with Xena before that. Seeing a friend for coffee tomorrow as well as shopping. Mum’s coming for dinner Good Friday, seeing eldest on Thursday, nothing planned for Resurrection Sunday yet…
    Have a good evening everyone!

    Evening All..

    Hemmy..
    Is Kirsty moving far from you? Hope she can still visit… 3 months without the naughties you have done so well. Good idea on the beef.. I do like small joints or a chicken keeps you going a while, makes it easy.

    Nana..
    I quite enjoy decorating as you say everywhere’s a mess… I have popped the stuff back in the garage as I have stopped for a few days.
    Sounds like a good night out with friends, long time I was up that late.

    Dave..
    We have to go for an assessment here for a blue badge.. they have cameras outside to see how you walk and if you need help. Steve had to walk up and down the corridor..
    It’s definitely worth a try.

    Hedgehog..
    Hope you got all the cleaning done it’s quite fiddly under the electric chairs.
    We had a bit of rain so no boules for me.. decorating on my mind.. I think some might have played.

    Tomorrow seeing Jacqui at a garden centre, half way between us, hoping for breakfast.

    To bed now..
    Night..

    Good evening, not had much rain here thankfully. The dashcams are not any help for reversing,I have sensors on the car and surprisingly I’ve managed to reverse between two cars very comfortably. The pictures are great and I can send them from the car to my phone without taking the card out of the camera.
