Ha ha ha Thin, funny….flat white is coffee is it? Maxx is disappointed as he thought there was another shoe on offer. OH said today he managed to open the other side of the shoe cupboard (he hasn’t done that before) and got one of MY boots this time! But luckily OH was there when he did it and rescued it before it was damaged. So now we have the laundry basket in front of that side. Sigh

Penguin, well done on the 7 lbs and well done to Mrs Penguin too. I love history and the thought of having a medieval castle practically in your backyard fills me with awe.

Lindsay your new room sounds lovely but I’m with Thin – are you going to let them get away with the wrong colour? Honestly, how hard is it to do your job people?

Quacka, my head is totally not in the right place either. I know what it is; it knows I will be feasting all weekend so why not start now? Yes, I have been grazing all day and now feel bloated and yuck. I didn’t even go for my walk because my head cold is still there and I didn’t want to go out in the cold wind. Ugh

Cinque, glad you had a great fast day, enjoy your post FD NFD.

I suspect this will be the last post I manage before next Monday morning. When I get home tonight I will be madly packing and tomorrow morning we take Maxx to the kennels after his walk then I have to finish getting ready. We are taking two of my girlfriends and we are heading off at 9.00am so another early start…no different to any other day when our beloved pooch decides to get up it is rarely later than 5.30am and then it is EVERYBODY UUUUUUUUUP playtime!!

Have a stupendous weekend my friends. Happy Fasting to the fasters and happy mindful eating (or not) to the non-fasters

BetsyLee, welcome to the forum. You’ll find lots of help and support here for the 5:2 way of eating. Please feel free to jump into any of the conversations.

Penguin, great to see you back here and to catch up on all your activities. You certainly got rid of that extra holiday weight in a hurry! Congrats on that. When you’re busy with so many other things, food isn’t the top thing on your mind. Finding that there was a medieval castle on your back property is just amazing. Don’t you wonder about all the goings on back then?

Re chips and fries, we not only call chips fries, we call them French fries although they don’t call them that in France. In Paris, many people referred to McDonald’s as McDough.

The cateract surgery went well, but my vision is still blurry in that eye, hopefully only because it is still dilated or hasn’t settled down yet. It feels much more scratcy and some irritation when I blink my eye, but I understand from the handouts they gave me that that is normal. I guess I was just lucky with the other one, that there wasn’t much irritation. My follow up appywith the doctor’s office is early tomorrow morning.

Hope everyone is having a nice day.

8:30pm Thurs, Adelaide

Sorry I’ve been MIA for a few days. I’ve had some really busy days with appointments and other commitments and could manage more than a couple of uncharacteristically short posts.
Today I took advantage of the mild weather and spent most of the day digging out part of the front lawn. I feel so tired I can barely type!

Tomorrow is treatment day for me. I’ll try to find time to do a proper long post tomorrow.

I’ve been so busy I messed up my FDs. I couldn’t understand why I’d pencilled a FD in for Thursday when Wednesday’s appointment schedule seemed to make it a perfect candidate. It was only last night that I realised I have treatment on Friday and I do better if I fast the day before. So I tried to at least do a controlled NFD today – but failed miserably.

Cali, glad you are back from your surgery. Hopefully the blurry sight will have cleared when you awake in the morning.

Have a good evening all. Early night for me.

This old body is protesting this morning. Too much happening. 69.9 this morning will have a controlled eating day.

Went to the nursing home Xmas party didn’t really overeat too much 😳 But had a little of everything. Dinner out with the family prior to my grandsons preschool graduation.

Unexpected day out with a friend tomorrow for lunch. Monday night another trip down south for eldest grandsons 20th birthday and then again next Friday for preschool Xmas party. How did life get so busy all of a sudden.

Going to get the Xmas tree up today so another busy one.

Hope you all have a good day.

Ah, I do love reading the posts when I start my day. Always someone …everyone ….has something interesting to say.

Monday 9 am and down to 29 degrees max today in Brisbane. Whew. Still around 40 in the fire zone though – calmer, but they’re aren’t out of the woods yet (literally).

Thin, here’s something that takes the cake….I emailed the carpet company on Wednesday – still no response. I do like the colour although it has a subtle brown undertone, not the grey I’d chosen (our house is grey brick with feature timber, with pale pale blue/grey floors. We also have some concrete bits so the grey would have worked better. But…there’s lots of light and the house is being painted sparkly white, so I have decided just to go with it. Yes, Anzac and Thin, it’s the line of least resistance, but also as Cinque says, it’s a carpet I can work with, and I do actually like the tone it throws when I open my blinds and the sunshine streams in. My DIL (artist/art teacher) has in the past cautioned about too much grey because it’s such a cool colour, so may be this is serendipitous. More serendipity here in 2013 when we lost a huge grey gum into the pool, during a cyclone. We had it lifted out in two pieces, and the mobile miller came and turned it into timber that we cured until last year, when we had a table of timber and concrete crafted by the lovely men who did our concrete kitchen benches. It was quite a process, but so much better than turning our beautiful old tree into wood chip.

Good work on the Gumtree sale Thin – how satisfying for you both. Is the process difficult?

Penguin how amazing, to find the remains of a medieval castle in an adjacent field. We can only dream of such things here (although it’s similar, I think, when there’s a new discovery of Aboriginal rock art). I’ve visited a couple of these sites in Kakadu – it’s a humbling experience, to think they’ve been there for maybe 15 or 20 thousand years.

Intesha I guess it isn’t called the silly season for nothing. Always a surprise when people you haven’t seen all year text or email to say ‘we must catch up before Christmas’. Why not January, or February?

We are off to have our wills changed today – nothing too challenging, no one’s fallen out of (or into) favour. Just recognising our new GD. DD has been called to work because of the fires so we have the two and a half year old … that will be fun, particularly wrangling her on a bus and in the Public Trustee’s office.

As usual, my post too so long to write there are new posts.

Lindsay, glad to hear that the wrong carpet colour may actually work for you.

Thin, I too am amazed by the poor choices that some people make when it comes to how they spend their food budget. I’m never sure whether it’s lack of knowledge, lack of cooking ability or something else that drives this behaviour.

Xmas tree up. Doesn’t feel like it has been a year since I took it down.

Couldn’t get the whole tree in as it is quite big. It is about twenty years old and still keeps on keeping on.

https://imgur.com/a/wcQsdxE

Intesha, given it’s 20 years old, that tree still looks very good.

GDSA, hope nothing was missing from the second load of materials.

Betsylee, Well done on your first FD. I take a number of tablets every day. For me it’s not swallowing that’s the issue. Some of them make me nauseous if I take them without food. Those I can take without complication in the morning I do so. The others I leave until I eat. On a NFD that’s usually lunch time. On a FD it will either be dinner time, or is I have a piece of fruit mid afternoon then I’ll take it then. Best to check with your GP – some tablets may be essential in the morning some may just need to be taken at the same time each day.
By the way, having breakfast trigger a desire to keep eating all day is very common here – many of us have the same trouble. I rarely ever eat breakfast these days as I can control me eating better if I don’t have it.
Well done on the 1kg loss.

The nurse did my infusion without any problems.

What a day! The will-making session had to be experienced to be believed. All my will needed was an update for the newest GD to be included. Instead, the Public Trustee chap managed to delete both my children, and rearrange the document so that the bequests to the kids and grandkids only came once both my OH and I had passed (which is the point when the kids would get the lot anyway). With my OH, they managed to call his first family daughters his step-children, and double the sum of his bequests, after calling up his original will which was pre-grandchildren. The lawyer was an older chap – nothing wrong with that – but had absolutely no idea how to manage the technology. I had steam coming out of my ears. In the end I called time, and reorganised an appointment with another lawyer next Monday. Now, I just hope I don’t pop my clogs before then (knock on wood and whistle).

Cinque how is the fringe cut go? Feeling swishy and pretty now? Doesn’t good hair lighten the mood?

How is the blurriness Calif? Starting to clear? Must be a relief to have them both done now. I hope I didn’t add to your unease with all the talk of OH’s problems.

Betsy congratulations on the 1 kilo. Some of it will be water – but some of it won’t!

Such a pretty tree Intesha – nice to be getting into the spirit.

And Thin – this will give you a laugh … yesterday on a Council bus I saw some advertising. Not sure what the product was, but it was the slogan that caught my eye….”only 25 more days to whinge about Christmas’. I felt like I’d been caught out 🙂

LH love the little tomatoes – nothing like a cherry tomato just off the bush. And so packed with goodness.

G’day amazed you don’t seem at all worn down by the failings of the folk looking after your building work – was it Anzac who said, ‘people just do your job’. Hopefully it’s nearing the end.

Hi troopers,

The Silly Season Challenge is up. https://thefastdiet.co.uk/forums/topic/the-third-annual-silly-season-challenge/ Most contributors post elsewhere so it only needs to be brief (or whatever you choose).

Lindsay, yes that did make me chuckle. But how will they manage that ad? Will it be changed daily to reflect the number of days remaining? And that simple Will, oh dear. That was a lovely way to celebrate the fallen tree. If you’re keeping the carpet, I’d be asking for a discount! Anything they give you for the inconvenience would be a lot cheaper than your insistence that they do it properly.

GDSA, those tradies are really something. I bet they won’t be getting any WOM recommendations from you. I hope it’s near the end and OH can get his gear out of the boxes and move in properly.

Intesha, lovely tree. All day, I’ve been thinking you meant that you couldn’t get the whole tree into the house because it’s so big – but I’ve finally clicked that you meant ‘into the photo’.

LJ, glad you’re back and the infusion went well even if the food intake lead up wasn’t quite so perfect. I’m sure you’ll be fine.

CalifD, so pleased you’re feeling better today. Wishing you continued recovery for your eye.

Betsy, congratulations on completing your 1st FD. Who cares if it’s water weight? A kilo is a kilo is a kilo!

Selling on gumtree is very simple Lindsay, much easier than ebay which has become bogged down with so many questions, restrictions and rules. I’ve found that withholding my phone number works best in getting people to come when they say they will. It seems with the option to text comes some implicit obligation to repeatedly change the date or time, along with endless texting of poorly constructed sentences requiring me to text back. I’ve so far sold $71k worth of unwanted stuff on gumtree. How did we ever accumulate that much cr*p?

I’ve met loads of very, very interesting and lovely people through gumtree. I highly recommend it both for buying and selling although my focus is strictly on downsizing right now, not accumulating. Everyone expects a bargain on gumtree so you won’t get top dollar – and however low you price your item, someone will still make a ridiculous offer. Sometimes people qualify these lowball offers with comments such as ‘because I don’t get paid until Thursday’. And exactly why are you shopping for a Gore-tex jacket when you have NO money in the bank? If you’re cleaning out your drawers, give it a go. The rest can go to charity – in a way, it IS a form of charity!

Lindsay, I like thin’s idea of asking for a discount (or replacement) of the wrong colored carpet. It would cost them a lot of money to replace it. It looks like you have Yelp in Australia, although when I tried to check it out just now, it was temporarily down. (Or perhaps you have similar social media sites where you could post a review.) Posting a review of the problematic tradie on workmanship or delays is a good way to let other people know what they can expect from this company. It might also be a way to get them to make things right. Here’s an interesting article about a negative yelp review on a contractor: https://www.lifehacker.com.au/2016/06/yelp-is-awful-for-everyone-involved/
I would not have taken the review down without the contractor making things right. (I also don’t publish reviews under my full name, but I guess the contractor in this case could guess who it was by the complaint.)
Gday, maybe this would help for you too.

Good morning, a beautiful morning before a hot day in Melbourne.
Day before fast day for me.

Betsy, fancy sneaking in your fast day a day early. Nice work and congratulations. A great start to what might become your new way of life.
I hope it is easy to incorporate the meds you need to take.

Miso soup is my usual fast day meal. I get really nice miso paste from the Friends of The Earth shop. I soak a couple of dried shiitake mushrooms and yuba (beancurd) sticks and then use the soaking liquid as stock. Then I cook veggies (usually carrot and broccoli) with the shiitake and yuba in the stock (with extra water), and add it to miso that I have softened with warm water in my big soup bowl, and mix. I add salt to make it tasty 😉
It is so wonderfully savoury and filling at the end of my fast day, and lasts me til the next day. Most of the chat about miso soup on this thread comes from me I think! I am looking forward to it through every fast day.

Intesha, isn’t the Christmas season busy! Your tree is just beautiful. I hope you are feeling well today and can enjoy all the lovely socialising.

Thin, you are right about food and education. Hooray for Stephanie Alexander and other iniatives like hers. YamDaisy is back up.

Lindsay I hope the carpet is a serendipitous mistake. As soon as you started describing it I thought the bit of warmth in the colour might set off your home beautifully and so I am with your artist daughter. I hope that it is so. And oh, that table sounds wonderful!

But Oh dear, what a woeful will changing story. Yes, stay alive until you get it sorted!

LJoyce, I hope your sore muscles are settling down, and that day after infusion you are doing well. Tomatoes already! And such gorgeous ones!

I had a good fringe cut. My hair is also very thick and I have a ‘widow’s peak’ that my wonderful hairdresser has to cut a lot out of. She does it so well and I feel great.

Cali I am so glad your eye has settled so quickly. Wonderful.
And wonderful also to consider whether fasting may be helping with my Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. It might! I am definitely on a good run at the moment (touch wood and whistle) and even though I have been scarily busy with different demands on my time and energy, I haven’t yet fallen in a heap. I have definitely been able to do more physical activity lately than I have for years (2 decades). That’s more than I can attribute to carrying less weight.
Fingers crossed it continues.

Gday… Aaaagh! You will be so glad when they have finished everything and are GONE.

Thin. well done on getting the Silly Season thread up. It is such a stressful, busy time with so many expectations to make everyone stressed and set off every bad eating habit we might have. So nice to have a place to make us think ahead, and help us get through.

Well, I am heading over to visit my grandkids before it gets too hot. best wishes to everyone for your day.

I came across this and it gave me a laugh: https://www.instagram.com/p/BqzOuq8jSik/
It is a good fit for what I’m trying to apply myself (and succeeding better some days than others).
The original source seems to be a body builder who seems to be trying to convince his fellow body builders that they have the wrong idea about carbs.

Good morning everyone

Sunday morning and I am up about 1kg from last week’s post FD weight. Not much considering all the food I have eaten and also that I didn’t get to do my 2nd FD last week.
Wednesday was EFS day and then Thursday was my “I’m not going to eat until the Christmas party tonight” day. Well of course that put my focus on food and as I knew it wasn’t a proper FD I was soooooo hungry all day.
Christmas party (well, dinner really) was at a fancy Italian restaurant. The food was really yummy but I didn’t over eat. I had squid ink linguine for dinner which was very delicious but not quite what I expected as I thought it would be black but it was just white pasta and a red tomato sauce. Not sure where the squid ink was in the dish. It was a smallish portion so I didnt feel stuffed like I sometimes do when I eat pasta now. Oh and the wines started at $38 a bottle up to $60! Most of the girls were drinking wine so I think it might have cost the boss a pretty penny just for the drinks bill. Luckily we have awesome bosses 🙂

Yesterday I went over to my friend’s house to celebrate her birthday which is the same day as mine. I helped her make three platters which had all my favourite things on them – cheese, olives, dips, salami etc. I am happy to say that yes I did eat some but I was very much in control. No EFS yesterday! Yay

Well I hope everyone has a lovely day today. I’m off to join thin’s silly season challenge

Take care x

Sounds like a fun weekend, Quacka!

Cinque, I bought a new kind of dried mushroom, a mixed variety, last week and I’ve accidentally soaked far too many for my miso soup today. What shall I do with the excess? Not sure whether to leave them soaking, drain and refrigerate or what? They look like beauties and I don’t want to waste them.

Enjoy cooking all the veggies. I will be doing a big veg shop tomorrow as I’m taking a large rainbow salad platter to my cryptic crossword Xmas party on Tuesday. I’ll be looking for exotic things like purple carrots. I also like black beans against white feta cheese (when I say ‘rainbow’ I mean colourful). Anyone have any other ideas?

Last night, we had the chard from our kitchen window boxes mixed with some silver beet also from the garden. I cooked them in a tiny amount of water for a couple of minutes, drained and served immediately with a tsp of apple cider vinegar. They retained their deep, vibrant green colour and were so delicious. I could’ve eaten a whole plateful of it.

FD for me. Poor DD has to work at the uni surgery today. No time to study for her final exams as the surgical rotation days are 11 hours with notes to write up afterwards & prep work to be done for the following day’s list when she gets home. I have faith that she’ll pass the finals but it’s been such a brutal & demanding course. 15 days and counting ….

It’s a beautiful, sunny morning here in Perth, perfect for a riverbank walk. Tomorrow is supposed to be 36C, eeew.

12:12pm Sun, Adelaide
Hi everyone.

Controlled NFD for me, which didn’t get off to a great start as I slept badly and then made porridge at 7am. Thankfully it didn’t spur a morning of eating which was good. However my best friend has just texted to see if she can shout me afternoon tea at a local coffee shop. Now I’m worrying about how to handle that on a controlled day. I didn’t expect any food challenges this week!

Quacka, sounds like you were able to approach the work dinner in a very sensible way. I’m not sure about the squid ink either. Sometimes it’s in the pasta and sometimes in the sauce, but you can usually see it’s there by the colour. It tends to make a tomato based sauce a purplish colour.

Thin, enjoy the new mushroom varieties. I suspect your daughter has it all under control, but it does sound like a very punishing schedule.

Cinque, what is panch phoran? I’ve never heard of that one.

Update on the veggie patch – the foliage is getting very dense and the lettuce and most of the herbs have gone to seed. https://imgur.com/a/qsNtD5p The only plants that I’m not picking yet are the podded peas (although they are only a week away I think) and the climbing beans. I picked over half a kilo of snow peas on Friday and took half down to my niece. I’ve been snacking on the rest by dipping them in hummus.

Hope the fasters have an easy day.

This is OHs garlic harvest for this year. After being planted too late and not long enough in the ground, I think he has done very well! Looking forward to some tzatziki with our cucumbers and garlic and a myriad of other garlic based dishes!

Thx thin 🙂

I am so looking forward to tomorrow’s FD. I’m never thought I would say that but I have often thought it over the last few months. I have two normal weeks ahead. OH has his Christmas party on Friday but I am not going. I will have the opportunity to have a nice light dinner on my own.

Roll on tomorrow and please , everyone , post lots of posts! I love reading them and no matter how random, they are a great distraction. Post about gardens. Shoes. Food. Medieval castles (how awesome penguin! ). Health. Exercise. Weather. All of the above and much much more.

C u tomorrow x

Hello everyone!

Eek, 33 new emails in my 5:2 inbox and I have to prepare for a scary workshop today that I’m running. I will catch up soon I promise!

Weekend was awesome and the best part is my friend who has just been through cancer treatment had a ball. It was so great to spend time with my closest friends. The concert day was SO hot but still great. Yes, I ate too much but we took lots of cut-up fruit and raw veges and I tried to have more of that than the nibbles so hopefully not too much damage done. Either way, 5:2 to the rescue this week

I hope everyone is ok and I so look forward to reading your posts soon

Anzac, good to hear that you enjoyed your weekend with your friends. How was the music? Don’t forget to head over to the SSC and state your December commitments out loud.

Cinque, the mushrooms were the best ever. They were quite a bit more expensive than the usual shiitakes that I buy for my miso soup. I hope the departure from the stated recipe didn’t add too many extra calories. One of them looked like a sea anemone, was dark and flower shaped and had such an interesting texture. To answer your question, I will be doing the same with the remaining mushrooms. Will it be OK to use that stock with the miso paste or should I stick to water?

Facebook is freaky. I clicked on your video link. Part way through, an ad popped up for a local business that we’re currently using, but whose website I have not looked at (because we were already familiar them). How can this even happen? I am so paranoid – as you know, I don’t even use FB! Anyway, Pollan makes some valid points.

Bracing myself for 36C today. But it’s back to the low 20s tomorrow so I can handle one day.

I wasn’t logged on LJ! I just clicked on Cinque’s link. (Pls excuse error above which should have read ‘already familiar with them’ of course.) So true about what people think re: preparing home cooked meals. I admit I find it a chore but one that I think is worth doing every single day that I can. I have used your idea of working out the plants first and then adding some form of protein rather than the other way around. It works well. One night last week, the OFMs agreed to get takeaway because I wasn’t available in the afternoon or evening. They both went to our local kebab shop at different times and both independently told me it was awful and how much they appreciated my cooking. That was a nice boost.

The mushrooms I mentioned earlier are called Chinese Black Fungi. Please don’t google them, they look awful in the photos that popped up!

Have a great day all.

Cinque, how true is it about cooking at home! I am trying to get my work friend to cook more at home, for her health and also to save her money. She often buys the pre-packed salads at the supermarket which cost between $6 and $8. I encouraged her to cook her own ingredients (she usually likes a Caesar salad) then use them for her lunch for the next couple of days. She did this once lol.

FD going really well today. Attitude is everything!

LJ, your garden is growing beautifully. What type of tree are you planting? I think you were talking about it several weeks ago but now I forgot. Your soil looks like ours. Is it mostly clay or do you have sand mixed in? Lots of rocks, just like here. I’ve never seen a worm tie himself in a knot before! How nice of you to untangle him. 😊

Thin, tell your DD good luck on her finals. It must be a lot of pressure. I’m sure she will be glad when they’re over!

Cinque, that spice blend sounds good. I may have to try making some. I have most of those spices, but many are ground rather than seeds. I liked the link about home cooking too.

Quacka, what an amazing garlic crop! I love the way OH has them all hung up. That ought to last you a very long time.

Anzac, I’m glad your workshop went so well. Even if it resulted in more work for you!

The vision in my eye continues to improve. I can usually read the small print on my iPad without glasses now. I have 3 more days of 2 or 3 types of eydrops 4 times a day. Then I go to twice per day for 3 weeks. It’s so nice to see well without glasses or contact lenses.

Joined the December2018 Challenge and just finished my first FD with it; that’s two done now. Neither has been difficult, and today was relatively easy despite exercising and doing some gardening. Good. Aiming to lose 4 kg by the end of December despite all the Christmas goodies around. Have to lose a LOT overall. This will be a long haul, and maintenance will become a WOL.

Thanks thinatlast for the recipe thread – very useful. And thanks too to Cinque for her actual miso recipe.

Califdreamer, hope your eye has cleared fully now.

LJoyce, great that you could bring your meds down to nothing. My BP med is so low that I’m hopeful that with weight loss and exercise I’ll be able to stop it. I also know that once I lose about 10 kg I’ll be able to go off the Nexium as well. I’m hoping. Sorry to read of your back pain due to the gardening. I wish I could grow some vegetables. I started a vegie patch some years ago, and loved the homegrown vegies for a couple of years. But then a possum suddenly showed up, possibly dumped, and that was the end of the vegies. Yeah, I know I could have put mesh across the whole patch, but in the end took the line of least resistance.

Anzac65, glad you had a great w/e.

Just a note about my name – lee isn’t a surname. When I had to choose an online name, I decided to use a “pet name” my mother sometimes called me, Betsylee. She also sometimes called me “SusieSal” but I like the other better.

Good morning all. FD today, weight 69.7.

Had lunch out with a friend on Saturday and then dinner with the my son and family last night for my grandsons 20th birthday. Can’t believe he is 20.

Been rather down since Saturday when my friend who has been my best friend since we were 5, told me she is retiring in two weeks, selling up and moving north. There has been no mention of any of this and in fact she has been delaying her retirement, even though she is 68, because her partner has had a double hip op and not able to get any benefits due to her working. To be fair her daughter and family are moving there because of a work opportunity and she has 3 school age children.

We have been through all of life’s very hairy stages together and I just felt like another piece is now being torn apart. Selfish I know, not the end of the world but I feel that once she moves and gets caught up in this new life I’ll lose a huge part of my support. Things are only going to deteriorate with my parents and I already feel isolated. Anyway it’s just a woe is me moment and I needed to get it off my chest.

Yes I can go and visit but I don’t like her partner even though I’ve never given any indication that is the case and I would need a very good excuse to explain staying in a hotel

Betsylee you are doing very well. This is not a diet but a life changing experience. I have been doing 5:2 now for 200 weeks. I had so many misgivings in the beginning never thinking I could not eat every day and with the encouragement of these wonderful people on the forum I got through some very dark times. I’m not at the weight I could be but at the moment I am happy where I am. My starting weight was 87.1. I did get down to 65.7 last year and will get there again.

Cali so glad to hear your eyesight is improving.

LJoyce you are a machine. Such an inspiration on just doing it regardless of any personal issues.

Anzac sounds like you had a wonderful weekend. I was only thinking the other day that if at any stage you felt like having a coffee with another 5:2er maybe we could get together seeing as we do not live that far apart. I have met Cinque as you know and also Merry.

Quacka you make me feel hungry reading your amazing dinner. So simple really but sounded delicious.

Well going to finish off some more cookies. My heart is not in but I had them in the freezer and I really want to get them all finished and out of the way.

Have a good day everyone.
