I am not in pain anymore and I have just thrown myself on the scales and lept off in such dissapointment!!
00.3lb.2oz... that means I have had a gain from 00.11 lb . 8 oz!!! Let us say about 5 lb in two weeks... *S**t C***p B******s*
Well now I am feeling better after 12 painkillers a day and 2 anti biotics and 1 stomach tablets... so are they fattening?
I know I wasn't left with a lot that I could eat as I couldn't open my mouth! But for goodness sake ..... well not going to moan.. I did have some birthday cake that I made for my Daughter... who has gone home now :(
Just going to have to get back on the wagon and lose those pounds now along with the extra stones I want to shed!!]
The weekend with my family went farrrrr to quickly... but it did seem that all I was doing was cooking and cleaning! ... Didn't spend half as much time as I wanted to with Daughter, we didn't even get in the pool at the same time. Also never got any photos.. but I will look at the camera as I am sure Daughter took some!
My lovey niece is with us for two weeks now so we are going to be doing different things every day now...
I thought we could kick start today off with doing the March DVD and then a dip in the pool... maybe a walk later... will have to see!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
20.50 pm
We did the March Dvd.. LM (Niece) was being lazy and not doing all of it.. but we did have a laugh... then we went swimming for about an hour or so....
Got out to make some lunch.. was really nice...
The day has gone really quickly.. and I am still in shock that I have put on so much weight in such a short time!! *Gutted really...*
LM is allowed on the pc to play Sims 3 *think she is addicted to it already!!* then it is off to bed...
We are reading a goosebumps book... The Egg Monster. She is doing really well... we take it in turns to read a page each. I love reading time with her... we snuggle up and really get into the story. I love to do all the sound effects and make her jump.. she then giggles... *She is so much like my lovely departed sister*
Think I will be in bed early tonight myself! Feel worn out.. think all the lack of sleep while in pain with the face/tooth is starting to catch up with me.
Just heard the news.. what is Alan Sugar doing in the houses of parliament!! *Oh maybe we can all get in!* Well maybe this one won't need to steal from the government for his personal use...
Reading time.. may be back later.....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
22.51 pm
Just remembered I haven't put down what I have eaten today... and I do have to start to be strict with myself again don't I!! Tut.. thought you were keeping me on track!!
B: Pineapple, nectarine banana and yogurt
L: Bean and potato soup *Homemade of course!* and ice cream
D: Spag bol... Pork .. HB
Syns..Parm cheese.. 1.5 syns.
HA = HB = Pork
Workout... Half hour march and swimming!
Total Synergies... 1.5 out of 105
So not bad today eh!! Think I might have some more ice cream as I can dig away at that and it is free!
GOS has taken control of the telly since dinner time and tonight it has been all space things.. over and over again... *Yawn*
Gee I am tired. Then again it is nearly 11.15 pm here!
Oh never told you... my father and GOS looked at the Dishwasher.. and he had not got the right part... so back to washing up in the sink... god help that machine when I do get the right part,.. it is in for a beasting!!
So back tomorrow all... *Must think thin.. think thin woman thin thin thin!*
Yes thought I would title it with a song theme today... *Seems like I have been up for hours.. so maybe I am feeling tired!*
Resisting the urge to get on the scales as not got that feeling I am losing anything this week. *Hangs head down low*
I dont' think I am eating enough and I think I am eating too much fruit! No.. really.. I eat a lot of fruit... and after all it does contain natural sugars and calories. *Wonder if that is what is upsetting my tummy too.. kept waking me again in the night* My goodness.. with my stomach.. night sweats and everything else.. no wonder I am a wreck at the moment!
I was thinking of ways to inspire weight loss... and then came across this... this will make you think!! *It did me!*
BODY FAT
Yes rather nasty isn't it...
Having looked around .. they say that you have to eat less approx 3500 calories a week to lose 1lb of body fat... but this also depends on lean muscle loss as you can also lose that.. which we think is fat loss... but because we are all different.. it doesn't mean that if you cut back 3500 calories you will lose that weight.!! Gets complicated doesn't it.. *So see where I am coming from with this fruit thing.. so much for the government to say.. 5 a day!*
Thought that this was rather a nasty image too.. if you can visualise fat every time you eat.. it might make us eat a little less! *What do you think?*
So I feel I need to revise my eating plan... *Again.. but this is life isn't it* Thing is.. if you look at my eating... there doesn't contain a lot of fat in it.. so if I were to cut out even more fat from that.. what would be left...*So must be the fruit*
But for now.. I have my list of things that I need to crack on with.....
Must finish wall.. so off I go.. *When I have finished my coffee that is!.. stop being so pushy*
But this did make me chuckle...
Ok enough for now.. this isn't get the wall done it is?
BBL...........................
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
12.43pm
Painting...first coat on.... waiting for that to dry.. then on goes the next... *Getting hot painting with all these coats on!* Have another wall to paint but that is a deep red.. so waiting till I have done one to do the other.. but just washed part of it down... *Fingers crossed I have enough red paint left*
GOS got up... got his coffee.. took the paint upstairs from the cellar for me and I have not seen him since... in the mean time.. I have painted the wall...done all the washing up.. cleaned the kitchen and now having a cuppa before I get on with the wall again.. then there is a pile of cleaning to do .. not to mention the ironing... *Am I doing something wrong here?*
To top it all off... I have a wisdom tooth half through on the left side lower *Opens mouth wide to show you.. aaarrrrrrhhhhh* and it is getting painful... *Wants to go back to bed!*
Don't have much time to sit and goss... some of us have things to do!!
*Sneeze... sneeze.. darn hayfever.. or is it dust!*
Ooooooooo comments.... I love comments... thank you ANON!

1.20 pm
Thought I would take a look at my HORRORSCOPE!
July 10, 2009 It's hard to control your dreams, for they seem to overflow right into your waking life, making things even more confusing than they already are. But don't try to justify yourself to anyone today. If you aren't sure how to handle a situation, pull back a bit until you know what to do. Temporarily retreating is wiser now than pretending that you can tell where your fantasies end and reality begins.
Opps... maybe I need to shut up today!! *Drat..drat and double drat* Maybe tomorrow will be better let's see....
July 11, 2009 The Moon's return to your sign can brighten the colors of your dreams and soften the edges of reality. You are lured into believing things that hug dangerously close to the edge of irrationality -- that dividing line between fiction and fact. Some of your beliefs will flip-flop back and forth, so don't put your final answer into writing until you wait and see what happens over the next couple of days.
*Oh no.... does that mean I have to be quiet for a couple of days*
Nah... how can you shut me up!! *No I don't want answers.. like hey there fattie!*
Got toothache... *Sobs.. then looks up to see if you really care*
Going back to my Shirely Valentine wall... bbl....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 3.46 pm
Darn tooth is hurting.. well gum is!! Now also the side of my tongue... I keep washing my mouth with antiseptic mouth wash... *Screams why meeeeee!*
GOS is in a bad mood... I rang him to say come look at the wall.. *Only downstairs in his music room* as was pleased with it besides the staining coming through again.. must be something in the brick? *Which is annoying and has stumped me so far!* But thought we could discuss it...*As in .. maybe I could reseal the wall again* .... well boy was I wrong! I promptly got told that all I do is complain, would have been easier if he had done it.. and to leave it and he will do it! *Wanders off feeling really unloved :((*
Just cooked his food.. now going to finish my cleaning.. as I had the music on the sky and GOS turned it over to watch his racing.. and now has gone back down below... Maybe he will come up again when he wants feeding.
Now you know why I ramble so much!! I don't just have a wall I have a house to do my Shirley Valentine on!
Going to do some more cleaning... Such joy!
BBL.............
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Nearly 7 pm
Fed up.. *Don't want to talk about it...:((*
This is one person who really does some blogging... crafty stuff and something about Candy... *Me thinking it was chocolate* But I believe it is crafting candy... looks good though...
Well must be time to do the dinner... I have done most of the painting.. but of course another coat is needed... *Will find it really hard to move if I have to wear anymore*
Dining room area is all clean... Lounge area is all clean.. done the hallways... and kitchen floor.. tomorrow I want to do the kitchen cupboards.. and utility room... hoping I will still find time to do the washing .. ironing.. mow the lawn and weed the flower beds... *Superwoman.. yeah I wish*
Might just do myself chop and wedges... GOS... well. not sure really what to cook without the thought of getting my head bitten off... *Wonder how much I would lose weight wise then... my brains must way loads!*
BBL...
If you could be anyone in the world.. who would it be and why?
I think I would like to be GOS.. cause he has someone that loves him no matter how much he shouts... and well can do what he likes and get dinner cooked etc... Not bad!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Nearly 8.00 pm
I am showered again.. so gone is Yeti 3!... Tooth/gum still hurting.. can't stop sneezing and have a headache and starting to ache all over..... yep the day is just getting better and better. *Oh is it Swine Flu ! ..Nah will be negative energy that is floating around the house*
Dinner is on... so that is one thing.. just not sure how I am going to eat mine... *One way to lose weight I guess... *
So hungry now... *Now I have got over my anger*
Daughter might have someone to swap her shift at work... *Whhoooo hoooo* It does mean that she will have to work 10 straight days..but she is young.. she can take it! *So is there a god.. oh no... now I have said that.. something else will happen!*
Had email from the said Father's Lady Friend. I sent her one.. did I say.. just to clarify things... and she sent me a nice email back... Think she might be a little worried.. but then again I would!!
Going to watch the box.. see what is on... Maybe Come Dine With Me... I like that... *Yes it is official I am a bore!*
*Runs to kitchen to make ice-cream... yes the SW Free one.. will help to numb the gum... hopefully*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
11.10 pm
Gave in and took a couple of tablets for my mouth... starting to feel a bit better.. still got headache.. so hoping it will kick in for that too soon!
Still got the dishes to do.. *Bah* Thought GOS might suggest he do them after being mean.. *Silly me*
Total Synstodate... 44 out of 105
B: Rice, yogurt, nutmeg
L: Apple pear
D: Pork Chop.. roasted veg jacket spud and LCL Cheese
AT:3 nectarines.. banana
HA: 1 x Milk LCLCheese HB:Pork Chop...2 slices of ham
Not sure where the weeks are going.. but as long as I am still losing weight.. I guess I shouldn't care... *But then whats the point of being a slim old age pensioner when you can't wear the trendy stuff*
*Mmm... maybe not!!*
Have been messing around with some widgets today.. and have been looking to see if there is a way to set up a recipe section... *Still working on it .. but it won't beat me!
I was saying to myself today.. NOPE.. don't get on the scales.. but I did.. and it read...00.11lb 6 oz... *Up down up down.*
Still no news on change of day off for Daughter... *Starting to stress me out now*
Had a total binge out last night..*Don't know what happened*
Total Syns todate... 20.5 out of 105 and we are only on Wednesday!
Might just have some fruit for breakfast.....*Really missed not having any in.. why is healthy food cost so much*
List of things I have to try and get through this week..
Weed some of the garden
Mow lawn
Clean boys out
Change spare beds
Hoover top lounge
Re-skim lounge wall and paint
Make cards for 18th birthday
*That will do for now*
But feeling so tired.. these darn hot flushes are starting to drive me mad and have noticed in the evening my darn bones ache... *I don't want to get old*
Must pull myself together!
BBL............................
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
OMG!!! 4.35pm
Where has the time gone!!...
Nothing prepared for dinner either... no idea what I want.. might do spag bol that is quick and easy.
When we went out yesterday GOS and I got this bag of plaster... well I kid you not.. by the time I mixed it put it on my hawk.. got up the ladder and put it on my trowel to put on the wall it was nearly set.. I got one sweep across the wall and that was it... not like UK plaster where you can wet it and smooth it over either... *Total disaster... just hoping I can sand it down...more dust!! Oh and I will look like a Yeti.. hate being covered in dust!*
I can't believe it... so gutted.. wanted that all sanded down today so I can get on with painting it in the morning and then getting my house back in order..*Bah*
Food front isn't going well today... just had an apple... I need to drink more.. *Wine would be good and into a real drunken stupor at the moment the way that wall has made me feel...I tell you Shirley Valentines wall wouldn't have done that to her!!*
My hair feels like straw...today isn't turning out as planned. *But still must think thin*
Was wondering today.. do people think my rambling are bizzare.. cause really they might be normal.. I mean we all have odd thoughts and what is an odd thought anyway... I mean ... if I had told you 100 years ago *Not that you were around then or I for that fact* that you would be sat with a keyboard and screen and typing to people all over the world... that is bizzare!
I have just been informed that my father's lady friend is coming to visit... Mmm now where do I put her... Do I allow her to stay in my father's room? What if she doesn't want to? Well I will just make beds and hope for the best. Might tell him I have put light senor alarms round the house.. so not to wonder around ...*Hehehe.. oh is that mean?*
Nice to notice that I have had the odd message left on the side panel... doesn't make me feel so alone... *Puts hand to brow and lifts head looking all lost*
I knew I should have been in television...Drama Queen no doubt GOS would say!
Well sitting here on my butt isn't going to get that wall done now is it... So glad really you can't see me... here I am .. white dusty hair... white vest top and red cut off trousers that are too big and red crocs!! *Not attractive I tell you* Oh and this darn plaster stuff down my chest and a dusty hand print on my butt..
*Sneeze.. sneeze..* Time to clean up...
BBL..................
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
5.10 pm
Just had a thought... Are bat wing tops back in fashion? *As was thinking about dinner ladies arms and what best way to hide them than in a batwing top!* Ahh I remember those days... even remember rara skirts... not that I ever had the legs to wear them.... Some of my school friends did... *Hate them all .. hate them do you hear me hate hate hate.... Oooo wonder if most of them still look good...?*
I did remember a few years ago seeing one girl from school... in fact was hard to recongise her... she was walking along the sea front with a push chair and another child holding on.. she looked shattered.. worn and well dragged through a hedge backwards... *Was mean of me to revel in that moment.. but I AM human.. well mostly* She had dark rings round her eyes.. crows feet wrinkles...she looked a wreck... and I thought back to how she was before .. at school.. the pretty girl.. everyone wanted to look like... slim.. lovely hair.. sparkling eyes.. lovely smile.. attracted people.. *Like flies to s**t.. opps sorry!* And now there she was... worn out.. then I thought.. I wonder what life had thrown at her... my feeling of self pride for not looking like that soon passed and turned to pity as such. She could have had a terrible few years and that made me feel rather sad... *But it didn't last and I went off feeling better about myself!*
I guess what I am saying is... make the most of what you have as you never know when it will be gone!... I am sure we have all had better times.. but then doens't mean we are not again... so keep smiling...
*Oh all that thinking has made me hungry.. *
Still not done my dance for GOS.. you know the sexy one I was on about.. .. *was thinking of Pole Dancing again... but not sure my wrists could cope with it.. let alone the pole...might have to give it more thought*
BBL..............
I have to make GOS ice cream today.. *Sulks*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
7.30 ish pm
Well all showered .. spag bol is on.. thin pasta is on.. and I thought I would nip here.. just while it is cooking...
Ouch... I sneezed earlier and pulled a muscle in my back.. *Now that is a sign of old age*
Oh brother on phone!
BBL...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2.57 am
I know... what am I still doing up! Was watching the box and it got me thinking.. *Dangerous I know!*... but was thinking to why we allow ourselves to get overweight.. insecurity..something to hide behind.. lack of confidence.. being told that your not good enough... there are so many reasons...
Having been sent a photo of myself prior to my 4 stone weight loss.. it does really upset me. How could I have allowed myself to get like that? Why allow myself to get like that even! I am not going to come up with excuses.. which I know I have... but have now realised it is all down to self worth.
No one has a right to make us feel that we have no right to be who we are.. or feel how we do... but some still have powers above that manage to drag you down. Myself.. sadly never having a good relationship with my biological mother and throughout the years.. it has affected me deeply and still does. It wasn't till I was talking to a good friend that it really made me think.... I have spent my whole life worry about what others think of me... I had always been told that what ever I did or do was never good enough... always trying to please... so no wonder I never have had a good opinion of myself.
My whole life.... and what a waste that is... I know our past is what makes us who we are today... but those are years... many years that I will never get back.... My friend is very confident.. and I have to say... she is wonderful... she has spoken to me on my good days and bad days... and she never lies to me...and I have the utmost respect for her. It was talking to her...that makes me think... or should I say think more.
One day I have to cut these painful ties from my past to move forward...and I feel this is one of the reasons I have for many years tried to hide behind... but I am going to try to stop hiding... and learn to be and love me! *Not going to be easy.. but I will try most things once...*
I am glad that I have taken the step to change my life... and often when people take step forward ... they do a lot of self discovery... also sometimes partners don't like seeing change... they react not always in a good way to start with. But I think we have to remember why we are wanting to change our lives... and who we are doing it for... Me it is for me... just for me.
Ahh well.. enough serious rambling...*Going to practice some sexy moves before I perform for GOS*
Again woken by my tummy... seems that every few months it has a flare up and takes a few weeks to settle down...
Trying to be good and not place myself on the scales lol... not sure how long that is going to last though! The lovely birds are still twittering away.. I am sure they have also camped outside our bedroom window and sing their loudest just to annoy me in the morning.
Pleased to see that it has been raining during the night...hopefully may save some of the grass that is playing dead in the garden! I am not sure if today it will rain again as one moment the sun is poking it's head out and then the dark clouds appear. To be honest would be nice to have a day of chilly weather. *Might help with the hot flushes!!*
Hopefully going out today to get some food shopping done.. *No, of course I don't enjoy it... oddly enough why is it men think women love food shopping?* but it is great to have fruit in to eat and not have to struggle to think what to cook for dinner! Last night I put a chicken curry on, *It didn't suit me!* and it has been in the slow cooker all night so should be lovely and tender for later on this evening.
GOS is downloading and the net now is soooooooooooooo slow!
Brrr.. it is actually rather chilly out there! Just been to give the boys some treats.. also noticed a darn molehill!! *Please tell me it isn't staying!* Last time they trashed my lawn..
Going to try and finish the wall today... need to sand it down now and see what it looks like...and then hopefully paint it!
Serves me right doesn't it.. just got on the scales.. and it says 00.12 lb 4 oz... *Think I need to sleep more*
I need to keep tighter reign on my food diary I think....So through out the day.. I will keep one section of what I eat in bold...
B: L: D: Chicken Curry and rice followed by two tubs of home made cinnamon ice cream... *Lush!*
I think I will start a recipe section..*Gee your full of good ideas lol... now just have to figure out how to do it!
AT: 1 pear, 3 small bananas, 2 apricots, and 2 nectarines!
HA: 1 x Milk
HB: Chicken
SYNS (1.5) = 40gm plain crisps 8 syns = 9.5
Brackets are from the previous day(s) so I have a running total.. there that should keep me on track!
Oh.. what to do.. go for a nap or sand the wall down... Mmmm *wavers hands in the air* will drink my coffee first and then decide.
There once was a little boy who had a bad temper. His father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, he must hammer a nail into the back of the fence.
The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence. Over the next few weeks, as he learned to control his anger, the number of nails hammered daily gradually dwindled down. He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence.
Finally the day came when the boy didn't lose his temper at all. He told his father about it and the father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper.
The days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone. The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence.
He said, "You have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same. When you say things in anger, they leave a scar just like this one. You can put a knife in a man and draw it out. It won't matter how many times you say I'm sorry, the wound is still there. A verbal wound is as bad as a physical one."
How we should all think before we speak.. of course me being me.. I always do! *Yes because I am perfect.. Mmmm*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1.35 pm
Going to be going out soon.. thought I would look at tomorrows HORRORSCOPE.. see what it has in store for me...
July 08, 2009
You may be weary of sharing so much emotional intensity. Or, perhaps, you just long for a vacation from your own romantic attachments. Either way, the Moon's entry into your private 12th House today amplifies your need to be alone or to keep your feelings to yourself. Don't worry about how others might respond to your desire for solitude. They will be happier once you return from your little retreat more relaxed and refreshed.
Oh.. is that good or not.. I will decide tomorrow.
*Told you sleeping was good for me!!* I got up and re weighed myself and hey presto 00.10 lb 8 oz!!!!! I know it won't last as I have to eat today.. but waiting till we go out and I can have some fruit.. ooo I want fruit !!
*Mmmm... I seem to have lost my colour option on this blog... what is a woman to do!!*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
7.50ish pm
Nope..still no colour option *Screams loudly* Maybe it will be back tomorrow and it is just this post.
I survived the shopping trip... I need to get dishwashing liquid... yes cause the dead dishwasher is still playing dead. Mind you .. GOS still hasn't looked at it... *I do.. I look at it and swear and curse*
So hence I got back from shopping and had to unload it all... then wash up and clean my kitchen... then.. *This is while GOS is sat watching telly.. yes I know!! can you believe it!* cook him his eggs on toast!
I was at this point starving having not had anything to eat all day... *I told you that earlier are you not paying attention*
Off I went to my room with.. are you ready for this.. it is shocking!!
A pear, 3 small bananas, 2 nectarines and 2 apricots and of course my diet free caffiene free coke. *What a pig.. but I do have two meals to make up for today don't I*
Can't make my mind up if I prefer my deep thoughts to be bold or italic.. might do both... *Yes.. cause I can!*
Still no sign of daughter getting someone to do her shift at work... *I will send out thoughts that they are all really sick with the runs on their days off now if they dont' help her out*
She is so set on coming and I don't want her to lose her job over it...I am sure by law that she is entitled to holiday pay... but they will no doubt say she is.. but not unless authorised... We will see what her line manager comes up with... so all keep your fingers crossed for me!
The curry is smelling just wonderful...I can't make my mind up if I want brown rice or white with it..either or.. but brown takes longer to cook....
*Got an older.. well one I haven't been able to get into till now... shorter nighty out.. it has a short gown with it too....In a lovely cream colour with a satin pattern stitched on it... might do a dance to entice GOS later...either that or will give him a heart attack!* He will probably look at me and say... "Arent' you cold woman.. go get some clothes on"
*Slurps at diet coke* It is no good I have to go eat... I am hungry.... oh yeah.. I am going to make some ice-creammmmmm!!
BBL...
*Walks off practicing dance moves for later on...shimmy.. shimmy.. dip.. jump up..hair flick...*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
11.35 pm
Just finished the washing up!! Bahh... but I did get new gloves... nice pink ones .. but they never last me long.
Dinner was wonderful.... I will write that above and even put some pictures in.. so you can drool at how nice my dinner was!!
Yay.. figured out what I had done... doh! *But not going to admit to doing anything ..as it is back again!*
Tonight.. well it is nearly over.. but thought I would just come and put those photos on...a friend of mine might be reading this from work and I know she will be drooling when she sees the ice-cream..... *Yes I did really enjoy it!*
It is a SW free ice cream but also works out syn free on Weight Watchers I am sure!
Off to watch Come Dine With Me... would love to do that I think.. but I would probably be lumbered with a load of idiots... *Well they always do one lovely person (Me) and the others are prats!!*
Well good night all... I wonder what tomorrow holds...
*Hopes she gets up out of bed an leaves the extra pounds on the sheets*
Where has the week gone? Yes of course I threw myself on the scales this morning.. in fact I picked them up and moved them around the bathroom to check they are still working ok.. why? Well they still say the same... 00.12 lb 8 oz! I know.. nothing up nor down.. odd isn't it.. *Do you think I have little fairies holding me up from behind that I can't see?.. Poor them!*
But it is great news isn't it.. but not getting excited yet as I have to wait till Monday for my official weigh in.
Goodness hasn't it been hot, hot, hot! I know I am a hot little tottie!... but I have gone past hot and gone into major meltdown!
I did a little swimming yesterday.. needed to to cool down.. was lovely.. the water was around 27 when I got in.. the base was a little cooler.. but was fantastic.. so did my whale impression in there. Even GOS came in for a while...but no Blue Lagoon for us!
GOS is downstairs in his music room with some others jamming... He seems in his element.. so that makes me smile. I can hear the thudding of the drums and the twanging of the guitars but I have tuned out.
Just went to hang the washing out... and I got to thinking now.. my daughter does her own washing and hangs it out.. hope so and not all in the tumble dryer. I was thinking how she wears these tiny little things.. thongs.. to me they are like a quarter of a napkin and some elastic! *But was thinking this as I was hanging mine out.. nothing sexy about hanging a yard of material with a ton of elastic out on the line .. now is there!*
Oh the music has stopped... they must have finished. Ahh.. off they trot out the door with all sorts of musical instruments. I did notice they didn't ask me to sing! *Their loss*
Eton Mess...with Jelly - Recipe for a fellow twitter!
Make up one sachet of Weight Watchers Jelly crystals and divide into four ramakins # leave to set.. Get one meringue nest and cut in half and then in half again. Mix some sweetner with O% fat natural yogurt or you can use a muller light flavour one? Some mixed berries (I used the frozen ones they are nice)
Get a dish....
Tip out your jelly in the middle Add the yog and throw some berries on top.. then crunch up your meringue on the top. You might want to dust the top with sweetner as sometimes the berries can be a little tart!
All four puds would then add to 3.5 syns!
I have a picture on another post of this but without the meringue... as without that it is only 1/2 syn for the four.. so if you wanted to eat the lot.. you can!
Pork chops.. I am so uninspired as what to do for dinner... too hot to think about food. Unless it is bars of oozing chocolate with some crunchy biscuit.. oh yeah yorkie bar .. the one with biscuit... *Drools*
I have been checking the cooling disc for the ice cream maker all day and it says if you hear a crunching sound it isn't ready.. it has been in over 24 hours and I still hear that crunching sound.. *Stomps feet*
Off out tomorrow evening... there is us.. don't go out for years and this is three times this month! *Is this what they call a social life* Crap will have to find something cool to wear! *Don't think I have three outfits*
Going to make some ice-cream.. wish me luck!!
*Can it be good to eat all these eggs in ice cream? Starts clucking like a chicken*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
7.20 pm
Syns total so far... 32 this week... out of 105 and still got today and the weekend till weigh in...
Ice-cream is on.. but doens't look that good so far.. but going to leave it and see what happens this time! Hope it sets this time or it is going back! Grrr.. nah I will keep at it till it works ! I might be sick of ice cream by then and there will be no eggs left in the world.. but one has to do what one has to do!
Mmm.. what to do this evening... ironing.. ironing or planning what to wear for tomorrow and iron it!
It's Freezing.. it's freezing... *Not me silly.. the ice-cream*
