Mosquito’s

Yep you guessed it... I have been awoken with a tingling in my lip.. so toodled off to the bathroom to discover that my lower lip has been bitten!!! *I was blessed with fuller lips.. but this is ridiculous...*

After getting a wet flannel.. tried to get some sleep but the thought of getting bitten again and trying to fight with the paranioa of being bitten on the tongue or something and not being able to breath! *It can happen you know!!* I must have dozed for about half hour and got woken again with my finger throbbing... I decided to get up in the end as my left forearm was throbbing too... only got to the downstairs bathroom and looked in the mirror! Quasimodo was looking back at me *Sigh.. yes on the bridge of my nose.. my lower lip and the right side of my chin....hangs head in shame and thinks of ways to ease it*

So I set on another quest of how to ease prevent and kill mosquitos! *People would pay thousands for a lip like mine at the moment.. no puckering up.. *

First page I came across said to rub banana skin on the area... now at the time the arm was swelling and burning and stinging... so I did this.. and hey presto.. that has eased it for a while.. also on the finger... tried the lip.. but that has just annoyed it even more!

They say not to break the skin with scratching.. cut your nails

*Any slight tingle now on my body I am getting paranoid and I am now feeling very tired, but too scared to go back to bed incase I get bitten again and again and again.. I guess I could always tell people I am really a size 10 and my whole body has been bitten.. what do you think?*

Another site said to use bicarb mixed to a paste.. have used that on sunburns... but doesn't prevent does it!! But does work on sunburns .. so remember that if you are an avid sun worshiper!

Now another said to eat lots of garlic... one said to spray with lavender, lemon oil...that citronella doesn't work..

They say not to wear dark colours.. *Yeah the fat girl loves wearing bright colours to draw attention to herself.. NOT* Also make sure that you are completely covered.. *Like I would go out in a bikini anyway!* No.. no it does say.. all arms and legs covered.. put thick trousers and top on and tuck the trousers in some socks *Ahh see now that sounds really attractive doesn't it*

Believe me I have tried most things as when we lived in Germany.. I was also eaten alive there... like this.. and haven't been bitten like this here before!!

It also says that they like to bite people who are over weight... *Yeah pick on the fat people why don't they... *

GOS sometimes get bitten and there he was last night sprawled out.. really hot.. nearly naked.. but no.. they go for me!!

The sky has gone really dark outside.. I have just had to get the washing in which has had a short sharp shower on it.. *Not turning out to be my day is it* Just loaded other washing I had waiting to dry into the dryer .. so might crack on with some ironing in a while...

*Whispers.. dare not say what next.. as something else bad always happens... * No I don't always look on the dark side of things.. I do try to think of positivity.. but it seems to be one thing after another... why is that? All I want is a happy life... *Don't we all I guess*

Have been chatting away to an old friend just now on MSN.. wow some of the times and laughs we had together. Ahh those were the days... how you had no worries in the world but when was the next night out.. what to wear, who was going out etc.... The 80's music... ahh memories...

Right back to Mossy remedies.. bbl...

Are Painkillers Fattening??

Yes I am backkkkkkkk!!

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!*

Can This Be True ~ Monday Weigh In!!

Official Weigh In Day...

I need some time to digest it... yes of course I have weighed myself...just give me a minute...

3.1/2 lb loss... so that now takes me to 00.11 lb 8 oz... OMG that is amazing!! I am now official slimmer than I have been in about 9 years!

*Does backflips round the office, then lands in a heap in the corner after hitting the wall.. but is still laughing and full of the joys of spring!*

Could it now be after all these months of going up and down a few pound that I am on my second wind of weight loss.... do you think I can do another great jump and get down even more?

So now OWL is... *Official Weight Loss.. keep up!* = 4 stone 2 lb 8 oz

I am now going to go for my 4 1/2 stone weight loss now.. so that means 4.5 lbs to lose... so bring it on!!!!! *Oh dear.. sound like a right rough football fan.. get it together girl*

See I told you I would find something positive today to be pleased about... My goodness.. I have done it! I lost all that weigh so quickly prior to Christmas and got so close to the 4 stone.. then since then I have been going up and down with half a stone even with being so good and exercising... but surpassed that now... woooohhoooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!

Well it also goes to show you... I didn't exercise last week... I ate carefully as I do each week... I even had chocolate.. so what is going on? We are all different.. maybe my body is now saying.. yes time to lose weight again. After all... we do have to wait for our bodies to catch up with what we want to do...just mine too nearly 7 months!!! *Keep thinking if my darn body kept up with me how much slimmer I would be now.. but not for a want of trying... told you my body was even against me*

I wonder if a positive note every day would be good... also wonder if it would inspire others to carry on...

Today's Positive Thought...Believe in yourself, as you can always do what you aim to in time!

Anyway I have to do the wall today... but I did take a anti allergy tablet yesterday and still feel like I have been drugged and want to sleep... so may go have a nap then crack on... I may even dream of being slim!

*Was thinking about where do I think this weight has come off from this week... decolletage and my upper arms...*

To be honest I don't care at the moment I am sooooooooooooooooooo pleased I have passed my 4 stone barrier....!!!

Really tired now.. off to nap... BBL

*Slides off with the biggest grin you can ever imagine*

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

No nap yet.. people keep talking to me on MSN... *Ahh to be popular*

Had a quick look at my HORRORSCOPE...

July 06, 2009
Combative Mars in steady Taurus crosses swords today with your two key planets, Jupiter and Neptune, increasing the chance for you to get drawn into an unnecessary argument. But instead of listening to logic, you're tempted to let your deeds speak for you as you stubbornly refuse to cooperate with others. You may believe you're making your point while others see you acting like a spoiled child. Remember, passive aggression is not as effective as honesty and direct action.


Why so glum..... going back to bed!!

Oh will have to see what tomorrow's says now.. grrr...

July 07, 2009
It might seem as if you are being coerced to set aside your personal judgment and be a follower today with the Lunar Eclipse in your 11th House of Groups. If you are part of a team at work, you may feel isolated when your plan differs from everyone else's. Follow your instincts now; it's important for you to do what feels right and not succumb to any peer pressure.


*Might not if it is someone trying to force feed me with chocolate!*

Night all.. as it is morning !!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

4.30 pm

I have cleared the area.. scraped the wall down.. sanded it down and just given it a light skim but we are out of product.. grrr!! So will have to wait and see what it is like then give i t alight sanding and go from there! Had to clean my tools prior to use as GOS doesn't always do them how I like them done and then they are left for months on end with crap on them!

Daughter has a job interview tomorrow... so going to keep my fingers crossed that she gets it... She already works for RAC but that is a temping job and I would so like to know that she is settled... with a continuous wage coming in. You know what theses agencies are like. It is about time the good luck started shining down on our family!

The weather is rather unpredicatable today... *Little like my mind!* one minute we have sunshine then next we have rain! Good for the garden though.

GOS still has a bad back.. but he did manage to wash a few things up for me today while I skimmed the wall. But that is the last of the washing up liquid and he didn't seem pleased that I asked to go out and get some shopping! *Sadly we do have to eat every week*

I think I might play the Sims 3 for a while.. not played that in ages.. trouble is it is sooooooooo addictive...

Managed to decide chicken for dinner.. but still not what to do with it.. May do a Rogan Josh... with some rice...

Daughter went to sainsbury's to see if they did the Weight Watchers Crystal Jellies and she said nope they don't! *Typical...*

Sim's 3 here I come.. *Wonder if it is more normal in that world than it is in mine!*

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Gooooooooooooooooood Morning!!

Now... I am going to start the day with WI results... so you don't get bored of me say.. this morning.... blah de blah... So here goes!

Tuesday WI: 00.00lbs. 4 oz Wooo hooooo...

Yes, I know I shouldn't get excited but another 4 oz and then I will have reached my four stone! Well I already have but I wanted to go from a certain weight point on this eating regime, yes sounds confusing ... but that I am!

*Note to self: Maybe thinking thin really does work.. must do more testing!*

Hay fever is back... but little man on the plasma telly told us last night.. said the count would be high. I am thinking (Which I know is dangerous) but should I take a hay fever tab and spend most of the day feeling tired or just go with the runny nose itching eyes..wheezy chest etc... Doh going to have to take a tablet... I know I will be sleepy for two days again! Oh well can't put up with this...... here goes!!!!

Right, that done...can we go back to celebrating my loss so far? Doh... only me (and you if you are listening to me) that know. GOS doesn't really notice.. just says I am leaving him! I am just gaining myself back. Maybe he should watch out!

Asked again how my POINTS were going last night... I got a smirk... let's leave it at that... I said well he should be worried when I stop asking and he replied "Ah you won't" Well I might!!! (says shaking her head!!)

Gees been 3 mins since I took this tablet.. how long does it take to work!

Now what have I to do today...

Checked email.... nothing!

Still waiting for Bristol SW Manager to get back to me... should I be pushy and ask for her email or just wait? Maybe wait a bit longer... oh I hate waiting...

Oh yeah.. must do plants... when tabs kick in.

Ahh also exercise... go for the burn..

Have breakfast... not sure what to have yet?

Clean my desk!

Go twitter.. ahh now I like that.....

BBL...

*Note to self: Wonder if local honey really does help with hay fever?*

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Ohhhhhhh so tired.. did 30 mins March DVD and 30 mins Cross Training. What is the matter with me? Why am I doing this to myself. I must be some nutter to keep torturing myself...I dream of being slim and laying on a lounger eating cream cakes...

Nah.. don't like them very much so .. what else...Pizza.. nah... mint chocolate chip ice-cream.. now I am talking... Leave me alone a moment while I dream... go on shoo!!

*Spends 1 minute dreaming of eating ice-cream.. the chocolate melting as it runs down the cone...Mmmmm*

Right enough of that! back to reality!

Darn the death of my beloved yesterday.. so inconsiderate... I have been stood at that blasted sink for ages! Guess I should now wash as I go...either that or get a slave... now that could send me off on one of my tangents.. but no.. I will remain firm.

Breakfast:

2 pears... (I was in the garden working!!)

Lunch:

Half of my quiche I made yesterday.. was going to save some for GOS.. but well I was hungry and I know he won't like it.. so I enjoyed it all!! so really that is a half HA


*Note to self.. must season quiche more next time and thinner base*

Right now that the torture is over with and I have eaten, I had best crack on with the darn dishes in the the dead dishwasher and dry the one others up.. then shower and make GOS a quick sandwich and take it to him.. he is fitting a sink and bet he is starving bless him.

We do have this unspoken love for one another.. well there are times we say.. Love you.. I would say it more if it got me points!!

Anyway.. can't sit here all day.. things to do.

BBL

*Note to self... remind yourself why you are exercising is for the good of your health and self image, plus makes you more pleasing on others poor eyes!*

Kitchen all done!! Phew at last.. yes I still want a little slave.. maybe one that will follow me around and attend to my every task I set... now wouldn't that be fun.. of course after the washing.. ironing... cooking etc is done!

Sat here now with a lovely cup of coffee and really enjoying it! Curry is on.. have done a chicken curry along with a potato and tom with onion curry as a side dish.

I am still at a quandary as to how people find other people on these blogs .. I am sure I will figure it out!

*Mental note to self....Still wondering.. just out of interest to weigh all my food and total it up and see if we do actually eat the same weight amount of food a day*

It is still lovely outside and did think of going for a dip.. but by the time I did that lazy broken down dishwashers job.. I don't feel so much like it..... OOOo Michael Boublay is on the radio...such a fantastic voice! (Is that how you spell his name.. I dunno)

Anyway.. have to go and finish the dinner before GOS has a hissy fit and moans he is hungry!

*Wanders off to the kitchen thinking.. geesh I feel tired.. and did I do all on my list today?*



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Just awoken from my slumber... oh have to feed the boys.. will be right back!


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Woke in a right crabby mood...I am the first to admit it! Had to do washing up... again grrr... darn plates and pans... GOS said he was going to do them.. yeah like hell will freeze over first! My poor hands..

*Note to self: Must find gloves!*

Daughter has booked her ferry over to us for her birthday... and got the timings all wrong!! Don't go there... I am going to stay out of it.. before I get my head bitten off!

Well.. boys are fed and watered...I am all agitated and want chocolate!!

So might console myself with a hot chocolate drink and go watch some telly... Oooo Ghost Whisper...he died.. the hubby.. have to see what happens next!

Things to do tomorrow:

Dig up old radishes..

Weed garden.

Water in new plants with food.

Ironing... oh in this day and age all material should be iron free!

Wash up!!! Cuss GOS for not looking at dead dishwasher

Work out.


Dinner:

Chicken Curry with white rice and potato/tom/onion/curry

I have made some WW jellies so might have some of those.. 4 in all ... wonder if they have set.. will have with some 0% fromage frais... oh such joys I have!

Going to check...

Oh total syns for today...

Will fill in tomorrow.. drat no chocolate in!!


The Box Tip:

People who eat healthy, mostly unprocessed foods, including fruit, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, and limited amounts of lean animal protein, often find that they can eat as much as they want without gaining weight. If they are switching from a diet containing lots of processed foods, they find that they can eat more yet consume fewer calories -- and they lose weight.

Father's Day ~ Broconte Day

No ... no .. no.. still not there.. I told you the scales were against me didn't I! Weigh in like the prize cow at a stunning 00.2lb!!

You should have seen my face as I read the scales (Only my face as the rest would have scarred you for life!) Shear disappointment... I try and try... people keep saying have a binge out that will work! Mmmm had a binge out for several years and that is what got me into this in the first place..doh even I know that!!

Don't have to time to fuss over it this morning.. I can't decide.. skirt or trousers.. both black .. but which I ask you? Choices.. choices.. the black skirt waist is a little big so keeps slipping backwards.. but comfy.. and the trousers, the waist is ok but big on the hips and bum (Runs around office screaming.."Wanted to say that for ages" No not that my bum and hips are big tut we know that.. but that the trousers are!!)

It has been raining in the night but I am sure it is going to reach great heights today in temperature and me with my hot flushes will be hot... Ahh but I am hot anyway as in stuff... silly!!

Wooo... tried to work on the point system last night... Nah.. nothing..

Anyway, I can't sit here all morning I have to get organised.. so what is it going to be.. Oh and the shoes.. I have some high wedges which I love... but I once kissed the pavement when wearing them in Bexleyheath.. so they do make me nervous or my black crocs which make me feel like gran! (No, I am not one of them yet!! I am far to stunning to be a gran. I know that gravity is getting to me .. and you if you check!! pfft)

Drat see I told you I can't sit here all morning.. have a face to put on as well... Mmm shall I go show girl with glitter... mature lady with style or smouldering with smokey eyes and leave something to the imagination... ahh ok.. mature with style it is!

BBL..

*Moves away thinking darn hayfever.. how can I stay looking stunning if my nose keeps running and I am sneezing all the time!*

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Flipping hayfever.. these tablets make me want to sleep and I am sat here actually fighing off falling asleep!

Broconte went well.. not a millionaire yet.. but it was better than I thought it would be. Mind you I did manage to get a large wooden plant stand, which I will shabby up and put in my bedroom... some lovely garden oranments to put in my sister's memorial garden and two lovely earthen ware dishes... looking forward to putting pasta or salad in them! Oh poop have some jacket spuds in the oven and some brown rice on the stove for the quiche base tomorrow. Must go and check...BBL.

*Thinks will I make it to the kitchen before falling asleep!*

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Made it to bed to have a nap and woke up coughing... then went downstairs for about half hour and then was fighting to keep my eyes open again so have toodled off to bed again! So not going to get much out of me tonight... feeling tired.

Think I might sleep thinking of Sex in the City...and how they don't have a point system...!!
