Day 61 - Things I Have Learned!

[John]

Day 5

I don't want everyone to get too excited, but me and my blender have decided to kiss and make up. We're going to give things another go. It's early days, and I think we've both been hurt by what's happened in the past, so we're taking it steady, and just going to see each other four times a day for the time being and see how it goes. I have promised her I won't make her too hot for the moment, and have sworn on my life I will leave brocolli and cheese firmly in the packet.

We're going to have a romantic session now with some delicious chicken and mushroom. I might throw caution to the wind and throw in some chilli flakes to spice things up between us.

Don't forget it's all in the way you do it!!!

Hope you and Miss Blender make happy soups and shakes together for ages to come!

Good day John, Glad to hear that you and the young Miss have made up. I was just wondering how you were getting on.

Treat her well and you won't have to worry about giving her a cold shower.

Onwards and downwards!

 

[John]

Ooooh, Miss Blender and cold showers!

I'll have to go easy on the chilli flakes now, I'll end up with a heart attack!

Awww, I love a good romance!!!

 

[flirty40greeneyes]

As long as we don't get to know all the gory details!! And no tongues remember!!

Oops, don't want to break with tradition....

Day 5 - Things I have learnt

• Despite my best efforts for reconciliation, she decided to spit the chicken and mushroom soup out
• ASDA has a very poor selection of black pepper. Will try Sainsburys
• Gold Spot makes me feel like a 1970s nightclub throwback
• I am going to trade her in for a younger, slimmer model – a hand blender
• ASDA’s toilets were out of order today for ‘health and safety reasons’
• Hope that wasn’t due to my trip there yesterday
• My son likes ready meals
• I wish they weren’t the same four faces on the shake packs staring at me while the kettle boils
• Don’t like the look of the bloke on the left
• Each pack should be different, so we can play Top Trumps with them on MiniMims
• A few days of ready meals is a small sacrifice to have dad around for twenty years longer

 

[flirty40greeneyes]

Do you know I have NEVER really looked at the packets!! And I have wall to wall boxes of them stacked in my office!!

 

[DQ]

PMSL - poor bloke on the left!!!

John,

I love these posts. Sat in my office and everyone's looking at me like a mad woman. Twas very funny. I can relate.

D

 

[Mamma_caz]

John you are great, keep up the posts. I have tittered my way through yet another one of your lists.

 

[John]

Thank you all - I'm sure it'll get boring after a while, but I'll keep trying!! Will see how many days I can keep it going!

(Beverley, now I've mentioned him, you'll spot him on every pack!)

Day 6 - Things I have learnt

Bit late today, sorry! Despite my moaning, all is going fine and dandy...

• There is only one thing more boring than drinking lots of water, and that’s peeing it out again afterwards
• I have reorganised my wardrobe for the next six weigh-ins by garment weight
• I never thought I’d spend my Friday nights debating whether to have Vegetable or Spicy Tomato
• I tried to make crisps, but have decided to use the outcome to render the front of my house
• I can’t even use a blender, so don’t know why I thought I’d manage a microwave
• I have discovered a website that needs our support, it’s here
• I had my first Tetra pack – not since a carton of Um Bungo as a child have I tried so hard to get the last drops out
• If you cut a Tetra pack with a pair of scissors when you have finished there is another 1.6ml to be had

You really must find a publisher and get this in print .... once it's completed!

 

[John]

Apologies, I've been very bad at keeping this going, I'm slowly realising that being on CD is like Groundhog Day, and not a lot changes!

Any way, first weigh-in tonight, and I've lost 21lbs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can't believe it, it was 9 days rather than 7, but am so chuffed!

It's thanks to this brilliant website and all of you for keeping me going - I'm having a chocolate truffle party in half an hour when they come out of the freezer and everyone's invited

Am off to sort a tracker out now....

 

[bendigoblue]

21lbs!!!!!! Woweeeeee, thats fantastic!

 

[Mamma_caz]

Well John that is fantastic - that is one and half stone a big congrats to your perseverance.

I copied your lists off and took them home for everyone to read, now if I want a laugh I just reread them, they have had everyone in hysterics.

Keep up the good work!!!!!!!
