Hi Dawn,
Sorry to hear something horrible has happened yet again to your family. Hope your brother is ok and is able to work through the difficult times.
Take care. Have a nice weekend x

Hope your brother is o.k., poor you, it's one thing after another

:grouphugg:

Just wanted to say thanks for these lovely messages guys xx
Brother is doing ok, I think work is organising counselling for when he comes back from hols if he needs it. I feel rotten for only giving half a story when you're all so supportive, but as the police are involved I just can't say any more x

Well actually we don't have an exact date for picking little pup up, but it's 3 weeks to go until she's 8 weeks old so I'm hoping that if all is well we will be able to collect her then!!!

Ooh my heart starts pounding when I think about her lol!!!

Hi Guys,

Had a really great time last night at the buffet! :17729: I got picked up by Abbie and Shell and we got there around 7.45pm. The place was absolutely packed out but we had a big table near a wall so it was ok.

The food was superb as always. I really couldn't tell you all that I had...I just kept piling stuff on my plate that I thought I'd like! I did have crispy duck pancakes, chicken curry, sweet and sour something, crispy beef in something, pork chops in honey, egg fried rice, pineapple fried rice, salt and pepper chicken, chicken skewer, sesame toast, beef satay...to name a few

Then, I had peach gateau and cream, chocolate profiteroles, a pineapple fritter, banana mousse...and to top it all I just HAD to dive into the chocolate fountain with a marshmallow kebeb!!! :8855:

But I DID only have one glass of wine!!! :innocent0002:

So...flexi day do you think???

 

[bexyboo]

OMG!!!! The food sounds Delicious! :drool: Glad you had a lovely time with all that syn free food!

Aww Shenzi, what a shame :cry:
I must admit we did have a good talk about whether to have another dog when we lost our Sophie, and Gwyn really wanted to wait a while before getting one, which was fine. But he knew how much it meant to me, and I'm so glad we're getting this lovely little pup We've had almost 6 months without any pets, and whilst life is definitely easier, quieter, and less messy...it's just not the same :sigh: Mind you, ask me again in a few weeks time when she's wee'd all over the carpets and chewed my slippers and I might be saying something completely different!!!

You have just reminded me why Pete keeps saying no to me ive suddenly been transported back 2.5 years with the projectile diahorria up the walls, do not want that again! And the newspaper ripping apart and my door frame chewing

But then on the other hand i remember her hiding behind the toilet crying in the middle of the night because she couldnt find her mummy awwww

Hi everyone

How's your Saturday been? xx

I've had quite a lazy day really. Didn't get up till late after taking a cup of tea back to bed for gorgeous hubby and me.

We did a bit of pottering in the garden, and went shopping to get some bird seed.

This afternoon I switched between watching Columbo on tv and nosing through minis...perfect!

And then I cooked tea which turned out very nice, even if I do say so myself!

Todays Food Green Day

2 x wm toast (B)
250mls ss milk (A - used for drinks etc)

minimums lentil & bacon soup (2 cos synning the bacon on green)
yoghurt

cauliflower and broccoli cheesy bake (A)

tom sauce (2)
wine (8)
roulade

hi fi bar (B)

Total syns:- 12

Enjoy the rest of your Saturday ladies and Maximus :wavey:

That cheesey bake looks delish Dawn!

Trouble is with my cooking anything like that it's very difficult to get a correct calorie count ... am soo fussy about being precise as the odd few here and there can soon mount up. Not that it's a precise thing in the first place......

Often wonder about people's idea of getting up late. My sister gets up at 8am and calls that late!! ...

Hope things are going well in your world!..

. . .
So...flexi day do you think???

Er - absolutely!!!! It's even better that my misdemeanours on Thursday night, and that was bad enough.

I see there was one man surrounded by all you lovely ladies. Lucky man to have so many beautiful chicas around him. What was the night out for? Something special?

Seriously though, regarding wine and quantity required to get tiddly.
Age certainly has something to do with it, but I also find that since I've been doing SW it's been a lot worse. 2 reasons I think:
1. Because I'm eating less carbs and fats there's nothing to help soak it up !!!
2. As I don't drink as much any more (too many syns) my body just can't take it!

3 small glasses is about my limit now. I'm on my 3rd now and surprised that my brain is still functioning - although I do have to keep correcting my spelling !!!

Good point Emmaline! Well we got up around 9.30, and when I'm working I get up around 6.45 so that's a lie in for me!

I suppose calorie counting is a bit more precise than the syns I have to count. That's probably why you get on so well with it as you're very much a 'figures' person aren't you...whereas I'm a complete numpty when it comes to numbers
