Hope you are ok hunny, sending you big hugs today xxx

Morning everyone, hope everyone is okay today...... Lelly, everything always seems to happen at once doesn't it, but at least I can do my washing now.....lol.
So scales this morning show a great big STS but if I only lose the 2lb this week then that is good, but I have until Tuesday morning until my WI....... managed to get the Beck book from my local library for daughter as she goes to WW with me (actually she is the only reason I do go to WW).... tomorrow back to CDC for my shakes as I am running out, will be getting 15 choc and 15 choc mint, that was all I had when I lost weight before.
DH has an interview for a job Wednesday afternoon, but it is still a long way away and only the same money and at some time soon he will need a new car as his has now done 208000 miles..... ho hum, we shall see!!

Hi Linda,
Fingers crossed for DH and, if he gets the job, there may be someone near you and they can ride share (or maybe there could be a company car or subsidy... some people do get those things, I've read).
I'm washing, too. I forgot to removed DD's PE kits from her backpack and so they did not get done with Saturday's wash. They are drying now.
I, too, like the choc mint... but have you tried the Choc Orange? They may be new to you. I love those, too (especially as a MAM).
Well, when you make goal with WW, you can go for free as long as you stay within a certain range, and that could be your management "check". I have thought of doing this... becoming a WW "gold member" I think it is called.

Hi Linda, I've got my fingers crossed for Mr Depp with the interview. It would be fab if he could go straight into another job.
Hope your DD is feeling a bit better and that you are being looked after too xxx

Hi all, got on the scales this morning and they have gone up..... there could be several reasons for this, one I haven't been to toilet in 3 days, I only ever seem to go when I take tablets and 2 this is the week in the month where I retain fluid, so could be the beginning of that, they haven't even risen 1/2 lb so nothing major anyway.
Went to CDC and bought some more supplies so have enough for 2 weeks, but thinking now that this diet is costing me a fortune, that is £30 a week for supplies, then 4 bags of quorn, 2 bags of prawns, 7 % fat free yoghurts and then the veg, salad (although it is not tons of veg and salad you have to buy a bag of it....) and my breakfast porridge at £2 a box, quorn is £2 a bag at least, prawns I have got on special at £3.49 recently but they have gone up to £5, as I like the king prawns and not the tiddly ones....
So may have one more week on 810, then move up plan to 1000 and then move back onto WW or slimming world, will see how DHs job hunting goes and decide in 2 weeks time.
Daughter checked in this morning, they are reviewing her case again today but she did sound a bit chirpier this morning, its the first day on her own with her boys in a week and she is going to take them to toddler group. My sister runs it so she knows her but she gets very panicky when she goes places, she went out with her DH for dinner yesterday at a chinese eat as much as you like but didn't stay long as the more people that arrived the more edgy she got, so they left..... she never used to be like that, she is always so friendly and chatty.... but she is on medication, having counselling and will get back to that person again....

Afternoon Linda,
It sounds as if your DD has a good support system, and she is being guided back into her life. I am hoping for the best with DH's job interview -- and, although CD is costing you a bit, you would have to eat anyway. And, I am hoping that you would be eating healthy, and that does seem to cost more. Your meal choices mirror what mine would be.
I hope you are enjoying the Sun.

Woohoo, DH has another job interview for Thursday and that is the job we are really hoping for as it is a work from home job with occasional site visits.... We already have a desk set up for him in the corner of our bedroom with internet access etc as he occasionally works from home (when it is snowing etc) already and can manage with the kids around just fine. So fingers, lucky vibes and prayers please for this particular job.

Prayers and lucky vibes heading your way Linda for the job and also for your DD xxxxxxxxx BTW no 'movement' for a few days will account for +2lbs, plus totm water retention, so you are doing really well and this extra will soon be gone
