Thanks Hazel! You too! 
Em, the portion thing is something I sort of just made up - it's just a way of ensuring that a) i eat enough and b) my diet is balanced without having to weigh food/count points/calories (ensuring I stick to realistic portion sizes which I'm usually pretty good at), so it's customisable (made up word!) tbh, for weight loss I'd probably just remove one of the portions of dairy, one of the portions of carbs and one of the healthy snacks but my current guidelines seem like a good amount for maintenance and I don't feel like I'm denying myself anything

Yuk - a seven lesson day????? I had 5 lessons and that was enough for me today. Mind you three of them were Maths, so I was pretty 'math'd out' by 3.30! It may be controversial, but Yegads, why don't they 'do' the times table learning by repetition any more? I know it's boring and repetitive, but practically everyone I know who learnt them at school can instantly respond with the correct answer to any multiplication sum up to the 12s. Now we seem to have a generation where many of them don't even know their 10 times table. Rant over, and sorry for high-jacking your diary Libby!

Why had I not discovered cookies and cream kitkats sooner?! Mmm! Delicious!
Agreed! I had to walk home in the dark and it was raining Not so much an early night - was busy writing Christmas cards! Fresh sheets after a warm shower so, here's to a perfect night's sleep! Sorry to hear about such an early start though
I know what you mean! I just couldn't fall asleep then kept waking up throughout the night hope you sleep better too!

Hey Beck! Thank you! At the moment I'm at 6th form and studying Psychology, Philosophy, English lang, Maths with statistics and global perspectives which is a bit like a critical thinking course.. lots of work!

Haha, don't worry MW
I learnt my times tables through board games if I'm honest, I had a multiplication dominoes which I insisted on playing all the time! Usually it wouldn't be 7 lessons, but I had an extra philosophy lesson after school! Maths - Global (which ran into the whole of break, grr!) - Psych - Maths - Lunch - English - Philosophy x 2, *cry* - Monday's schedule.. do not like!
Wish I'd come up with this portion idea sooner - it's so stress-free and I know that if i havent used up all my portions then I probably haven't eaten enough without having to count cals/weigh anything
Night night ladies! xx

That really does seem a heavy day - especially on a Monday!
Sorry if it seemed like I was having a 'go' at school/college pupils. I somehow assumed that you *would* know your tables! I just find it frustrating that they aren't used any more as a tool to give a basic maths grounding. It just seems to me that all the other stuff in Maths (technical term there!) is easier to tackle when you can instantly recall them! Oh well... apparently they stopped using them in the old fashioned way because it was demeaning to pupils to have to repeat them in a group... one 2 is 2, two 2s are 4, three 2s are 6 etc!

Haha, I didn't read it in that way, don't worry
I do know my tables (ish!) though for some reason I keep writing 3 cubed as being 9.. oopsie! My sister learnt her tables at school through having to sing an awful 'times table' song at the start and end of every Maths lesson, lol My Mum has to go in hospital tomorrow to have some injections in her back as her op was unsuccessful
Quite nervous for her though.- Status
