Hi Hun,
How are you today?
Yeah I had a really good day food wise was really happy and as much as I always say I'm not going to...I had a sneaky peak on the scales this morning and I am happy with that. My hands look and feel better this morning too (someone recommended I had a bath with Bicarbonate of Soda in it, so I gave it a go, have to bathe in it every other day), the old skin is shedding nicely and the skin underneath looks lovely and clear (not been like that for a long time), may be a mixture of the Bicarb and the lower dose tablets...watch this space lol
The syn free gravy...I so hate wasting syns n sauces, especially gravy which is quite high in my opinion and the way I make it is for 4 people...
Get a medium size bowl and half fill it with boiling water, add 3 oxo cubes and whisk till they are completely dissolved, then add Mr Mash from Asda (or Smash, but someone said Smash was no longer syn free...don't know cos I haven't checked yet) until you reach the consistency you like, I also like herbs in my gravy so I add them according to what I am eating...it's really lovely .
Have a great day hun , I am off to soak in my bicarb bath. xx

Fantastic news about your skin improving Lily, I really hope that the new lower dosage and your Bi-carb baths fix it all for you. There is someone at my work who suffers with really bad dematitis which I know is not the same thing but he comes into work some days with his hands covered in blisters and his skin splitting and cracking up so I can understand a little how difficult it must be for you x

I love your tip for thickening gravy I will definately give that a go as I love my gravy to be really thick!!

 

[Newday]

You had time to write a menu? What -did the Sky man escape?

I'm having a green day tomorrow. I have to have that soup. :drool:

Thanks for your kind words Becky...maybe you could mention to your work colleague about the bicarb baths, or soaks....my daughter and granddaughter both have Eczema and they are trying them too...fingers crossed...my hands and feet itch like mad after but once I have applied my emulsifier it settles nicely...hands are definitely improving ...not so sure about the feet yet, as I am on them a lot they tend to take longer to see the benefits of any treatment
Love the gravy too...found the recipe on here actually, had heard there was syn free gravy and as I am mean with my syns..really don't like wasting them on sauces and gravy when I can waste them on a bag of snack a jacks or something just as tasty lol xx

I'm having a green day tomorrow. I have to have that soup. :drool:

Lmao I wrote the menu and that's only the 1st half ...knew we were having chicken, didn't know how it was going to be cooked but have now decided...yummy

I did all I could to keep Mr Gorgeous here, I :banana dancer: at him (although that alone may have been enough to make him run for the hills), I :silly:, I offered food :sign0137: and :coffee:even a :beer8: and I clung to his leg too, (you think maybe that was taking it a little too far?) waiting for you guys, but he gave that look...you know the one and made a for the door in :fear: and is now gone and I am :cry:...now I have to break the top box again to get him to come back and force hubby to go :character0053: hmm.
I fear the wet patch caused by me :drool: may also have been too much...ah well I will just have to live with my memories :4635:...for now :sign0151: xx

Hun I have had Sky engineers out 5 times over the last 3 weeks, when we had the big storms my box blew up, so they replaced it again and again and again etc...because they only recondition them now and they kept buzzing and hissing so loud you coudn't actually hear the telly...so we decided to upgrade instead and get a HD box, got a good deal otherwise they could have kept that too...I am mean with my pennies as well lol, so I was expecting the dork ...ooops sorry I mean the very nice gent that turned up last 5 times...but today it was Mr Gorgeous a real Adonis :sigh2:...I was shocked and a little put out that I wasn't at my gorgeous best lmfao
Maybe we could swap for a bit, you have my Sky man and I'll have your plumber xx

Thank you hun, I am really very pleased, didn't have my head in it this week, but still kind of kept a mental tally on what I was doing so 2lbs I will definitely take that lol and now NOTHING is going to stop me getting that next shiny next week xx

 

[Lily42uk]

well done lily!!

Thank you, how are you doing sweetie? good I hope xx

 

[Newday]

Already congratulated you on your loss elsewhere but had to come here and do it too. WELL DONE LILY!

So what colour is the next shiny you're gunning for? Don't know beyond the lovely green 4 stone one that I've set my sights on.

Thank you hun, I was very happy last night but also gutted that it didn't stretch just that extra half pound, that'll teach me to get reckless won't it lol
I am looking to pick up the red/orange it's a combination of both and want my 5st shiny in just a few weeks too (not sure of the colour of that one, will have to go have a look).
My consultant is fairly new as a consultant, just coming up to his 3rd year and has never had anyone lose more than 5st in his group...so I am aiming to hit a minimum of 6st by my 1st year anniversary so got a couple of months or so to get off another 22lb at least, so really got to knuckle down now.
He was talking about the Woman of the year competition they run every year and I was initially thinking oh no I can't do that, but then thought this morning why the heck not? So I have decided to enter myself in the race...you never know lol xx
