I'll Be Back

Evening all

Things are ridiculously dirty, disorganised and totally chaotic here.  We have lost internet due to broken cable, we have been without water and electric.

So, I will be back in a few days when things have calmed down and I can find the charger for my laptop!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Again with the Fecking TV

Evening all or should that be night???

I am really getting fed up of having the tv in the bedroom.  When I bought my first house many many years ago I had a tv in the bedroom.  Part of this reason was because I wanted lodgers so I wanted to escape to my room and watch what I wanted if they were watching something else.  That was fine, rarely used.  But now hubby keeps putting the tv on, but its ok for him as he gets a 2 hour nap in the evening plus he gets up later than me so he is fine.  I, however, cant nap as I wont sleep at night and will feel even worse!  Might have to take the fuse out of the plug..... lol

B - crispbread with lots of butter on
L - piri piri chicken with salad and cheese
T - weight watchers sausages and salad (did not like these too much so wont be buying again)

Drinks - lots of cups of tea

Joints - ok

Asthma - ok but can feel my chest getting tight from all the dust from today

House is still chaotic.  Problems are causing delays (electrics) and my moans about tiles not being straight are probably not helping but if I am not happy then I am going to say something.  Tomorrows moans are the tile I told them about today is still not straight and the brand new bath tap is dripping!  Bet they will be glad when this job is over!!! lol

Not Quite An Early Night...

Evening all

I didn't get my early night last night as we watched a film.  And then hubby decided to watch tv in bed.  I do not like the tv in the bedroom as when I want to sleep, he wants the tv on!  Ah well, maybe today I will get an early night.  I can but hope.

B - crisp bread with cottage cheese on
L - cottage cheese and salad, not much as I didn't get home until late
T - pork with salad

Drinks - not much again as I was out all day but have had a few cups of tea

Asthma - ok but am now worried about tonight as plastering was done today

Joints - ok

I got lucky today.  Picked up 6 packs of cheese for £1.15 each whoopsied and they went through the till BOGOF.  Was well chuffed, I went back and got more, got some for my mate who I then found in the shop to give to and told the ladies by the whoopsies that the cheese was BOGOF so they cleared the shelf!!!!  :D  Will be making cheese straws for the kids for the weekend :D

Have a good evening

Why Am I So Tired??????????

Evening all

I had an early night last night, in bed by 10.30pm and asleep soon after.  I did wake up a few times in the night but I don't think I was awake for long and then woke up at 6.50am.  But I am really tired now and I don't know why.  Another early night, must try to stay awake until then otherwise I don't sleep tonight.

L - leftover pork and cottage cheese with salad
T - piri piri chicken with salad

Evening all

No exercise today as I forgot to set my alarm last night.  Although I am quite relieved as I feel like I needed that extra 30 minutes.  I have been rushing around shopping though! lol

B - crisp bread with butter on
L - leftover pork and salad
T - Chinese pork chops with salad

Drinks - a few cups of tea and pint water

Asthma - ok today, probably because I have been out all day

Joints - ok

Got tiles in the bathroom now, not all of them but tomorrow they should be finished tiling.  :D  House still a state though :(

Got 2 melons today for 20p each.  They are small so I think 1/2 of one will be breakfast tomorrow.  Make a nice change from crisp bread.

Wonder if I will get up tomorrow. :D

Aaaaaarrrrrrrrrgggggggggghhhhhhhhhh Bloody Men!

Evening all

I think the title says it all.  Hubby is really annoying me today.  Started by him not actually doing anything when he got up and then he gave me a letter from the bank for his account saying he is being charged for going overdrawn and then he moaned cos he will have to phone bank.  Seriously! He didn't check his account when he bought a load of stuff on ebay so he does need to phone them and try not to have to pay it!  Am fuming!  With all the work on the house at the moment and that costing more than we have and he goes overdrawn by a pound that we are charged £25 for :o

B - crisp bread with butter and jam on
L - ham and cheese salad
T - not had any yet, not hungry so might just have some more crisp bread later

Drinks - a few buckets of tea and now cidre

Asthma - bad, but I knew it would be

Joints - ok

Been stripping wallpaper all afternoon, this morning we picked out some flooring for the bathroom and the bottom of stairs.  Got some lovely black and silver for bathroom and stripy for bottom of stairs.  Cant wait for it all to be finished. :D

Mess Everywhere

Evening all

My whole house is in chaos and mess.  I really don't like this.  I did ask when the bath was going to be fitted and thankfully he did that today as he took it out Wednesday and I am pretty sure I smell now! :o

B - crisp bread with butter and jam on
L - crisp bread with cheese on (had to be out by 12 so rushed food)
T - omelette pizza

Drinks - water wasn't turned off today so lots of cups of tea and soon a glass of wine

Joints - ok

Asthma - on and off, very dusty everywhere :(

I had a light bulb moment this morning.  I am determined to lose the weight but I am enjoying my food and if I go back down to induction levels I cant have crisp bread which is easy for breakfast.  So I need to exercise.  The plan is to get up and go for run, jog, ok walk first thing.  That is the plan, I really hope I can start, as that's the hard part, once I start I am ok.

Where's hubby with my wine?????????????????????????   ;-)

Evening all

Breakfast Sausage mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Evening all

So, we had another bbq last night.  And had breakfast sausage on it, my god, that was the best sausage I have ever eaten.  Hubby recons it was meaty (therefore lowish carb) and was even impressed by it.  So will be getting more next week for breakfast next weekend.  Yesterday I ate lots of bbq food and salad, and that was pretty much it.

Today:

B - crispbread with lots of butter and tiny bit of jam
L - nothing, had breakfast very late
T - lamb with cauli and cabbage and a bit of stuffing (just cos I like stuffing :D).  Got enough lamb next for 2 more evening meals for me.  Will make a terrine with spices I got from Tunisia last year which no one else likes :D

Drinks - lots of tea and now a cidre

Joints - ok

Asthma - ok

Popped to lidl today to get the half price turkey and stocked up on veg and salad whilst there.  Think I should have enough to put in a terrine as I don't think it really matters what veg I put in.

No More Front Row Seats :(

Evening all

I am no longer a school governor.  I came 3rd.  So now I have to pay to see the kids xmas show and, even worse, I have to get there early to get front row seats!!!!!!!!!!!! :o  But the head did say he will ask the chair of governors if I can be an associate governor so still go to the meetings and air my opinions but have no say in anything.  We will see, I do want to stay involved as there are changes being made and I want to know what they are before they happen not after. But we will see.

B - ryvita with butter on top
L - thin sliced beef with salad
T - omelette pizza (we had film night tonight as hopefully tomorrow will be bbq :D)

Drinks - lots of cups of tea and water

Joints - ok

Asthma - ok

I am aching a bit so had a lazy day today.  Naughty and I really need to get moving and shift these xmas pounds before they become permanent and I put on more next xmas!!!!!

Thats my yearly exercise done ;-)

Evening all

I am aching today.  Decided to cut the grass as we may want a bbq at weekend so today was the perfect day to cut grass and tomorrow I can do some strimming and steam clean the bbq.  That was the plan, woke up to wet grass but never mind I thought, I can still cut it.  Then I managed to bend the lawnmower blade :o so off to b&q to get another one.  Finally I finished.  Then a quick bath and hair wash and up the school to see DD in her class assembly.  Phew, what a morning, I am now aching a bit and I know by tomorrow that will be a lot. 

B - bacon, eggs and fried toms
L - yogurt
T - turkey steak stuffed with garlic and herb philly wrapped in bacon (bacon overload today)

Drinks - tea, water and I am having a cidre as my reward for my hard work today

Joints - ok

Asthma - ok surprisingly, even though I have been taken my pills and nose spray, I did still think cutting the grass would aggravate it.  Must be working, time to make an appointment and get them on repeat I think.

Exciting day for me tomorrow (not really), I have to go into school and watch them count out the votes for parent governors.  I am not too worried if I am no longer a governor, I will just go into school to complain if I disagree with anything. lol

Have a good evening.

Had a brilliant shopping trip at Asda earlier.  I got a pack of 16 slices of bacon for £1 and a pack of thin sliced beef reduced from £6 to £2 and the best bit is hubby doesn't like it so its all mine, my lunches for the next few days sorted! :D

Best go pick the kids up from street dancing then.

Popped to Lidl earlier for their half price weekend mince.  Was queuing outside, but at that price, had to really.  Should have given dd some money and got her to get 6 packs as well!!!! lol  But whilst we were there we got loads of salad, tomatoes, cucumber so should be alright for a few days.

What, no hangover :o

Evening all

I am very surprised that I didn't have a hangover this morning.  I got up late and the kids were still asleep, I think they must have been worn out yesterday.  My parents did take them seal spotting during the day so a lot of walking.  And they did find seals but couldn't get close enough to scare them.

B - yogurt
L - ham salad
T - fish and chips - got stomach pains now so again, why do I not learn!

drinks - buckets and buckets of tea

Joints - ok

Asthma - got bad earlier before eating the chips, don't know what caused it.

Saturday night and no wine :(  Probably best after how much I drank last night though, early night for me tonight.
