One good thing about the sandpit- no Christmas stuff until nearer the time. Although it is getting more prevalent and further away from Christmas! Usually Diwali is big THEN the Christmas stuff hits.
Having said that though, the local supermarket is still selling the Christmas shortbread tins- at full price, along with other Christmas and Easter goodies.
Well done on getting the shirts done [tag]StowgateResident[/tag[]- How was Shetland on your cruise?

Ooooooohhhhh meringue and strawberries.... That gives me an idea

Happy Monday everyone !

Had lunch with my mother at the hospital yesterday (my dad didn't eat like us, long story) and it was surprisingly good for some hospital food. As it is quite far away I can't go more than twice a week but we stayed 5 hours with her, which is quite a lot for one day but it went well

So yesterday was a normal day except......
When I came back home I had the surprise to find one of my wardrobe door on my bed It's an heavy and old wardrobe so I have no idea how they did it but that's my cats' work It was pretty difficult to put it back, it took me an hour and my arms ache thus morning. My cats are super cats

Well done on the ironing @StowgateResident Now you're ready to go again when a bargain pops up. Lol

Supercats deffo @Manderley also very clever especially handling the screw driver. Lol

Does anyone here has a Chromebook ? I have the possibility to get one but I am not sure on if it's good or anything and as it's a big deal for me to buy a big thing like a computer, I don't want to make mistakes

Thanks !

Happy Tuesday everyone !

Before the end of the week, I'll have a new laptop....at last.... This one is at the very very end of its road, it shut down 3 times this morning with only a vlc (video) and chrome running So I will have to make several payements but it's a new one, 15' screen, 1000 Go hard drive and everything I need. I really am happy about it, is that shallow ?

Oh and fresh blueberries are natural candies

Pleased you have got your computer sorted-nothing wrong with being happy about that!

@Merlin buying cards in Jan sounds sensible not stingy..but seeing racks of them displayed for sale on 2nd August seems wrong
Also,the minute the children break up from school,there are Back to School adverts for school uniforms everywhere!

Hi everyone. I'm sick for the first time in two years! Second day at home with a burning sore throat, painful sinuses and ears. Feeling crap and have been checking in on the forum to keep me company but it all seems a bit quiet. I reckon I picked this cold up at the gym I joined last week - too many germs around!

@manderley. Good to hear you are upgrading your computer. @candicemarie are you willing for Crimbo to come already?

So what's my news? I got a trainer who is also a nutritionist so I can sort out my eating on non-fast days. I seem to be eating loads, but calorie wise it is just on my TDEE and around 70g of carbs a day, so not too low. Feeling satisfied and not craving. However I'm back to preparing absolutely everything which is how I lost the weight before.

The best thing about it is the breakfast pancake which is 1/4 cup of oatmeal, one whole egg and two egg whites, cooked using oil spray. Just 183 calories and you can make it sweet or savory depending upon what you prefer. It's also great cold, so I'm thinking of deploying it for fast days when I'm on the move.

Hello @rawkaren sorry to hear you're ill. It was buzzing here yesterday. That Monday first fast environment. Brilliant.
Yes those pesky germs get everywhere. My daughter has got a swollen throat, which always sounds horrendous but comes to nothing usually.

So you've put your future exercise and eating into someone else's hands good on ya. Let's see those happy posts return with time.
Hope hubs is ok.

Aw, big hugs to @rawkaren! you poor love, hope you shake off those pesky bugs asap and het your mojo back. Glad to hear about your trainer/nutritionist, hopefully just what you need to get you back on track.

Good luck with your trainer.

@Manderley So glad you're getting your new laptop, enjoy having a play and be happy.

How are you feeling today @Rawkaren? Hope you're feeling much better. Sore throats are horrid aren't they.

Honestly, its 8.20 and nobody has bought anything yet! Mind you, there are 3 parcels on the table all primed and ready to go My little shop is doing quite well at the moment. Its bean fun!

So whats everyone up to today?

Hi @nursebean!
I've done a wash load, now hanging to dry, made a crockpot chicken and veg stew, and just eaten my breakfast boiled egg. Knackered now :0)
We have two lively grandsons this afternoon so drinking coffee fully caffeinated for added bounce.
Have a happy day everyone (wasn't the rain wonderfully refreshing :0D).
