The FastDay Forum

No joy on the heating engineer getting it right over the last few days but will call them again, at least I do have heat and hot water allbeit I have to faff around pressing buttons

It's a bitterly cold day and I'm glad to get into work to get a warm

Have a good day all xxx

My fasting day! Very wet start with heaps of snow due. Also hoping for new delivery of wood today, trying to make remains last as is our only source of heat. Really need to buy more plaster board so will have to take tarpaulin as trailer is open. Joy, more sheets of board to shift! Had hoped to continue sorting veggie patch but rain has put paid to that. My babies (3 chicks) are growing well and looking healthy. I get lots of cuddles. Have to block stairs now as Bruno dog has found them and keeps going to look. I don't think he would hurt them but cannot take the chance. Will do more baking as egg mountain keeps growing! Still some room in the freezer. Weird to bake on a fast day I know but no problem for me. I am no longer food obsessed and know I can have some tomorrow if I want.

Wow! you're strong Bobshouse! I don't even really like cooking dinner on fast days, because I get a bit grumpy until I actually eat

I got some amazing shoes in the mail today. They are a super expensive splurge - Fluevogs and they cost $300. I've never done that before but my husband got a promotion and told me to go ahead. The only problem is they don't fit - it's the biggest size they had and they're too small. Oh well - I guess it wasn't meant to be.

I was meant to be fasting today, started work at 7am and by 10 I was still so cold I decided I needed food to warm me up and will fast instead tomorrow. Loving the flexibility of this, even though friends were referring to it today as the starvation diet!!

Starvation? Funny I could swear that my wife and I had a table booked at a French restaurant tonight. I must just be going to smell her food wistfully...
