The FastDay Forum

Hi all!

I am not normally off work on a sunday but due to bike ride in central London I couldn't get in!

Like an idiot I thought great i'll go shopping first thing in the morning only to find out nothing opens till 10, arghh!!

Anyway bought a few bits and bobs, so here I am on my own this pm, well with my two doggies lol,( I have a dozen chickens too so will go on my daily egg run later haha ) not doing anything exciting, defrosting my fridge that's about how exciting it gets!!!

So what are you all up to?
Fasting tomorrow so enjoying today, take care everyone!

Its chucking it down with rain here. Dark miserable sky as well. So I am going to hide in my shed and make something out of wood.

It's overcast but quite warm here so we shall be off to the pub and meet up with friends before an early dinner of roast chicken with lots of lovely fresh vegetables and strawberries and blueberries with cream., all washed down with a lovely bottle of cool white wine, oh can't wait.

Hope you all have a great day whatever you are doing,

Well after a couple of shopping trips lately I'm sorting out 1 of my wardrobes yes only one for now charity bag at the ready and feeling very focused and yes generous coz there's loads to go in bags!!!
The time has come as everything was hanging off me and now some other people ( fatter than I now am ) can benefit. Sue

Night here now but spent the afternoon being a couch potato. A bit cool here and windy but I'm tucked up in bed now about to read a book. I'm fasting tomorrow too. Enjoy the rest of Sunday everyone.

Oooh! Sue you have just reminded me to sort out my stuff for selling on ebay. Though I may not be selling the summer wear till after the summmer sales. I will be sneaky and try and catch the winter sun crowd who can't find summer stuff in November.

8am here and its a sunny comfortable morning with little birdies chirping. My daughter may be coming for a visit. Thought we should head out to the beach. The ocean around here is normally very cold but with all the heat this summer its a lovely 70degrees.

Hey Julie,

what do you make with wood? sorry am being bit nosey lol!! is that a craft hobby?
I ask because I work in art gallery so always interested in any kind of art
still very warm here, there is a breeze though but too hot for poor doggies...might take them out for second walk later on this evening..

enjoy the rest of your sunday everybody!!

Still warm and sunny here in Northumberland. Went out and did a bit of shopping, encouraged to by the 'breakfast' and 'butter' threads! Am now looking out on the garden, which needs some attention, really ought to get out there before the forecast rain gets up here ...

Like Julie and Sue, I have a few bags sorted ready for the charidee shop ...

Clairemarie, was up early this morning, and noticed quite a few housemartins and swallows already flitting about and congregating on the phone wires at about 6.30 am ... they will be off south soon, to the southern hemisphere ... so the beginning of the end of our summer ...

Hi Angie, I'm still learning, but I do a lot of lathe work. To practice all the curves and turns I make erm... how do I put this... 'ladies toys', for my female friends.
*whispers* Wooden dildoes.

OMGG Julie!!! HAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAH too funny!! what a fun thing to do!
Hope they dont have splinters , Owieeeee hahaha

Well for me, its just barely morning so I have the whole day ahead, and its a fasting day, so hopefully it will go fast.

Maybe later hubby and I will go to SAMS club to stock up on some supplies we need. Other than that, just get thru the day, and look forward to my Sunday TV shows...

Hi everyone, well my days are all starting to merge. I am in week 3 after total kee replacment and moving well doing all the exercises elevating and ice packs....that is what my days consist of unless someone picks me up and take me out, which is just lovely. I am not able to do 5:2 currently but am watching what I am eating and trying not to eat between meals, I have put on about 5lb, but with the lack of mobility I am not too worried and will loose this when I return to 5:2, and can get back to swimming etc...so that's my afternoon, bit like yesterday and the day before...ha ha..x

Mrsrae Tough to go thru that with such a hot summer. I hope it goes quickly for you. Why do you need to gain 5lbs? The less weight on joints is better. Right?

JULIE my hobby Is dolls houses, I think I need to have a re think as your hobby seems a lot more interesting

It's cool and somewhat overcast here this morning. I've just finished my eggwhite, turkey bacon sandwich on whole grain that sweet OH toddles out to Starbucks to get for me every Sunday. He's proposing that we walk to our favorite supermarket with backpacks this afternoon to top up the fridge (it's a mile one way) I think I'll go along with it.

We live downtown and recently sold our car and joined a Carshare org here in town. I'll be happy to explain in another post if anyone would like to know what carshare is. As a result, we walk more and drive less than we used to. With just two of, we don't need to grocery shop too often and there are some smaller food places nearby plus farmers market 6 months of the year.

Moving to the downtown of this small city is one of the best things we've ever done! We walk almost everywhere and have a choice of +- 50 restaurants.
