The FastDay Forum

Morning all, looks like I'm lucky first today.
Another quiet day at work for me, might get to cleaning up the factory here, doesnt that sound exciting
Hope everyone else has better things to do today.

Good morning Wineoclock. I'm in today. I am gradually coming back to earth after the past months of electioneering. Today I plan to pick up the walnuts, saving what I can from the parrots. I am going to tidy up and clean up the study where there are boxes of electioneering paraphernalia.I am going to continue my project of preserving tomatoes. I have had a very good crop this year and so far I have made passata, pasta sauce which I have frozen and I have also frozen bags of tomatoes, unprocessed. Yesterday I started drying some in the dehydrator. Today I might makes some more passata.

The scales - maligned on this forum as being 'dodgy', gave up the ghost the other day when OH overbalanced on them. I feel a bit sad about this as they have given me good weights over the past months and I am afraid new scales may not be so kind. I am going to order some new scales, recommended by Amanda Salis, from Western Australia. Now I have to find that email, years old, where she gives me the details of the brand and contact.

Have a good day, Monday fasters.

I'm in. May have just slightly overindulged on the weekend. Happy to be fasting. Have a good one everybody.

I'm in today. This is the week that 8 gr5 back to business. I'd been doing so well last year, but since Christmas with a stream of visitors right up until last week, I just haven't been able to get back into the swing of 5:2.....until today!!!
Good luck Monday fasters!

Ooops typos!!!
* I get

So my day was going ok, cleaning the factory, only coming across Daddy long leg spiders. That was until I picked up an old paint drop sheet and out crawled a gigantic ugly black spider. I think thats enough cleaning for one day.
Oh and ugly spider is now very squashed into factory floor.

I'm stalled on my room tidying project. No spiders but piles of papers! I think I'll just throw everything in the bin! So hard to do... Scales ordered however, so one thing accomplished.

Good afternoon fellow fasters!
@ Sallyo and @ Wineo'clock -you are both shaming me! I was going to continue sorting the mountains of wool I seem to have collected or inherited, but.....
I have swum my laps, visited Mum, and done the grocery shopping, but can't seem to get to the wool today.
Looking fwd to veges and fruit later.
Have a good fast everyone.

I'm in. I still haven't got my momentum back after trying to go sugar free. I've been bingeing on sugar food like chocolates and baking, and last week wound up abandoning my second fast at lunchtime. So I've given myself a lecture and mid arvo and I'm hungry but hacking it.

You can do it, Katamac! I'm hungry too and just succumbed to miso soup! Fighting the urge to go to the sesame wheat biscuit supply! I'll go outside and distract myself by potting up some small Basil plants. Then I'll start cooking dinner: lamb with salad. This is the hardest hour.

It's an hour later in Tas than Queensland? We're still on daylight saving so I haven't got as long to go.
