I'm in a 'bottomless pit' mode today - just can't eat enough!

So far I've had:

2 fried eggs, tomatoes, avocado, 2 coffees
Sea bass fillets, red cabbage & salad, 2 glasses of wine
3 slices of bacon, brown sauce, on a buttered brioche bun
1 mini Magnum

I'm still hungry!

Travelled home on train, took nearly all day - all I have had is black coffee for breakfast, one medium latte and a bacon, brie and cranberry sauce panini at Lime Street. One black coffee and a scone on the train, one glass of red wine since I got here. Must cook something ?Gosh, you are all such healthy eaters ?

I looked after my grandchildren last night while mum and dad went to two different parties. As even one invitation is relatively rare for them, I certainly wasn't going to say no. The kids had put in a request for chicken nibbles – wings and thighs – that I cook in a sauce of honey, soy sauce and hoisin sauce – and noodles. As it's not something I particularly like, I skipped the nibbles and had a sandwich before checking the teeth cleaning (not for the one who is nearly 16) reading bedtime stories (not for the one who is nearly 16), and sending them off to bed.

I went to bed at 10.30 and three hours later the three-year-old appeared like an apparition wanting a drink, which, of course, I provided. The last time I looked at clock after that was 2.30, so I must have fallen asleep. The partygoers returned – somewhat noisily – at about a quarter past three when I awoke. They eventually went to bed which was next door to the room where I was sleeping and I watched the clock tick over and over. I think the last time I looked it was just before five in the morning.

Come rain or shine, I am habitually up at six – and my body clock made sure that I was this morning. Quite a lot of coffee for me and breakfast for the children. I did have a slice of toast. My lovely sluggards were lapped in swinish slumber until 11 o'clock – when Mr absent came to collect me.

I had a cheese sandwich for lunch, made by Mr absent – rather lacking in tomato or salad – but couldn't manage all of it. I had intended to roast a chicken for tonight's supper but am so tired that I have no desire to cook anything. So, I sent Mr absent to the supermarket to buy a couple of cans of soup which we can have with some toast. Chicken – tomorrow, tomorrow, the chicken is only a day away.

At my partner’s this evening, and he will probably have cooked a dahl. We’ll have it with the wine I opened yesterday.
I’m not mentioning the M&S pudding chocolates I will probably eat today, nor the biscuits.

Yesterday was a fairly usual weekend as far as eating goes.
Cup of tea in bed followed by two slices of toast with a fried egg and brown sauce in between. Half a punnet of blueberries.
Lunch was a round of roast beef and horseradish sandwiches and a handful of crisps followed by another cup of tea.
Mid afternoon, cup of tea and a handful of Aldi chocolate and caramel buttons.
Dinner was mince, carrots, mashed potato and yorkshire pudding. I had a thimbleful of Puligny Montrachet for taste.
Snack, whilst watching TV was a small bunch of grapes.

Hot lemon first thing. Lunch museli and extra seed mix with grapes and Greek yoghurt. Pm cheese and pickle sandwich and black coffee. Evening low fat Philly with celery and sugar snap peas. Lots of water. In bed at 8.30.

This is so unlike my normal junk food unhealthy eating!!!. However I've been suffering from the bloat and tummy gripes for a few days, feel exhausted, so trying to feel better. There must be lots of GN netters not posting, who are not so virtuous. Surely?

Nannylovesshopping Sun 25-Nov-18 09:50:36
