Monday 6th Feb weigh in

Typical man! I hope he is improving now gracesmum.

grace men think they are invincible and a stroll to the loo is fine even when they have been told not to move. Hope he behaves

Those beds without TV are a disgrace, my Father in Law spent a good few days in a bed without a TV, the fittings were all there but no TV, even if he was not watching at least you could ring and have a chat. It makes the days never ending for them. I took my Kindle in to see if he could use it, he has glaucoma so it was really useful changing the font so he didnt need his glasses but now he is home I cant seem to be able to drag it off him.

Thanks glass he was transferred to Cardiac Care Unit last night (to his disgust he had just charged up his TV card - or rather I had- so he could watch the Raymond Blanc prog when they moved him to a bed WITHOUT A TV. He's not really a TV person apart form the rugby and cookery porgrammes, but it's back to books for a bit now. When I arrived he was confined to bed for the day as he had had a fainting "episode" on his way back from the bathroom. So he got told off for not behaving.

grace you have a lot on at the minute, its understandable that watching you weight is the last thing on your mind, we are all here to help if we can. How is your DH ? Sending you a big hug

1/2 lb!!! I'd have lost more if I'd taken my necklace off!!
So despite impersonation of headless chicken over the last week, my weight has stayed static. Ah well, have other things on my mind - it'll pick up again when I am not so tired and take a bit more some exercise.

Which one jeni

Ordered!

I'll look out for them .thanks

jeni I dont know how many prositute points it is on WW, but on the whole it will probably be the pasta and cheese that you count, do you have one of those gadgets WW used to have... a food calculator or the WW scales where you put a plate on and keep adding items of food telling the scales what you have put on, and they point it for you (as far as I can remember but its years since I did WW).
Thats probably not much help to you sorry.

Ah, found the answer 3-5 depending on make. I make my own!

jeni

Shhh hope she is not reading this.

missed out 'to'

(Perhaps we'd better not mention it you-know-who).

Absolutely you can be our Guinea pig for this one,.

Right. I bags being the one to try it and let you all know.

Ok?!

HMM not sure I dare try it, it says that eating the cake after a big breakfast stops later cravings. I am not sure that would work for me, I have a very sweet tooth.
