Had porridge with honey, dates and blueberries earlier. I'm peckish now but dunno what to have.

Have read the links and answered my own questions - sorry. The info HERE is like a revelation to me really it describes it exactly (I'd had a viral infection before Christmas) - thanks I'd been really worried and the doctors just didn't give a toss. I'm ok now as long as I don't laugh hard - that just sets it off. I hope you feel better soon One thing I did find a bit helpful was cuddling a hot water bottle against my chest.

What is the cure for that? Is it an infection or an ongoing condition that you can't do much about? You see I had chest pains like that throughout the Christmas holiday. Sometimes I couldn't move without crying and it hurt to breathe in. I found that painkillers from the chemist made no difference to it either. I went to the docs about it twice as advised by NHS Direct (who I phoned when I was home alone and paranoid I may be having a heart attack). Doc said I had hurt myself coughing. I haven't had a cough since November

Har har har Fankyewse. Eye az mowstlee bin dewink numba tew ann numba nyn. Roar-ee

Roar-ee is 8 today. Happy Birthday Stinker!!! (This is Rory meeting his half brother Kevin who tracked him down via the internet.) (oops sorry mods if this is in wrong place )

Significantly less important whinge: Padded bras - I hate em. I don't want to pretend my baps are big. I like the ones I've got. Stop making so many padded bras please. Fankyewse.

I have students who do that. They also have a good scratch.

Had 2 wholemeal toast for breakfast. Borlotti bean and butternut squash casserole for lunch. We are going to get some body fat scales for the house. I might have a ticker to show how it reduces (hopefully) back down to something healthier than it is now. I need to be fit by the time I go snowboarding (9 weeks away) because it is hard work walking up hills in snow, whilst dressed like the michelin man whist at high altitude. So providing I can stand up straight and move around soon I will start my exercise stuff.

I'm not annoyed about this anymore I still wish Carol Vorderman would pizz orf and stop telling people to go to Farm Foods. Likewise I don't think that Lulu and Denise Van Outen shop at Morrisons either.

Yes I had to speak to three of those earlier. I was calling about something that should have arrived in November but still hasn't. They didn't understand what I was on about, even though I had a letter infront of me with a reference no on it, telling me to expect the arrival of this thingy. Twonks. Whilst on the subject of money I would like to complain about credit card companies that won't allow me to be a card tart and switch to their new 0% deals. I think it is because I am a serial card tart who always pays up on time and switches at the end of a deal - they don't make much money out of me.

Melp your situation sounds the same as mine. I don't mind if I don't shrink weight wise. I just want to have more muscle and less fat. A year ago I was 8st 1lb and had body fat of 19%. Then I grew a bit to 9st (57kg) and body fat nearer 30% (not healthy). This happened when I got very busy at work, started eating rubbish, particularly late at night and stopped making time to do any exercise) I am about 8st 9lbs now (55kg) - dunno what my body fat is because I don't have the right kind of scales here at home. I need to do exercise. Had plans for gym on a Thursday, ice skating lesson on a Monday and running at the weekends. Can't start any of it now that I have bad back.. so I am sitting in the house, trying not to eat too much, whilst reading books about running and ice skating.

Had a bowl of beany soup with linseeds on it and a bit of soda bread. Did just have a bite sized bar of green and blacks wot I got for Christmas but it was tiny. Awaiting arrival of shopping. Will then inspect use by dates and decide what we eating tonight. (I think it will be soy beans/noodles with spring onion/soy/honey/ginger type dressing).

OH bought some 'banned items' into the house as a present. Caramel pecan cupcakes.

Carol Vorderman. Does she really expect me to believe that she shops in Farm Foods?

Whinging people who write 7 pages of whinges whilst I am downstairs. When am I supposed to read all those?

People at work tell me I whinge alot. I don't care. I'm not going to pretend that crap things at work are acceptable.. anyway... Today I whinge that I can't start my ice skating lessons yet again - should be there now. Osteopath has signed me off work for a week. I also whinge that I have been sent a request for a portfolio of my work for entry to a masters degree. Sadly there are no details of what should be included in the portfolio. It just says 'work' Du eto present illness I have no chance of getting that ready in time now that I have loads to catch up on at work... I might just defer until September else I will be stressed and it won't be any fun. Finally, I would like to whinge about rubbish GP's who don't listen to you, make you wave your arm around in the air, can't tell you what is wrong and then tell you to take pain killers.

Not feeling hungry today at all. Ate 2 half fat crossaints because they needed using up. Thats it so far.

WD Sam Had papaya, kiwi and blueberries for breakfast. Two brown toast with beans for lunch.

Have you tried the one by Silver Spoon. It has a jar with a yellow lid. Actually I think they just changed it to pink/purple. OH uses that instead of the 3 sugars he has in every hot drink. It must be pretty close to sugar taste if he will use it.

Well done Just had a cheese and spinach sandwich on seeded bread, some almonds and some blueberries.

Brekkie was two brown toast. Have not had anything else yet. Went to osteopath who did the usual stuff to me. It usually works straight away but 4 hours later I am still in pain and have restricted movement so will probably have to go back again. Ice skating on Monday not likely now. (turns out osteopath man goes to the same ice skating lessons so will see him there )

I don't think a good breeder would ever have given a dog to these people (unless they lied to get it) but I don't think they would have been able to pull that one off.

Surprise surprise... bored already. Semi lodger got bored and I think dog has been left to our friend (who admitted to paying for the pup and agreeing to keep it in his house). Bitch is now going to be returned to where she came from. (dunno who that is or what prospects will be?)

Oh ta didn't see that

sorry Alicia
