Hi, ZZ. Don’t know if it helps but I lost a couple of stone last year by not eating starchy carbs after 3pm ish. So I can have sandwich and pizza etc for lunch, but then just light for tea, fruit, yoghurt, soup etc. It really worked for me and I found I wasn’t craving carbs nearly as much either. I’m still enjoying chocolate and cakes etc. My friend has lost a similar amount by having just one meal a day, at 3.30ish, and drinking black coffee/ tea otherwise. I do find that if I have a biscuit or something at teatime, then I want more and more, so it definitely does something. I’ve kept the weight off, apart from a small blip over Christmas, now reconciled, which I never managed before. I tried the fasting diet, and that did help initially, but as soon as I started eating again on those days, it piled back on. I couldn’t imagine keeping on for the rest of my life not eating for two days a week.

That sounds more helpful, doesn’t it! At least you know that you’re meant to be exercising it - it’s when you don’t know whether to do that or rest it, that things get complicated. X

Oh my! It’s all go at your place!! I hope your routine helps your poor knee and you’re able to stick to it properly! Mr S! At long last! Hopefully nothing will get in the way of that happening this time! Fingers and toes crossed - 8 weeks takes into hopefully better weather when Zebedee will be starting his next load of chemo rounds. Put your feet up, everyone, ‘tis Friday!

Ours enjoyed ‘Bear Stays Up’ as well.

A little bit of winter? Was it that one?
-
Ooh yes! I can’t remember either!
-
Wishing a good and healthy 2023 to you all. Onwards and upwards! xxxx

My granddaughter enjoyed decorating a gingerbread man today! She learned about primary and secondary colours at the same time. (Every day is a learning day) 🤣🤣🤣🤭

It’s the time of year for feeling blue. Have you considered getting a Sad Lamp or using a daylight bulb? I know you’ve got that cold hanging about, but the extra lift the light gives really is there! I got one many moons ago and it completely lifted my winter months! I’ve not needed it since I retired as it’s easier to get outside at random times to get sunlight vitamins. It’s a tough time of year - and all the additional stresses really don’t help!! Sending gentle hugs your way xx

From taps only - speaking as someone who returned to Cumbria one evening to find it coming out of the striplights and power sockets 😳😬 I hope you’ve all had a thoroughly enjoyable few days, and now, buoyed up with Pringles and Ferraro rocher are ready to enter 2023. I wonder what this next year will bring us?

Have there been some local burst pipes with the cold weather? They should let you know really. Bad form!

Caught in a fishing net, we reckon

Of course. You know me so well!

She’s had my votes every week. I’ve found it hard to warm to the others. Initially I wanted Hamza for the win, as he’s such a lovely bloke, but I think he peaked with his couples choice, and that’s why he is doing it again. I do think that they should all do every dance, Fleur hadn’t done a foxtrot or a tango, Hamza hasn’t done a Paso or a Viennese Waltz, Molly hasn’t done a Salsa or a VW, Helen hasn’t done a Rhumba or a Tango! I’ve been keeping a check this year as I misremembered last year, with all the absences with Covid. they should leave the couples choice to this final - it’s just a showdance after all, so those who are doing it tonight are in effect doing two show dances, and that hardly seems fair!
-
I don’t either! Meant to ask, have you enough for us all?
-
Are the batteries still working in the fancy one with the FSF logo that lights up?
-
We’ve got a dusting but the blue sky and sunshine are here now, so the sledging party will probably be cancelled folk, sorry. If Sunnyday still has some, we’d best meet up there again if she’s got her balaclava dry
-
Depends what sort of snow it is. If it’s frozen, fairly dry stuff that’s blowing about anyway, it might work. Generally though it’s too wet and heavy to get airborne again.
-
That song in my head this morning ‘Welcome to my world’. For us ‘ere up north it’s time to start and think about maybe putting a jumper and long trousers on 🤣🤣.
-
All round to yours then for a change, to sledge off your roof instead of mine! Break out the hot chocolate - gluten free for me please and I’ll bring fudgy chocolate cake!

A sad indictment on society these days - that generation who expect their ‘rights’ whatever they may be. Heaven forbid they should actually have to DO anything themselves. Seems to be becoming more common, sadly.

Wowsers! So jealous! Mine live in this heavy glass bowl

My life seems to have been full of committees. 3 different PCCs, 2 boards of governors, 2 PTA’s, a restoration committee, a preschool committee, girl guiding, childminders and early years, church social and fundraising, church hall management, churches together………. It can be never ending and I always seem to end up as Secretary or treasurer!
-
Woooah! How is it Friday again!!!
-
I’m obsessed with sea glass too! I’m glad it’s not just me! 🤭
