We've got a pink peony in the back garden and it's lovely. I've been doing some more tidying up in the front garden this afternoon. We will be putting the bedding plants out shortly so we need the space. I'm shattered now. If the weather is nice tomorrow, I'll get some more done.

Good morning all , looks like the promised storm is heading over here its very dark & raining this morning . Anybody had the thunder yet ?
20-05-2014 8:56 AM
We had it on and off from yesterday lunchtime untill about 5am this morning. Heavy rain with it too. it is dry now.

The thunder & lightning was quite spectacular here last night. poor Damson hid under the table! Dry now but looks like the rain is on it's way again. The sun tried to come out but lost the battle!

We're still nice and sunny here. No rain. Not as hot as it was yesterday but still a pleasant day. Just been and gone and done my fifty lengths.

Just back from the docs where the nurse weighed me. I have lost 8.5 lbs in the last three weeks.

Well done Maggie. I'm still looking for a diet where you can eat as much as you want of chocolate, ice cream. chips, wine and lose half a stone a week. If you see one, let me know will you? 🙂
20-05-2014 3:10 PM
I'd love a diet like that as well CG. I must admit that I'm trying to lose some weight. I've not had any chocolate since last week and I've been swimming more so, hopefully, when I get weighed in the morning, I will have lost some weight.
20-05-2014 3:26 PM
I have cut out Biscuits, cake, pastry & chocolate. Cut way back on pasta & have only had two bread rolls & no other bread in the last three weeks! I feel I have more energy now. Still drinking the wine though! lol
20-05-2014 3:42 PM
Well, I've cut out chocolate and I used to have a latte and a round of toast after my swim. So I've also cut out the latte and toast and I have spent more time swimming. I can't blame the wine though as I don't drink anything alocoholic. I can't act daft without the loopy juice and I don't have the hangover the following day.

you've done really well Maggie, I think living on your own helps a lot too, as OH wouldn't eat the diet stuff I would. Cooking for one is so much easier if you've a diet plan on the go.
Poor Damson, we had a dog who was terrified in storms, she would know ages before they hit, that they were coming and she'd hide in the nearest cupboard.

Our last dog used to go and hide under my mum and dad's bed about half an hour before it thundered. He also hated fireworks. I feel sorry for any animal that is frightened when it thunders or there's fireworks going off.

Not eating diet stuff CB. Just not eating chocolate, cakes, biscuits & pastry.
Off to Devon in the rain shortly to collect the Singer machine table I bought on Ebay. Barbara my neighbour is coming along for the ride so I will have some company. See you later.

I think Maggie should be ok weather wise it seems to have finally stopped raining.

That is basically what I am doing Gina. I lost a lot with SW but I am not paying to go again as I can do it on my own now.
23-05-2014 3:38 PM
Well done Gina. When I got weighed on Wednesday, I hadn't lost any weight but I'll keep trying and see what happens when I get weighed next week.
23-05-2014 10:05 PM
the only trouble with SW is when you stop it, you pile on the weight again. I've seen this happen with at least 4 people in work. It's a whole lifestyle change.
I'm slowly going to drop those items Maggie and others of course, I have trouble finding things that are low fat that aren't full of sugar....hey ho onward and upwards!
