The losers club

[sapphire1]

Woah, sounds like you've got your hands full Fabby!

Glad Jen's appt went well

 

[Fabby]

I did today! But the little boy who I have just on a Friday is only coming the next 2 fridays and that's it. The new little boy is such a good boy and such a pleasure to have spending our days with.

 

[Lettuce]

Aw, that's lovely fabby! go you on the hike! I aim to drop a dress size in 8weeks, think it's possible?
Yum blondey, we had homemade fish and chips for tea! Again!
I'm so delighted I've finally cleared the boxes out my hall, after 4months, I keep going out to look at it...

 

[Fabby]

Yeah definately lettuce! Just don't do no crash diet because it just won't stay off. I've lost gradually and cam actually eat/drink what I want at weekends and not pile it back on. Like for Instance last week we had a Chinese Friday and a curry out on Saturday for a friends birthday and I still managed loose a pound in the week. If I stuck to it more at weekends, I would of lost a lot more but I dont feel like I'm dieting.

 

[blondey]

Get out fabby, you're making me feel bad I lost about 6lbs but that's only because what I was eating was coming out of both ends, niiiiiiiiiice

Meh, no lie in for me tomorrow, training, boooooo!!

So fabby, was childminding what you did before you had Rory? Does it pay ok (if you don't mind me asking?)

Yay, my tax code has gone back up to normal and my outstanding payment to HMRC is paid! I should think so too, what I earnt last year I should have paid £340 tax apparently, but I paid £1100! It now means that my wages for p/t are only £200 less than what I was taking home when I was f/t! Defo wouldn't have been worth it to go back full time, child care would have been way more than an extra £200 per month!!

 

[Lettuce]

Thanks fabby, you totally inspired me! I can't do crash diets so I'm just going to cut down on all my food in general, just having massive portions recently and if I do 2 classes a week and two big walks a week I should manage. I hope. I've got a lovely dress for jens birthday but I want to feel a bit more comfortable in it iykwim? Like just some more room. And I'd like to fit into the trousers I have...

 

[Lettuce]

Yay! Thats good blondey, sucks about training tho.
I wonder if ill get a tax rebate this year. That'd be nice! :

 

[Emmy1987]

Oh I'd love a tax rebate!

I've signed up to myfitnesspal, it's really good, free and doesn't feel like I'm on a diet, yet in the first two weeks I lost 3lb just by tracking what I eat and not just sitting and snacking in boredom!! And that included lots of chocolate over Easter weekend

Bedtime for us, viewings tomorrow!

Night losers!

 

[Lettuce]

I'm on it too emmy, just started tho. Tbh I'm hoping it shames me into stopping eating...
Good luck with the houses!

Man, I can't wait til Jen drops this feed...

 

[Natsku]

I get a couple hundred in my tax return this year woo

Is childminding nice fabby? Dunno if I could handle looking after more than Maria!

Hope you manage to lose enough weight in time Lettuce.

I am so ill urgh

 

[Emmy1987]

Get well soon Nats

I've been up since 6.45 with my back after a horrendous sleep. I couldn't even get out of bed when Doo woke for her dummy

 

[Fabby]

Yeah love it nats. I'm none stop all day though and there's lots of paperwork. I just count myself lucky that I can work from home and still be with my boy. I charge £25 a day blondey. So if I worked to my numbers (which I wouldn't because I'd prefer an easier life) I could earn £80 a day / £400 a week.

Rorys woke with a stinking cold.

What's matter with you nats? A cold too?

 

[Lettuce]

Oh boo to the sick losers and loser babies!
I'm waiting on DH getting dressed so we can go out. Sigh.
What you do to your back Emmy?
I've not really been in discomfort since my spin class either im fitter than I thought or I didn't work hard enough... I know which one is most likely....

 

[Natsku]

Urgh to bad backs Emmy, mine is bad too today but I can't keep anything down so no point taking a painkiller.

Some vomiting bug Fabby, hoping Maria doesn't get it.

 

[blondey]

Ergh, hope your bug goes soon nats! Nothing worse than puking and having to look after a toddler!!

£25 a day fabby? Want to look after AM? She does 15 hours a week (my mum has her the other 10 hours that I work) and it costs us near on £400 a month!

Training was crap. Our trainer bundled us in with another class, because we were covering the same topics and they obviously wanted to share the work load and take it in turns to teach.

Got steak, onions, home made wedges and peas for din dins!

Lettuce you obviously didn't work hard enough! No pain no gain as they say. If that's the case, I must have got lots of gain from circuits as I could barely walk till Wednesday! I looked like an old lady that had crapped herself when I tried to sit on a chair or the floor!!

 

[Fabby]

I'm actually one of the most expensive childminders around here tbh, a lot of them only charge 20 quid a day!
Dinner sounds nice blondey.
Hope your sickness goes soon nats.
I've just put rory to bed. He's proper stuffed with loads of rubbish bless him. The karvol plug in is in and his room smells of vicks! He's got sum vapo rub on his chest too and he had a dose of nurofen too.

 

[Natsku]

My ex is keeping Maria overnight cos she fell asleep before he could get her in the carseat so I've got the whole night to recover thankfully. Feeling a bit better now, managed to eat a banana and not throw up! Still have a high fever though

 

[Lettuce]

That's a blessing nats! I hope it's jus a 24hr thing.
Yeah, youre so right blondey, I need to up the pace!
How's the back Emmy?
My mum was a childminder when I was young, it was great!

 

[Fabby]

Haha my mum came around yesterday and she said its just like playgroup here!
What's everyone up to tomorrow? I've got go out get SIL a birthday pressie and had planned go holiday shopping but will have see how little man is

 

[Lettuce]

Hope he's better! Jen won't go to sleep tonght!
Mass for us, then seeing my mum. My dad ha rehearsals for his show tomorrow. I'm hoping DH will do some work on the flat!
I'm going to join the gym just PAYG til I know I'm going to stick at it.
