Yogi causing bother again  

I bought a fresh baked loaf this afternoon- for MIL tomorrow when she puppy sits! It's delicious

I always get the blame.

 

All this talk of food is making me hungry.

Have you eaten it then 

Dont go there!! xx

My diet has hit an impasse. I've lost 15lbs but now I seem to have got stuck.

Son is still playing the "you need to exercise" record. I'm still ignoring him.

Well done you !! xx

Thanks Skylark, I still have lots to lose - I'd like to blame the steroids, but it just wouldn't be true.

Need to get off, i am getting on sons nerves being in his room and up in the morning! His sighing may be a hint!
Goodnight all, sleep well  

That is quite a subtle hint, my lot would be more forceful.

Goodnight, sweet dreams.

You have done well, good for you xx

Off for a bath, then bed. Goodnight Summer, if you are still around.

Sorry I had to sort out my spare phone- thank goodness I keep it! You'll laugh when I tell you it's ringtone; rockin around the Christmas tree by Brenda Lee! Must have been Xmas time when I last used it then Sweet dreams all I can't get on here on my Nokia but I'll call in tomorrow night

Good morning everyone

 

Another lovely sunny day here

 

Summer, I hope your iPhone recovers from its trip to the seaside - you need it

 

 

Good morning everyone, looks like a beautiful morning.  I have missed the bit about the iPhone, hope it will survive Summer.

 

Yogi I wouldn't worry about the weight not shifting.  My friend who's just had the bariatric surgery (medical reasons, she was born with arthritis) found that the weight dropped off her before the op.  They had restricted what she was allowed to eat drastically.  Since the op she hasn't lost any weight (on the scales that is) but you can see it's still coming off.  The body can be funny that way, it seems to want to hold onto the weight.  I don't know how it works but I know it does so you will probably find that if you keep on going it will suddenly shift.

I have checked and Downton is starting on STV on the 16th.

 

Thanks El, they have learnt their lesson! 
Good morning, hope the phone recovers Summer x
A bit dismal here this morning, although the seagulls are loving it, they have been giving it plenty since dawn. Enjoy the sun those who have it x

Thanks Squiggle, that's encouraging to hear. I will stick with it and hopefully the weight will come off eventually.

 

Good afternoon all. It's pretty miserable weather up here - very windy and raining.

 

Summer, I hope your phone has dried out and is working properly again.

 

Thanks for the news that Downton will be shown on STV, El. I think they were scared not to show it, in case Skylark gave them another telling off.

 

I went to Morrisons this morning to do my weekly shopping, and the prices are beyond a joke now. You get so little for your money, it's depressing.

Yogi, on Radio 4 news this morning at about 7.15/20 there was an interview in the business section with the chief executive of Morrisons as there has been in a dip in sales and profits.

Link to BBC article about this including the interview:

Something to ponder about for those of us who need to shed a pound or two

 

Squiggle, that's brilliant!

In that case, I'm a genius.

 

El, I checked out the Morrisons' link.

Did any of you see this BBC article yesterday re people can be obese but still medically fit:

Evening x
haha squiggle ! i must be a genius too 
I go to Tesco these days, just because its nearer and its the same. the price of food is shocking. Fruit and veg will get more expensive too with all the rain we have had  

Interesting article, El.

It has been a terrible year for crop growing farmers, and we are going to get hit hard in our pockets over the winter, because the home-grown produce just isn't going to be available.

Yes its shame for the farmers when their livelihood depends on getting a good harvest. Signing off son needs the computer. Goodnight all xxx

Prices are really quite frightening nowadays for all sorts of things, fuel, petrol and food amongst other things.  It must be a nightmare for families with young children and teenagers, I know how they can be like bottomless pits.

It's a real shame.

Goodnight Skylark.

 

I remember those days well, Squiggle. Teenagers seem to have hollow legs, goodness knows where they put it all.

Signing out now, goodnight everyone.

evening My phone is looking promising, I'm not getting my hopes up, it may well suddenly stop working in a day or so.. But at the moment it's back to normal I'm shocked! Yogi, muscle mass, hydration levels.. All sorts can affect the number on the scales, please don't be too hard on yourself if it doesn't move for a while. I think you're doing a great job Hope everyone had a good day

Good morning everyone

 

Another sunny day in this area

 

Summer, I hope your iPhone continues to behave itself.

 

As you say, increasing prices are a nightmare of families on low income. Only in the day or so, Save the Children has launched an appeal for the families in this country who are affected.

 

Good morning everyone, I can tell it's going to be a lovely day but loads of condensation (almost frost but not quite) on the outside of the windows and frost on the grass which just needs to melt away first.

 

Great news about your phone Summer

 

I rather liked this

 

Squiggle, that is a very good video

Good morning I'm here! And very happy about it too Sunny here, i've got that Friday feeling alright

Squiggle, does the early mornings there smell of autumn yet?

Thanks for the phone support btw

So glad you are able to be on here again during the day Summer, yes the year has turned and the smell of Autumn is in the air.  Because the year took so long to get going there has not been a lot of dying off of the vegetation yet as there usually is by now, which is nice.  It is the one thing I don't like, to see the plants yellowing and looking sorry for themselves.  This is when I am most grateful to have a gardener who will trim them back and then we can look forward to the new growth in the Spring.

Good morning everyone. Weather is cold, wet and miserable up here. Yay, glad your iPhone is working again, Summer. Hubby is off today, so we are going out and about. I can't see the video on my app, will watch it later on my lappy, Squiggle. xx

Morning x
Glad the phone is behaving Summer x 
Have a nice day Yogi x
Will watch clip later squiggle, will have to restart comp as my plug in thingy has crashed again.

Quite a nice day here again!  
Have a good one x
