Hi Di, glad youre feeling better now!!!

Ona xx

have a lovely day everyone and good luck for this week

Love it Eli!

Paula thankyou for the sentiment, hope your feeling brighter in yourself.

Di, that's the worst about the 48 hrs, you begin to feel a fraud, but its better that than suffer the outcomes Think someone had been slightly heavy with the senna in the establishement I attended today . Did you 'baby' get home okay from spain blooming miserable weather to land in, but at least its nice and sunny today, handy for the washing machine which will no doubt be in overtime mode.

Hope abody else fine, succummed yesterday to a scone, clotted cream n jam not 'clarted' on tho.

Hi ladies

Hope everyone having a good day, will catch up later.

Marion love the expression (not clarted on) lolxx hope you enjoyed it.

well did all my friday shenanignans and went to the virgin vie party which was good crack, felt ropey saturday went to dunhelm mill sat afternoon to buy bedding and curtains for sons room, had a trolley ful so left it downstairs while i nipped upstairs for coathangers and yep in my ropey state when i got back downstairs i then had to spend 10 minutes looking for my trolley!!!!!

then my young shop assistant charge me twice for curtains and i had to wait another 5 minutes waiting for his boss to come and over ride his till ( fabulous!!! )

carpet laid today so once bed is in position and curtains hung, i will need to get a lampshade and whalla finito!!!

picked son up from the trip on friday and GRUMPY isnt enough to describe him as they were all shattered as they did the trip to france via coach to dover!!! grrrrrrrrrr

pat big hugs, di get that washing oot its a good blawing day!!

everyone else and marion - have a good eeen

another double post GRRRRRRR

soz you maybe thought i had something else to whitter about!

going to curves again tonight and no i am not using the hula!

Afternoon ladeez!

What lovely weather!! I went for a walk round Seaton Park at lunchtime and it was gorgeous out and the flowers are going to look stunning! I'm right into flowers with going to Gardening Scotland yesterday!!! I'm going to get a wee window box as my pal bought me a fuischa called Nicky's Findling!!!

I got a right boot up the behind on Saturday to get me going on PEP! I bumped into some people I haven't seen for years who are slim and it made me feel huge especially I was slim when I last saw them...I think I've got quite complacent as everyone I generally see these days except for family have never seen the slimmer me...I've had a healthy brekkie and lunch today and my tea is planned so onto a fresh new start for me!

Hope you're all having a great peping day! xx

Nicky know exactly what you mean, 2 weeks ago in Tesco's in the Broch bumpted into one of the ass. managers of one of the places I 'visit',[Aberdeen] she has a friend in common with my younger days,....... Was yapping away etc etc, as you do,. anyway, saw her at work and she said that the 'lassie' was quiet as she hadn't a clue who I was when she found out ........her reaction was ' she [me]used to be so skinny' ....... Didn'a think I'd put on that much mind............. you I was a size 8

ola ladeeeez hope we are all fit and fine this dreich day!!!

went to curves last night and feel it in my thighs today, still havent mustered up the courage for the hula but i did do the little thing you stand on and turn from side to side ( little circle thingy!)

going again on wed night, only thing is i have my face appt first but will go there 5 to 6 then head across to curves then home........

i feel like i need another 1/2 hour in bed this morning it must be the weather....

just had a bowl of special K substain and blueberries and read the sun at my desk, now i must go and do some good old fashioned work xxxxxxxx

well hello me and my large shadow!!!!

just call me on mi todd


well yes my special K with fresh blueberries did keep me going ( although i had a little blueberry top up at 10.45)

heated a tesco Baked tattie for lunch with a side portion ( naff ) of cheese and onion square crisps.......


breath honking so wont stand too close to people this afternoon!!!

plan to have a tesco chicken and brocolli ready meal for supper tonight, will do some carrots and cabbage to pad it out a bit.....

well i am officially announcing you all as missing in action and im lonely boo hooo

Hello Skippy, do not fear I am hear, should be working as was out of office this am, but bosses out so what the hell.

As they say no pain no gain re your visit to curves. I havent tried blueberries but Nicky raves about them so will have to give them a try.

Is sons room all in order now? Is it still the Booster Plan you are following never tried it, seems pretty like my friend who on WW (swear word) core plan diet all down to porton control.

Keep up the good work and hopefully the scales will be kind to you on Thursday. Hope we get a better day than this for our little jaunt to Dundee

Hi to everyone else will catch up later, hope you are happy little PEPPERS

Ona xx

Just being nosey and sying HI and good luck to you all!

Afternoon ladies!

I hope you are all having a good day and being very good peppers! xx

Totally emotional today, just had a rant on the 'Fern Briton' post to prove it and I ain't apologising for it, agree with what you said on it Carol, leave the poor women alone

Works pissing me off, 2 D/N's phoning me with stupid, stupid issues they need to get a life, were here for patient care not there ego's, no Im not apologising [would like to put something worse]

The reason I'm emotional is first of all my brother should have been 49 today, we don't yet have anywhere to 'mark' his life, ongoing issues with sister and will remain that way and yesterday's EE showed a 'bygone' photo and in it was one of his daughters, havn't seen her since she was 3yrs or so - they split up. It was just a coincidence it was in. I have done nothing but bash about at home, shouted at hubby when he came in throught the door from night shift, ranted at eldest for not tidying up his lunch time stuff, thumped the washing machine door closed as it seems to be growing washing................ [just waiting to go off] Came on here and ranted in a post so will probably be in the bad books wi them as well.

Just canna be bothered being "nice" today at all. I'm awa to read the paper.

Good evening ladies
Trying every day to stick with pep and generally going over by bedtime,but am not giving up trying so there's hope for me yet.
Marion hope you are feeling a bit better and are chilling out .

Have a great day peeps xx

Oh! Nicky you fool mink hang your head in shame............up our way your 'judged' on the state of your windows in door step, MIL our scrubbing hers every week, far as me! I wait till the rain comes on.

Lovely HOT day again long may it last!

...nobody knows it's my windows but at least I do wash them every now and again ...some of my neighbours windaes!!! They will be being washed either some evening next week as I practically have a free week!!! or when I'm off on holibobs!!! One of my mum's neighbours is alway scrubbing her doorstep, polishing the letterbox and door handle etc...I take after my mother!!!! Dinnae tell her I said that if you ever meet her!!!!

marion you go girl

just say it as you see it!!!

and nicky i dont really do that much either but dont tell marion!

My lips are sealed Nicky, just in case I bump into your mum . OH! the stories you could tell aboot folk in there windaes!!! the way they hang their washing....., the doorstep.....etc etc etc But NOT fae me,honest.

Nearly weighing in time, fog coming down, might lose my way to Torry BUT through thick in thin I shall be there............

Well ats me back fae weigh-in, drove through the dense for, trundled up the hill fae parked car, walked down the road waited for Skippy.................signed in, sat through Peggy's class and like good little girlies stood in line for the scales and whey hey I'm 2lbs down - okay so I've prolonged it a bit but 1 1/2 more and it will be a stone just in time for my holidays...............

Well done Marion.
Hope you've all had a good day.
Talking of windaes and steps ,I remember when I lived in a tenement(In Tillydrone ) and we all took turns to do the stairs.One day the neighbour across the way ,who had the kids from hell might I add,commented that we hadn't done them in a while-cheeky bugger ,not once did I see him or his wife out cleaning the bloody things,or tidying up the mess that his kids made.We didn't have kids at the time so we know it wasn't us that made it!
Have a good day the morn ,hope its a bonny one.
Di

Peggy is funny tho marion isnt she?

well Marion i think you underplayed the 1.5 to go to the stone before holiday line!!!!!!

Marion and I are going to the Wed class next week so I am with Marion when she stands on the scales and be told you have lost 1.5 = her first stone and she is flying off on holiday the next day ..... thats what i call commitment!!!!

i lost 1.5 which is in the right direction, have no social nights planned this weekend so no excuses and off to the old curves tonight which will be the recommended 3 per week..........

we met my friend who had the gastric band fitted just last week and she said she had lost 7lb before flying to belgium and has lost 1stone 3 since last Monday and she said she felt terrific!

we wont see her for another couple of weeks so will be interesting to see how she has gotten on........

so i reckon we should ALL police Marion to make sure we get the 1.5 off on wed!!!!!

basically lets all be nippy sweeties!!!!

Well done Marion and Skippy! Marion....you go get that 1.5lbs off for your hols next week!

I'm off to Glasgow for the weekend...yay!! CHAS Volunteer conference tomorrow which should be very interesting, I think!

Oh...and I lost 2lbs today!!!

Have a great day ladies! xx

Nicky well done YOU on the loss !!! :
are you overnighting it in glasgow?

and you need to SHOUT a bit louder at MARION as she WILL lose the 1.5 next week!!!!!! : :

Hoy! I see you looking in Skippy I'll be good honest, so its your turn to pick on me now I really really stick to pep Honest injun. Peggy got a wee bit confused between her 2's n 3's I still widn'a want to be on the receiving end of a red pen from her tho'

Well done Nicky on the 2lb.

YOU WILL STICK TO PEP AND LOSE 1.5LBS BEFORE YOUR HOLS MARION!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is that loud enough now!!!??!!

Thank you! I'm just glad that I'm feeling positive again and I'm still keeping the mental picture in my head of last Saturday which seems to be doing the trick!

I'm staying until Sunday and was going to be meeting up with Lisino but she's off on her holibobs but I'll probably be cream crackered tomorrow night anyway after the conference and I'll have a browse round the shops on Sunday morning before catching the train home.....see what I can find!!

marion not just me!!

me and the champagne gang!

now that is a scary thought, need MB with her words of wisdom !!!!!

You mean [gulp] everybody [gulp, gulp ]. Nae pressure there then.

MB please be gentle, I'll never ever ever be cheeky again I really winna.............she says going down on her knees begging!!!
