Gross Dinner

Just had the most foul dinner in the history of the universe.

It was some kind of strange pasta that I bought from Hungary before I had my band done. It looks like mini clouds in the packet.. little nuggets of pasta, and looks like a load of creamy sick when cooked. I think its more like gnocchi that pasta actually.

With that I had a can of Pork goulash that I bought in Lidl. I guess that if you have to put a picture of a pigs head on it, there has to be some reason. This could have been any type of meat. If you had said it was steak I would have believed you, and if you had said it was chicken, I would have believed you. It could even have been whale blubber to be honest. It was RANK.

*goosebumps running down whole body*

I ate about 2 pieces of 'meat' and a couple of spoons of the pasta blobs. I put the bowl on the floor and the cats finished the rest off. That just goes to prove its basically only fit for animals.

I am really looking forward to tomorrow's weigh in. I hope I have done OK. I have been basically good this week. We have had a couple of takeaways, but as with everything its the quantity isn't it. I am definitely eating less that I was which is good.

I do feel a bit vacant about the whole banding thing at the moment. I don't know whether I should just eat, or go on a diet, or what really. Its kind of like living in limbo land... just waiting for something to happen - good or bad.

I feel like something big is about to happen... I don't know what, but life is just way too boring right now.

We have our American cousins coming to stay next Tuesday for the night. They are staying for a couple of weeks and seeing the sights, and we get to see them on Tuesday which will be cool. We last saw them 4 years ago, so we are really excited about that. They were so good to us showing us about all over San Diego and the desert and stuff. It will be good to be able to re pay the favour.

Anyway, going to go and get an early night now.

The trip to France by TB's husband...

Only take a closer look if you don't mind bad language. Its pretty rude. This was the cartoon made by TB's husband about our trip to France last weekend... Of course it's probably only funny if you know us.

Characters - Me, DH and DS, TB (a cameo role in scene 5) and her husband...

Oh I am a naughty beasty

As you all know, yesterday started off well cool. Except for the Yorkie. *clears throat and gets back to topic*. However it ended a little worse. DS was doing a reading in the evening, so it was all last minute panic stations and stress... cat fluff off of suit jacket, " You can do it! No tears now", "yes we will be on time" yada yada..

DH had a college run to do, and I was dashing about like the proverbial blue fly so I grabbed at a stary tenner and hit the chippy.

:o(

I had cod and chips. It was yummy.

*sighs*

This is becoming my confessional isn't it. I didn't want it to be like that... but it will hopefully help me later on by reading through it to see why I turn to crap food.

So yeah, not too happy about that, but hey, its a new day and all that jazz.

I just finished off two humongous plums. Lovely sweet flesh, but really horrible nasty bitter skins. What is it with fruit here in the UK shops?

I swear food everywhere else is much more delicious. Our food practically looks plastic. Its all the right colours, or you think it is, until you go to France or Germany and you see their fruit. Their fruit looks less bright, a bit odd sized and sometimes much more massive... Whole humongous heads of lettuce with mud on..., you think to yourself "Oh dear, here we go" and it tastes FANTASTIC... cucumber tastes like cucumber. Tomatoes taste like tomato.

I always bring back loads of fresh veg from France when we go. The garlic is something else.

Anyway, boring. Right. I have to go and try and instill some kind of education into my son. May the force be with me.

Update 13:30

Off to work in a mo. Just got ridof 4 pupils, so thats good. They mucked me around something wicked, so I just jacked them in. The can annoy someone else.

New family arrivals - 3 fish

Went to get some fish food and ended up spending £80. WTF?

DS wanted to get a new fish for his tank... we ended up not being able to decide so we got 3.

I also thought that the water could do with a bit of a blaat of oxygen, so I got one of those pump jobs that go bubble bubble bubble...

Then DS spied a little fake plant thing that was quite funky so we got that too, and then I noticed some oil for the garden furniature I had been meaning to buy all summer long.

Just never ends does it. So I came home feeling like I had been fleeced somehow when all I really wanted was some more fish food. These shops are so cleverly arranged that you can help but buy other stuff. I nearly bought a bird cage and little finch 'cos it was well cute. I slapped myself a good couple of times and woke up to the fact I have 5 cats and the poor little thing would be terrorized to death within the month.

*shudders*

Foodwise... pretty damn cool...

I have had several GOOD THINGS happen to me - yes I know its unusual, but it has to happen to me sometimes.

I discovered this AWESOME site called http://www.mysupermarket.co.uk/ where you do your shopping as normal and it shows you what it would have cost if you had shopped elsewhere... I chose Tesco, and it was just about the same as if I had shopped at Asda. Then the FUN began. At the end of the shopping it shows you that if you made a couple of swaps from other products you could save X amount of £'s AND CALORIES!! Yes, If I swapped my normal Kellogg's cornflakes to tesco's own cornflakes I save something like 49p. But if i swapped to tesco's Organic cornflakes I saved a further 11p and also 100 cals. HOW DAMN COOL IS THAT????

Seriously, check it out people. Well worth it.

Next cool thing to happen was a discovery I made c/o mysupermarket.co.uk. Because I swapped some kind of muller light for Danone Shape lasting satisfaction yoghurts I not only saved money and calories, but found that I could NOT eat my breakfast after I had eaten this yoghurt. It is seriously filling for us bandsters. I was TOTALLY SHOCKED that I could not eat my 2 boiled eggs that were boiling away on the stove.

However, I am well pleased that I have found some snack that is only 75 cals and Sooooo filling. Cool.

So breakfast today was a Yoghurt (Danone shape lasting satisfaction)

Lunch was 2 slices bread with beetroot and slice of cheese

snack - Yorkie bar ;o) Yeah I know, but I just couldn't resist.
