    Thanks Lana! Water walking was actually quite good fun so I think we’ll do it again at least until the end of the month anyway. Pool goes off for winter then. Too expensive to heat through the winter.

    Missy your dogs are absolutely gorgeous!

    I celebrated 15lbs off today by having my nails done in a lovely shimmering purple glitter varnish. Thought it might be too much but I’m loving it! Good to have a non food treat.

    Anyway today has been full of exercise so much so that even though it’s only 21.50 here I’m already heading to bed. And on a Friday night too 😂

    Happy weekends everyone 😊

    Thank you 😊

    Good evening,

    MalyndaDawn - no we are not it was just when we started this board that we were trying to make sure people from the WW board could find us. We are free thinkers here. Welcome!!

    Missy love the pictures.

    4 more exciting work days until I get a 6 total day vacation. Someone asked me where I was going? You know me, I answered, I am going to clean house. And I can get in my car and drive somewhere - have no idea yet....

    Whoa hoo!! Friday night at the cabana club, double the calories burned while dancing.

    Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.

    Sara I’m decidedly envious of your being able to get in the car and drive somewhere. Here in the UK the BBC have caused a fuel shortage! They reported that garages were struggling to get deliveries of fuel. So all the idiots went out and bought fuel when they didn’t need to. The truth was that one fuel company had a temporary shortage of drivers so might close a few garages! It’s been chaos here for over a week now. Most garages have only petrol or diesel or nothing at all. There’s no shortage of fuel provided people buy as they usually would! So frustrating. I’m down to a quarter of a tank now too!

    Anyway it’s Saturday so have a good day all 😊

    Good afternoon,

    Did well getting steps in and 5k on a Saturday is within reach - getting creative. Potato chips are cutting into that health advantage this weekend.

    We had a bizzare shortage of TP (toilet paper) when COVID first started. Even worse hoarding... people are amazing and sometimes a little stupid.

    Between episodes of Vera on Acorn TV and will put the kettle on for a nice strong cup of tea. I am knitting navy blue and making a right mess of it and so I decided the entire navy blue sections on the prayer shawl will just be wrong. What I get for using such a dark color.

    Wishing all a good day. Stay safe and sane out there.

    Happy Saturday all,

    Finally was able to mow the front yard. It’s on a hill so I have been nervous about doing it until my doctor cleared that. Mowing and raking 6 weeks worth of grass is a workout. Will have to do back yard now that is 4 times the size of the front and riddled with husky holes. I’ll be going slow and very careful. Got a lot of errands done today as well. HelloFresh came in so planning on cooking that all up tomorrow.

    @Tilliesmommy1 yeah that TP shortage was crazy then the hand sanitizer and wipes too. I hope that is over. But supply chain is still having issues. Hopefully that gets resolved in the near future.
    Whoops I missed the dance will have to do my own make up session lol. And hoping those 4 days fly by for you! Staycations are the best or at least my new favorite way to spend time off.

    @fatoldladyonamission urgh that not good. Talk about a miscommunication! I don’t think I could get to work without fuel! Hopefully it’s over quickly.

    Good afternoon,

    Today's quiche is swiss cheese / broccoli - I like cheddar but a LOT of salt, so they had swiss brand on special. Swiss is also good on my "plant based" burgers. Takes about an hour to make so that is this afternoon.

    Missy glad you didnt get "hit" with a husky hole - these are holes the dogs leave as proof of their amusement????

    It is a lot easier to go out walking with clear air, so I am off to get some steps in.

    Motto of today - more drinks less snacks - Chinese snacks got me today.

    Wishing all a good day. Stay safe and sane out there.

    Yes one of them was digging a very deep, narrower one I think in an attempt to have me trip and break my foot again- but they were unsuccessful I filled it back in before any tragedy struck again. They are sneaky.

    Good morning everybody 👋🏻

    I’ve gone back and read some of what I missed.

    Nikki - congratulations on your 15 pounds gone!
    That is some story about the run on the fuel. People. Ugh.

    Sara - How wonderful to be having a vacation! Good for you!

    Missy - I didn’t realize that huskies can be sneaky! ☺️

    Lynn How are you doing? The Cabana Boys can’t find you!

    Tracy - stop in when you have a chance 🤗

  • Hi ladies!

    Apologies I missed yesterday I had a crazy busy work day. Missy we too had the TP crisis here. People literally bought months worth and caused chaos. Made me laugh in some ways that toilet roll appeared to be the one essential nobody could live without!

    I think our fuel shortage is easing slightly, I needed fuel last night and did actually manage to fill up at the first garage I came to without a queue so that’s me sorted for another 10 days or so.

    Right I better crack on with some work. Happy Tuesday everyone.

    It was so crazy and the TikTok’s videos and memes of what some people built with their TP. Lol I’ll have to go find one.

    That’s good news that you were able to fuel up! Nothing like the anxiety of looking at an almost empty tank and you got places to go and people to see.

    TUESDAY the 5th!

    Good morning ladies!

    Regarding the TP, there was a factor that didn't get a lot of press. A large segment of the population goes to work at places that have rest rooms with the industrial-sized TP rolls. Suddenly most of these people are at home, so the usage of the home-sized rolls doubles. People start hoarding, emptying the shelves. The factories that make the industrial rolls take a while to change their machinery over to home-size rolls, if they do that at all.

    There is an app named Gas Buddy that I used during the recent East Coast pipeline hack situation. The app tells you which stations have gasoline & diesel and what the pricing is. I wonder if this would work for you Nikki, and if not, maybe there's a similar app for you.

    I've got an appraiser coming to look at the house today. This is for the divorce. I won't be moving anywhere, thank goodness. This will be the first person that has been in the house in a very long time. Weird.

    I enjoyed some really crappy food yesterday. The scale tracked it for me. 😉

    Good evening,

    Missy I liked the memes you posted, I just couldnt resist.

    One more piece of quiche left, tomorrow is looking busy as I will go drop off knitted items to church have an apt zoom one and will discuss my medicine, then I am going to work to get flu shot and with any luck have lunch with a coworker.

    Afternoon is up for grabs and it is quite likely to be ZZZZ time.

    Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.

    Good evening,

    Missy how many do these meals serve? And the meal came with everything food wise?

    Got flu shot and yes that shoulder hurts which is why I always ask that it not be the arm I write with.

    Two more days until weekend.....

    It came with basically everything but the salt and pepper and cooking oil. It’s 4 servings! It’s been fun cooking and I’m keeping the recipes for use later.

  • Hi ladies,

    Loving the TP memes, it was chaos wasn’t it? Must admit I didn’t even think about the impact of people working from home suddenly as both hubby and I have been working from home for years but it’s a very good point.

    Those enchiladas look amazing. We have Hello Fresh but honestly I’ve always thought those things were a bit of a gimmick so never really looked into them. How many calories in a serving? I’m trying to stick with my low calorie plan as it does seem to be working. Just under 4lbs gone this week which is fab!

    Crazy work week for me though, I work supporting ex service personnel in getting charitable grants and I’d usually only get a couple of new cases a week, this week I’ve had 12 so no real time to do anything! Hoping it’ll slow down soon, but I did manage to get the homeless chap housed so that’s made it worth it!

    Better get back to it! Happy Thursday all 😊
