• Breianne posted an update in the group C'mon the Welsh - A Welcoming Group to keep you warm in the Trim Down Hillsides!!

    Hi there,

    I hope everyone is feeling fine and well as can be. Its one of those mornings that the UK is experiencing the bertha tail end of rain, wind, storms etc…..I got soaked seeing to clearing up the garden this morning – after my dogs visited…..! soaked hair and clothes (no..did not take a brolly (umbrella) as the rain tipped down within seconds of my shuffling out to the garden (my ankles hurt pretty badly) with the doggie bag and tissues.

    Not daunted (though soaked)…..a nice warm towel and dry – change of clothes and a sit down to my breakfast……fully enjoyed and a great start to the day.

    Positive weight loss – though little – but in life there is the saying – little and often.

    To do’s today…answer the fourms and meet new people and talk to our group members too. I hope you are all seeing positive results – why not share them on the forum. If not positive, c’mon don’t be shy or think anything of you less – we are all human – spill it out – we are here to help and motivate success or not.

    Let me know how you all are, what are you up to or have planned, how things in life are or you want them to be – in fact anything you want to chat about or even moan or let off steam about – bring it on!

    If I don’t know about a subject – for example……brain surgery (ha ha!) then I am beat!….but if you do…please enlighten me.

    From diets, pets, activity, health issues, house/home ideas, décor, diy, gardening, day trips, holidays, romance, cooking, new hobbies or old hobbies, clothing fashion, cars, music, dining out, cinema, theatre, tv, films, games…..etc….anything.

    Best wishes

    Love Breianne x

    BIG HUG to you all

      Hi Breianne , nice to hear from you again! I posted on Successful Beginnings& Support all about my cast being taken off, no need for purple nail polish any more! So I won’t repeat my news. Hasn’t the weather been awful? Last night I kept looking outside and making Peter go out and rescue any fallen plant pots etc! And it is still very windy today but at least the sun is shining. Trying to get to M&S this week for last minute bits and pieces, have been ordering from Boots and their next day delivery is pretty good. I hate waiting in all day for deliveries. Weight is still going down,slowly, but at least it stays down which is a huge relief if I have strayed from the menu planner a little! I tried to do a little exercise yesterday and managed not to fall over! I cannot go for a walk but take little strolls around the house and , whenever possible, go into the garden. When my foot starts to ache I know I need to stop! If I don’t hear from you again this week keep following the plan, I will be thinking of you as I sit on my balcony sipping chilled water and eating lettuce leaves!!! NOT! Brenda x

      Hi Brenda,

      Great to hear from you and I hope your foot is much better and more so because of the plaster cast being off. I’m wondering if you are painting your toe nails any further colours..!

      I’m dreading the weather conditions when autumn passes as if its anything like we have experienced here in the UK for months on end (from late 2013 to May 2014) god help us. Bertha (from the Caribbean is still wreaking havoc on the UK in many areas) will be here until Friday. I can only imagine the havoc wreaked by bertha in the Caribbean. I hope there wont be any further casualties – my heart goes out to those who have and are suffering still.

      What a shock about Robin Williams – actor and comedian. I adored this man as an entertainer and personality and watched the majority of his films. Such a down to earth man, no grandeur about him and a peoples person…made himself available to his fans and not stand offish or think himself something special and unapproachable.

      Sad to say this world is full of celebrities who seem and appear to be the pure entertainment of the general public. Where are the days that people had or have their own lives and not be fixated upon celebs?

      Peter seems to have been getting his fair share of exercise or more so since you have been in plaster – rescuing those pots is no easy thing for me….some rolled under my plants (so belly on the floor – plastic wrapping down first mind you!) and others trapped in and behind other areas of the gardens back and front. I came across loads of slugs…….aaaargggghhhhh!……..and became a murderess a few minutes later armed with my lethal weapon of ……………………………….SALT.

      I do fight with my conscience mind you!……the snails I tend to sweep onto my dustpan (outdoor one) and then sling – pray and hope they don’t smash their shells when landing as I remove them to another grass outdoor area. I know that some may say these critters find their way back to your garden so apart from being a murderess I am a slinger!!!

      I order quite a bit from the internet – trouble is the stores are being hit badly because of the internet and finding people in store losing work and jobs. Its a sad fact but as you know and I know and countless others know the internet provides good to excellent savings.

      It still pays to shop around so I do comparisons and am a big ebayer (nope not a fat ebayer but a hands on professional ebayer)….I am a fat person though using ebay!……work that one out and your mind would be frazzled!!!

      Great to hear about your weight going down – well done….brilliant. Me…pretty slow – but then I am unable to exercise as I use to but I do walk each and every day and busy with house decorating and diy (when I feel I can and want to).

      I will think of you when you are on your balcony sipping your chilled water and eating lettuce leaves – I would certainly share such with you – YES!!!!………..I use to dip lettuce leaves in water and had a passion of those (but then I was pregnant)!

      I’d like to share a bottle of chilled water (pretend …sorry to say it…..its champagne) and a salad with you. I know you foot will ache for a while as it heals….it will.

      My Husband Brian says if I fall over, my bossoms will stop me from the fall. I would bounce (so he says) …….sort of compares me to dolly parton …bossom or bust wise……

      Mind you ….if I fell backwards, my backside would also help soften the fall……big up front and big behind…..pity my bank balance wasn’t the same..eh?

      Have a great day…please don’t overdo the exercise on your foot ..its best to walk before you can run.

      Much love…xxxxxxx
