Good morning to the thread:)
It is a tad windy here today too:)
I am having guests for the weekend, good friends up for a couple of days from Brissie, so I shall enjoy that
Love our boat club here as they have wonderful meals and saves me cooking lol
I am off to see our sports shop as I am trying to find a machine to help me with fitness, I started a thread about it so if anyone can tell me any tips or ideas would be appreciated:)

> Good morning everyone

> JVH glad you only had a mild swine flu experience (tho it sounds horrible) - my mumma just turned 70 - she is very fit but does get awful chest infections with the flu. I had to call an ambulance on one occasion as she couldn't breathe - (I moved in for a week to take care of her) - as she was bedridden. It frightened me.
>
> Today is a bit sad as the nephew I lost would have turned 27 today - happy birthday sweetheart. All I can do is take some flowers to the cemetary and make sure his mum dad and grandparents are ok.
>
> My neice (5yrs) is spending the weekend with me. I have been downloading kids recipes as she loves to cook (aaaaaahhhhh!) - but I'm very excited she is coming.
>
> Hope everyone enjoys their Friday - it's windy, freezing and raining here!

Hi Dame i too have to lose weight.....and i have an appointment to go see a dietician or rather have to make an appointment as soon as im back up to scratch.

Ive had the thyroid etc etc checked and there are n o excuses so can type out the diet for you once i get it......possibly wont be for a couple of weeks till i get into see her:(


I have read on many sites that taking kelp tablets does help.......and im thinking that would have iodine in them

Hi everyone and just a short note to let you all know that i popped in to see Mother for a few moments earlier today......the OH was with me also........she of course is super frail and just the time we have nnot been able to visit her have seen a big change........i have no idea if she knew if we were there or not:( The OH then took me out for a quick lunch to take my mind off everything:)

Hugs for you Jen, my heart hurts for you re your Mum♥

> Hugs for you Jen, my heart hurts for you re your Mum♥

And hugs back thanks for understanding:)

Hi Jvh,glad you got to see mum,i'm sorry she's so frail,i'm sure somewhere deep inside she knew you were there.

i've been waiting for the glaizer to come,miss 3 god bless her cotton socks decide what fun it is to hit the bedroom window with a platic hammer.He thinks it will cost about $150.00 to fix and it's not worth claiming on insurance as i have $100 excess.Let's hope it's cheaper.

Hi Dame have a good weekend with your friends.How did you go at the sports store were they any help?

Hi miss hope you have a fun weekend with your niece my little one loves to help in the kitchen as well.

Hi and waves to everyone:-x

Hi Libby:)
Well I have decided to get one, as I am trying to lose weight but also have circulation problems and I realise exercise is the best but with all my foot problems I canna seem to do what I used to, anyway will be fun wobbling around on it, I did ask the guy about weights as someone on the thread I started suggested but he thought this machine was better as I dont actually want muscles:) It helps apparently with heaps of things so one can hope, heaps of literature so I shall study it and maybe I will be trim taut and terrific in a few months:)

Hi everyone!

JVH I'm sorry your mum was frail - a real tug at the heart! Nice of your OH to take you to lunch to distract you for a bit. Wish I could say something to make you feel better - hugs to you and keep on the road to good health!

Dame - good luck with the getting fit regime! I did read your post on cs and left a note for you. I use wii fit and find it wonderful for yoga/muscle exercises etc. Also very good for balance which I didn't realize was so very important.

Hey libby sorry about your window at least your little one wasn't hurt! I have already bought the cooking ingredients for my neice - (lots of sugar involved unfortunately means we will both be hyper) -

Still got fingers crossed for nef!! Hope all ok with you nef!

Wishes everyone on here a great weekend!
