    Hope you have fun Honey Ec :D

    I'm so nervous I can't eat or drink anything. And all over something that isn't a big deal, might never happen and even if it does, won't for a few weeks yet. :o When did I get so sad!?

    Had to collect an academic reference today and it was so lovely it made me tear up reading it. <3 my lecturers. I also got loads of photos of swans and ducks in Stephen's Green today and also a video of a squirrel who ran across my path and stood shock still staring at my camera :pac: It was a really productive day too so hopefully I won't be too stressed for the next few weeks! :)

    3 doses of anti-histamines later and I can finally breath and have stopped the constant sneezing but now I feel like I am moving through molasses and the gerbil that powers my brain has totally fallen off his wheel.

    Curse you hay fever!

    So very tired today. Have started on medication to help but I think it's going to be a while before it works.

    If anyone wants me I'll be asleep on the keyboard....

    Is it bad how tempting that sounds?!

    I had the same dinner today that I had yesterday and in both cases after eating it, I have been crippled over with pain in my tummy.

    Can't be right can it?!
    What was the dinner?

    Gone for just over 24 hours and I have 3 pages to catch up on! :eek: Loungers, how are we?! :D
    Long time lurker in this thread: first time poster.

    I'm delighted because I just had a good hour-long chat with my cousin in Australia who I really love...and who I haven't seen in twenty years. She's coming to visit in June! :pac:

    Welcome! :D

    Well I came in at 8 this morning cause I need to leave early and the exchange server was down, so I spent the entire hour playing solitaire and getting paid for it.

    Know why I need to leave early? I'm meeting a man for a drink in town this evening. Yes, A MAN. A man who isn't the man I spent the last seven years with. I'm freaking the fcuk out, tbh. At least I have an excuse to leg it early, though, cause I'm meeting friends for dinner at 8. Gaaaahhhhhhh!!!

    Have fun! :D;)

    Sure, I made a low sugar version because my Mam has diabetes so you can subsitute it out if you need.

    500g Low Fat Soft Cheese(I used the tesco one instead of philideliphia)
    2/3 pack of the reduced sugar Digestives
    Strawberry Sugar Free Jelly Crystals(they come two sachets joined together,use one)
    200g low fat butter.

    Crush your digestives in a bowl, food processor makes light work of it,
    Melt the butter and add to biscuits and mix until evenly covered.

    Spread out even layer into your cake tin, I used quite a large one as you can see from picture. Let harden and cool in fridge.

    Add jelly to a jug and add 250 ml boiling water and let dissolve, make up to 400ml with cold water,ensuring everything is dissolved.

    Add the dissolved jelly and packets of cheese in a bowl and mix with a whisk until there's no lumps of cheese.
    But ontop on biscuit base, pop in fridge and let set!!

    Easy Peasy!

    That sounds so nice, I'm gonna try that next week.. My cooking spree isn't over yet!

    What was the dinner?

    Chicken Kiev, cheese, coleslaw and a bit of pasta from the salad counter in Dunnes and a tiny bit of egg mayonnaise.
    Had it last week too and it was fine.

    It hurts! :(

    Been accepted to the course I applied for.
    Looks like I'm going back to college in September so. Eeep. :o


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 180 ✭✭aristocat


    I guess I know from looking at posts that a lot of you here in the Ladies Lounge like baking, but does anyone get fed up making lunches and dinners? I am so fed up trying to think of things to feed the troops here. There is ALWAYS someone who doesn't like one particular part of the dinner. Its not that they complain, they just don't eat it and I just get so disheartened that all that effort and it goes to waste. Oh bring on the takeaways!!!!

    A lot of mayonnaise, butter and dairy? Maybe you are developing an intolerance? I know my daughter is lactose intolerant and her initial symptoms for a long time before diagnosis was being doubled over in pain. It got worse as time went on and eventually was diagnosed becuase she was B12 deficient which can go hand in hand with Lactose intolerance. Just a thought?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,605 ✭✭✭OakeyDokey


    Sister messed up my plans for the weekend ugh! Hoping mother dear will help me out and try salvage it!

    Think I might paint my nails to cheer myself up :)

    Hmm, I dunno.
    I had coleslaw and egg salad mix earlier in the day for lunch and there was no bother there.
    I eat yogurt and drink milk for breakfast and never feel any pain after it.

    Was the chicken definitely okay? I know it sounds like a stupid question but sometimes it's hard to know.

    Feel better soon :)

    Chicken seemed fine, it was cooked through I think! I could have hardly gotten in wrong two nights in a row!

    Thanks Emily

    I do need to cut back on mayonnaise-y products though!

    Is there a chance any off this was open to the air/under hot lights? It could have been sneezed on/turned slightly under the lights/been exposed to other germy airborne things and you're getting a weak dose of that??
    Feel better :)

    Anything is possible with those salad counters I suppose. I bought the pasta fresh yesterday for yesterday's dinner and bought more today for today's dinner.

    I'd hate to experience proper piercing pain. I'm such a hopeless patient...

    Bf is gone off to soccer despite the fact that he was nearly dying with some weird bug earlier. There's no talking to him sometimes. :rolleyes:

    It's amazing what football heals.

    If I got a call right now to play 5 a side, I'd be crawling out the door even in pain!

    He's the exact same. He could come back dying. He can't say I didn't warn him. :p

    OH MY GOD PEOPLE ARE SO ANNOYING! Sometimes I really wish I didn't give out so much identifiable info on here so I could go on a serious rant about friends/family and not worry about people knowing who I'm on about.

    That's why I'm conflicted about tLL nights out, I'm quite enjoying the anonymity. I do know one person on boards that I figured out by chance but they don't know I'm on here thank god.

    They are still posting pictures in YLYL so maybe lolcats are ok?

    Oh and Posy that's fantastic news, well done.

    Alternative solution: type it up, print it off. Staple it to their face. Makes you feel better and stops them annoying you in future. :cool:
