Hi all,
Sorry for the lack of updates Again, I had planned on doing one last week, only to get really ill, I have not even been on the forum much :-(
It all came on me fast last Tuesday morning, with me waking up freezing cold (that's so unusual for me, since I normally cant sleep with being too hot, even in the winter) along with the being cold I had really BAD pain in my stomach, so I thought it was probably because of the fish I had ate the night before. I lay there for a few minutes thinking what do I do, I have no bathroom and feel like I'm going to throw up. I managed to get down the stairs and find a bucket to use :-( and then made my way to my nans thinking the runs wont be far behind, and not having a loo will be really bad. Lucky the runs never happened, but I was sick a few more times, and ended up spending 2 nights in my mums, just so I was close to a loo if needed, as the day developed though, so did the aches and pains that come with flu. and I spent the day freezing cold in bed in my mums. the next day I woke up in a pool, thinking someone had wet the bed, I quickly realised it was sweat, and the aches where gone. I did have a head ache and gradually as the Wednesday went on I felt much better, but even now a week on, I feel ill when I eat, and still have the headache :-( but apart from that I'm ok again :-)
On Thursday night I finally got my new loo fitted (hoooorayyyy) only to find its too small for my mum (ho noooo) its been a nightmare, its the smallest loo in the world, I ended up on MSN getting forum members and my mum to go and measure there bowl, and yes mine is officially the smallest by far :-(
The Building inspector came out on Monday and has given the go ahead for the builders to rip it out, and install a new bigger one (phhew) just means no I have been 2 weeks without a loo I can use in the house. But there getting closer to finishing now, half the room is tiled, and the new sink is installed. the shower is being fitted tomorrow, and tiller back Thursday, hopefully then it will all be done on Friday, except for the new (2nd) loo to be fitted.
Fingers crossed I will be close to normal next week, and then I can get back on plan, this week I never ate for 2 days after being ill, and then binged for the next two one I stated :-( I am planning on throwing all the food in the house away, and starting a fresh, The food here now is mostly out of date, or been in the freezer that's been on and off for 4 weeks. and the kitchen is a bomb site so I have not cooked a single thing in the house for 4 weeks either :-(
here is some more pictures carrying on from the last update 2 weeks ago, and I will update again soon as I get the chance.
Mark xx..
SO this is where we where up to 2 weeks ago in my last update (I know this is not slimming related on first look, but it is really effecting my weight loss attempts)

One Week On we got to this stage With all the drains in place, and filled back in...

Then They laid a new level flooring, and fitted the Loo with new floor cover ...

then the spark was back in to fit the light, but left it hanging while the plaster plastered the walls and ceiling...

Then for the last few days the Tiller has been in putting tiles up, and fitting the new sink...

and this is the state of my kitchen...

although you cant really tell, the fridge should be over on the
right against the wall, and the draws should be under the worktop
on the right, the washing machine is also in the middle of the
kitchen, and all the clean dishes are covered in brick dust
:-(... ROLL ON NEXT WEEK, till my next update, bye
for now, please come give me some advice on the forum ;)
Mark. xx
