[QUOTE="Suzie Q, post: 890792, member: 14334"] I haven't starved myself Jilleroo. I cut out fruit juice at breakfast, cordial at tea and soft drink when we go out. I have changed all of that to rain water instead, which is okay as I quite like rain water. I don't drink tea or coffee so no sugar there to cut out. I still had ice cream at Mum's after Christmas lunch and after tea - mudcake and icecream. Just a difference in the size of the cake and the amount of ice cream. One scoop of icecream only and just a small piece of cake. If hubby gives me too much at tea time, I have some plastic covers with elastic. I just put it in the fridge and incorporate it in breakfast. Hubby has 2 breakfasts, cereal and then something else. I just miss the cereal and only have the second breakfast. I have tried to cut down on bread as well, so taking cruskits to lunch instead of bread some of the time. Hubby makes our lunch and gave me a chocolate biscuit, so I refused to eat it. That way I am not just refusing one chocolate biscuit, but a choclate biscuit every day. So he has changed to giving me some sultanas instead!!!! Yes I am looked after like a Princess. It was me going to work when we were first married and him making lunches that I put on weight. I didn't say no to the piece of chocolate cake or whatever was in the lunch, but I was driving to work and he was riding a bike to work and we were eating the same. So I am not making that mistake again. We have had that happen with the teats, Jilleroo. The calves survive until one only half survives and is named Midgie. Then without interference the calves will die. I have been told it is genetic and have culled both the mother and heifers. Midgie is the next one we will eat. WOW I hope your cow that you have saved survives and thrives and that the one with the broken shoulder mends and is well. That is a great looking firestack, Ken. We put in a combustion stove here when we moved, but we haven't used it for a couple of years now. We seem to have acclimatized and I have the most gorgeous big warm dressing gown and the house warms up during the day. We threw out the heifers to the bull yesterday. Spring babies, hopefully. Hubby serviced quite a few things and has given me a shopping list for work this morning!!! I had better run, I don't want to be late for work. [/QUOTE]
