Moi moi steamed spinach chicken and green tea.

Kimoni:
I went to the city centre yesterday strictly to get my baby's milk at Aldi cuz I saw it cheaper by just a small diffference from Asda who would usually bring it home for me o

I left in the morning only to return in the evening with different bags full of junks and I couldn't believe myself when I got home.

How did 2 tins of milk change to different bags full of crackers, pistachios and other orisirisi rubbish

Ijebu

Me these days I try to stick to lists and taking out cash instead of cards. So if I write list milk,bread,veg /fruit I think £20 is more than enough for that any extra the £20 cannot cover is definitely Ayaba

I like Aldi their fruit and veg are really good/cheap but it's just too out of my way.

Kimoni:


Should I say all men are wired this way. No time for dilly-dallying

I guess so.

I am not much of a walking around shopper but I am an expert in looking for deals online .

tearoses:
I think men are more "money free" and us more tight
My hubby also insists on going to the shop to guy genuine products
As for me . . . Ebay
The kids laugh at me and call me mummy Ebay
Of course the original products dont last either. . .thats why one has to buy replacements in the first instance
but now that I heard about what caused that fire, I am more wary of these things.

Yes o my hubby calls me 'madam tight' or 'bargain hunter' if I say it's cheaper elsewhere he will say no he will rather get it from the actual store or approved retailer. Na him get money o


If he goes shopping he can never ever buy tesco own brand products of ANYTHING me I wanna buy own brand product die some certain things like kitchen towel like its a kitchen towel what's my business with brand name when I am chucking in the bin. Toilet roll is a bit different but kitchen towel is to mop up things.I draw the line at some food though but I buy tesco own brand vegetables. What's my business with birds eye?

If he wants to buy something he just goes to a shop me I 'browse' round . Still saved him £27 this week. He bought some timberland boots at JD sports for my daughter at £60 and I saw the exact same thing on timberland website on Sale for £33. I quickly asked him to return the £60 one and ordered the £33 one.

Na him sef dey buy timberland boots me I will buy any boots that is nice and will keep her legs warm on SALE.

I tell him you say I shop a lot but your one shopping cancels like 5 of mine.

tearoses:
Thats a big price difference
I dont think that its an original product
And this is what annoys me
do these things really cost £30 to produce?
This is why so many people buy off Ebay
Im the same too
I can get an iphone charger on Ebay for £1.99

I have a friend who hates Apple for that reason. My husband prefers buying it from the Apple shop but I won't lie me too I have bought those eBay/Amazon chargers.

And it's not even like the £30 ones even last I had to buy a new iPad charger in less than 6 months.

@ damiso & kimoni

Ati e po ta wa anaemic.

Mehn I hate them iron tablets I swear. I find it difficult to swallow

Damiso,ndo ooo....na stress dey trigger my own.

Those iron tablets are disgusting.

Okra and rolled whole grain oatl swallow.

Goat meat edwife see I listened to you :


Not had swallow in a while.

Thank you all for your get well wishes yesterday

Very nice list.

I follow 3 9jafoodie,tatashey and Dooneys kitchen;love Dooneys kitchen a lot though her stories and the fact that she looks for shorter prep methods for naija food prep that can be long)will checkout the other 2.

Kimoni:


Walahi Coogar, you beat me to it

I honestly wanted to tell Damiso that we are seriously not convinced. Whether she likes it or not, she retains that award

Both of you are not serious.

edwife:
Damiso you need to slow down on the exercises,normally 3 times a week for less than an hour is perfect.

You can go for liver or lean meat(steak),you don't just cut out so many things at the same time.Living a healthy life is to keep us healthy and not make us sick.

Thank you and Will do edwife.

Yuk I hate liver will try to reintroduce lean red meat again into my diet.

But I wanted to ask my GP but Make e no be like I dey argue, what of vegans and vegeterians?

I eat a very wide range of vegetables and have at least two helpings of various green veg everyday. I guess that's what Vegeterians do as well having lots of pulses and lentils how do they then cope with their iron levels? I have been researching though and eating lots of Raw green vegetables has been linked to thyroid issues. I know one of the blood tests was to check the thyroid gland.

PRISTINEMUSCLES:
My little piece of advise for you.
Make exercising and keeping fit your lifestyle. Develop a natural like for it. U don't need to give yourself a target, if you do, you end up crashing your body. Maintaining a healthy, fit and well-toned body is a life-long process and not a year target or goal. Eat well(balanced-diet) and rest well.
Wishing a speedy recovery.

Thank you

coogar:
until they start seeing him as a mumu and they go out there to start shagging the man that treats them like debris.



so you know bible verse like this and yet you are telling us about throwing iron here and there.
damiso, mind yourself o. don't let us down here....you shall be getting a call soon from the united nations.

I don vex ni and I was ironing my clothes thank God no one was hurt sha but that girl's mouth when we were younger I can't believe we are now very close.

coogar:
i find it very hard to believe.
spin the tale anyhow you want. tell us you once beat up a bus conductor, we won't still believe you.
i have put your name forward to the united nations to help us solve the middle east crisis once and for all.
all hail queen damiso.......the minister of peace.

Na you know o coogar



Since its bible verses reigning now let me quote my own

'Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called the children of God'

But seriously I agree with Freecocoa learning to keep your emotions in check as well considering the feelings of others is a worthy trait to cultivate if one is prone to being temperamental.

Thank God and God bless you all for supporting this little boy and his family

Kimoni:

@destructive -

I get what you mean and I fully agree. Infact, I have two elders brothers like that. In our younger years, we feared the hot tempered one and thought the quiet one was an angel; but now that we are much older, we realize the former only barks but never bites, but the gentle brother, choi!! extremely quiet, unpredictable and very brutal when he strikes fortunately, they both now testify that their wives have them better persons. Hallelujah

@ freecocoa

Not proud of it. Only ever been in a physical altercation once in my life and people talked about that smack down for ages it was in sec school and the girl was always picking on me cos she thought I was quiet and easy going . The day I had enough ehn people kept looking at me strangely for weeks as they could not reconcile it to my normal behaviour.

I once threw an iron at my younger sister.

It was worse in my teenage years though and as I grow older in age and faith it happens less. I just try to communicate my feelings in other ways.

That's why when you guys say damiso is quiet I just go dey laugh

opella:
So sorry dear, you need a lot of rest, you should try and see if you can take green smoothie, please reduce your workout rate, same thing happened to me when I was over working out, so far as you are eating right and with little exercise you will still achieve you dream weight though it might take time.

Get well soon dear

Thank you dear

Yeah will make some green smoothies today.

Shininstar30:
Pls what's another name for kale

I am not sure o.its looks like one of our local veggies in Nigeria, as it retains less liquid than spinach.

EfemenaXY:
Sorry, Dami. Get well soon.

I think you're going to be put on Ferrous Sulphate (iron tablets).

Looks like I'm coming down with a cold too. The change in weather has been too soon.

Yes it has lil man was coughing all night.

Thank you and take care of yourself too. I hate those ferrous sulphate tablets but I have no other option.

Kimoni:
@bolded - You can say that again but I feel you though. They are not the best people to have around.

I no fit type much. But I find sometimes temperamental people may not necessarily be a horrible person. I know people that you will call temperamental as they can't hide theur anger. They are also impatient as won't make excuses for people .You offend them or your are being too slow they call you out straight and the next minute they have forgotten about it. It could be tedious or dramatic but with them what you see is what you get. Sometimes they are also very fiercely loyal. I agree though that they need to manage their emotions but sometimes being prone to anger does not make someone a bad person.


I don't get angry easily and I can give people a veeeeerrrrry long rope BUT once they hang themselves that's it. My mum would say I dey fear you o the way you can cut people off ehn.its not like I would hate the person or anything I just would not want to have anything to do with them anymore.and it would take alooooot to change my mind.my sister is like those people I described earlier but tend to forgive people more than I do. The only thing is everyone will know that this person deserves to be cut off as I would have given multiple chances. I just hate drama and dramatic people.

I also find that I don't get angry easily but my anger when I do can be destructive I could say really mean things(not abuse can't abuse to save my life) but hurtful things. My faith has really helped with that though and I try not to get angry to that level whereby I turn nasty. I don't like it and thankfully that side rarely(I hope never) comes out again.

Thank you Kimoni

Chillisauce:
It can be too much work workout and less intake of food.
Try and eat a bit more . Sleep and rest for 2 days straight.

I have stopped my workout marathon. I only lift weights and some push up like 4 times a week. It doesn't exceed more that 20mins.
Sometimes 10min sef .

Get well soon dear

Thank you dear. Will reduce my working out till I feel stronger.

TV01:
Hmmm...listen to your GP 0. But don't let up on bothering him if you don;t feel you are getting the right treatment. Was this a sudden thing or a steady detoriation - are you over-doing the exercise? Are you just stressed (too many chores ) or overdoing things?

I don't eat much red meat - occassional lamb and goat - wife doesn't like beef and wont touch pork. I can def recommend lamb and goat meat. Ask your butcher or read up about alternate options.


TV

I have always been slightly anaemic and have always been on ferrous sulphate( I hate them) and if i won't lie to myself I tend to 'forget' to take them. Hubby is always on my case to take them but I would rather just eat more green vegetables. Have been ok with but just noticed shortness of breath or dizziness sometimes when running.but yesterday I was unable to get up from cos I felt so lethargic and run down (which is odd cos exercising running especially normally makes me feel so energetic).Gp advised To maybe stop tedious exercising routines for now.

I cut red meat out gradually and from early on this year totally(though hubby and the kids still have it occasionally).



I like lamb.not a fan of beef so was not something I missed eating.

Thank you.

Chillisauce:
Thanks. It will pass. Did you get the sickness from the kids? That's their job. to transfer cold from school to their parents

Maybe o.dont have a cold Perse (stated sneezing today aha)but more a run down feeling. Just weak.

My doctors have said maybe blood is not absorbing enough iron.also told me reduce working out from 5 days a week for now . Did blood tests to see if there are thyroid issues as well.

Chillisauce:
Kpele dear. How did you steam yoyr vegetable. Did you add seasoning to it? Or just salt and pepper

Just salt. The yam porridge was quite peppery as na only me go chop am.

I am quite odd,I can only eat peppery food when am not feeling well.

cococandy:
Sorry dear.

Feel better.

Thank you dear

I don sleep today ehn my eyes are heavy

Steamed kale, yam pottage with lil oil and roast chicken.

No work . Not feeling great

Pikins at school and plenty time to go for a run but no strength

NashvilleTN:
