Moan off time!

by larsnxd @ 2008-05-05 – 22:45:11

Moan off's for this weekend:

1) I felt like I have done nothing this weekend...no...wait...I have done nothing this weekend. Apart from feel sorry for myself as I havent got a job. I have also eaten too much junk food (vegan of course!)
2) I ache all over. From playing on the new Wii Fitness thing. How terrible is that?
3) I am suffering from bad bad bad stomach pains as I have overdone the beer, fizzy drinks and shite junk food I have eaten.
4) I still have not sorted out my mam's birthday present...Oooopps!
5) I need to get up early tomorrow to sort out a temping job.
6) I have to go into work on Wednesday so they can discuss money and all the other redundancy crap.
7) Im skint already.
8) My sleeping pattern has been disrupted.
9) I HATE MOANING OFF!!

I saw K on saturday, we went on a shopping trip for quite a few hours. I brought some vegan shampoo which is gooorgeous, and K brought hair extensions. How boring are we?! At least I got to see her again. I've been missing B and K alot recently. I know things have to change in lives, otherwise it would get a tad mundane. Alot of stuff has changed in all our lives over the past few months. B has now gotten into a relationship and has progressed at work, K has gotten a new job which she adores. Me on the other hand, jeez I got made redundant...how lame is that?

You know you get to that point in your life when you just feel like everything that was safe and stable has just crashed and burned and you dont feel so secure anymore? I also feel like there's nothing to look forward to. I feel like that alot of the time at the moment. I feel very lonely right now.

I dont really know what to do with my life or myself. I wonder how things were meant to work out for me, I dont see a future for anything good right now.

Maybe i've just got cabin fever? I haven't worked for two weeks! Must be cabin fever

  Hi Linda,
  
  Pizza express pizza's, just without the cheese, here's a link which I found pretty useful: http://www.veganlondon.co.uk/eat/info/central/pizzaexpress.htm
  
  Also, if you go to their homepage: http://www.veganlondon.co.uk/eat/ It'll tell you all sorts of neat places to go.
  
  Pastas real difficult if eating out in a normal restaurant as you dont know if the pasta is egg pasta (nightmare!!)
  
  JD Wetherspoons list of vegan items:
  breakfast side orders----Baked Beans
  breakfast side orders----Tomato
  children's desserts----Banana
  children's desserts----Orange
  children's side orders----Baked beans
  curry club----2 Poppadums
  curry club----Bombay Potato
  curry club----Mango Chutney
  curry club----Onion Bhaji (x1)
  curry club----Vegetable Samosas
  curry club----Yellow Basmati Rice
  extras----Roast Potatoes
  extras----Sage & Onion Stuffing Balls (x2)
  jacket potatoes with dressed side salad----Baked Beans
  light bites and sharers----Bowl of Chips
  light bites and sharers----Leek & Potato without Bread & Butter
  light bites and sharers----Organic Tomato & Basil Soup without Bread
  light bites and sharers----Side Salad without Dressing
  pastas----Fusilli Pasta in a Tomato & Basil Sauce
  salads----Side Salad without Dressing - No Croutons
  side orders sauces and combos----Apple Sauce
  side orders sauces and combos----Battered Onion Rings (10)
  sunday club----Leek & Potato without Bread & Butter
  sunday club----Organic Tomato & Basil Soup without Bread
  
  As for snacks, I normally nip into holland and barretts for vegan smarties, fruit bars and vegan chocolate, or boots have a new range of healthy odds n sods and some are vegan. Licqurice (cant spell!) is vegan.
  
  Normally I steer clear of baked goods as you dont know what the hell they've put in them! You can bake your own muffins and cakes with some fab vegan receipies.
  
  I hope this helps...if not let me know and i'll do some proper research for you

    WOW YOU ARE FANTASTIC! helped...? yes you certinly have!
    
    i wondered about pizza and pasta because of the egg deal.... tho i have them in a sushi restaurant at one point and have no idea what she could eat.
    
    and that certainly was proper research. i had avoided what she ate in it by saying she cooked all her own stuff, and when the go to visit someones family there's a kaffufle made over what she eats and the granny tells her to go to a store and pick up stuff to make for herself as no1 will cook at the big family meal for her.
    
    and im guessing i cant have her eating a muffin from starbucks... awww dang it! (her friend goes on a quest in an airport to try and find her vegan friend some food and im not sure what she should come back with)
    
    really fantastic help.

      Wicked stuff!
      
      ...just gone onto the Costa Coffee website, Here's the vegan food: Cider vinegar potato chips, lightly sea salted potato chips, Fruit salad.
      
      Okies, Here's the Starbucks vegan food: Starbucks Summer Valencia Orange Cake (Wheat and Dairy free) another fruit salad, Falafel Panini (Never knew they did them in Starbucks!!) Houmous and Falafel wrap on Flatbread (Now i'm getting hungry!)
      
      Hehe, sounds like a v. conviencing script to be honest with you!! (I've been in the same prediciment hese past couple of weeks!)
      
      Tofu, lots of chopped veg and noodles = fab stirfry for the big family meal (super simple receipe)

        my tutor loved it but was worried as it was very precise... which i found weird, if im writing it to be real life then im gonna do research. like where places are and names and all that stuff that i thought all writers would do but apparently not according to him.
        
        the starbucks thing is a major help! cause thats where the person ends up whos looking for food for jennifer ended up, but i was about to change it when you said not to have baked goods now i know she can eat something from their. i didnt know if they did and have visited web sites of places.
        
        haha im sorry for making you peckish now.
        
        what was your predicament?

        My predicament was at my nan and grandad's 50th wedding anniversary. My mum was freaking out big time as she thought I was going to make a scene as there wasn't anything I could eat....but I made the chef make me something as I said I was lactose intolerant....heehee! x.

      I dont eat sushi to be honest with you, (well, I used to eat the meat sushi from Marks and Sparks when I wasn't veggie!) so I dont know exactly what dishes everyone really eats!
      
      I've found a few ideas though (which I might have to try out myself!) :
      
      Kappa Maki (Cucumber Sushi)-
      Cucumber, rice and nori sheets.
      
      Ya-Taki Sushi -
      Sweet potato, mushroom, soy sauce, mirin and sesame oil. Rice and roasted nori sheets.
      
      Vegetarian Soba Noodle Sushi -
      Noodles, Scallion (like spring onion I think), soy sauce, rice wine vineger, wasabi oil, pickled ginger, nori sheets, cucumber, red and yellow peppers, mushrooms and seaweed.
      
      Avonutty Sushi:
      Rice, Avocado, salted peanuts and sheets of nori.
      
      Yummy!

        oooh you are certainly a fountain of knowledge.....! and so quick too.
        
        i always think of sea food sushi but when i pick up the packs from marks n sparks i avoid prawns and thats it.

        I know what you mean! When you said sushi, I thought no way will there be anything that isn't meat...but then again, I was surprised with the starbucks! So, I think a huge thank you to you is in order! I get to go to Starbucks and Costa Coffee again and get to try out some new sushi receipes, so thank you
        
        Hehe, I wouldnt never cause a scene in a restaurant....I get too embarressed! Lol.

        awwww and i cant believe ive encouraged someone to eat at starbucks, lol,
        
        i always think the view is that anyone vegetarian or vegan is going to cause a fuss.
        
        (i went through being a vegetarian in my teenage years and everyones parents always were like 'ooooh here's little miss awkward, would you like a lettuce leaf?')
