Morning all

Oh MIttz, have a massive hug, just be kind to yourself. Nowt wrong with a good cry, better out than in.

MrsW, am crap at badminton, but enthusiastically crap Am crap at most sports actually, my old PE teacher would have peed themselves laughing at me doing all this exercise. Mind you, I wasn't this size then.

Alice, please rest up. I think you have to just think that you are doing nothing now until your boy is born. Really, just rest up.

I watched Luther with DH last night so logged off, he was getting a bit left out at me on here so we had a cudde up. He didn't know I was swooning at Luther
Am all achey today, but in a nice way. Gym today. Trying to mix it up a bit for exercise, so I don't get bored.

I might be attached all day. I am bit needy.. were you hoping to be busy?

Nah, Mittz, am up for a snuggle today

Morning Double, you getting all excited now?

Morning all

Good morning Shiney people

Sorry I'm not catching up too well at the minute RL a little hetic but good, hope everyone's ok & the poorly people are starting to feel better?

Another 2lbs off this week woo-hoo so 8lb to go til goal, our holiday is on the 21st so if I lost 2lbs a week I could reach goal before the holiday - that's what I'm aiming for

Morning.

Bloody DS was thundering about at 6.15 this morning and then climbed in to DD's cot just to make sure the whole bloody house was up. Gah!

Mittz I hope you are OK, more squeeezes coming your way.

Norma well done on the loss.

Yank hope you managed to get some sleep.

Yay for 2lb Norma!

Yay for snuggling Lizzy & Mittz

Someone mention crumpet?

Morning! As per, DS is pulling at my arm as I try to catch-up.

Mittz, take it easy sweetheart.

Yank, hope you got some sleep.

Norma, YAY! You are doing so well!

DS slept all night, and didn't fall out of bed once! Hope it continues.

We're off out for a nice long dawdle at toddler pace shortly.

Hope everyone has a pleasant day.

I have eaten greek syle yoghurt with a tiny bit of honey - that's breakfast every day this week.

Soup for lunch, then I can save a few cals for the paella I'm cooking tonight.

Must blitz the shit pit today that is my house, and will shred later.

Have a good morning all.

Mitts am about on txt if you need.

I am on my second coffee already. Manged til 8am without coffee but was in need. Ds was up in night and has been up since five.

I have dishwasher running, laundry has made it to the bottom of the stairs, sorted school photo form, just need to find the cheque book which is somewhere safe, school fair sweetie cups done and ready to go.

But as i forgot to hit post before i did the school run this will probably hit some conversation in totally the wrong place. appologies if case. This was written at 8:15am

OOh SAF, did you? I signed up for that trial, hope I get some.

Mittz - if lizzy gets too busy, i am here Take care hun

well, 2 lbs on Not surprised, as all i have seemed to eat lately is bloomin sandwiches. Again, the nurse isnt worried, but i am gutted. I am really struggling without the pa to meal plan and shop accordingly - its been weeks since i have been to tesco

This month needs to be a good one But, she did tell me to take a few days off around the 12th

Have blitzed the kitchen, done the washing up, mopped the floors and sorted some washing.

Just having a little break then I will tackle upstairs. I love that the Lord Food lets you count housework and childcare as exercise

According to my log, I will still have nearly 800 cals left for the day just because I've spent a couple of hours getting the house sorted and looking after DD!

Jet, I am sure you will get back to losing, if I don't meal plan then I just end up snacking.

Saf, you have had a streak of good luck lately haven't you?

Forgot to say, no problems with a lift tomorrow, but I have a terrible sense of direction, so you had better know where you are going.

Afternoon, tis me Mouseface.

Thank you for all of your lovely cmments on DS yesterday. He's now got DHs cough and is barking like mad. Will the docs give him anything?

Wasting - yay on the big boy bed, well done DS! One night down, hundreds to go!!

Tickling is fun!!

Norma - well done on the 2lb.

Bitter - use those calories!!! Or pass them to me.

Am off to have intensive physio in a while. Not looking forward to it as I'll be on 'bed rest' for the remainder of the day. Yeah, right! Like that's gonna happen!! They need to manipulate my hips so are starting today. Damn you SPD! I'm dosing up on the painkillers as I type.

Jet - Don't beat yourself up, you'll get back on track.

SAF - 7 signs is lush. I love it. Bit pricey so tends to be a treat and used sparingly!!

Ouch mouseface. Take it as easy as posible!

Bitter, i too have been have a mad blitz but as my to do list is horrific i am not going to even try to log with the lord, or even write it down. I am, however, going to wash the mud off my arms which i seemed to have missed and go make coffee cake. plus hit more to do stuff.

Its amazing what i get done when i drink coffee. Especially as ds isnt sleeping so it doesnt matter if i'm not

mouse - what a lot you have to deal with...but agree with all that DS is gorgeously scrumptious and you are very pretty!

Bella - that drummer sounds like a twat of the highest order.

Gigi - fingers and toes crossed.

Alice - get thee to bed PLEASE. I had such a bizzare book bought for me when I was on bed rest (didn't bother to offer it to you as it's a bit boring)...but the thing that stuck in my mind was that she couldn't even kiss her DH without bringing on contractions!!

Jet good to have you back and hoping the glasses are lovely. I think you must have got those 2 lbs from me as I just lost them in the last day or so thanks to Lizzy's bootcamp.

Mitts

I'm generally grumpy and achey (AF and backache)...and had to do jabs for DD today so she was not happy. DH has found a new diet book that he's just ordered....it suggests he could lose 8 lbs in 2 days!!! (hes not very overweight even)...I will report back when it arrives.

Thank you ULAQ, I will try, even if I can just sit and play with DS for a while .

hells thank you. AF here too. Weird, alot of shiney people seem to be having a visit at the mo?

I may have to get a coffee inside me to tackle the bloomin painting later and yes, it has to be done.

I can't trust DH with any form of splashy liquid - no rude comments please, controls yourselves - so I have to do the painting.

Guests this weekend so have to hide the stains that look like blood damp patches.

Afternoon

Boring day thus far. Work is blah blah.

Jet, worry not, you'll get back on track, you now you can do it.

Hells, yay for 2lbs off.

Mouse, poor DS, hope he is OK

ULAQ, hope you get your to do list done.

Am finishing up soonish and heading to the gym pre-school pic up(DS1 has football after school so will have a good hour or so). Can feel that my shoulders are more toned and stomach feels a bit flatter and less wobbly. So am all motivated to keep at it.

thanks for your kind words guys I am determined to have a good month - have just shredded for the first time Am shattered - lord alone knows what it will be like when i swap my tins of beans for proper weights

well done norma and hells on the loss And lizzy - good to hear you are still really motivated!

Salad for lunch, am doing low fat lamb kebabs for tea

can't be trusted on mn at moment, not got right sense of humour for it.

Already had huge row with dp today.

Will retire till tonight. Have also got stomach bug I think. D&V without the V and actually without the D but it just feels like it all the time. tmi

Hope you are all well, will catch up tonight or tomorrow am, when I am poo and mood free
