[collapses in naughty corner with Whoknows/gulps down Castlelough's bubbles]
Worst bit first: I am signing in today at 79 kilos which I am rather shocked but relieved about in the circs. Although it's just over the 78.8 I was at end of June, I've managed to lose 0.8 of a kilo this week even though I seemingly spent the week making home made cakes and pizza and scoffing them all, not tracking much on MFP, not trying to diet, and not exercising. Can't believe it!! Totally confused now actually 
. I spose a kilo here or there is too small an amount to make any great judgements about althoguh didn't really drink last week and was fairly busy (in terms of being on my feet).
[Boring inner dialogue alert]
Anyway, need to decide once and for all whether I am going to commit to this weight loss thing properly. Had huge wobbles during last fortnight. On the one hand, it's the holidays and I have a huge urge just to say "sod it, it's the holidays, I can't give a Nesbit" and on the other hand, I know from experience that losing weight in the summer is much easier in many ways than if I wait until September/October when the weather starts getting colder/darker and your body is getting ready to store fat for winter etc. Although it's more effort exercising/eating correctly with dd around, there is also an abundance of salads and veg available atm, I've got loads more time (in some ways) to cook and plan and I should be setting dd a good example with exercise anyway.
All I'd say to everyone is get prepared re: Body Clutter BEFORE the holidays start and don't be taken "unawares" like me! (Although I should have been prepared of course - no excuses)
Anyway, hope everyone is OK. Wedding was lovely yesterday- bride truly radiant in elegant, classical dress and DD thrilled with it all (her first wedding that she was old enough to remember.) Beautiful music too. That took up whole day really.
Not much Flying to report. Boudoir has descended in to chaos again post wedding flurry!! Want to try and finish it by end of week as it's my cleaner's last session on Friday before she goes away for a month or so. Must catch up on some laundry today too.
First though I need to sort out what is becoming increasinging tangle of holiday arrangements. It's always like this every year: we are late making plans or prevented from setting them in stone owing to dh and office and then everyone piles in and starts making our plans for us.
This is going to sound really selfish but so far we are expected to coordinate with one sister who is single and so is (understandably) always looking out for holiday companions, dd's godfather who (v kindly) wants us to travel to his home country and introduce us to his family, my lovely nephew who is sixteen and wants to come over here to practice his french, my cousin who I'm close to, and who is passing through on her way to a holiday in France (and her four dc want to practice their French too) my in-laws who we really must go and see, and my other sister in UK who is great, very understanding and really flexible but only has a small amount of time off.
We want to try and accommodate everyone but it's not really going to be possible given the limited amount of time that dh has off and the constraints of the office. Everyone is ringing me up looking for set answers saying "I need to book flights/holiday cottages as early as poss" and I know it's ridiculous but I feel like crying. I think it's because I would just love a bit of "free" time for just the three of us to be together away from the constraints of the office. Oh dear... I'm whinging again aren't I? 
And I feel guilty

Ooh but meant to say,
Swan you have done really brilliantly with the weight loss - well done you!!!!
lauren I was in your position last week regarding weight loss and haven't done much better this week either, so I know how demoralising it is to put it back on having put the effort in previously. I guess we both need to look at this as a marathon, not a sprint, and as long as weight is declining in long-term over-view then we will be OK!!
Castlelough ditto re Flying. I have massive spurts and retreats ... I'm not much good at consistency ... but we can only try again ....
