Wouldn't do much good right now as my bathroom is a building site and will be for a month or so.

I will come back when it is all done so I can get into the S&S routine and keep it shiny

FunkyGlassSlipper · 02/05/2008 07:14

Morning guys - well done dylsmum for finishing your essays.

And hello sms welcome back.

DH is away so of course DDs woke up at 6.30. All breakfasting as I type so plan to clear up in a bit and then have a shower.

FunkyGlassSlipper · 02/05/2008 07:17

dylsmum1998 · 02/05/2008 07:52

so looks like no mission today

but still plenty of other stuff to do

Morning all
I've got my first weightwatchers weigh in this morning so i've been hopping on my scales trying to work out which are my lightest clothes

They weigh you in shoes (do you think they're secret flyers?)
My converse low tops weigh a pound am considering flip flops but its a bit cold !

Off to round up the troops and sort the kitchen

hAVE A good day all !

Saga - Is this to see if you have lost any weight yet, or for a baseline for future weight loss? If the latter, wear heavy shoes, then you will lose a pound just by wearing flip flops later on

I need to do reglar routines, but I'm optomistic that I can do them today without posting the whole list, so I'm just going to write down the extras:

Friday
Clean fridge
Menu plan
Shopping list
Library
Errands
Move Sky/ Virgin/ dvd player

I will have to add to it later as I have mush for brains this morning.

FunkyGlassSlipper · 02/05/2008 08:13

I agree with Jas ref heavy shoes .

My plans may change today :(

TheMadHouse · 02/05/2008 09:05

Morning all

FGS I would go out to the shops, if she isnt OK then you can come back, being more upright in the buggy will be good for her nose and you will be happier.

jas I am baby stepping still - it really compounds everything

We had a bit of a pants night reallt, our guests arrived and we had a meal adn then they toddled off for the rest of the night, but DS1 wet the bed (he hasnt for ages) and got so upset, so he was in with us and he couldnt settle. Turns out he had a tummy ache.

Boys are playing in the garden whilst Breakfast is cooling and the:

Music and Movement
Back for lunch
DS1 to Preschool
Me and DS2 to meet EHM and Ellie
Back for tea
Out to Party - he he he

So I am sure they boys will have a fun night, but god will they be tired tomorrow

BiancaCastafiore · 02/05/2008 09:09

Morning

Dyls well done!

Saga I'd risk the flip-flops, anything to loose an extra pound or two.

I'm still stuck at 11st 9/10ish - I just can't seem to do much more. Still, it's miles better than I was this time last year (14st 4 )

SMS good to see you again

I'm being treated to a day out today...Dh is proposing we go shopping for some new jeans for me (poss need a size 12 as my 14s are getting loose). I'm just not confident about heading into the city centre though so we'll see...

Also need to do a food shop before tomorrow as I have siome friends coming for lunch (dh is out for the day at some Military vehicle club < a yawning face, lol!)

Back later

BiancaCastafiore · 02/05/2008 09:09

TMH have a great meet-up with EHM

dylsmum1998 · 02/05/2008 10:00

FGS what did you decide to do, if dd is a bit like that i see how she is after school run, if she is ok i keep going if not i head home.

saga go with flip flops- i would

bianca you have done great loosing that much weight in a year- well done!

TMH and EHM have a good meet up!

have just done a 15 min clear in the kitchen and finished it! just need to put dishes i washed away.
gonna go round all the other rooms doing 15 mins in each to see how much i can do.
my friend says asda are now delivering in our area, so going to see if i can get my shopping delivered- be one less thing to do at the weekend if it can be

Ludaloo · 02/05/2008 10:20

Morning ladies

dylsmum Fantastic...well done you, I bet it feels great now they are all done!

Bianca I'm stuck with my weight ATM too.
I am not sure if you missed my post the other day....but I'd be delighted to put your mum's name on my running ticket you'll have to facebook me or something with it

saga I'd just go in what ever you are comfortable in...my experience of weighing is that it varies hugely just due to time of day/certain days of the week/if its the time of the month
(I tend to take my weigh ins not too seriously. I can weigh myself in the morning and by the evening I can have put on 3/4lb! I have found that if I weigh myself on a Tuesday, I always weigh more than if I weigh myself on a Monday, seriously its bizarre and very irritating!)

Personally I would go more by inch loss/dress size than weight. I have found that far more encouraging than weighing myself.

Well DD2 has not been sick again since just before supper last night. Still kept her off nursery though, just incase.
I have to go and clean soon....am just trying to figure out how I'm going to get my hoover there, as I have no car today Might have to try and purch it on top of the pushchair some how!?
Hold that thought....it is now piddling down!
Hmmmmmm I have no idea how I'm going to do that now!
Oh the joys of car sharing

I have now distributed all 20 of my Avon books. I am going to have to do more than one drop I think, as I have only done one half of the village....and I haven't done the keep fit ladies or friends who live on the outskirts of the village yet either!
I am thinking I might have to do 3 drops maybe!! I wonder if you are allowed to do that many Either that or I will have buy more books...which I don't really want to do as it will cost more, and I'll just have to recycle a load more when the current brochures change.
I think I'll just have to stick to the faff of collecting them all in and giving them all back out to different people.
I suppose I shouldn't be grumbling about that should I!

Anyway...apologies for the large babbling post!

Catch you all later

dylsmum1998 · 02/05/2008 10:53

luda it does feel good yes, just the nerves waiting for results now- not too fussed on mark scores just as long as they pass!
i wouldnt buy any more books just yet, i'd wait and see how you manage with the ones you have. you may find you'll be ok with what you hav, no idea on how to get the hoover out tho!
have just completed my first online grocery shop- hope it goes ok, my friend does hers online all the time and raves about it so thought i'd try, so if it goes horrendously wrong i'll blame her am hoping to save time and money by doing it online they deliver of an evening when kids are in bed, so leavesme with daytime free of food shopping

dylsmum1998 · 02/05/2008 11:13

oh for god sake, just had a text from friend on my course, my cancelled lecture is now back on, tough cos i've kept dd home to play and canceled friend picking up ds cos it was cancelled the other day. so i'm not going will pop in to hand work. people should make their minds up!!

TheMadHouse · 02/05/2008 11:37

I need to vent - please bear with me

I had to leave music and movement early because the boys has a complete meltdown. I have never ever experianced anything like it. DS1 is tired today re the bed wetting, but even so....

He couldnt have the instrument he wanted so he took his brothers, I said no and it juist went from there. I ended up stood outside holding DS2 sreaming while DS1 sreamed blue murder, hit me and bit my tshirt

I have put him in my bed and DS2 is in the conservatory now reading a book.

I was so upset I was crying with the two of them and nobody even asked if we were OK

I hate them being upset, DS1 doesnt handle change very well at all and also doesnt handle lack of sleep very well. He still wants to go to preschool and TBH I think I need to venture out anyway.

Thanks for letting me get it out
