Oh and I'd prob leave DD with DH! My mum is a bit useless at the practical stuff...it's a wonder I survived! Wink

Blondeshavemorefun · 10/03/2011 17:50

Good old krbs - I knew what it meant :)

Nice that dh can look after dd, too many dads I know can't cope :(

We don't have to do London - I'm happy to travel opposite direction - it's whatever is easier for everyone

hello! I am here - had a manic week at work and its DS2's 3rd birthday tomorrow so been making (and eating Blush) cakes and organising presents and seeing school SENCOs about DS1 and trying to actually sleep!!

Have been fairly good - reckon a sts tomorrow if I'm lucky, maybe a 1lb on. But its impossible to diet with buttercream decorated cakes......

I'm up for a meet, let me know when and where. I'm Kent so fairly flexible.

Oh, and I'm a 34G. Even after losing over 2 stone. I have gone from a 38G to a 34G - so I win biggest bazookas prize?!!

Blondeshavemorefun · 10/03/2011 22:42

'drools at buttercream cakes and icing'

Happy ds2 birthday for tomorrow :)

I had a glass of wine with my Boss's before they went away - said no at first as WI tomorrow abut then had a teeny one

Hi Slinks, sts here. I have been preoccupied with new job and another new one coming up, but again will try next week for some loss

Bebe - I havent caught the news yet Sad

Smokn & blondes well done.

Right, we need to talk dates for meet up. Will come back later with a few suggetions.

Blondeshavemorefun · 11/03/2011 13:53

sts is good trimmer esp if had a bad week :) so be proud of yourself :)

RatherBeOnThePiste · 12/03/2011 10:28

Sorry. I was meant to weigh in yesterday but didn't think because of all the events unfolding in Japan.

Our family are fine although we had a couple of v fraught hours waiting to hear early yesterday morning. DH being DH and because of all the places he/we go to gets tsunami warnings to his phone so we knew about it very early then it was horrid waiting.
All the cell / land phones and Internet were down initially. But Central Tokyo has got off 'lightly' My lovely SIL had to get the boys from school and they initially couldn't leave school because they couldnt walk and because of falling stuff/ threat of falling stuff. I cant bear to think of them feeling so frightened, at 6 they are only babies really. They do practice earthquake drills but still I think very scary indeed. Tokyo itself is in a sheltered bay so protected from tsunami thank god. My SIL's family are from much further south away from it all so safe too. The pictures are horrific aren't they?

My DS's lovely american godfather was in Tokyo too on business and his wife didn't hear for nearly 24 hours. We've only recently heard via facebook.

Anyway. I failed on the weigh in front. But I am going to get back in the zone this coming week. I am running later.

Have a good day Slinks x

GettinTrimmer · 12/03/2011 10:37

Piste glad to hear they are ok, your stomachs must have been in knots.

Right 29 points for me today, I looked down at my stomach earlier on Sad

So far have had : scrambled egg on toast (5)
milk for tea and coffee (4)
Lunch will be tricky as promised ds we'd go out to spend pocket money he's saved up and having lunch out.

Dinner I will make myself a quorn chilli with rice.

RatherBeOnThePiste · 12/03/2011 10:57

Thank you GT. Yes it is another bloody good reason why they should come back and live in the UK!
