Morning all

Dull, chilly and overcast here but dry underfoot. DH up and off to work at stupid early o'clock. Had intended to get up and go for a jog this morning but slept solidly from when I went to bed to when the alarm went off at 6.30am - think the sleepless night Friday night caught up with me.

DS1 had rugby match yesterday morning, they lost narrowly but an excellent game, but some really crunching tackles, one lad taken to hospital with either dislocated shoulder or broken collar bone.

DH was gone out sorting marquees from the caravan rallies until mid afternoon, so we had paella for dinner last night. Tonight we have smoked sausage pasta with creme fraiche. I did manage to get 2 doz cupcakes, 1 doz maids of honour and 1 doz coconut tarts made yesterday whilst he was out.

No doubt work will be heavy going again this week, think that is the way it's going to be - at least I still have a job.

Have put a load of washing on the line this morning.

Not much else to say really, keep safe and well everyone, hugs to those that need them.

Happy birthday to all who are celebrating and those whom I've missed I was busy yesterday so didn't get a chance to log on.Such a beautiful spring day that I went for a long walk in the country park with DD and her eldest dog.He like me isn't in the first flush of youth so we amble along at a reasonable pace.Her little dog is in season so she had to stay at home.DD is very good with her dogs even though she works full-time she walks them every day plus rides her exercise bike for 6 miles every night.She has dropped around 22lb since January 1st and I am so pleased for her.She is determined to get back to a healthy weight. Bearing in mind she has had five children out of six pregnacies over the course of 8 years I think she is doing brilliantly She says she wants it to come off slowly as hopefully her tummy won't have too much excess that way.I have been going along with her since the start of February and I too have lost 16lb without too much of a problem which is good for my joints if nothing else.Clothes are starting to get a bit on the baggy side so by the summer some new clothes will be needed in a smaller size.
Beautiful morning this morning, and the sky is looking particulrly blue over the River Medway at the moment from my study window .School run with the boys then some Uni work to do on my essay.I hope everyone has a good and <<hugs>> to those who are feeling down or poorly
Cheers chums

Morning All

Happy belated birthday Essex girl
Happy birthday flutterby

Had a bit of a frost here last night and it is still quite chilly, but the forecast looks like it is going to get warmer

Got quite a few seeds sewn yesterday and they are all in my utility room.

DH has a blood test today and then we have got to tax the car, we are then going to card factory to get his mum a mothers day card and birthday card (hopefully DH will get mine at the same time my birthday is the day before mothers day so I have been promised a pamper weekend )

Have given up on low carb per-sey and am back on WW. I haven't lost as much as I thought I would and since I have been eating normally I have lost 5lbs :huh: :doh:

Dinner tonight is chicken wrapped in bacon with broccolli and new potatoes in their jackets.

Have good days all x

Morning All,

A nice morning here too.

Hope things go ok for those anxious about their jobs and well done Gers on the promotion
Welcome Miecherox
Happy Birthday Flutterbyuk, hope you dress felt nice on your night out, also belated Birthday wishes for Essex Girl, sorry I missed it:bdaycake:

Dh at home today in the office so will be helping after a quick nip to the post office. Need to get all the Australia paperwork out and begin to get organised (we already have our permanent residents visa).
5 lb loss so far which I am pleased with, it's coming off slowly but surely:D Butterfly Brain you've got to do what suits you I know lots of people who swear by WW. The Low carbing is working for me at the moment, although its slow I think its something I can sustain and its made my IBS much better

Tea tonight will be meatballs and pasta with garlic bread for the boys

Have a good day everyone x

Morning my lovelies

Flutterby - Happy Birthday, have a fantastic day lovey

Essex Girl - I am so sorry I missed the fact that it was your birthday No idea how we missed it. Belated birthday wishes for you and I hope you had a lovely day

And just for Gers, well done on the job :T

Got out of the wrong side of the bed BIG time this morning DD was pushing my buttons with her awkward moaning behaviour (apple don't fall too far from the tree does it? :rotfl:) H was in a mood with me because of it so all in not a very good start to the day because of my lack of patience I've just made my mum cry with laughter bcause I was telling her about it and said "it's DD's fault she started it" :rotfl::rotfl:

Anyway one load of washing hung outside, sun is trying to shine so fingers crossed it dries. Just put another load in WM.
After pre school run I am going food shopping and I NEED to do some baking today.

Nowt else going on. Got aches and pains in one knee, one foot and pulled a muscle in my arm. Anyone got a spare working body I could have?

Have a great day OS or not. Hugs, spoons and high fives all round.

Sorry if I've missed anything else Got to go and get DS in his uniform.
