    Evening all - just having a break from tidying the kitchen, my life is really that exciting!

    Still not heating but it means Im not sitting still for too long so the housework is getting done for once - look on the bright side and all that!

    Have my weigh in the morning, dont think it is going to be a good one though unfortunately as had a meal out with OH and a buffet dinner in work this week - oops!

    Off to see DD as Mary in the Nativity tomorrow, cant wait just hoping I dsont embarrass her and cry! After that I am getting the tree and decorating it before the kids come home as I love seeing their faces when they come in.

    Hope everyone is ok and not stressing too much, I hate the week before Christmas because there is so much to do and I am working right up until Christmas Eve, next year I must be more organised (something I say every year!) x x

    Hi Penguin.

    Hope the weigh in goes ok, but we still have lives to live, did you enjoy the meals?

    Take lots of tissues and sniff behind your hand :D

    Thanks for the good luck wishes everyone - I lost 3lbs!! which is now a total of 2st 1lb - I was aiming for 2stone by christmas so I did it with 1 more weigh in left. Aiming to lose the 3rd stone by the end of Feb but lets wait and see what damage Christmas does first!

    DD Nativity was lovely and I was filling up before it even started - Im a complete wreck when it comes to the kids! OH managed to borrow another drivers Camcorder so we can keep a copy of it to embarrass her when she is older!

    Christmas tree is finally up and I am starting to feel Christmassy at last, just waiting for the kids to come home so I can see their faces - Dad picked DD up today to give us time to decorate and OH has just gone to get DS from Nursery.

    Hope everyone is well - be back later. x x x
