    Hello everyone:wave:

    I have no excuses for not coming back after DF went back to work....well,maybe just one. I was enjoying my life. Haven't been on the pc much in the last two weeks except to update my facebook profile so my stepmum keeps her yap shut:) (I have a hundred or so requests and notifications on there not looked at)

    I still have not had a cig since the 17th October, so friday makes it EXACTLY 4 weeks. Also in the last week it appears I've lost 1kg. I've also lost weight before then coz I went to Peacocks and bought some new clothes for winter in my usual size 20. They were too big so I went back and exchanged them for size 18-they were too big and eventually at 16 I got it right:j

    I've kept up my morning routine this whole time-ie actually eating breakfast everyday, and we've been to playgroup/playdates everyday. Supper has been cooked everyday when DF gets home and dishes done before bed:j

    The result is Im nearly done with the christmas cards (need to post them on Friday), most of the christmas shopping has been done-and the invites are out for the cookie swap party, and Ive started looking for my recipe for this year.

    I made my first ever batch of banana muffins and they are divine-DS had two (and you know what he's like with food), so I think they will become a regular stock item here now. I cant believe how easy they are to make.

    Oh, and the other day I got called a domestic Goddess:)

    OK this will get you ALL laughing

    I was panicking a bit (ok starting to panic a lot) about Christmas presents. Usually we are quite organised and have bought most things for all on our list by now. So this morning I decided I had better see what I have got so far. I usually update a spreadsheet on excel and keep a copy with me at all times but this year I haven't done one. So having raided all the places I stash things and having found pressies that should have been birthday presents earlier in the year :rotfl: I did an old fashioned pen and paper list. Then counted up all that I have bought (some from very early this year) and there were 79 things at least!!!!!

    So assigning things to various names I reckon there are only a couple of people on the list with nothing yet and a few stocking fillers to buy. Phew one happy AnW's Mum!

    I did this a few weeks ago and I not only have enough for Xmas this year but everyones birthday and Xmas next year lol

    Mmmm just done an order as well but whilst I was selecting the 3 for 2 disappeared, seems someone got wind of it and pulled the offers :( Checked out with what I had got eventually. But half expecting to get an email querying amount charged, if so I will reject the total order I think. Need to check the spam folder for the confirmation email.

    Just gone back to see what is happening and I reckon they have sorted it as everything is back on 342. Went from 20 pages to 0 to 3 and back to 20 all in 3 mins! Anyway it has tracked so far on Quidco so will see what happens

    • Fruit in fruit bowl
    • Stuff out for tomorrow
    • Think of something for tea tomorrow & put it in the slowcooker (tomato sauce base as thats already in there from tonight tea :rotfl::rotfl: )
    • Watch Hereos on BBC3 ;)
    Off I go, back soon.... :wave:
