    welcome rachebud

    SarahSh I do remember your message of congratulations :) I cant believe where the time has gone either. Kept wanting to buy lots of "baby's first christmas things" and then of course realised it would be her second LOL

    AnW's hope A ok (((hugs)))

    MumofFour that could be my DD in the HSM outfit, we have the pompoms etc too (and the legwarmers, hairclips, handbag .etc .......) My DD1 is 4, DS 5 1.2, DD2 16 months, How old are yours. Sorry if I missed you posting their ages before.

    pigpen - slacker. Spose tomorrow will have to do, sigh. :p
    Love the mules by the way. DD1 has a very similar pair from the Disney Shop ;) though admittedly they do have a picture of Sleeping Beauty on the front ...... (god I really struggled to spell Beauty there . Getting old .......)

    Its that time of year again.
    If you are in let me know.

    Notes:
    1. Weigh in day will be Thursday night as that will be my WW day.
    If you weigh in before thats fine but I won't post an updated list til Thursday.
    2. I'll maintain a list of losses to date and post on weigh in day.
    3. I'll post it wherever the thread is up to, but will also attempt to have a summary near the start of each week's thread and I will edit that on a Thursday too, should make it easier to find.
    4. You might have to PM me your details in case I miss your posts.
    5. First weigh in to report losses will be Thurs 15th.
    6.If you've asked to be added and I've forgotten (see list below), PM me.
    7. Just tell me each week
    • your weigh in date (last time I kept counting people's twice by mistake)
    • how much you've lost this week
    • total loss to date this year.
    Only total loss from start of this challenge not total loss if you are already losing, otherwise the rest of us look bad !!!!

    I'm in, unfortunately we were both sick from about the 21st so except for the mornings when we were feeling less than poorly and could do a quick tidy, it's a bit of a mess.
    It's not easy having a good time. Even smiling makes my face ache.

    So mumoffour age gaps of 3 then 2 then 2 is that about right ? Nice to see someone else who has survived! I feel like I am living in a madhouse./ I dropped round a friends on New Years Day to say thanks (theyd had us the nigh before). It was their tea time and it was so calm. They have a 5 yo and a 1yo so like me but without the middle one. Our mealtimes are just never like that. Someone is always shouting or giving off.

    I seem to always be telling the older two to sit still/stop fidgeting/stop kicking me (or each other)/ use their cutlery not their fingers/to be careful with their drinks/eat up/stop playing with their food/stop waving their food around/lean over their plates so it doesnt all spill on the floor/etc etc
    How can I calm it all down a bit without it being a complete chimps tea party ????

    Just tell me each week how much you've lost and total loss to date this year. Only total loss from start of this challenge not total loss if you are already losijng otherwise the rest of us look bad !!!1!

    Anything for a giggle.. count me in.. I am REALLY bad at this.. cos I eat junk food and usually just don't eat at all... it is possible to survive on satsumas!!

    *Though.. as I am so bad.. will people REMIND me to eat and REMIND me NOT to eat junk.. MAKE me buy fruit and eat it.. I can eat satsumas, clementines, mandarins and oranges... I cannot eat.. anything red, apples, bananas, kiwis, lemons, limes or melon.. they ALL make me ill.. and I don't like the texture of pears.*

    Jill.. my lot are 17, 14, 13, 11, 10, 8, 6 and 4 ... 18 month -2y 8 month gaps.. it gets easier!!! Usually when the littlest is about 2/2.5.. see.. not long!!
