    Morning All.

    Well it has snowed a little overnight but DH has gone to work.

    DS has school today :j and DD has playschool :j.

    Hope to get some done. Will be doing the living room today as it NEEDS doing and so much easier to do when DS and DD are no here.

    Morning all

    Not sure why I rushed up when the alarm went off this morning, had a bath last night so was never gonna take me long to get myself sorted...that was BEFORE I saw the snow! Got dressed then wrapped myself in my thick dressing gown to come and check what the trains are doing...mine is showing ok so far but the one 8 mins before is cancalled, so I'm gonna go a bit later (boss is away ;)) as it will be rammed (well, more rammed than usual!). Nice short day for me then as I'm leaving at 3.15 for an appointment!

    So I might do the bathroom once DH has gone instead.
    Haven't managed to catch up on the thread yet but I'm in for any weight loss challenge - I wondered about starting one myself and am sticking to weight watchers points but without the cost!

    Jill i'd be up for a weight loss challenge i put on 5 lbs over xmas:eek: ( on top of what i already have to lose ).

    My clothes have been getting much tighter over the past few months - and I didn't have any scales as the ones I had were broken. I bought some the other day. I am back to the weight I was in Jan 2006 - and I had managed to lose nearly 2 stone, so back to square one :rolleyes::mad::eek:

  • Well I'm up and dressed, but can't say that either DH or I slept last night, or the last three nights if honest. He's now left for work and I feel awful - a real sense of gloom.

    But shakes self - can't get too down as DS not back to school until tomorrow and don't want him to pick up on things. We've had a sprinkling of snow and he's happily playing outside making a baby snowman.

    Feel a mad cleaning frenzy this morning, and have another small person to mind this afternoon which will help. But its going to be a looonnngggg day until I hear if things are to stay as they are or whether we have a big problem.

    Will pop on and off I think for company if no-one minds.

    Moam
    Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.

    I'm not in much today as I thought I'd spend the first official day of my maternity leave doing something useful! So I'm doing a Food & Hygiene course in the village hall from 9.30 - 4.30 today! I promise to finish the bathroom when I get home though! Also going via the recycling centre with my cartons on the way there so that'll be a few bits moved out the way!

    See you all later!

  • Can someone tell me how to resize images?????

    Depends on what you use to post them with? I use www.flickr.com and that lets you decide what size you want to post.
