Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah!
First rough draft is finally finished
Hurrah!
I now have enough stuff for a whole big book. I'm really chuffed.
Now I've got to start all over again and edit it into something readable. Oh the joy! But it will be much easier now - I just need to turn the bullet points and brief notes into chatty paras. It WILL get published in 2010!I am the leading lady in the movie of my life

Hi all
I'd be up for a fitness challenge too - managed to lose half my baby weight (he's 9 months now!). Ideally I'd like to lose another stone to put me in the 10st somethings! I'm also going to start running again - planning a 10k run this year in aid of SANDS.
Trying to avoid going to WeightWatchers again as I seem to get pregnant every time I go, putting all the weight back on (and more!) :rotfl:. Plus, I avoid diet/reduced calorie food like the plague...heaven only knows what they do to it....
Haven't managed to do a huge amount of the list today but have done my dailies...
