  • Lovely pic mel - Kai looks so grown up!

    Benjamin and DSS are playing with B's Thomsa Aqua Mats and watching Fineas and Ferb and hubby is still in bed (give daddy a lie in and he returns the favour later in the day ;)) so I have a few minutes to spare.

    Apologies for this but I need some motivation. Today I MUST:

    Hoover downstairs, stairs and bedrooms
    Clean bathroom
    Wipe down utility room walls
    Wipe living room skirting boards
    Clean, deflate and pack away the pirate ship
    Iron clothes for the week

    Lovely pic Mel :) Hope you get your nap later.

    Jillie £8 is a fab price! I can't do 14th tho :( It's my cousin's 18th and he's having a family do that afternoon.

    Right can I make a suggestion for the Birmingham meet.

    How about everyone who is interested in going posts the dates that they definitely CAN'T do, then SM can gather all those dates together and rule them all out.....she could then post a list of dates that are left over and everyone can vote on which they prefer......whichever gets the most votes wins
    :)

    Does that sound reasonable....it just seems that everytime a random date is put up, someone can't make it
    :(


    I will go first...I definitely can't make the 13th or the 15th, every other date should be fine.

    thats a huge amount to loose well done misses but please be careful as you need your energy to look after the kiddies and keep yourself going xx
    Not too sure how much i have lost but my new trousers are definatly too big now!
    What's for you won't go past you
  • Mel - that sounds like a good idea Mel - I was thinking it was a job for a spreadsheet yesterday but I can't really commit to any organisation ATM.

    I def can't do 9th, 16th, 19th and 24th and in all honesty prefer it not to be a weekend so it doesn't eat into our family time :o but I would still come at the weekend providing we don't have family commitments.


    Was just updating my sig Mel, only 6 oz to go til I have lost a stone! But that will still only just get me down to roughly the weight I was 3 weeks after having Benjamin so I still have a way to go yet. I have a lot more to lose than you so it is bound to drop off quicker.

    I can't really believe how I got to this size TBH, but at least I am doing something about it now.

    Gorgeous picture Mel! Great idea on the dates. I definitely can't do 2/3/4th, 14/15/16th. Anything else is dependent on work but I can probably swing something ;).

    I am eating more than I ever have! Which is probably more than you can say lady. I hope you are looking after yourself :A




    My child is obsessed with putting everything in the bin!! I swear he only does it so we tell him he is a good boy (like we do when he puts his dirty nappies etc in) because he looks really confuzzled when I was not happy that he put his new shoes in there :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Edit - he is now wearing the wicker waste paper basket on his head and shouting 'HELLO' at DSS!! What a fruitloop!!

    That is fantastic though MFD

    I want to lose a few pound in the next 3wks, but tbh I am shocked and have no idea how I have done this...but I am actually 5lb lighter than pre T weight and only 1lb away from Pre K weight? very bizarre. I'm sure you don't have a lot more to lose than me, I am still 3st overweight:(
