Know how you feel. Have a feeling I may have to go dress shopping for my May event. It's refusing to shift.
Comfort eating over the weekend won't have helped - trying not to think about sister getting married at about 12pm without any of us. Not a good night. BD back with a vengeance.GC Mar 13 £47.36/£1500 -
I'm back in this week. I've got a fortnight off and need to get the house sorted before I go on placement. My two LO's are in school this week, so I have no excuses. Hoping to get the garden sorted too!Sealed Pot Challenge - member 1109:j0

Comfort eating over the weekend won't have helped - trying not to think about sister getting married at about 12pm without any of us. Not a good night. BD back with a vengeance.I'm sure sister was trying to avoid any stress doing it that way, perhaps there will be a celebratory get together when she comes home?
I'm thinking just more energetic flying. - Doing "daily plate" which is calorie tracking for free online. They say I need to do 1800 calls a day to lose 1lb a week.it's not working at the moment. Worked last time I did it, was amazing, so I'm a bit evangelical about it
I guess my hormones are making things difficult at the moment
Right cuppa and flying time!
Charlie already out in the garden so he can see other chickens and realise he's not a husky

I'm back after a long time of being AWOL. Life has been manic and cleaning the house has very much been on the back burner as a consequence. It got so bad even my DP noticed the dirt and starting cleaning :eek: and he NEVER sees the dirt
Can I get a slovenly cow award?! :rotfl:
Anyway, two weeks Easter holiday now to get the house ship shape and make a start on many DIY projects. Wish me luck!

I have stripped and remade our bed, decluttered a big mug of tea and written 2 letters of complaint to Waterstones about the handling of Saturday's book signing - 1 to the York branch, 1 going to Head Office.
I feel so much better for writing them!
Off to reclaim the recycling boxes/bags/bins and do the washing up!:jFlylady and proud of it:j0 -

Short notice, but no time like the present"I know that Prince Charming doesn’t come save me, we save each other and fight back to back against all comers that’s what marriage is to me.
