    Haha exactly Hadley! They have problems finding my veins most time but normally once they find it it is fine. Oh well my bruise isn't as bad as I expected.

    How exciting Olokia! Not long to go. Are you excited? I am super excited now and can't wait! heehee. I've got 5 and a half weeks to go :):):)

    Breakfast was porridge as usual. Lunch is carrot, cucumber and pepper sticks, with melon, an apple and a banana. Super healthy. I didn't bring any crisps or chocolate today as there is so much in the kitchen downstairs I am bound to give in at somepoint.

    Last nights dinner was potato wedges, quorn sausages and beans. So not great but not awful as I only had a few wedges.

    Arhh thanks :) We are really happy with them. There are a couple where I don't like my chin haha and OH thinks his face looks fat in couple. But overall we are really happy and can't wait for the wedding ones now.

    Just started lunch as was getting peckish. Need to pop out later too to get some baking stuff (off to my godparents this weekend and told them I would bring some goodies)

    Em, your photos are lovely, you look so happy! and you have gorgeous hair :)

    So far today I've eaten a banana, a cup of tea and a mini 'healthy' flapjack thing from my graze box. I'm currently guzzling water like it's going out of fashion and in a minute will probably have some carrot sticks and some fruit before aiming for another 45 mins of exercise.

    I'm p**sed off because I weighed myself this morning (I know I shouldn't weigh every day but it's a bit of an obsession!) and I seem to have gained back the 1 lb I lost last week.

    Also, I have no idea what's happening in terms of returning to work. Work have decided that to cover them, they don't want me to come back until I have seen their Occupational Health (even though my neurologist has said it's ok to come back part time) but they don't know when there will be an appointment. I'm sure once I'm back at work, on my feet all day and too busy to eat lunch, the weight will start coming off again...but it's HARD to be good when you're sitting around the house all day!

    Poo.

    Thanks Daisie. I do like my long hair but I have had it long for ages and I am tempted to have it cut to bob type length after the wedding. Don't know if I will have the guts though!

    I know what you mean about it being really tempting when there is all that stuff at home. It is easier when you are at work sometimes. However here we always seem to have loads of tempting things in the kitchen. Not so good!

    That's where in a way I'm lucky - I'm allergic to eggs, dairy and nuts so even if there is a constant supply of chocolate and biscuits and cakes in the corner of our office, unless I've provided them I can't eat them so I won't be tempted! I also can't eat anything from the school canteen so basically once I'm at work, I can only eat what I've brought with me and can't veer from that, which can be quite helpful.
