    Blimey some early birds today!

    Well done on all the weightloss going on - that's great!

    I have joined a diet club to lost 1 st 5lbs (19lbs) and am determined to stick to it along with my exercise as I'm a bit fed up of being half hearted about it so this week off I go with no treats in the house that can make things worse. Feel a bit slimmer this week as have been back out running and a pair of trousers feel less tight so that's a start

    Today's plan is
    HHI
    Wash dog blankets
    Go for a run
    Gardening
    Tackle frog list
    Make a corned beef pie to use up a tin that's been in the cupboard for ages (wish me luck, not sure what its going to turn out like!)

    Morning all,
    Well done on all the weight losses, I joined weight watchers 2 weeks ago and had lost 7lbs but put 2 back on this week. Must try harder.:(

    Kids all up and DS1 just heading for a bath. I need to go to the shop, make a picnic, get everyone dressed and leave by 11. Shouldn't be too bad. Rhys is looking forward to seeing some pigs today, should be good. :D

    Right i'm away......
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.
    :j :j

    morning all!

    Have decluttered a walk and breakfast - and now need a massive cup of tea.

    OH in an absolutely foul mood - DS stayed too long at the pub after cricket and couldn't get up to go fishing this morning! OH is not impressed!

    Off to put another wash load on!

    Hello again ladies

    I have been AWOL again for a while. I tried following the list this week without posting but it didn't go so well. I think I need to actually be on here and posting to get my wobbly bottom in gear!
    I am not going to try to rescue last week or i'll just overstress myself. I will just go for a list of things to do today and get back into the plan tomorrow.
    I did a bit of ironing yesterday but we still have a full ironing mountain so hoping to get that down to the size of a large hill today and I have school books to mark and tons of planning to do as we have a department inspection the week after next.
    Yesterday I meal planned and booked gym classes for the week, which sounds like nothing but is a major achievement! I can't remember the last time we were organised enough to meal plan.

    To do
    -Strip all bedding
    -Wash all bedding
    -Remake all beds
    -Give blood (DH 5.05pm Me 5.45pm)
    -2 x HHI
    -Change cat litter
    -Plan next week
    -Plan following week
    -Mark Y10 books
    -Make DH and I packed lunches
    -Pack up car
    -Tidy out cars
    -Empty and fill dishwasher
    -Fill pasta, washing powder and fabric conditioner caddies
    -Declutter dining table
    -Sweep kitchen/dining room floor
    -Mop kitchen and dining room floor
    -Put all washing away


    Phew - that sounds like more than I thought - oops! DH is at work until lunchtime so hopefully I can get the little man to nap for a couple of hours and then I can get through some ironing and school work whilst he sleeps and the twins are entertained by good old Fireman Sam!

    Morning all :wave:
    Hmm I started boxes of books last night but really didn't get far at all - I watched BGT with DS2 and hubby, yay Jai McDowell :j
    So here's my plan for today :)


    [STRIKE]Hang washing out that I have washed today
    Put WM on[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Dry washing[/STRIKE]
    Iron all dried washing
    [STRIKE]Dishes (of course - when do I never have dishes?!)[/STRIKE]
    Clean out pantry
    [STRIKE]Infantry of fridge/freezer[/STRIKE] and pantry (checked bank account and less in there than I hoped so need to do a wise shop today using what food I have here for meals and adding to it :) )
    Shopping
    [STRIKE]Sweep and hoover living room floor
    Phone potential recruit[/STRIKE]
    Phone guests regarding orders
    Soak false nails off - any advice on this please? Was going to have it done at salon but filling food cupboards come first :)
    Make a list of 10 frogs! :D


    Ok that's enough to be getting on with for now :)
    Catch you all later, love and hugs x
    Jen :)
    Everything happens for a reason :)

    Trying to sort out all the Bank Statement/savings/income stuff the council want to see to prove that I was telling the truth when I told them my income had gone up :mad: (mainly because my tax had gone down).

    Really tempted to tell them to cancel Council Tax Rebate claim - I only just qualify so it's not a vast discount.

    Really makes you wonder how some people seem able to fiddle the system and do it for years.
  • Morning!

    WM x 2

    Just going to have bacon banjo sandwiches and then we're off to get Minion her fish. Will pop into the supermarket to get something for dinner and then intend to spend the day vegetating, until the evening, when the garden really needs watering.
    I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.

    msgnomey - I think being an AHT is overrated. If you want a really good way of losing weight and having fun at the same time, may I recommend Zumba classes or Amazon have the set online at a reduced price of £39.98 until the end of today with free delivery if you wanted to do it at home. (Moon has just bought it for my birthday a my request so I can do some more at home.) It's really good fun, and only going to classes once a week (Sunday evenings to get rid of the Sunday feeling), my body has completely changed shape. It's a real laugh as you're just learning dance routines, and it's great to meet some people who aren't school-related. Some of the steps seem a bit tricky at first if you're as uncoordinated as I am, and not a natural dancer, but you soon pick them up. My instructor says that if you find some of the steps tricky, just freestyle, cos as long as you're moving, you're still burning calories.

    Well I've just decluttered my inbox and done a couple of surveys this morning, so I'm well on my way to getting my cheque sent through the post.

    Moon and I rushed out to get the washing in this morning, as it started to rain (when was that forecast?), and I've put it all away. Just off to finish off that planning and then email it to colleague.

    Hugs to all who need or want them,

    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.
