  • Morning Everyone

    Well, day one starts of my 'healthy eating' plan today, I'm not calling it the 'd' word as I tend to think I'm being deprived and end up eating more :rotfl: Seriously, the clothes in my wardrobe are now divided into two - those I cannot get my butt into and those I've had to buy to look respectable :rolleyes: Am at W*** until 5pm and then I'm visiting Mr T's to stock up on healthy food and a decent set of weighing scales.

    B - Cereal
    L - Chicken Salad (rubber chicken from yesterday)
    D - Haven't decided yet

    Have a good day everyone xxxx
    Its nice to be important but more important to be nice!

    Good morning everyone - I hope those who had a poor nights sleep for whatever reason, manage to get through the day without too much trouble.

    To anyone who is trying to lose weight - hang on in there and don't give up. It often takes a while to show but you WILL get there.

    Penelope-Penguin - tell your DD good luck from me - I got my QG back in 1982 and am still proud of the achievement! So, all the best to her.

    PP good luck at hospital.

    I have a day of mystery shops lined up with flylady in between. My freezer is now full up of batch cooked meals so no need to do any more there!

    Have a good day everyone.

    Good Morning All - hope we are well

    Good Luck PP with your appointment today

    GinGin good luck when you tackle the Head, ref these 4 teachers. How do they expect a child to get a bond with a teacher, then they are forever swapping them!

    ((((hugs to those who need/want them))))

    slept on & off last night last. I kicked OH out of bed, snoring & fidgeting again. Could do with going back to bed - but sadly, I have work this morning.

    Watched BB last night, was shocked to see Ken had left (bless him) - and cant believe they have replaced him & Donny with Jade's Grandparents. It takes the whole meaning out of the Celeb part.

    DS has got practise SATS this week.

    Anyway - short & sweet for me for a change, will catch you later
    Take care, have a good day, love as usual

    Morning everybody, hope that you are all well and happy today. Welcome stormy, thinking of you. Good luck at the hospital pp. Well DH off to school the alarm went off FAR too early for my liking! Feel a lot better today, still sad but ok. I have resolved that I AM going to be better this year. I am going to be far more organised(well couldn't be any worse);finally going to get the house straight; THROW STUFF OUT!;make plans AND ACTULLY CARRY THEM OUT! We will see. You all inspire me so I am going to spend a few hours reading previous posts and am going to start to use my slow cookers(used to use them all the time don't know exactly why I stopped). So, for 2007 a new annie will be born(hopfully). My uncles funeral was beautiful,very moving the priest was really nice and LOADS of the parish attended. I was very shocked to se how frail one of my Aunt's was and one of my Uncles looked pretty ill(keep telling myself that he had a long and difficult journey and was on the 2:30am sailing that evening-but......) It was lovely to see so many family members but wish it was a happier occasion. I was chatting to my late Uncle on 20th Dec, and on 24th he passed away. I am going to try to live for now and stop putting things off.I WILL IMPROVE THIS YEAR! I need nagging if I slip please. Anyway off to do some stuff rather than just talking about doing stuff. Cats all ok(most in just going to get Simon in) been fed litter trays etc so going to put fire on=happy cats!! Stay safe,warm and happy. Much love Annie XXXX

    morning all and hugs and good luck wishes to all that need them
    Got up and ready for w**k at stupid o'clock only to discover that 10yo dd has a burst ear drum and temperature - poor thing. i have phoned work who are ever so good as this is a regular occurence and now need to phone the doctor at nine to (hopefully) get an appointment for her. It's probably too late for antibiotics unless the other ear is infected but i need to record every infection as she is on a waiting list for grommets. this will be her third operation. Her hearing is quite bad anyway and this year i am going to try and get her statemented or something so that she gets extra help or equipment. I have tried this before but glue ear is seen as a temporary problem even when it has been going on for seven years. Also she is on the Gifted and Talented list at school so is not seen as having any special needs but i am worried about social isolation - wish me luck. She passed her last hearing test in october which i found hard to beleive as she has the tv on full blast with subtitles but later confessed that she felt rather than heard most of the sounds so put the peg in the box anyway. :D
    have a good day
    I'm going to feed our children non-organic food and with the money saved take them to the zoo - half man half biscuit 2008
