    Got abusy day ahead of me so thought I'd better goet on here early, else I'd get distracted and get nothing done! :rolleyes:

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHURCHMOUSE!!

    Hope everyone is feeling okay. I'm feeling more motivated than normally on a Monday morning. Got loads of housework to fit into the day as well - might just have a cuppa and five mins on here first though.... :o

    Happy Birthday Churchmouse ! :beer:

    Good morning everyone,
    I'm pleased with myself today, have been doing WWs Online for a week and have lost 5 lbs :j :j I know you always lose more the first week, but it sure is a good motivator. I don't feel like I'm on a diet as such, it's more a question of recording what I eat and balancing high point things with low point things.

    Not much on today - Tesco for storecupboard stuff and householdy things, then a farmshop for more interesting purchases. Must book a bowling session for Saturday as DS2's birthday treat (he's 10 on Wed).

    Breakfast for kids - pancakes and jam, orange juice
    Breakfast for me- not sure yet

    Lunch for kids + OH - ham sandwiches, breadcrumb cookies, roasted sunflower seeds, apples
    Lunch for me - leek and potato soup, bread, fruit

    Supper- bean stew thing with tortillas and coleslaw

    Morning all

    Happy birthday Churchmouse :bdaycake: Hope you have a great day

    We found out on Friday that my mother (78) has been having blackouts over the last few years at rough intervals of 9 months. The latest incident was last Sunday in her flat. She fell over and hit her head against an Economy 7 heater.

    She went to the GP on Fri and he tested a few things and said it could be Sudden Drop Syndrome. She hadnt told us before because she didnt want us worrying but we have made her promise to tell us of any future occurences.

    The GP will refer her to a specialist. The sooner the better.

    happy birthday church mouse

    well what a weekend i had... i did absolutely nothing and it was brilliant, didnt even post on the daily but i think i read them all etc.
    was really slothful and just did the bare minimum even had take aways saturday and sunday night for dinner, how lazy was that?

    still i will pay for it today as the list of jobs (housework, running about for everyone else who is at work) is huge but be sure i will pop back on for regular tea breaks to catch up.
    and i start a new evening class tonight thats me doing two a week now.
    ok just going for a browse before i start the huge list
    have a great day everyone
    regards
    mrs a
