    I got a loss! Yay! Could have been better but also could have been worse with how the week went food wise. 1 and 1/2 pounds off. That's 6 pounds in 2 weeks. :D Next week has got to be the half stone ... fingers crossed!

    Time for treats! ;) Will do full update later. xx

    Money
    Spent £2.95 in local charity shop on a single duvet cover and pillow case which I'm planning on turning into cushions when I learn how to use my sewing machine.
    PAD £1.

    Diet and exercise
    Walked 3 miles to and from local village to mooch through charity shops.
    Breakfast - Weetabix.
    Lunch - Ham salad, yoghurt.
    Tea - Sausage, bacon, egg, tomato, beans.
    Snacks - Banana, apple, grapes, weight watchers choc brownie pudding
    WEIGHT LOSS 1 and 1/2 pounds. :D

    General
    Slept! Sadie and I are both in need of rest to get over this cold so we went and got into bed this afternoon!

    Small DFW bits and bobs
    Walked to shops instead of driving.
    Continued to make house look like a laundry with clothes hanging everywhere to dry!
    Updated spreadsheet after checking all my internet banking.

    Might be off to bed soon, this cold is giving me a banging head. xx

    OK, so I feel as though I'm back in the land of the living!

    DH did night feeds last night (only because I was in a stupor and didn't wake! :o) but I think the sleep helped. He usually does them at the weekend too so hopefully I can feel more human again.

    Sadie seems much better and is getting back into a more normal routine which is nice. So lovely to see her all smily again!

    Had a nice day today as we met a friend who emigrated to Australia 3 years ago and has been back for christmas. Was lovely to see her - and she treated us to lunch making it a NSD! ;) She also invited us to her wedding in September so am working out how to get the time off work.

    Also posted phones so hoping to get money from them soon ... Nothing else to report I don't think. xx

    Evening all,

    Once again I've gone a little bit AWOL over the weekend. This weekend however it's with good cause as we lost my nan yesterday. Honestly, I'm heartbroken but I'm so glad she didn't have to suffer and in the end didn't have to go through the trauma of chemo. Mixed emotions so before I start waffling I'll say goodnight.

    Be back on tomorrow I'm sure. xxx

    So so sorry to hear about your nan, it sounds like she held on to see her beautiful grandaughter, and had her wish fulfilled.

    You take care xxx
