    Nothing much to report - I've been and bought some fruit and veg today, and not much else. It's been really cold here all day, so I've been sat on the sofa under a fleece blanket for most of the afternoon.

    I'm also making myself a bit of a treat for tea - American pancakes! Not made them before, but they look very yummy, and as long as I don't have too many, not too unhealthy either ;)

    I get married 11 weeks today.... :eek:

    Keiss - they were yummy :D

    Not done much today, just popped to Mr Ts for some food for the cupboards, and done our meal plan for the week :)

    We also went to the cinema to see War Horse - OH's suggestion - and I loved it :D it was sad though :( but I suggest to everyone to go and see it! Take tissues though ;)

    Not done a lot today, just pottered around and tidied up a bit.

    Intake today:
    b - apple and blueberry oatmeal - 198 calories
    l - 2 waffles (210) yogurt (110) small orange (15) - 335 calories
    s - hula hoops - 95 cals
    t - quiche (410) salad (30) - 440 calories
    Total: 1,068 calories.

    Not pleased nor displeased with today. I haven't hit my target for fruit and veg though, so need to look at that again tomorrow. I'm fed up of the food I have in for lunch, but we can't really afford for me to get lots of expensive stuff in at the moment.

    My life is so unexciting :o

    My bridesmaids shoes arrived today - 4 pairs of sparkly silver shoes :) I have their dresses hung up in the wardrobe, so they're almost sorted :)

    I keep having bad dreams, which means that I'm constantly shattered. Sigh.

    Sorry, I never seem to be very positive these days.. :o

    Oh dear, lots of ((((((hugs)))))) SF. Not getting enough sleep really can leave you out of sorts...I should know :o

    Have you tried having some lavender around your bed? You can have a lavender bag, some lavender spray scent or gel/handcream. I find I really relax when I have a sniff of it!! I have some lavender bags made up, if you want to try one.

    Exciting about the bridesmaids outfits:j

    Take care of yourself xxx

    I've got a lavender owl that OH got me that I have next to me on the pillow - I just think that I have so much going round in my head at the moment, that sleep is the last thing on my mind! :o

    and thanks for your concern x

    Like the idea of a lavender owl!

    Hope you are managing to get more sleep now.

    Talking of which, I really need to get to bed! :D

    Keiss - you were up late!

    So, I had an interview today but didn't get the job. I didn't sleep well and had to travel quite a way there and back so I'm really tired this evening. I got some helpful feedback so I'm trying to think positively, but it's really hard. I honestly feel like I'm never going to get another job again. I know that's not the way to think, but sigh.

    Positive, another NSD for me.
