Quick update. Have decided to visit family next week for a week, cant really afford to but have to. Have a new great neice to meet too so that will be nice. DD is being a real P**A at the mo, no sense of humour and just obsessed with the bf who has no summer job and lives about 2 hours away. She spends no time here on her days off, and Im leaving her in charge of things while were in Wales, hate the think too hard about it. She was disappointed not to be coming, but Ive told her she failed her exams so she needs every cent she can get, and cant afford to pay towards her own ticket. She can find it for the bf though so makes me very cross. Hope she learns from this. Feel Im hard on her but sometimes you just have to be to get through to them. Anyway hope house is still standing when we return:eek:

Slowly getting back into gear. House was still standing but judging by the amount of candles and nightlites about the place Im very surprsied!!! Boys went back to school yesterday just a half day and the same today. All went ok and youngest seems to be ok with all the changes now he's in the "big" school. Been swimming like a crazy woman and have to say I can feel a massive difference, have shed a few pound too so thats making me feel good too. Hope I can keep it up as I really enjoy the excersise now that Im not so out of puff:rotfl: Hope everyone is well and still slogging on.

I certainly need to join you in the weightloss challenge.

Well done on the weight loss and improved fitness. Glad the boys were okay at school. First day back is always difficult, especially at New school.

Thanks folks, Im really going to try and post a bit more now that things are getting into a routine again. Had to buy 2 new schoolshirts as the ones I had hand me down seem to be much to big for DS2 and he's complaining a bit. Managed an early swim today before the weather got nasty. Not sure if I'll make another one tonight, would love to. Just cleaning the oven today as there was a lot of smoke when I cooked fish last night!!;)

Quite a busy week managed to get swimming, weightloss is a bit static now but Im still trying no treats and just pizza on saturday which is homemade and I will only have 2 slices, promise. Have a stone more to lose they say that its always the hardest so I will persevere.
Been doing some much needed cleaning and decluttering just wish I had a huge skip to get rid of the stuff as it all has to get sorted for recylcing and charity shops etc, seems to take forever. DH has plenty of work for a change so its helping get the house sorted, Did manage to watch the first series of Stella this week on dvd, really enjoyed it. Hope everyone is having a good weekend.
