    I have barely done anything today, I went to my sisters and we have arranged a few days away at haven on the October half term, it should be fun for the kids, My SIL is taking two of her kids, sis1 is taking 2 of her kids, sis 2 is taking her 2 children and I am taking my 3!

    It will be noisy if nothing else I have never taken the kids anywhere on my own overnight before so I am a bit nervous but sis1 and SIL have told me I can used my nieces to help with swimming and looking after them on a evening during the shows (nieces are 12 and 13) I will make sure I have extra pennies with me to thank them. When we go it will be Halloween and I REALLY wanted to go as smurfs DD as smurfette, Ds1&2 as just normal smurfs and me as Gargamel :rotfl: but DD want to be a pirate so have pirate outfits for DD and ds2 but need a trip to Matalan for ds1 as mozza`s only had spiders in for his age group.

    Oh and while I am at Matalan tomorrow I must buy new smoke alarms for B&Q.

    Fabby fishy hat pigpen!

    Wendy sorry you're having a rough time. Sounds like you deserve better than him anyway. You don't need a flake (only the choccie kind) x
    Bossy, must thank you since starting to take part in your challenges ive lost 9lbs:j

    :T what you have lost I have found :o do you want it back :D
    Time to put out WM2 and put the shopping away before going to my friends either on my bike or walking as Bossy you have indly given me stars which I doubt I have fully earned.

    Any bit of effort deserves a star! It's all about trying and taking part.

    Personal challenge update:
    At our first SW meeting I entered a weight of 97.8 kg.
    This week I entered a weight of 92.4 kg.
    This means I have lost a total of 5.4 kg

    which means that I have already surpassed my original goal of 5 kg :j
    DH has also lost a total of 5.4 kg over the 3 weeks and is also determined to keep on track :D

    Bah you too. I'm well "jell" as they say. I really need to get my act together. Well done :T

    Not achieved much today other than hectic day at work. Went to get weighed :( and nurse was mixed up and gave me a flu jab :eek::D hurrah although my right arm aches, amazing as she jabbed my left :rotfl:. DD was supposed to have the flu "squirt" but didn't as they were queueing out of the door. By the time I had her bathed and ready for bed DS was back from swimming.

    MIL brought hm butternut soup though which was v nice!

    Early night for me as early to paid stuff tomorrow.

    Night all x

    Got my lovely new to me sofa and chairs and the chairs are too big - have been doing the hokey cokey with bloody furniture all evening and it still looks rubbish here, can't get into the DR unless I stand on the coffee table and walk along it as its blocking the door lol, dog has the hump big time as he hates change and DH is in bed snoring and has been since 7.30, still, had a lovely chat with DD and that doesnt happen often so there's the positive - back to pushing chairs around :]
    Projects made for craft fair - 40 :)
