    No more storms - the nearest I've got is Watching the French Open being rained off!

    2 more bunnnies finished. 4 more just need arms stitching up and attaching.

    Had a good rootle for good quality white fabric whilst out today, but spied none this time. Even saw a pillow - that I didn't need to buy as a generous work colleague brought me 2 of her old ones.

    Made enough cookie mix for 2 big batches but have only cooked up one. T'other's in the fridge. Must try harder NOT to go and find it with a teaspoon in my hand...

    One thing I didn't do today was finish the moderation lark. So that is a MUST and a PRIORITY for tomorrow.

    Off to put dd into jamas and bed soon.

    Hello you!!

    Am loving that you're loving the cookie dough :rotfl: - it is precisely ben & jerry once refrigerated!! :D amazing stuff. And I too can eat it with a teaspoon straight from the fridge which is why on my whole diet I have only made one batch :rotfl:

    How nice to have the car. I would have been out and about all over the place without a care for petrol :rotfl:

    Am off out for a walk and shall then turn my bluetooth back on to see how close we are ;) you do know I am only trying to beat myself each week and keep my weight going the right way. T'isn't about you guys at all :p xxx

    Ha! You may say that Lilt, but when you are sooooo far in front, you don't need to even look over your shoulder to check where the minions are! But I must inform you that MWC is sometimes ahead of you! Get her in among your friends list and then you really will have competition!!!

    Aimed for 15k yesterday but got 14k.

    Breaking news: dd went to sleep in her own bed, on her own. Proud mummy here! Admittedly she did come into my room (where I was sitting while she was in her room) and it took her u til about 9.30, but she did it! I feel another sticker chart coming on...

    And she is still snoozing, but needs waking soon...

    Today:
    - dance
    - moderation completion
    - finish 4 bunnies
    - workout
    - whites wash

    AMAZING!!!!

    Well done DD!!! :j:j:j I too feel a sticker chart coming on!! Does she have any particular types of sticker she likes? There is a VAST collection in the range... I could do with an excuse to go and play ;) we have little coloured 3d stars, big sparkly love hearts - even candles :rotfl:

    I am interested in this MWC ;) is it a chicken of the muddy white variety? I must mail her!! :D I could do with someone other than my last week pushing me!! Although you're doing a good job catching up this week!! xx

    Tis indeed the muddy white variety. Currently working across the pond so even I am ahead of her at the mo. I revel in small glories, don't I?!!

    Stickers don't usually motivate dd - hence the interminable amount of time it takes to fill in a 'new foods' chart. But she was getting a reward every 4 stickers - and that could take months alone! But she was chuffed to start (re-stsart as we used to do one aaaaage ago) one for sleeping. I'd thought about 21. Dh thought that was far tooo many. Dd suggested 12. Wonder who'll win...

    Off to dance classes. I'll take my bunny arms to sew up.

    Am slightly down from terminal density despite 'cleaning out' the mixing bowl ver thoroughly indeed yesterday. (and sampling the goods - just once, I think...)

    Dh took dd to dance classes - yippee!

    Did an epic workout - the same one, but did 3k DB, 5kDB, 8kKB, 10k sandbag, 8k KB, 5k DB and 3k DB. That makes 7 rounds and 23mins 16 secs (approx!).

    AND I have completed all my moderation. Just need a proof of posting (and to do my expenses). Am v happy.

    Crikey on that weight lifting exercise woman. Here is me happily lumping a 5kg weight around and I thought that was good :rotfl: - then again, for me with my back that IS good. Small personal victory really as I could barely lift a book a while back! :j

    Yay for having the time to do the moderation and the exercise. Jellytot is poorly and clingy today. Add to that my fitbit has gone to sleep and is on charge and it is going to be a low exercise day for all intents and purposes.

    I had scrambled eggs (in butter) with some grated cheese and a sprinkle of medium curry powder ;) lovely bubbly!!! xxx

    Dh opens fridge door and asks what veg do you want? I ask what there is. Dh replies not much. I cast a glance over mushrooms, tmatoes, red pepper, red cabbage, brocolli, carrot, spring onion, cucumber, courgette. Yep - not much!

    Lilty - it's all about personal victories, isn't it. Otherwise we end up feeling superior - or inferior - all the time. But I am rather pleased with myself all the same!
