    Poor Jelly and her 'tummy egg' hope she's feeling better soon. Why does MIL give her things you tell her not to?? Probably something my MIL/FIL would do if I had kids. :cool:

    Hahaha! Sorry.. I am drawing on the experience since moving darn souf. Every 20something and her mini-me daughter have identikit top of the head buns and much animal print. ;)

    You have described my neighbour!! But at least she can laugh at herself when she is rocking her leopard print fleecy leggings and vest top!

    Hi Lilt,

    glad to read that you have managed to have a great sunshine filled day, I must agree with the majority and say your Jelly looks very grown up but I also love the curls...

    I hope you manage to get to the doctors to sort out your migraines, I thought I was over the hill with my cold but seems to be the snotty grotty stage is back with a hacking cough to boot... really not feeling it, but work must go on...

    hope you get the answers you are looking for

    hope you get to the Dr and find a way to kick the a$$ of those migraines :( you still amaze me with all that you pack in to your time! your motivation is always inspiring especially all the things you do with the 'Tot! She does look super grown up in the pic but great capture of a spring-esque shot! It's crazy how they go from looking like babies/toddlers to looking like "proper humans" (LOL) over the ages of 3 and 4.. it's unnerving sometimes how fast it happens xx
    wishing you an amazing week!xx

    Love the new look Miss Jelly-Style, so adorable - it makes her look older and not quite so mischievous ;)- I vote for curls and purple too - naughty but nice;):D


    but she's a little star whatever look she wears - just like her mum:)

    Help you lot :D

    You make me blush. Jelly went to nursery today rocking the curls for you all. She was also wearing head to toe Peppa Pig :o:o:o - does it make me a bad person that MIL bought this outfit and I have immediately relegated it to the 'nursery' drawer because I can't face the idea of her being seen out with me in it unless it is covered in paint... :rotfl:

    hummingbird there was nowhere else to put the cardi and I did debate the around the waist style but discounted it on the fact that her trousers need no encouragement to fall down as it is!! ;) I thought she looked so very stylish ;) hahaha!! not hard when there is no felt tip in sight!

    So...

    I went to drop Jelly off at nursery, took a parcel to be sent to a lovely friend... and then popped into Mr L where I got £20 worth of soya milk, chicken breasts and other bits and bobs needed for the week. I then went to the Doctors and was told I have to start a ketogenic diet. For those not in the know it is next to no carbs and less than 15g of sugar a day. :eek: - I got weight and measured and had my BP done by the fab machine in the reception of the docs and it tells me I am horribly overweight. I weigh about 8 kilo's more than I ever have :eek: so I am going to take the double benefit and stick to this diet like glue. I have also been given another tablet which I know will knock me absolutely for 6 so am taking it tonight if this migraine does not shift. I am not loving the indoor sunglasses with curtains closed thing I have going on.

    Anyways after the Docs I realised 90% of the shop I have done and the cupboards are not fit for purpose so went and spent another eyewatering £60 stocking up on stuff for ME. I have done this diet before and ate a lot of salad, greens, salmon and eggs so I will just stick to that. I had to buy a different type of sweetener :wall: nd so on and so forth. Make me stick to it people.

    apple it is very similar to your own diet though a bit more restricted... keep me on the straight and narrow will ya.

    In 6 weeks time I should be in ketosis properly and then should start to feel the effects of it both on my migraines and on my waistline :)

    I am feeling quite up for it which has surprised me because I haven't felt like dieting at all. But I think the shock of the scales this morning told me enough was enough!!! Cannot continue in this vein and must cut the carp. Just need to stock up on some nuts now to give me some snacks at work. What kind of diet won't let you eat fruit. Or peas or carrots?! :rotfl:

    Hope everyone is well, Westie hope you are feeling better?

    Lots of love xxx

    hi you! That diet sounds tough but honestly (bit like the dairy thing) its worth it. I adore all things diary and I was told to avoid. It was horrid to start with and now I am so used to it (like I am sure Jelly and you are!) that its second nature to me. Good luck! xx ps any of your shop you can take back? Ive done that before

    Hope the migraine gets sorted Lilty, and that Jelly feeling better too after her tummy egg.
    Had to nip into town to do banking. Should have known better than to go just before lunch without eating lunch. picked up some bits I needed in SuerDr*g and they had 2 for 1£ choc bars offer right next the till. So having saved on parking and increased activity by walking a bit further I then had a marathon sorry snickers now isn't it? and a mars bar. :o


    A close friend has done the ketogenic diet several times and loses loads. However ....Shes's a yoyo-er though - she normally does it just before going to the Sunshine State so she can supersize everything:eek:
    I've done lots of posts today because I am avoiding housework:o
