    Squuueeeeh :D

    Hello folks. Sorry I wasn't on yesterday. I was riding out a dicky tummy. Caused by my own binge on ice cream, toblerone and sweeties, after blindly eating barbecue sauce packed to the rafters with sugar whilst out earlier in the day at a restaurant. bad bad bad. I am back on the diet with a vengeance today. When will I learn (takes notes those of you doing low carb and sugar free...) messing with the diet plan does NOTHING for your health!

    We had a lovely day. Jellytot has been a little dream the last few days, although I must have taken her to the toilet 10 times at the Harvester, she *went* every single time bless her, so I cannot complain! No accidents! Little hero.

    Becs I only wish I could have had a roll!! I did eye them up, but ironically decided to be good! :o Dad had a great day, as did Him. His first Fathers day off in 6 years. 3 of those he has been a father for himself, so it was truly lovely to have him around to spoil!

    Its funny, but from the race, I keep getting little messages. A lady randomly walked up to me on the day just as we set off, and said 'You're Lily! Where's your mum?!' - I had spoken to her on the Facebook page about the car parking passes! She recognised me from my unicorn t-shirt :rotfl: We chatted a bit and she said hello to mum and then off we went again. Then today someone else commented and said, 'you're the girl whose mum had just finished chemo, aren't you, the one with the brilliant t-shirt?! (Mum was wearing her chemo t-shirt.. :D) Your mum did amazingly!' It was such a tight knit community. I know these things are, but you could talk to anyone. Everyone had the same common goal, things in common, namely kicking cancers bum, or losing someone to it!

    Today has been a busy busy day. I've enjoyed it. Except for the part where I put a brand new pink t-shirt in the wash because the label said colourfast... and it dyed everything in sight splotchy pink. Not even in a good way. That is the second pair of my white jeans that has been massacred by pink dye after 1 wear. I am not good with whites! :rotfl:

    Have rescued it with a combination of 5x different stain removers, whiteners, colour catchers etc etc... I'm not joking :rotfl: - my jeans are on their second wash as a little bit didn't come out. So they have been worn once, and washed 3 times.... :huh: ;)

    Other than that its been a normal Monday. My food intake has been good, but I am off to rustle myself up a menu for the rest of the week to get me into and keep me in ketosis.

    Lots of love :D xxx

    Hahaha!! I know, it is a little bit crazy, but she is great usually. Having said that today she covered her new jacket in bean juice, and managed to cover her bedroom window, windowsill and curtain in some kind of chocolate flavoured concrete. I gave her one piece of chocolate. She multiplied it by 50 judging by the mess! And I only spotted it once dry. Great.. :rotfl:

    She wrote her name in both her Go-Go's and Daddys cards :D very clever little girly. Mum then taught her how to write Go Go on her chalk board. go go actually, lowercase. And she now knows what it says. :heart2:

    Washing machine just finished. Wish me luck...!

    I have a set of towels that are now a dusky blue after washing with my jeans, quite like the colour, they were a beige colour before....

    I'm rubbish with washing clothes, all my red stuff is still lingering in the bottom of the basket, not sure if they are dark or light, or a wash on their own pesky blighters...

    Westie they are colours. But if you wash them with your blue jeans they could be purple. I think you need to wash them with similar colours. I tend to take more care with things I already like the colour of, but I have multi coloured pants :rotfl:

    Like the idea of dusky blue towels :)
