  • Hi all - I did post this am but lost it all!!!

    Kaz - it was me on anniversary yesterday - Congrats on your 13th - ours was 30!!!

    Well done Mummyroysof3.

    Not much done today - but have achieved part one of June challenge as have lost 3.5 lbs before our anniversary trip.
    Paperwork challenge is in doubt as seem to be making more not losing it!!! Have less than a week of June left when we get back and away three days of that week!!

    This morning got weighed and did 45 mins weeding, followed by important phone call for half an hour.
    Now back out again to finish weeding as promised rain at 2 pm isn't here - yet!

    Later will try to start packing - or at least sorting our cases into first half of week and end of week!!!

    Have a good day everyone. xx

    Very well done, JTTOU :T:T:T
    We went to weigh in today as well. DH has lost 1 lb, despite eating cake, cream and ice cream on Saturday. I ate less than him and have put half a pound back on again! Am exceedingly annoyed at being stuck at around this weight for the 3rd week in succession :mad:

    The Ethiopian chariot is nearly finished - just need to sort out an umbrella and a few cushions. Will post a photo later: must check my materials and notes and pack my bags first, so that I'm ready for tonight's presentation.

    The house will be tidied tomorrow. Today I am celebrating a £25 win on one of my Premium Bonds which I've had for 15 years without ever winning anything before :D It will go towards DH's replacement wedding ring, as the one he lost when his podgy fingers slimmed down has not turned up again.

    Hope the hospital was okay Natty, and thanks for updating the list.

    Bits for window printed out, now I just need to stick them together, cover them in stickytape (so the paper doesn't fail/rip when cutting and it'll use up some of the big roll I found which we don't use as we prefer mini-rolls ;) ) and start cutting. DD will not be impressed but its my window and I'll do what I want with it so there *said in best teen strop impression*:rotfl::p:rotfl::p:rotfl: She gets to have "F1fa world cup Brazil" on it as well this way which she's been asking me to do ;)

    Really proud mum moment, DS2 has just come home with a letter saying hes getting a trophy at the end of year awards evening.


    just spent an hour in DS2s room culling to small clothes, the CS will do quite well out of me on the next visit i think. ive left him with a pile of stuff an told him to hold back anything he desperately wants to keep and put the rest on the pile on the landing. I can then bag it and take it down at the weekend.

    going to do a few bits off the list now.
