Feel better soon Natty x

Ds2 surpassed him self today at the swimming gala. He punched a TA and tipped chairs over and went for another teacher. Queue lots of pointing and muttering from other parents. I swear we are going to become hermits.

Bossy: can I join the July challenge please? I would like to get back to losing weight.

Dailies done

I have been reminded I said I would arrange a MK meet up, some time in the summer, so who would be interested / day / date / ideas as to what we would like to do?.

Would love to join you if I can, but we have visitors for most of the 2nd and 3rd weeks in August. Apart from then, I can usually wangle a day out.

Weigh in at 10am - fingers crossed for 1.5lb

Me too, JTTOU - but we had an excellent Old Wives' Meal this evening: 2 starters, large main course, no less than 5 desserts (all of them creamy) and tea/coffee with mint chocs. I was very good and only had a small spoonful of each dessert and no chocs, filling up on fruit starter and salad (which I love anyway). My fingers are well and truly crossed!

I have achieved a few things today, so my list for tomorrow looks like this:

- Finish course materials
- SW (if necessary I will come home early)
- Tidy, hoover and dust downstairs
- Hair appointment 12:00 - it will soon be short enough to trim with the clippers
- Run next session of course
- Tidy study... again!
- Mow lawn
- QHI whilst watching TV
Carried over from today]
- Check fire alarm is working
- Sort 10 things from wardrobe to get rid of (1 from me and 9 from DH)

Will carry on working for just a few more minutes until the post-prandial caffeine has worn off, then hope for a better night's sleep than last night.
Good night all...

LW - I would just like to say that my DH had his hernia fixed a couple of years ago and it didn't really put him out that much. He was a bit uncomfortable for a few days and didn't drive the next day but that was all. Please try not to worry too much


Pig-pen - Pixie looks like an angel. When I see a picture like that I'm a bit sad mine are all so grown up, it seemed to happen overnight !


[QUOTE=Natty68;65968283]Evening all, just popping in to say I'm here...just feeling a bit bleugh!! Have group tomorrow so am up and down at the moment, plus I found out I'm allergic to onions.. How random is that!!!

Bossy: I won't be doing a challenge in July.
Piggers (and anyone else who is interested): I can help organise a get together but I'm restricted on dates. It would have to be Weds 20th August for me, but can sort out in Hull or York. Let me know.

Right, onwards and upwards, have a great day everyone.
