    Oooh what Panto are you going to see?
    Must use my stash up!
  • Family meal and then winning panto tickets sounds amazing! well done lucky xx

    Paid off all Catalogues 10.10.2014
  • Thanks for the good wishes everyone! The Panto is Aladdin at the Sunderland Empire starring Allison Hammond, a guy from Coronation Street and a kids tv presenter :D. The meal beforehand is at a restaurant that looks like something out of Pirates of the Carribean!! Last night I showed the boys the competition page and said "do you think I should enter this?", hoping they wouldn't notice it had already ended! They both said "wow yeah, but bet we don't win", to which I was thrilled to answer that we already have :j.

    I gained 7lbs at chub club last night :eek::eek::eek:.

    Fabulous news on the win :) Boo to the weight gain, what on earth have you been doing:( Of course their scales must be wrong! Knowing you it will be gone again in a flash though.

    Fantastic news on panto win. As for weight gain just relax till the new year then go at it all guns firing. I usually find that if I give up losing weight and just eat what I want when I want I end up losing weight, perhaps cos i'm more relaxed and not thinking about food.x

  • It's that time of year Beanie!!! I tried to be good this week but it only lasted 3 days before I slipped and fell into an Indian takeaway tonight :o.

    DH has been very moody for the last few days to the point that I was starting to feel that I didn't want to put up with it any more :(. We've had more arguments in the last 48 hours than in the last 48 weeks! We had my Mum, her partner and my Sister over for a meal yesterday (which was lovely) and then when they left I went next door for a glass of wine and a chat with my friends. The time with others and then apart helped immensely and today has been better.

    Today we went to the gym and then took my lovely Grandma out for coffee. She is looking so much better :T. Family Fun Friday was a trip to soft play (DS2's choice) so it's been a busy day.

    It just goes to show how much you need your 'me time' and need to protect it. It is so easy when things aren't going so well to just withdraw, but I think that you really need to go out of your way to ensure that you do get that 'space'.
