    Lots of exciting things happening for you PLMBL. Fingers crossed for good news for DS2. Could be the start of something big for him.

  • Super quick update tonight.

    I lost 5.5lbs at chub club today :T.

    Photographer has been round and taken loads of photos. He was lovely. I hate looking at myself in photos though, so hoping I don’t look like a moose :(.

  • Aw Beanie, that’s sweet, thank you.

    Today has been a NSD :j.

    Photographer came back today (travelled 2 hours to get here :eek:) as there were more shots he wanted. I then spoke to the journalist over the phone, who read the article she’s written out to me :A. At the risk of completely outing myself, it will be offered out to the press next week so if there are takers it should appear quite quickly. I hope it helps other people in the same situation.

  • Another NSD :T. Beautifully sunny here today, so we went to the park with the kids. MiL came too and she bought their ice creams :D, hence the NSD.

    Money still very tight. This week I have to cover;
    School Trip 1 - £27
    School trip 2 - £15
    School trip 3 - £5
    School Fair 1 - ?? (School Fair 2 is next week!)
    Birthday gift - £15

    And that’s without all the other bills :(.
