Hi PLMBL,
So glad to you see back on here, I asked SA if you’re ok. I’ve popped in more in the last few months & noticed you weren’t posting as much so glad to see you’re all ok. Fantastic about your weight loss I feel like I’m eating my way out of this.
Congratulations on the future addition to the family. I have a grand puppy called Doug. Supposed to be a Shitzu but I think it’s more a Shitzbitz! Who cares.4 -

Thanks for all the lovely comments on my weightloss. Another 1lb off this week. As those of you on my FB or memories page can see though, I’ve still got a fair way to go.
My poor Grandma has had a bit of a day. She’s been self isolating for 4 weeks now, not having anyone across the door, family leaving food on her doorstep etc. Today though, water came pouring through her ceiling from the flat above. 4 firemen ended up in her flat sorting it all out. She would normally have loved the company but bless her she was a bit panicked. All good now though thankfully.Debts @ LBM £23,729.31. Debts @ 08/04/2016 £0 :j

Bless your GM that must have been a shock for her, but glad she is ok.5

It doesn’t matter what you’ve got to still lose it’s how much you’ve lost that matters & under difficult circumstances. You’re an inspiration, as I put yet another chocolate muffin in my mouth. At this rate they’ll need a crane to get me out.
Your poor grandma, I would have been terrified especially under these circumstances. Glad she’s all sorted now.
I hope you’re coping with this staying in lark. Most exciting thing to look forward to is the Easter bunny. Hope you eat as small amount.5 -
A small amount of chocolate I meant though I think everyone needs copious amounts of chocolate at the moment.5

Oh bless your grandma 💕 Must be so difficult for her. Well done on another 1lb gone, not easy in these times xxI get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)4

Happy Easter all!The boys did the egg hunt I’d laid out for them this morning. They really need to learn how to read poems so they actually rhyme though!! I *may* have added fuel to DS2’s belief that I am indeed the Easter Bunny by knowing how they should ‘go’
. They have 9 eggs between them, with ones from family added in. I’m avoiding them so far. If I start, I may not stop

My Grandma is in good spirits today and can see the funny side of Good Friday’s shenanigans. The firemen phoned yesterday to check on her. She put her wet mops through the handles on her bin to dry out, and when she went back for them the bin men had been and taken them

No sun here today, so have been tackling the ironing pile that I’ve built up while being able to peg out over the last week. Having a day off from painting/decorating though as we ran out of white spirit yesterday so can wash any brushes/rollers.Debts @ LBM £23,729.31. Debts @ 08/04/2016 £0 :j

Happy Friday M2G.
Only lost half a pound this week which was a disappointment. Still got a pound to go for my 3.5 stone award.I’ve been walking Oakley every day but it’s 4 weeks now, so maybe I’ve got used to that amount of exercise. From today I’ve started going that little bit further in the hopes of spurring on my weight loss again. I also maybe shouldn’t sit on the sofa and binge watch 7 hours of Tiger King over 2 days either.
I’ve won a £50 Amazon gift card. Great timing for needing puppy stuff. I’ve also ordered a clipping/grooming kit using vouchers earned through Sw@gbucks. Going forward I can’t afford two lots of grooming fees, so hoping I can learn through YooToob!
DS1’s school have started the free school meals vouchers too, so I’m getting 2 x £15 Tesco vouchers per week now. This is a massive help. Has anyone else noticed their shopping bills have drastically increased for what seems like a lot less produce?.
