    I didnt mean you wanted the fame I just meant I wouldnt like to do it again and SA is right your story should be told. I am sorry if it came over as being critical because it definitely wasnt meant that way, more admiration for having the guts to do it.  Good luck and I hope the boys enjoy the experience.

    Your weight loss is amazing. I stand in awe. You deserve all the fame for that whether you want it or not. 😊

  • Well, we watched Martin’s show tonight with a little sense of relief if I’m honest. It was nice to just enjoy the show without worrying what we’d look like  ;). Looking forward to being a part of it later on in the year though.

    I have agreed to be in Take A Break magazine because of my weight loss  B). Haven’t heard from the local paper, but TAB offered £200 so I couldn’t say no!! Will update when I know more details next week re issue dates etc. 

    DH and I have painted the kitchen yesterday and today. It’s white again! It was supposed to be white anyway, but it’s amazing how non-white it actually was compared to the fresh paint. It’s made such a big difference for £18 and some hard work!

    Well done on the TAB article. I wondered if you’d get in a magazine. Also well done on the painting which has reminded me ours need a lick of paint, meant to be Cornish Ice Cream colour but it’s been up for 4 years and looks a bit grubby now.
