    Evening all, thanks for your good wishes. Soon after I posted last night I threw up, and can I just say pulled pork looks exactly the same on the way out as on the way in :o:o

    I had a really good nights sleep though and was less congested once I'd been sick, so actually felt a lot better. Work today was fine, a normal busy friday but at least it's now the weekend :D

    Ds is going to his Dads in half an hour, tonight I'm doing some housework and chilling. Mr S was going to come round but he's working in the morning and has to be up at 6 and I want a lie-in, so we decided to leave it for tonight and I'll see him tomorrow instead.

    I have just won a tenner on a slot offer I was emailed, so at least the money is coming in again :)

    Hello all, I've had a very lazy weekend, Mr S came round yesterday and we watched the footie, Bournemouth did very well - sorry Hypno if you happen to be about :D - I still felt pretty yuck though so most of the day was spent on the sofa. Today I have done the ironing, tidied up and changed the beds, took Mr S home a couple of hours ago and the plan for the rest of the day involves some schoolwork, sorting out my new calendar (a Gruffalo family planner one that was reduced to £3), doing a tax credits claim and chasing my council tax - when Mr S moved in I let them know straight away and they adjusted my payments (I lost the single adult 25% discount). When he moved out I told them straight away (end of October) and have emailed them twice since to chase it and still haven't heard anything - doesn't exactly encouragee you to tell them of a change in circumstances does it :cool:

    Ds should be back from his Dads any minute and then all will be right with the world again :)

    Evening all, do you remember a couple of weeks ago I said I was getting my eating / exercise back on track, hmm .... well I decided to try again this morning. So I weighed myself (up to 11 stone 7:eek:), put on my new fitbit and have not stuffed my face all day like normal :o I didn't make it to kettlebells though, a meeting overran tonight at work but I do have a spinning class booked on wednesday.

    Not much else to report today, I'm going to have a bath in a minute in an attempt to warm up, have been freezing all day today. Then it will be catch up with the laptop time for the rest of the evening :)

    I really need to start watching what I eat but I just can't, trying to tell myself I have a toddler, that allows me to eat rubbish!

    I can do exercise, eating better i can't!
