Hi all

Kids still at home today and big battles with DD. She is a law unto herself and is so difficult to deal with. Managed to resist smacking her when I saw her kick the dog so have banished her to her room, then discovered she had glued stuff all over her wall :mad: . Think she realised I was serious when i took her lunch up to her, as she came down to apologise. Apologies all the time arent good enough any more tho', her behavious HAS to change and she has to show some respect. It leaves me feeling really low. Havent even started my list but have managed several cups of coffee and sewn a few labels in her new school clothes, Oh and cleaned out as best as I can the brand new shoes that were some how full of glitter - dont you just hate that stuff.

Any dieters - how do you stick to it, I find it impossible. Thats why I feel so low knowing I have to diet.

Sorry you're having such a tough time at the moment Kaz ( i would send you a hug if i knew how):o

As for dieting i'm on week 3 so far and today i'm really struggling I've lost 11lbs and only had one bad day so far.

I think you have to be ready to do it, i had to be in the right mindset or i wouldn't of lastest a day.:rolleyes:

I find when i want to be bad i try to talk myself out of it i think about what i want to achieve and that as kept me on the right track so far.

I am really feeling like a blow out today i just want to eat but i'm going to gave myself a talking to and i should be ok.

Hugs to those who need them, especially pigpen, kazmeister and maralum.

Am on lunchbreak at work at the mo, and have 10 mins left, so just about have a chance to write to you all.

Managed to get a lot done in the kitchen last night, even shining the sink, and the microfibre cloth was unrecognisable when I rinsed it out this morning. Hopefully it should all smell a lot fresher now. Will be off to buy catfood after work at our local farmshop, and then should just about have a few minutes to clean the living room and hall before OH gets home (depending on the traffic). Dinner at MIL's tonight, so I don't have to cook. Yay!

Have been doing lots of filing at work today, which has given my eyes a break, as the data entry can make them go blurry. Well, off to get a cuppa now to keep me going for a couple of hours, then I've got a chocolate frijj in the fridge to have as a treat at 4, to get me through the last hour.

Happy flying everyone!

I am getting a baby wipe and going to 'wipe the world' ... I do keep looking at the half stripped wall in the loo with a gleam in my eye so that will be naked in the next few days.. THEN I am going to learn how to use the orbital sander.. hopefully without killing myself!! that will be another few bits off my list..

I've asked my sis to have the brood while I go collect DS2 as well.. so that will be one less chore. I need to nip in BHS and get DD1 some plain blue poploshirts as well.. seeing as we can't get the proper school ones she has permission to wear plain blue ones as her old ones hurt her boobs they are so tight plus they are above her waist!!!! She has worn them for the last 2 years so we have had our money's worth, and I'll save them for DD2 next year!!

Yay!! Another bid on ebay.. £133.16 now.. *grin* that'll pay some off the credit card!!

Good afternoon Kids went to school without a hitch, DS1 was screaming 'dress me or will be late' and was very keen on going to his new school, so much so he got up 6 times through the night to make sure he haddn't slept in then was up from 6am, when the driver arrived he was doing 'tigger' with excitement. So me being up until about 3am wasn't worth it, will of course have to see how it went when he gets home, fingers crossed. I hope all those who are returning or starting school have had a good day and we're all worried over nothing.

I would have posted earlier but a police officer came about Sunday's incident with the car then went out car hunting. Got my heart sort of set on a Zafira but got to see if the finance goes through, as DP is self employed I'm doubtful It's a really good deal aswell, just got to wait for the call. Does mean a debt but interest is low and can pay it off sooner. Also stopped me having the urge to ring the school and see how DS1 is.

Anyway, given that lot I've not done much, going to post tomorrows list in a mo as usual we're out tonight, better early than very late I've got an hour before I have to pick them up from school so best go and do something, dining table is a bombs site of paperwork as I couldn't find one of the forms DS1 needed for school
