Meh youngest is so up and down! We went on the school trip and she managed just an hour! Then we couldn't get home for ages and loads of hassle and it was just stressful.
She picked up again this afternoon and we went for a walk to the park.
Everyone is in bed now and I hope they stay that way
Got such a busy weekend of bits of things need doing.

Still so up and down. So weird. She goes from fine to doubled over in a second. Will get it reviewed again on Monday.
Thank you for your well wishes.
Today has been a NSD. The weather has been weird. Dry and bright then dark and the biggest storm in months. We've stayed in and been sorting toys. I'm sure by Monday we'll have a good pile to send off to the charity shop.
Nothing much else to report. I'm skint So bit boring

I totally ruined my fat club plans this week. I had ice cream and chocolate (then spent the whole day and night feeling sick and rubbish as we don't eat dairy anyway) Then today we've had breakfast out and we are out for dinner. Bet I've gained the 9lb back :rollseyes:
DD still up and down and I'm feeling quite fed up with it I feel my patience is wearing thin a little and I feel like a bad mum
We've made fathers day cards and gifts and maybe cake :cool: Remind me again about this tomorrow when I'm crying at the scales!
That's about it really! Still skint still boring
