I'm so cold today - just had beans on toast to warm me up.

Hello Everyone!
I am finally back after being AWOL for the last couple of weeks (I think or maybe its just been 1).

My chickenpox scars are still around and DD2 caught it, DD1 still on "pox" watch another 2 weeks incase she got infected by DD2.
Good news – I passed my Driving Theory test on Thursday :j – sad but I am so chuffed with myself! I am still able to retain information, thought they had taken my brain out when the littles were born.

JillD – what day is weight in day?? My target is to loose 2lb per week upto the 20th June – so 26lbs in total. Will then see how I feel and maybe set another target then – don’t want to get ahead of myself.

Johanne = agree with the comments about the nursery. We had our decorated for DD1 before she was born but she slept in our room until she was 5 months old (due to breast feeding it was easier). So don’t stress about that, and keep an eye out of Freecycle (or post a request) for a cot/moses basket.

Michelle – hope your taking things easy too! (wags finger)

Am at work today (boo hoo) but there is so much I wanna get done at home and as DH is on holiday this week we plan to get stuff sorted. Need to rearrange garage so we can get treadmill up and running (no pun intended) as that should help with reducing the fat bum.
We had about 3 inches of snow yesterday. It was great fun, we all went out and built snow bunnies and have snowball fights. After about an hour and half came back in and girls had a bath and hot chocolate. By mid afternoon all the snow had disappeared – fantastic!

Right off to make a coffee - had 2 phonecalls to deal with so far today, how thrilling:rolleyes:

I dont believe it! First flylady week.. first day... sparkly kitchen expected by the end of it... i had just done the rest of my list so was coming back here to cross them all off about 15 mins ago when my dad turned up and announced he wasnt going to do the DIY work on the nursery like id expected but wanted to do more on the kitchen! Including MORE plastering after chiselling out a whole walls worth of old stuff!! :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: So im sat here now listening to the sound of hammering/chiseling/falling plaster and laughing to myself at the irony that my kitchen is now once again a building site literally...... on the day it should be shining bright! :rotfl: :rotfl:

(cant really complain though, as my dad is actually my landlord too!! And ive been living here for over a year now with crumbling bare plaster walls, and no wall tiles or flooring in the kitchen. So the fact hes actually getting round to doing the work 2 years almost after it was started is an achievement!! So must not complain :silenced: )

Well done Shell!

Now... how long till the big test? :T


Right, kitchen is sparkly, just have the fridge to clean out and the floor to do. Bunged soem red peppers in the oven to roast for a nice healthy pasta lunch (see weight loss starting) and I am going to make up a Loose Weight And Get Healthy Plan using some stuff I found on AOL. I will share it when it's done.

JillD I got mine in Argos they don't do the same one now as mine has 3 sections, but they do a 2 section one. I'm going to get the seagrass one when mine drops to bits http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Browse/catalogId/1500001001/identifier/9554044/languageId/-1/Trail/C%24cip%3D1500010851%3EC%24cip%3D1500010870%3EC%24cip%3D1500010877.htm

Shell, well done!!!

Johanne, at least somethings being done, maybe he'll tidy it up for you afterwards

Right, DP not up yet, wanted to be up at 10.30am and I am sick of shouting him. He's on about going to work today aswell so yes that means every day the kids have been off he's gone to work, bit annoying but at least he's not sat about doing nothing and wanting to watch other things on tele, yesterday put the grandprix on he'd recorded so they couldn't watch the flim they wanted to see then sat on the laptop through it all, grr!! I had thought the snow had gone until 10 minutes ago when it started again so looks like the wash load I have just put in is staying inside.

So far I have cleaned the floors (all of downstairs) and the hob has been scrubbed, erm, that's about all so far
