January UKS Challenge

Here it is, the challenge for this week on UKS>......

Can claim 35 points for the team... woo hoo

Used the sketch 10pts, used new stash (chipboard) 5 pts, used stitching 5 pts, and doodled 5pts.... and 10 pts for the layout so 35 pts - have to confess tho - not to sure about the doodling.... not sure if its a bit busy for me.... anyway see what you think.... here they are..... one with and one without the doodling......

with doodling

without doodling however I reckon I prefer it without the journalling as well...... LOL

Diet Day Seven

Another good diet day today ;) We had a very lazy Sunday morning, had a nice lie in then read the papers and had brekkie.... I had a mullerlight, raspberries and grapes - not the usual scrummy Sunday treat of Waffles - we then chilled for a bit and then ALL went into the Gym, Andy did some exercises with the kids and they went on a couple of the weight machines, Lauren and Nic arent quite tall enough yet to ride the bike but Chloe is... They all had a go on the Cross Trainer, not for long tho.... then it was my go... I had a banging head, still not managed to get rid of the dreaded virus yet, but I did 10 mins on the trainer and burnt over 100 calories, would have done longer but Chloe was waiting for her turn :P

It was then shower time for all and lunch. For lunch I had 2x wholemeal bread (HE B), with laugh cow cheese triangles on, celery and a tomato. It was then time to take Nic to her second party of the weekend, Maddies party. Nic had a great time, we pulled up outside the house and there was a huge horsebox outside, we all thought Maddie was having a riding party, but NO inside it was all kitted out as a wacky warehouse.... the kids had lots of fun playing in there - they then all went in to have their face painted... Nicole chose a butterfly and looked gorgeous, I forgot to take my camera, but my friend took a few pictures for me.

When we got home Andy had been shopping and had the dinner on, he's like a changed man -he made roast duck with apricot stuffing, asparagus, sprout (upon request), brocolli, carrots and roasted butternut, I had a HE B portion of potato too, it was YUM.... then for dessert had another GU brownie (4 syns). Have got a wildlife bar and a diet coke for treat tonight to use up more syns, on another forum I go on there is a SW consultant and she advises that people use ALL their As Bs and Syns up as it helps speed weight loss.... so just doing as Im told :P

Right, got a few jobs to do tonight :(, then was going to try and to a layout for the weekly UKS challenge..... and maybe my front cover for my journal although I do need to have an early night........ we'll see.... I will pop back on later with any piccies if I do get any scrapping done.
