My 1st Layout of 2008 ;)

Well here it is...

My first layout of 2008. Rach came round last night and we did some scrapping, it was really nice to have some company to scrap with... we had a lovely evening and both managed to get a layout completed.... we did a mini cybercrop with the Chock Chick teamies, we chose a sketch to do and all worked from it.

I seem to have lost my mojo a bit a the moment so it feels good that I have done a layout AND I actually like it :)

Diet Day Five

VERY proud of myself today...... went shopping into Stockport this morning with my friend, didnt stop and have a Starbucks brekkie - just hit the shops straight away - had museli before I took the kids to school so I wouldnt be straving - so was very proud of myself.... just before we left to come home... my friend wanted to go McDs... well the smell in there was just so tempting... my friend devoured two burgers.... and me - I had nothing :) (2nd proud moment) and came home and had SW mag Minestrone soup, 6 crackerbreads and 3 laugh cow Xtra lights.... some grapes and a pear.... third proud moment was this afternoon when I went to meet another friend for coffee at Costa, was VERY good again and just had a coffee.... no cakes/pastries or anything and no high fat yummy coffees either :) so feeling very proud of myself too..... :) for tea I had SW chips and baked beans.... and then a pear and a Mullerlight for dessert. Have got a wildlife bar (5.5 syns) and a can of diet coke for my treat when I have put the girls to bed...... Andrew is out at the Rugby tonight.... so my friend Rach is coming round later to have a mini crop along with my Choccie teamies.... :) this MAY be my 2nd scrapping of 2008..... MAY be I said.... we are known to chat chat chat :P

Diet Day Four

Another good day (*insert polishing halo smilie:P*)..... today was a red day... not done many red days before - for brekkie had a Shape Lasting Satisfaction yoghurt and a pear and a few blueberries. Lunch was HE A Cheese on one slice and tomatoes on the other slice of 2 x Wholemeal HE B - followed by Toffee Mullerlight and an apple. Then for tea I made the shepherds pie from the Jan/Feb 08 SW mag and had it with sprouts, more carrots, and green beans... it was yum. Had a toblerone as a treat (9 syns) and a coffee. Think thats it. I drank lots of water too....

Crop Night....

Just managed to get on the laptop, DH had been hogging it.... :( - tonight was crop night, and I was a busy little bunny.... managed to finish my Christmas CD mailer book - all but sticking in the piccies (which I need to get printed) and doing the journalling..... so was very pleased.... this is the first scrapping I have done this year :)

Now for the diet.... another good day.... today was a green day - had a Shape lasting satisfaction yoghurt for breakfast and a large handful of blueberries along with a coffee and 1 pagen Krisproll. Then lunch was baked beans, boiled eggs and 3 quorn sausages. Snacks have been a babybel light, 2 crispbread (not sure if I have the right ones, the only ones I could get were wholemeal ones but they are the same syn value as high fibre ones so hope they are OK - if not they are only 1 syn each!) and a laugh cow x light triangle. Then for tea I made the Minestrone soup from the new SW mag... it was yummy - had a bowl of soup and one slice of wholemeal bread and dessert was a large pear..... I have been a litte bit naughty today.... and was feeling a bit sickly this afternoon so when my friend offered me a ginger cookie, I couldnt resist.... but I will have it as my syns for the day (along with the 3 little kinder friends which I will syn tomorrow).... besides that been very good, no diet coke either, just no sugar squash and a coffee, well two :P.....



Right I am now off to bed... was hoping for an early night... as finding it VERY hard getting up in the mornings for the school run.... its not going to be an early night tho :( so better go - Nite all x

Diet Day Two....

Well another good day today :) - today was a red day - had chopped pear, apple and a shape lasting satisfaction yoghurt for brekkie and a coffee with a krisproll, then off to mini movers - was very good no lunch - just had a coffee - and no tea-cake, then popped to the shops to grab some bits for tea but ended up popping into the clothes shop next door for lots of bargains :P and arrived home very late for lunch, was very impressed with myself that I hadnt grabbed something whilst I was out as I was starving... for lunch I had one slice of wholemeal bread, salad leaves, king prawns and fat free thousand island dressing, x1 babybel light, and a mango, then for tea had roast chicken, green beans, carrots, sprouts and a HE B size jacket pot - yum yum yum..... the kids had delish cookies for dessert but I resisted and just had a small crumb..... and I have had a slither (and I mean a slither) of Xmas cake which my friend had made, and left the icing too..... so feeling very angelic..... lets hope it continues......

Diet Day One....

Well today was diet day one....... a green day - have been really good all day (polishes halo...:P), had a mullerlight and a pear for breakfast and a coffee (and no biccies...;)) and then after monster cleaning/tidying and dog walking and a trip to Tesco for Healthy food..... I then had cous cous, red pepper and chickpeas for lunch, followed by another pear. For hometime from school snack I had one Krisproll and a extra light laugh cow triangle. For tea had savoury rice and hard boiled eggs (sounds awful but was really yummy and as Andrew is away didnt feel like cooking just for me :() and then to use up some HE B I am going to have 2 slices of wholemeal bread as french toast with raspberries and blueberries... yum yum..... and if nothing else falls into my mouth - today should be a syn free day..... have also tried to drink lots of water and havent had any diet coke yet either..... might treat myself to one with my french toast tho......

I then need to get ready for our team cybercrop tonight.... 8.30pm..... I am going to try and get started on my A-Z album.... here's hoping... havent managed to get any scrapping done since Christmas, just havent found any ME time so hoping tonight I can have a little play :) Better get a wriggle on... only got 20 mins to cook french toast and get set and ready.... will be back later :)

Party

Party day today :) the first party of 2008. Nicole went to her friend, Wills, 4th birthday party.... it was Lucia.... the Entertainer... and she was fab :) Nicole even wore her new 'Sleeping Beauty' dress and fur shrug that she had for Xmas... she looked like a princess. Chloe came along too and kept Nicole company. They had a great time.

Nicole had lots to eat when the party food came out too.... and insisted on sharing her cheese and pineapple hedgy with me! She loves the cheese but not the pineapple.... :P

After the party it was time to get the Xmas decorations all down and packed away.... Lauren and Andrew had been busy taking them down while we were at the party.... and cooking a roast for tea too.....

Back to school tomorrow... all uniforms are ready, ironed, everything packed and fingers crossed we will all be up early and at school on time.... this holiday seems to have gone very quickly and I am actually sad that the girls are back at school already.... its nice having them at home.... and especially nice not having the morning rush and the daily clock watching :(
