Hit by the bugs :(

Not been feeling great the last couple of days, think the bug has caught up with me, although I think I am doing a good job of fighting it..... not feeling good at all but no way near as bad as Andy was ;)....

Had a red day yesterday, muller and fruit for brekkie, chicken salad sandwich for lunch and syn free sausage, peas and HE B sw chips for tea.... Andy wasnt well yesterday so it was down to me to make the pancakes, and I have to say I suitably impressed not only the kids but me too... was a fab tosser, say no more :P and the pancakes were scrump-diddly-umptious..... ;) - had two ickle ones, made mine with skimmed milk tho... and fry light....

Today have hardly eaten anything, was sick a few times last night, but thought that was it.... tried to have a muller for brekkie, had a couple of cold sausage, 3 krispbreads with jam..... and bacon and HE B bread for tea... am finding it very hard feeling ill and being ill and still trying to keep to SW..... so not sure how well I have done this week... I know I should forget SW whilst Im not feeling well... but dont want to undo what I have done so far IYKWIM.... :(

Hopefully will be feeling a little better tomorrow :)

Enough about the sickie bug, have also caught the card making bug again too, have decided to start making cards again, and I am really enjoying it... have been playing with my cuttlebug dies and stamps and putting cards together.... not feeling so great now again so going to stop for tonight but will hopefully be back real soon with some piccies of what I have been up to... Have jsut found some stamps that I NEED.... they are called Sugar Nellies and they are just so adorable.... here's apeek :P

Doing the Happy Dance.....

I lost 3 lbs this week ... woo hoo Happy Dance time- so thats 11lbs in 4 weeks now...... ;)

Andy and Nic are poorly with a dreaded sickness bug so had them both at home today,its been quite good tho as Nic has kept Andy company upstairs and I have been able to hide downstairs away from the germs..... Mike, Emily,Paul and Ann have also got it :(....

Have had a busy day today, running up and down stairs to get drinks, and popping to the shop for lucozade :P

Had an almond croissant for brekkie today as my treat with a nice cup of coffee yum.... straight back to it tho, red day today, chicken, lettuce and roll for lunch with muller and half bag of crisp 2.5 syns, tea was HE A cheese on mushrooms, with bbq skewer chicken, roast butternut, rocket, tom and beetroot... yummy.... and choccie treat tonight...... will have gone over my syns with brekkie.. but it was a treat..... ;)

Here's hoping for a good loss again next week... have promised to buy myself a Mumjii doll as my treat for loosing a stone..... so not long to go - hopefully will be going to choose one on Monday ;)

Off to bed now, after a very disturbed night last night with Andy getting in and out of bed all the time, am in need of sleep.....

Nite all x

Officially a Trolley Dolly :P

Im now 'apparently' officially old and embarrassing to be seen with :( Why you might ask, well I am now the proud owner of a Trolley :P I got it at the show today.... and I think its great, its pink with spots and has got fold out wheels at the bottom, and folds up to a small package, I thought it would be fantastic to use on our trips to Waitrose when we always buy too much shopping and then have to struggle home with it all. I was however picked on immensly by all the 'girls', Rachel, Emily, Ann, Jen and even Mary (who I have to add nearly bought one:P), I think its great tho........ even tho the 'girls' walked 5 paces behind me.... when I was using it.... Jen took a piccie of me, so I will share it with you as soon as I can ;) Just been for a visit to Jen's blog, knew it would be on there - thanks Jen, so here is my new bag - awful piccie of me tho.... but you get the idea :P



Well I was very saintly today, took my own lunch to the show, and had no naughtiness at all - I had muller,pear and banana for brekkie, alpen light choc bar for mid am snack, couscous, red pepper, toms, chickpeas for lunch, and rice pudding and apple for mid pm snack, and then came home to yummy roast chicken (B portion), roast pots, and lots of veg.... had small piece of eclair - it was 7.5 syns for whole one and I had not quite a third, so will syn it as 2.5 syns and then a wildlife bar as my treat so 8 syns altogether for today.... jsut going to have a munch on some cheese tho as I havent done very well with my As today BUT I am feeling very pleased with myself, lets hope it shows tomorrow on weigh in day ;) keep everything crossed for me.......

Meet my new friend, Carl :P

I have got a new friend, Carl the Cuttlebug, I picked him up on our trip out today - I wasnt going to buy one as although they are great, I just didnt need one as I had a sidekick and a zip-e-mate so really couldnt justify getting another die cutter......... BUT I had to in the end to help out - Rachel was after a die cutter and so was Emily, so I suggested as a joke to begin with, that I would sell them mine, and get a cuttlebug, they thought that was a brill idea, and so we did - I sold my old die cutters that I had and got Carl instead.......

Here he is - my new boy.... and he really is fab... ;)

It snowed ;)

We woke up to a nice shower of icing sugar covering the ground this morning:P I was up and ready nice and early for a Saturday, Andy was at the office today so I got up with him when he was getting ready, but the kids had other ideas, no rushing to get dressed and ready at all so much so that by the time we got outside the icing sugar near our house had gone :( so we took the dogs for a walk in the search of snow, found some on the next side street, so armed with our carrier bag ;) - we filled it with snow and then came back home to build a snowman.... he's only small (just over a ft ) but very cute.... not sure what the neighbours thought with our snow collecting tho :P, the kids had loads of fun...


Food today was, muller and apple for brekkie, cheese sandwich for lunch, with handful of quavers 1.5 syns, and a banana and a pear, and tea was SW chips and turkey burger. Feeling very hungry tonight, so going to use my last A in a mo to make some rice pudding ;) Went to two parties today and was very good.... had celery, cuecumber, olive and a dash of hummous ;) Hoping for a lose on Monday after being such a good girl all week :P Just made some yummy roasted chick pea, forgot just how good they taste :) Off to the GMex tomorrow and have just been very good and made a pack lunch to take, cous cous with carrot, chickpeas and tomato and rice with apple for pud ;) Just off to shine my halo and then bedtime - Nite xx

Sunday I am off to the Gmex with MIL, Rachel, Emily, Jen and Mary.... Shirley went today wasnt impressed.... so we'll see ;)

Have been busy this morning trying to get sorted in the 'room' down the stairs... have managed to shift quite a few boxes and stuff to new homes, spent all morning down there, and I still cant see ay difference :( - Rach, Charl and Cam came round for coffee and a play this afternoon - it was lovely to see them. Charl and Nic played really nicely - and Cam had fun just walking around, his new found hobby :P Nic then had Becca over for tea and a play after school, they had a lovely time, great start to the weekend;)

Breakfast today was a muller and raspberries, lunch was french toast (3 nimble) and more raspberries, and tea was turkey burgers and half a bread roll, and a pear, have had 2 alpen lights today so am half over on a HE B so will take it as syns - only other syns today were mini bag of choc buttons, and a splodge of ketchup - so 9 syns today....

Last Day of Jan...

Cant believe its the last day of January already, this month has flown by - the weather today has been awful, we have had a bit of everything, rain, sun, wind, hail, thunder, lightening and snow..... all in a day, and its really cold too :P

Today was a green day, breakfast was porridge and apple, lunch was a jacket potato and beans followed by a muller and fruit and tea was quorn, pepper,mushroom and tomato lasagne, came up with a fab topping for the lasagne, I melted down 6 laugh cow x triangles in a pan,very slowly, then added a small amount of skim milk - and then poured it on top of the lasagne before putting in the oven... it was delish.

Cant get on UKS tonight :( so have been bust tidying the room down the stairs to make as a craft room for me.... doesnt really look like I have got very far tho, still cant move in there :(
