Smile a Day.....

Some of the chicks on the team were feeling down yesterday, must be something in the air, as I was too..... I saw Helen and she was feeling down too - we reckon its the weather... anywho - we have decided to write down a 'thing' a day to cheer us up - either something that has made us smile or something to be thankful for....... so here goes...

Have got two for today.....

1st smile was a post by Rach on the team thread... it was her 6,000 post and made me giggle. she sang Happy 6,000 post to herself and then give a speech of thanks - sooo funnny....

2nd smile was on UKS again, Jen was saying about her scarf wearing and it appears that teenager Tich has given her a hickey on her neck - so I was saying about wearing a snood to cover it and it will take her back to her teens..... so she asked if I had one - so I googled a picture and the first page of pictures were of dogs in snoods.... SO funny

and this one..... Ann Summers style Snood :O

and lastly Mutt with Perm and Snood

Fab weekend......

Elaine,Simon and Jonathan came to stay for the weekend and brought little Millie with them too, she was very good, Copper and Pippin are exhausted today tho and have spent most of the day sleeping after playing with Millie all weekend and not getting any peace and quiet to snooze;)

Had a lovely weekend, Helen,Keith and and the girls came over too and we had a lovely time, just like the old days, the kids all played nicely together, we went on a lovely walk on Saturday and then chilled on Sunday.... had a competition on the Wii with Mario Olympics for the adults on Saturday night..... it was fun, the lads were very competitive tho;) I decided after last weekends takeaway and me putting a lb on that I would do the cooking... Andy made homemade lemon meringue on Sunday and custard icecream which was very yummy.....

Weighed in today and had lost 2lbs.... very chuffed...... after this weeks lose (yep I counting on another lose :P) I will eventually be back under the next stone like I was before the new scales arrived ;) so I need to stay nice and motiviated...... am going to have a think of some yummy things to have for tea......

Nicole has started a swimming course, Little Dippers, as is doing fab, her next session is tomorrow, last week she was swimming with just a woggle and using her arms and legs... so proud of her :)

Had a lovely mothers day...... was very spolit, got chocolate, beautiful necklace, truffles, Help voucher book and a lovely Momijji doll which the girls chose for me..... to addto my collection...

Here she is......

3 New Fishes....

Nearly forgot to tell you :P We got 3 new little fish yesterday, very cute, they have moved in with our exisiting fish and all seem to be getting on very well ;) No fighting at all.... they all look very happy... and the girls are so pleased with them.

Earthquake

Well the earth certainly moved for me last night.... oh er misus :P

We had an earthquake, the biggest for 25 years.... hit 5.2 on the ricta scale..... it was jsut before 1am and the whole bed, room, cupboards, ornaments shook.... scary..... Chloe woke up and came running into our room, Lauren and Nicole however slept thru it.......

Been a bit of a bad blogger at the moment, dont seem to have 5 mins, have been working at the office all last week while Nic was at school, and worked Monday this week.... have got today off to catch up with jobs and meetings tomorrow and Fri morning ;).... have got Elaine, Simon,Jonathan and Millie coming to stay for the weekend, really looking forward to it :)

Its crop night tonight, so might not get on the computer later, seem to be so tired at the moment, so am trying to get to bed earlier......

Diet is going OK, had a weekend off tho, had lost 1 lb on friday BUT after the weekend of having chinese, proper sunday lunch and dessert on weigh in on Monday had put 1 lb on ...... didnt particularly enjoy the chinese which makes it even worse :P, am being very good this week.... and am even going to cook for everyone at the weekend rather than getting a takeaway...

Right, got to go, domestic duties call....... xx
