You may have read last month that we were making preparations to move the boys into the same bedroom. Our main reason for this was – and maybe it was a bit selfish on our part – that we wanted our bedroom back! After having a child in there for nearly three years (in a cot, and then a co-sleeping toddler until N was born) we just wanted ‘our’ bit of space back. It meant us giving up the biggest bedroom but that was a fair sacrifice to make! When the day came, my brother-in-law came to help with the swapping …
Salt and pepper chips | Recipe (Slimming World friendly)
One of my favourite ever Chinese takeaway dishes is salt and pepper chips – I could eat a carton of them to myself and I often get cravings for them, and whenever we do go down the naughty route and actually have a takeaway, I always order these – they are just so good! With doing Slimming World I could have them but they would be a great almighty number of syns! I had a really bad craving for them one night but I wanted to stay on plan, so I thought I’d attempt my own salt and pepper chips; they were really …
Slimming World – weigh in #5
As you may have seen in my last weigh in update, I finally got my half stone award after four weigh ins. I was absolutely ecstatic as I think over the many years and attempts of trying to lose weight, that is the best I have ever done.

So, to my …
Slimming World – half a stone gone!
If you saw my last SW weigh in update you will know that I didn’t quite manage to get my half stone award even though I’d been hankering after it all week – although happy at 1.5lb loss I was a bit annoyed at myself as I was only half a pound away! So I was determined to get it this week – even though we had our first cake club meeting on Friday night but I saved my syns from the previous day, that day and the day after to be cautious (although I think if I had maintained it would …
Little man N at 11 months old
So this is the last of N’s updates before he turns one year old. That’s right, at the next update I will have written a whole year of updates for my youngest baby. Who will no longer be a baby. (Sad face. Though don’t take that as a hint at any more babies – no thanks!). As I mentioned in his ten month update he was due to be weighed at his ‘routine health check’ which I wrote about here along with a rant about the health visitor. He weighed 24lb 8oz meaning he had only gained 7oz since his last weigh in, …
