Once again I never managed to write an update last week, though in the last one I did write, I said I felt like I was back in the game. Well. Until last week that was. When I had a monumental gain of 2lb! I know it’s not a lot really, but I was quite annoyed with myself that I was doing so well again and I sabotaged myself that week by eating maybe a few more naughty things than I should have. I went away from group that night with my line drawn, my positive head screwed on, and I was …
Recipe – Blueberry & cinnamon muffins
Everybody loves a nice muffin, right? I may be in the minority but I prefer a fruity one to a chocolaty one. First of all, it’s healthier as it has fruit in, yes? Secondly, it’s so delicious biting into it and tasting the juicy fruit, and it looks so good oozing from the top. I love baking muffins as well as eating them, there are so many wonderful combinations and they can be made even healthier for children too but they still think they are getting a treat. And the smell; the smell when baking them – amazing! Actually right …
BabySteps Scratch-Off calendar | Giveaway (CLOSED)
At the moment we are two babies up (plus our angel of course) with no plans for more in the foreseeable future. Don’t get me wrong, I love babies, I really do – otherwise I wouldn’t have had any… – but in a kind of bittersweet way I am glad that the baby days are ending and we can have so many adventures together now. I do occasionally get broody, but if I get really desperate I could just borrow a baby, right? I don’t think there is ever a time when one of my friends is not pregnant; so many …
Slimming World weigh in #40 – the one where I’m back in the game…
Once again, it’s been a few weeks since I posted my last update. Since then, I’ve been sticking to writing everything down – even if I know it’s over my syns, as I’ve wanted to be completely accountable to myself. I have had a few occasions when I have been quite naughty with snacking but apart from that I have been pretty much on plan. This might have been helped by the fact that I sat down with my magazines and recipes I have saved, and wrote down a whole month of evening meals in order to make meal planning …
Review – Ideal Home Show at Christmas
I shared with you last week some information about the Ideal Home Show at Christmas and after waiting rather (im)patiently all week, on Thursday we finally made the trip to Manchester to start off our Christmas adventures! I had originally booked a train for the unworthy hour of 7am, I was going to take J with me, and hubby was going to stay at home with N. But when we got to the station…the train had been cancelled! (So glad I got insurance on that ticket). Cue me getting upset because I had promised J a journey on the train and …
