Slimming World weigh in #51 – the one where I’m back in the zone…

by StaceyUpdated on February 6, 2016February 7, 2016

After my weigh in last week and being rather disappointed with myself, I was determined I was going to go for it this week as I am desperate to get back to that pre-Christmas weight. I “only” gained 6lb over Christmas and New Year yet here I am, the beginning of February and still I haven’t lost it all! I think I just hadn’t been able to get back into the zone after the festive excesses, but now we have a holiday booked it has given me something to aim for to get to target. I had been pretty much on plan …

As I became more able to make my own decisions on the glasses I would like to wear, it became easier with the vast amount of styles available to try on. With the opening of websites where you are now able to purchase glasses from the comfort of your own home, there is more choice than ever; especially as you can give your preferences and they will do most of the hard …

Slimming World weigh in #50 – the one where I hit a brick wall again…

by StaceyUpdated on February 6, 2016January 29, 2016

After having a pretty good weigh in last week I was determined to try and get that other 3lb off this week in order to get back to my pre Christmas weight. It doesn’t seem so hard in the grand scheme of things, does it? I was actually doing okay for the couple of days after weigh in, then I hit rock bottom emotionally and ate all kinds of junk. Just some of it being a Chinese takeout, half a layer of a box of Thorntons chocolates, and half a bag of sharing M&M’s – yes, that bad. It was those …

Do bloggers move house for freebies?

by StaceyUpdated on August 12, 2017January 26, 2016

Very recently there has been a blog post that has got people bloggers all up in arms – all about whether bloggers have babies just to get freebies. I’m not going to link as we don’t want HIM to get the traffic do we? (Just search on twitter instead). Anyyyyyway…. It got me to thinking, do bloggers move house just to get freebies? I mean, I see LOTS of blogs reviewing homewares, some of them very expensive ones at that. Before they even move (like about 64 times in the last 3 years like that Rachel over at Parenthood Highs …
