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?

Other than a random three or four posts over the last couple of weeks, you may or may not have noticed that I have been a bit AWOL from blogging (again – that’s twice this year!). The reason being – we moved house, and it has been a completely different lifestyle change for us. We’ve moved into what was my in laws house; so we have gone from a small 2 bed flat in a town, surrounded by what I can only describe as ‘unsavoury’ neighbours who we have had endless problems with over the last year, to a large …

If you read my update from last week, then you’ll know that I was aiming for my Club 10 but didn’t quite make it, the same as the week before; so I was determined to get it this week! Though I can’t say, I stayed on plan all week.

When I was pregnant with J I never read any ‘parenting’ books – there were just so many on the market and it was a bit overwhelming. I’d had lots of advice from friends, and I knew I had lots to go to for advice once he had arrived. I’d heard of lots of parenting ‘experts’ and their books though and there were many differing opinions on all of them – I decided that we’d just go with the flow and we’d get it, somehow! When we came home from the hospital though I joked that I wish they’d sent us …
