If you read about my first week with Slimming World then you’ll know that I had a fairly good loss of 3.5lbs which I was over the moon with. This week I was hoping to lose another 3.5lbs in order to get my half stone award. I think after a good loss in my first week I was a little more relaxed and not so strict, and I think it impacted me a bit so I’m right back to strict now. The thing I am worst with is picking at the kids food – so crumbs, leftovers, stealing a morsel …
Cussons Mum & Me #voiceofmums
Bath times are a favourite in our house – well, who doesn’t love a bath? Both boys were not too keen on baths at first and would scream the place down, but now they both absolutely love bath time. J would stay in there all night if he could, even after the water has gone cold – he often stays in there playing once the water has disappeared down the plug hole! If you watch my #voiceofmums video below then you will hear my first memory of baby bath time. This was the day after J was born, in the …
Baked plaice with tomato & basil | Recipe (Slimming World friendly)
Since I’ve seen all of the types of fish I can eat on Slimming World without counting the calories, I’ve decided to become a little more experimental with it! In our house we have ‘Fish Friday’ and it usually consists of scampi, cod/haddock, or mackerel.

One of my recent finds was plaice fillets, to which I added just a couple of simple ingredients which brought the flavour out just a little bit …
Preparing for sharing a bedroom
So we’ve finally made the decision to move the boys into the same bedroom. We knew it would have to happen at some point but have been holding off. We only live in a small 2 bed flat and currently we have the bigger bedroom. If we were to move N into J’s room it just wouldn’t work so we’re going to be swapping our rooms around too (though we won’t be decorating – maybe just a lick of paint – as we hope to move this year anyway! Not that our bedroom has been decorated since we moved in …
Slimming World – my first week and weigh in
As you might have read, I joined Slimming World last week. I was excited yet a little bit nervous as I’ve always weighed in the privacy of my own home before and had a quick hop on the scales during the week! I’m determined not to do that though as obviously our scales will be different. Also I’ve never really been on a plan before, just did my own thing with calorie counting. When I started looking through my pack, I must admit I found it a little bit overwhelming and didn’t know where to start! I decided on writing …
