Stacey in the Sticks

After last week’s half expected gain I was determined this week that I was getting that new shiny and I went away from group feeling positive, even though I was 2lb heavier. I think that’s because I knew where it had come from though. I was on plan all week, except for a cinema trip on Saturday when I had popcorn – I did go for Metcalfe’s Skinny though! – and I also had a few of hubby’s Magic Stars. (By the way, we went to see Ghostbusters, and despite my doubts beforehand, I thought it was brilliant; a refreshing change from the male …

Owning a car and remembering tyre safety

by StaceyUpdated on March 6, 2024July 16, 2016

Recently we welcomed a new addition to our family – definitely not a sibling (!), nor a pet, but a car! I have been taking driving lessons since October last year, and I am due to take my driving test very soon. It’s really difficult for me to get about living in the middle of nowhere and I have to rely on hubby when he gets home from work; also, with Jacob starting school in September and school being a 3-mile drive, it really is essential for me.

Slimming World weigh in #72 – the one with the expected…

After last week’s unexpected loss (as it was more than I usually tend to manage), I went away from group feeling confident for this week, although I knew I would be off plan for one meal as it was our wedding anniversary the day before weigh in. I was on it all week though and I was being naughty weighing myself at home to make sure I was on the right track, which was happening. I couldn’t decide what to do for our anniversary, although it was an at home celebration after the boys had gone to bed as we didn’t have …

A Garden Makeover and Growing Our Own

by StaceyUpdated on July 11, 2016July 11, 2016

When we moved into our new (to us) home last September we knew we had a lot of work to do, both in the house and with the land outside. We inherited a lot of land (including two gardens and another large grassed area), but unfortunately came a lot of junk too which we are still trying to clear – I imagine we will still be doing that this time next year! The main thing I wanted to sort out though was the back garden, as the back door is the one we use most so it is a focal point, and …

June Degustabox | Subscription box review

by StaceyUpdated on August 7, 2016July 8, 2016

Ever since I heard of Degustabox some time last year, I have been dying to try one. I mean, who doesn’t love a surprise box of food delivered to their door, once a month, for a cost less than you would pay in the shops? In a Degustabox you will receive 10-15 products, some of which are new to the market so you will be one of the first to try them, and you may even find something new that you love! I have to admit, I almost jumped for joy when I was asked if I would like to try the Degustabox …
