And the headlines today are............

It is still raining here ~ I got the wettest that I have ever been ~ fully clothed ~ while doing the school run this morning!! Then the sun came out for a few hours ~ but the rain was back at 3pm (suprise suprise!!) ~ just in time for the school run again........

There are still No carrots growing in the little tub that the children planted ~ with the amount of rain we have had the last 2 days ~ they have probably all floated away!! I was going to do a weekly update photo of the carrots ~ but it just looks the same as last time ~ just soil ~ plus it is bucketing it down outside (and I have got my Pj's on ~ I know it is only 6pm ~ but I got so wet earlier that I had to get change and they seemed like a good idea!!)......

My total weight loss for this week was.........Nil Nothing nada!!!! I knew that it would happen at some stage ~ after losing 2 and a half stone so quickly (and painlessly ha ha!!!!) ~ I was expecting there to be a week where it went on hold ~ I have lost half a stone over the last 2 weeks ~ so I suppose that there is a limit to what you can go on losing!! never mind ~ onwards I go ~ I am stepping up the power walking and have been doing the fitness DVD every night ~ so next week I expect to lose at least SOMETHING!!!!!!! According to the diet lady that I go and see, it is not uncommon to reach a plateau with weight loss ~ PLATEAU ~ that is a great description, when losing weight sometimes feels like lugging a huge rucksack up a big mountain!!! As long as I don't completely fall back down the mountain ~ I am not bothered ha ha!!!

I am in a much better mood today ~ despite it still being like the middle of winter outside ~ Laurens bed is hopefully coming tomorrow ~ and then the room can finally be all finished ~ Lauren has lots of plans for what she is going to do with the space under her bed ~ and apparently it will be a 'no boy zone!!!'~ which basically means that Dan will be banned (ha ha) ~ I am sure he will not be in the least bit bothered tee hee!!!

I have bought new curtains for the living room and had a quick peek at possible paint combinations at the weekend ~ still undecided about what colours to do ~ but I would really like to crack on and get it done ~ then the whole place has been decorated!! I can then sit back and admire my handy work ~ before starting all over again ha ha!!!

Well ~ that is about all for today ~ more news tomorrow ~ for now I am off to light a few yankee candles and relax in a huge big bubbly bath ~ for oh let me see..... at least 2 hours!! XXXX
