Today am going to be very good ok! 7.10am and it's raining. Everyone is getting up so had better go do breakfast.
Oh yeah, J has dyed his hair brown/black and it looks great. I liked the pink but I always think the darker colours suit him better.

9am - Have walked R to school (She was on her bike), have houvered front room and have cleaned kitchen!
Tidy kitchen
R cycling, me walking
It was piddling down with rain, but I actually love walking in the rain, this is the walk home from school
I love the blossom on the trees, it is so pretty. The walk home from school is a pretty walk even though it is a busy road.

2pm - Judith came round for a few cups of tea which was nice, we had a great natter.
I actually had my lunch ay 11.30am as was v hungry. Am going to meet R from school shortly, gotta finish off watching City Lights first (Robson Green)!

10.15pm, bugger all on tv, just finished watching Ashes to Ashes. Am pleased with how I have done on the 'diet' today, well, apart from the cheese and a slice of toasy which HEY is not that bad. Think I'll try and get to sleep shortly as am in work tomorrow.

Flipping heck I was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO hungry when I got home. I was doing bacon for the kids and well, put it this way, they never got it. I had a yummy 3 slice of bread - bacon sandwich! Now they are having beans, scampi and waffles!
Am a bit bored with this 2 week plan already, but will keep going as long as I can as am only on Day 3

Feck - had 2 weight watchers cornetto ice-creams (Neil didn't want his). And in the evening I ate a HUGE piece of chocolate gateau.....mmmmmm it was nice. Feel very guilty, felt very bloated. Still, I will do better tomorrow, am not going to give up.

I bought a hair lightner and OMG my hair is ORANGE, R and J laughed so! J took a pic of it. Bloody hell, ORANGE. Sodding hell why didn;t I leave it alone. Neil has had to dash off (10.30pm) to Sainsburys to get me something to darken it. Will I never learn!

11pm Neil got me a non amonia Castings dye (latte colour). Gotta leave it on 20 minutes. Heaven knows what colour my hair is going to turn out? Daft thing is, a few people have said in work recently they liked my hair (it was quite red) but of course silly me gotta change it again. I had a highlighter kit and it WAS VERY ORANGE.

On a good note, I did manage to walk to work this morning again and will do so tomorrow.

 Thursday 30th April

Work was, well work and went ok. Feel v bloated today as have been eating badly (is very easy to do).
Am getting weighed tomorrow (in work) and can you hear me laughing/crying! Not to worry, spoke to a few of the nurses (as I confessed my not so good eating for the week) and guess what - they did the same!!!!!!
So, tomorrow is another NEW START for us all, yep, we are doing our own weigh-in each week and we make the rules!!!!!!!!!!

Did 2 hours dancing last night and tried to put MAXIMUM effort into the moves (not easy on the slower line dances, you just end up looking a bit too enthusiastic/weird)...still, huffed and puffed in a few of them (think of those calories burnt). When we do these little hop things/steps, I hopped higher than I normally might (bit of Ooomph to burn more cals), trouble is when I landed the rest of the class were then 5 dance steps ahead of me!

 Friday 1st May 2009

Well everyone - I walked half way to work this morning or rather got dropped half way there and walked the rest of the way. I got weighed in work

Weight - 10 st 8 lbs (148 lbs)
Loss - 3 lbs
Loss so far - 3 lbs

YIPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. And Vicki lost 4 lbs which is brill.

Ohhh did I tell you I am going along to Unity Theatre in Liverpool on 9th May, I am ushering for the evening at a comedy festival. The theatre has a core of about 100 helpers who 'usher' at the different events/shows etc. One of the nurses in work said she wanted to do it and I said I would too, so we have our names down for this event. I spoke to the bloke organising 'helpers' and YIPPPEEEEE they want us. We get to waer one of their t-shirts too, so I am going to wear black trousers and their t-shirt. I am rather looking forward to it. I love helping out doing stuff and this sounds like fun/interesting/enjoyable.

 Saturday 2nd May

Had a nice day today.
Neil and I went to West Kirby in the morning for a look around.
There are some nice shops there.
Me in the car!
We went to Brimstage craft centre and had a wander round there. Got the kids some sndwiches and we sat on the tables outside. There was a chicken wandering round - wanted some food - here's the kids looking at it!
Here he is.

I have decided to paint the bannisters - too big a job stripping them. Got some gloss paint. We are taking R to Borders tomorrow to get a new book then I am going to Flint to stay for one night I think?

 SUNDAY 3rd MAY 2009

The sun is out but keeps going behind clouds! It's 9am (got up about an hour ago). We are off to Cheshire Oaks this morning for R to get a new book.
Cheshire Oaks has some lovely shops, ok, a lot of cheaper designer shops (ok if you have £££ to spend). But the big Borders bookshop is there which we all love going in.
Have just put my Aussie conditioner on, will leave it on for 5 minutes or so, smells lovely.
I am going to mums to sleep for the night, don't think R is going to come along, but I don't mind - is ages since stayed at mum n dads on my own. Usually I pop over to my sisters and see what she is doing (not sure if she is working, she works in Ethel Austins).
