I popped into our local town centre earlier and bumped into an old school friend - Diane Dye - who I havent seen properly for about 6 years!
We were best friends at school and used to get up to so much mischief. When we left school we drifted apart then met up again but lost touch. I am sooooo happy.
Her sisted, Sarah, was also with her and she is a really nice person too :o)
We are planning on meeting up at the weekend with our children (Di has 2 and Sarah has 1) so all the kiddies should get along well too.
Happy happy happy!

Home & Weigh In
Well we had a lovely time in Evesham. Weather was awful when we first arrived and we couldnt even make it out of the car into our cottage as it was so bad! Luckily by the time we went out in the evening the rain had stopped and the sun came out.
We saw Stuart, Michelle and Kieran on Thursday night and had a nice meal with them in The Round of Gras and Kieran and Amy ran riot around all the table chasing one another and Kieran kept giving Amy kisses which was just so cute (see Stuarts blog http://www.stu-wilson.blogspot.com/ for pictures).
Friday we went to the West Midlands Safari Park and saw lots of different animals (obviously!). Amy seemed to like looking at the animals too which was nice.
Spend Thursday and Friday nigth playing cars with Peter and the in-laws and drinking lots of wine and Bud which is something I dont usually do so made a nice change (and I didnt have a hang over yay!).
Obviously from all the good food and alcohol I had put on 2lbs this morning, thought it would be more like 5lbs so will have to make sure I am good this week so it doesnt catch up with me!
I have one more weigh in until Peter's 30th birthday weekend and my dress fits but is a bit tight around my bust. On the plus side at least I know they wont fall out!!

Away & News
We are off to see our friends in Evesham tomorrow and will be staying up/down there for a couple of days and I am really looking forward to the break. Not sure how I will fare with slimming world but will try my hardest (honest!).
I somehow managed to gain 1lb this week which was a bit of a surprise. I can only think that its my MIL's roast dinner which is very oily as this is the only thing I had that was out of the norm. (Note to self: dont eat MIL's food anymore!).
Thought we had to take Amy to hospital yesterday which was scary. Monday night she got her leg stuck between the bars on her co (does this a lot) and when Peter went up to see her she had twisted around with her leg still through the bars. Tuesday morning she couldnt/wouldnt walk on her left leg and kept falling over and crying
:o( My mum came around to come with me to the hospital and Amy went running up to her!! Quick recovery or what. Kept an eye on her yesterday and although she is still limping a little she seems to be okay so we assume its just badly bruised.
Bless my poor little baby, she certainly is in the wars what with banging her head, cutting her lip, biting her tongue.
We have been talking about trying for baby no. 2 which is a big step for me because I am worried that I wont love baby no.2 as much as I love Amy (strange thing to say I know). I am also worried more for the fact that if we have another girl would I feel different to the way I feel for Amy being our first?
It took us a year to get pregnant with Amy so I am preparing myself for a long wait (and hope that I dont get totally obsessed like last time). Wish us luck!

Wii....
We purchased a Nintendo Wii this weekend and I have to say its bloody good fun!
Thw Wii Sports is very funny (why dont the people in the background have legs?). I especially like the boxing!
We also have Mortal Kombat (not tried that yet), Harry Potter (tis okay but a bit slow) and Monkey Balls which I love!
Unfortunately as I have also got the new Harry Potter book wii playing is limited as I am busy reading most of the time when Amy is alseep. I dont think I am going to be staying up until 3 or 4am to read it though like some people I know.
We are going away on Thursday for a couple of days and the place we are going to (Evesham) is flooded eek! Our friends Stuart & Michelle and their son Kieran who live in Evesham are stuck at home as they live on a hill and below them is flooded. I really hope the water receeds before we go there next week else we wont be able to catch up with Stuart, Michelle and Kieran which will be a shame. Mind you thats if we actually make it there what with the roads being flooded!!

Thats a Load Off...
Well after having a nightmare 2 weeks where I have gained 3lbs I have this week lost 6lbs YAY.
My mini goal is for my hubby Peter's 30th birthday which is 12 August as we are going out somewhere special (cant say much as he might see!). Ideally in the next 3 weigh ins before his birthday I would like to have lost another 6lbs then I would be at the same weight I was when I got married.
Amy is still an early riser. She gets up anywhere from 5am-6.30am and is currently refusing to have a nap in the day. Joy. When she is tired she gets all wobbly so we have lots of lovely bruises on her head at the moment! I am sure people look at me as though I am beating her up (I'm not honest!).
We have some friends over for dinner tomorrow night and I am being a very good girl. Everyone else is having garlic bread, pizza and chips and I am having wholemeal pasta, cheese, lettuce, carrots, cucumber, peppers, boiled egg, ham slices and boiled potaotes. Garlic bread will be hard to resist I think but I WILL resist it (I hope).

Party & Whoops!
Amy's party was lovely on Sunday. We had a mixture of family and friends and Amy seemed to enjoy herself - especially running up and down the garden to the back gate which she isnt usually allowed to do. Amy was spoilt and got lots of lovely pressies although she wasnt interested in opening them only in eating the wrapping paper.
Well I have had a very naughty week with my diet and yesterday at weigh in I gained 2lbs. Considering the food that I ate (chinese, chips from chip shop etc) and the amount of alcohol considering I dont usually drink any now 2lbs gain isnt that bad.
I am now back on track and really really want a good loss this week. I should imagine all the tidying up and taking down of Amy's birthday decorations will help with the exercise side of things!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY GIRL
Well I cannot believe my beautiful baby girl is 1 year old today. I have no idea where the last year has gone but gone it has.
Have had a nice day with visitors and we went to a place called Tropical Wings which is a lovely place. There are lots and lots of butterflies flying around and you get to walk through and look at them all. One landed on me and Peter thought that was funny! We also saw lots of birds, some meercats, goats, donkeys, monkeys, tortoises and insects. Amy didnt seem overly fussed but we had a good time.
We have her birthday party on Sunday and are expecting about 30 people so I am sure Amy will be a bit overwhelmed bless her.
Have taken lots of pics and will upload them when I get the chance between cooking for the party and cleaning and tidying up!
On the diet front its been a baaaad week! I have so far had 80 syns with another 40 or so to be had on Sunday. I think I will just be very careful between now and Sunday and limit the damage. I should imagine I will have another gain again this week but hey ho my little girl is only 1 once.

Weigh In
Well today I gained 1lb. Not a happy bunny but I only have myself to blame really.
I am an emotional eater and a family member has well and truly pissed me off and upset me regarding Amy's 1st Birthday and her party (and their lies regarding the same) and so I turned to food and have now had a gain.
Grrrrr why do I do it? Such a pratt.
Right well today is the start of a new week so will have to be extra good. I have Amy's birthday on Thursday and so will be going out so saving some syns for then and then on Sunday we have her birthday party with lots of food so will be saving the majority of my syns for this!!
For those who are interested, the slimming world website is www.slimmingworld.com/lifelineonline you need to enter your email address, a password and a group password. The group password this week is STRAWBERRY. I dont know how well this website will work for those of you across the pond but it has some lovely recipes and good tips so might be of some use.
Here is to a better week!
