Life is so Hectic!!

Well, I've finally managed to find time to do a posting.....still no card to share but have sorted some stuff out and hope to put one together tonight, all being well!

The weather has changed today.....strong winds and rain....such a difference from the weekend where it was absolutely gorgeous.....even managed to lie out in my bikini and top up my tan! Finished the weekend off with a gorgeous roast dinner (my favourite!) - I'll let you into a little secret.....Tony's gravy is to die for!


Anyway, enough of the ramblings and back to business! Have received some lovely things over the last few weeks so it's catch up time. Firstly, Michelle organised a Secret Sister swap and look what I got.......



....lots of lovely goodies to play with and the fabulous folder is filled with lots of stamped images!So, a BIG thank you to whoever my Secret Sister is. I should find out soon as I think I've delayed things a bit!!

I've also received two awards over the last couple of weeks.....it always brings a smile to my face to know that people think of me when handing these out. This is the one I received from Debi.....I'm so sorry Debi that it's taken me so long to put it on my blog....really hope you understand :0)


I also received this award from Trina.....thanks so much Trina!




PLUS(!!!) I've also been tagged by Trina and Lesley so if you girls don't mind, can I think about that one and will get back to you with my answers?

Must get on now as I've got a friend popping round and wanted to try a layout for a card before she arrives. Will be back soon.

Hey Jo, you don't have to tell me about wind and rain - I got to work looking like I'd been dragged through a hedge backwards - why I spend an hour getting ready I'll never know!!
Anyway, I take it from your posts
(and gravy comment) things are on the up?
Nice to see you back!
Take care.

My Surprise For Tony!!

As promised, I'm back to let you in on my surprise for Tony tomorrow! Don't know where to start with this but maybe a little personal history first. When I married Tony in 1996 I was a UK size 14. I've always had to watch my weight and never been naturally thin but was never vastly overweight either. In March 1997 I fell pregnant with Lewis and that's when the trouble started.....the weight piled on and after he was born as well because I wasn't eating properly and just grabbing food out of the fridge when I had a spare five minutes.....oh, the joys of being a new Mum! Then I got pregnant again with Sam and even though I didn't gain much more weight during pregnancy, I made up for it afterwards! Am I boring you yet! It took me ten years and many failed diets to finally get serious about losing weight so I started my diet in January this year and this is the evidence....... please do not show the first photo to small children or animals as it may scare them !!!!!...
