Wardrobe switchover!

This time of the year is bittersweeet really... I have to put away or to the back of the wardrobe all my pretty summer dresses and flip flops, but then on the brightside... Out come the jumper dresses and bits to layer up :)

What will you all be wearing this autumn??
Ive just bought a new black pair of shoe boots i shall be giving a whirl with my new pink coat! I was worried id look like a flump in it but apparently it looks nice :/

Back on the wagon!

Helloooo!

Im making it official that im back on the low carb bootcamp wagon after wobbling on and off for a couple of weeks!

Old habits were creeping back in and i found myself reaching for the naughty foods in the cupboard... The last few days have been a big revelation for me, making me realise how much of an emotional eater i really am!!
It's ironic really because the reason i was doing this is ive been soooo stressed out as my 7YO hasnt been eating properly for a while now and its got sooo much worse :/

Anyways onwards and downwards lowcarbers!!

It's taken me ALL day, think i did good though :D

Fasting to make right my mistakes this week!!

That's right me (who before shrugged off fasting completely)...fasting for the next two days.

After various slip up's this week, i thought i'd have to do something quite drastic to kick myself into touch.  So i've decided to fast the next two day (making sure i drink plenty).

It's been hard so far because i've been hungry.. but i don't know if that's because i'd eaten quite alot of carbs yesterday!!
Trouble is everything is looking so yummy to me at the moment :s I'm going to have to make myself up some new rules!

so onwards and downwards hopefully :)

Back to school...

I feel it's only right i should post about this today!

The first of this terms school runs went well this morning... I got up at 7, got myself and rhys showered and ready, then got up the baby and we were on time! I hope Rhysey enjoys his first day back in his new classroom.

I feel nervous (probably like most other mummies out there), so a bittersweet day for me. I can't wait to pick him up this afternoon to find out all about his day :)

I need these boots in my life...NOW!

Autumns dream boots....


I've seen a pair of black studded ankle boots (biker style) AND although ideally they'll be for my autumn wardrobe, I really need them now.  Really!  They would look great to toughen up a dress or just with jeggings and a long vest top/ boyfriend cardi.

I've been searching for a picture online but i can't seem to find one yet...when i buy them in the next couple of weeks i'll post a pic!


AND SO... nearly 3 weeks later, i STILL haven't got the dream boots as they didn't have them in my size.  Instead i cam out of the shop with a pair of black patent ballet pumps instead :/ 

Potty training day 2!


So far today ive had countless wees on the floor (and 1 on the sofa).

However... I made the lil boy sit on the potty for a while and he did a number 1 and 2! Wohooos! I heavily praised him after this... Its difficult because i dont think hes associating wees with the potty, although when he has an accident he cries.. So he must know. He got himself in such a state ive given him lunch and put a nappy on :/ ill try again after hes had his afternoon nap!!

Let the potty training commence...

Sooo... We've bought the potty and the seat to put on the loo for further on!

We've been going so far for around 2 hours and the boy has peed on the lounge carpet twice and sofa once :/ eeek!

He is defo scared when he sits on the potty ( despite the mickey mouse on the seat).. So i'm not sure how successful we're going to be, But we're giving it a go!!

To potty train or not to potty train??

How do i know my youngest is ready to potty train?

  1. He fiddles with his nappy when he has been.
  2. He stands very still when he has been
  3. I ask him if he's done a poo...and he says YES!
Ethey's only 1 and a half and he knows a few words...yes is one of them! I'm thinking it's defnitely time to give it a go...I am however very worried as my house is mostly carpeted :/ 

I think my approach will be to buy a few potty's for the most used rooms and sit him down every 30 mins, and obviously praise him ALOT when he goes!!

I'm excited yet nervous...Wish us luck...Training will commence monday!

Scales are going down again!

I am so happy the scales are going down once again!!

We went to a wedding rception last night... AND i didnt touch the buffet as it was mainly pastries! Go me!

My eldest is back to school on tuesday so ill be doing the regular walking again which is a good thing :) so long as i dont have to do too many school runs in the rain!!
