Unhealthy...

Why why why??? I seem to do so well with my healthy eating for a few weeks and then blow it all with a few days of really bad eating! I'm so cross with myself but I can't seem to stop! I think I am the exact description of a 'binger'. I've eaten more chocolate in the past week than I care to confess!! And I've worked so so hard to lose that stone and a half since November! Gotta get a grip girl!

I HATE weekends at the moment

Why does it ALWAYS seem to be the weekend? When I was working I used to love weekends - they were my sanctuary - the reward at the end of a hectic week and a chance to relax and do meaningless things that made me happy.

Now I hate them!!! Well, I accept that 'hate' is a strong word.... and I've got so much to be thankful for in my life that every day is good, BUT at the moment every day is the same for me. Same routine, same jobs to do, same trials and tribulations. Andy is working weekends at the moment - not at work but doing a job for my Mum - fitting a new bathroom - and I'm so glad he's taken it on board because she needed a new bathroom but would never have paid a workman to come and do it. But for me it means that I'm alone at home with Billy as I am during the week :-(. He's a good baby and doesn't give me much trouble and I'm so in love with him but I find myself looking forward to my weekday activities such as Mums club and meeting my friends and I never thought I could spend my weekends looking forward to Mondays!!!!! Perhaps I'm going mad! My Mum says if I feel like this then it's about time I went back to work!! I'm not convinced! Can't face that one yet! xxx

Inspired by my lovely friend Maria I made carrot and coriander soup the other day which I was very impressed with.... Maria made soup for 7 hungry Mummies with hyperactive babies so she deserves a medal!

Yesterday I took Billy out with the babies walking club and then we went back to Kelly's - it's really nice because there are only a few weeks in age between all 8 babies and they're just starting to interract with each other.

A new Attempt at blogging....

Ok so I've got a bit more time these days now Billy is 3 1/2 months and tends to be in a bit better routine so I thought I'd make a determined effort to get this blog up and running and teach myself how to use the site..... I will learn but it may take me some time :-( I get the feeling that my blog may be a little boring..... I don't get up to much except a fair amount of pushchair pushing action!! But I'm loving being a Mum and being on maternity leave - I just don't want to go back to work!!

So, I've been scouting round for something exciting to post about.... evidently I have nothing as I'm posting a picture of my rhubarb in the garden. I know it's incredibly sad but I'm really chuffed with the fact that it's happily growing.... this rhubarb was transplanted from my cousins over grown rhubarb plant before Xmas and was kept in a plastic bag for about 3 weeks before my Mum planted it for me!

Getting Started....

Well, this is my first attempt at a blog.... and I'm not sure I really know what to do... who on earth is going to read this? They must be pretty bored if they do!
