Oh Happy Days!

I survived work, Joshua survived and so did Ant! So all is good. I don’t even think Joshua missed me – that’s just charming isn’t it?! Was nice chatting with everyone again and my worries about forgetting everything were dashed, I actually remembered more than I thought. Although I will so be asking a million questions when I go back properly.

Does anyone else love the feeling you get when you can be completely and utterly happy for someone else?  I’ve been crossing my fingers and wishing on eye lashes for the past two months that my friend would get the news she deserved and on Tuesday she had her twelve week scan and saw her babies heartbeat.  I know exactly how she was feeling and when I received the message to say everything was okay I had the biggest smile on my face for the rest of the day. Honestly I am overjoyed for her. It’s such an exciting time, and I love that I can share it with her.

I find too often these days that people can’t be genuinely happy for someone else, not unless they are benefiting from it in some way and I hate this. Why does the world have to work like this?

My new year; new me is going fairly well...caved and had a small piece of chocolate today. Other than that though we’ve been eating nice healthy food and I’m enjoying it. Making me feel less tired and happier in myself. I know it will be a while before I notice the affects but I’m still motivated – usually I get s far as day 2! Had my hair cut yesterday as another step – I have a little side fringe now and I really like it. Have a look for yourself and let me know what you think!



Next weekend Ant is going to take me out for a treat.... the healthy eating will go out of the window that night. We’ve only had one night out alone in the past seven months so we both feel that it is due. I’ve been dropping hints for a few weeks and last night he turned to Joshua and said ‘Joshua I think Mummy is trying to tell me something, new clothes, new makeup new hair’ Then he told me he would take me out, so to arrange a baby sitter.

Will be lovely to get a night out alone as a couple but will also be strange as it’s only the second time Joshua will have been with someone other than the two of us. I know he will be fine, he’ll most likely be in bed before we go and my neice is more than capable of taking care of it. Just strange though!

Anyway I think that’s enough randomness for today!
Thanks to everyone who has left comments I really appreciate and love reading them

New me

So it’s a new year and I have decided that I’m sick of looking the way I do, so I’m going to make an effort to do something about it and actually start to like the way I look again. People are always saying it’s okay you’ve just had a baby – but that was 6 months ago now. So it’s time to start losing that baby weight. I’ve set myself a target and I really, really want to achieve it. Hope you will all help to keep me motivated!

I started today with a food shop, my fridge has never looked so healthy. I’ve got a plan of meals we will eat every day and some of it sounds so yummy. I’m actually excited about eating it. Makes a change usually they tell you to live on cardboard and rabbit food.  Dusting the Wii fit off was another one of my missions – I pulled it out this morning and managed 40 minutes before Joshua demanded me. The last five minutes I actually did while carrying him.

I’ve found a new love to ... body shop. Someone is doing a wonderful job at converting me. Yes you know who you are! I’ve invested in some of there eye liner and lengthening mascara. I just tried it out and I have to say it’s amazing. It really does lengthen your lashes.  This is what the website says about it :  A long lasting conditioning formula with an innovative curving brush to separate, define and seriously stretch every single lash.

I love how helpful and friendly they are in the stores too... they don’t pester you when you go in like some shops, but they are on hand to help you out. I saw they do a free make up consultation and I was very tempted to sign up. Learn a bit more about what makeup I should use and how to apply it. I don’t wear very much but it really does make me feel better when I have a bit on. Even if that is just mascara and eye liner.  I guess learning and wearing more makeup could be part of the new me to. Looking good and feeling good has got to be the way to go!

Anyway I got a nice surprise when Ant came home from work. So I’m going to leave it at that for today and go watch some tele with him. Will blog again soon
