......gettin' it done.
Morning!
Things have been INSANE here. Crazy busy. And I have NOT been on plan. Not at all.
lol.
I have no idea what I weigh because, although I have decided to get back to plan today...I am TOTMing (it just started yesterday...FOUR days early!!) and I dont dare. So for now...Im just gonna focus on sticking to plan. Ive felt mildly sick to my stomach the last few days....(hasnt stopped me scoffing a bunch of utter crap though!) and I am pretty certain that its to do with the afrementioned crap Ive been scoffing and a bit of dehydration. So, today we shall rectify this. Hubby is back to work on Tuesday anyway...
So...Thursday...we were on our way home from Newcastle on the bus and I got a call from our estate agents. I wasnt going to ring back but I did. And of course, they spring an inspection on us. ON SATURDAY (as in...TODAY). I really loathe the way renters are treated here. But whatever. NOT MY PROBLEM in about 52 days.
So we had to clean like mad yesterday and try to make it look like we arent actually moving out. Somehow. We arent bothering telling them because we dont want the hassle of viewings and them in and out as and when...because it IS still our home. For as long as we've paid our rent. The last few times we've moved the agents (all different ones, which is why i know theyre all about the same up here) used to give us hell....last minute notice of viewings (WHILE WE WERE STILL IN THE MIDDLE OF PACKING/MOVING) and allsorts. Its horrid having people poking around your home at the best of times, but worse when youre a bit upside and in disarray! So..yeah. No thanks. So we did our best at suuch ridiculously short notice. *shrug* im kinda past caring. I think by law they have to give us 60 days notice to quit anyway, if they go in a huff and decide to kick us out. Which works for me, either way.
We also we to Beamish, we've been to the metro centre...ncl twice....i got my rings back and they fit (3.5 sizes smaller!!) comfortably! I ordered some shoes from Debenhams and they cancelled it because they didnt have my size, after all. And the sandals i ordered from there were too small...so im taking those back at some point.
The price for our hotel has gone down so I called expedia last night and got a nice little refund of $105...thanksverymuch!
Hmm...what else. I dont know. But we havent really stopped. Sold lots of stuff on ebay. And have now sold all the furniture that we plan to. The sofa didnt sell but Ive decided to just leave that be. People want stuff for basically free. So Id rather just keep it and be comfy in our last few weeks here lol
My friend M hasnt said anything about the cat coming over again...so Im just kinda waiting for her to mention it again. She's at a BBQ in leeds today (its pouring rain here...would imagine its about the same in leeds, too!) at her in-laws' so im going round to let her crazy dog inside later on this evening. *prays he doesnt bite me*
wart on my finger has returned...bigger and more angry than last time.
AND I THINK THATS IT! hahaha
So food today:
pancake
spag bol
bar
chili
boiled egg or two..possibly.
water water water. for pete's sake.
(who IS pete, anyway?)
and thats it. have a nice weekend all!

haha love your warts n' all updates (I'm cracking up here) bloomin' estate agents...I think it's more to check that you're not using the place as a crack den
how did the cat go at your friends the first time? Cats are tricky beggars - my boy cat won't come in the house when the neighbour goes to feed them so she has to leave his food in the kitchen with the cat flap open and that's in his own house with someone who only lives next door!
Boo to totm - don't go near the scales for now for sure!!
Yay to refunds and re-sized rings
Your life really is a whirlwind right now! xxxx

Morning
Still not weighing *fingers in ears saying "la la lala laaaa"*....lol.
So...yesterday was fine. I abandoned the spag bol for another pancake...but it was fine. I just couldnt face another savoury pack after yet another pack of chili for lunch. bleh. lol.
TOTM is rather unpleasant. I keep having these bouts of cramps ....and then it goes and im like..."hey...this isnt too bad..." and then within a few hours theyre back and im like "OMG IM DYINGGGG" lol
So....this morning is lovely, albeit a bit chilly. But its blue sky and sunny. The last couple of days have been pretty grey and gloomy. So this is very welcome...even if its not hot...(or even warm!) ...plus..its only 7:24am. Theres still time for it warm up (or go grey and gloomy again...lets face it..this is the NE of England...anything goes weatherwise!) lol.
We are possibly going into newcastle again today to return these blasted sandals...and i really want a sunday lunch *sulk* but nowhere that we can actually get to does a good one (that we know of). Its probably better because...yanno...im supposed to be on plan and all that... lol. but...*sniff* I just want a giant yorkshire filled with mash, and veg and gravy on. Is that so hard? hahaha I could make one..but I wont.
just had a coffee and half a dark choc truffa. I kinda dont like the orange ones. I looked back on my diary and saw that I wrote that I really loved them. But...they dont seem to taste as nice as I remember. Bleh. :/ lol. Oh well. I will leave those til Im out of all the other ones I have and either use then as last resort or flog em.
My daughter has just asked me if we can go to CBeebies land. I would love to take them..but its not happening. So I said "no honey...im very sorry but we cant"...so she says "ok...we can go to disneyland instead, cant we?" lol. yes...but not anytime in the near future.....but i didnt say that. I just said "well..we will see!" what a crappy parental answer that is. I used to hate it when my mom said that. it usually meant...no. hahah
anyway. food today...im probably going to stick to packs. I dont know what exactly we are doing. hubby is still in bed (must be nice!) and i dont know if any of us can be bothered to deal with sunday buses and sunday opening hours....we'll see. if we go out....i will try to be very good. if we dont...i will just stick to pancake a few times and the rest of my bar later...i think. or maybe a savoury pack for lunch instead of pancake. not sure. but regardless....3 packs and the rest of my bar.
im having one of those days where...my kids. omg. i adore them...BUT JUST LEAVE ME ALONE FOR 5 minutes PLEASE?! for the love of GAWD!!! I have one on each side, grabbing each arm....talking in each ear...its like my body isnt my own (it isnt....of course...) and right at this moment im having an inner tantrum because i just want some personal space and the use of my limbs as and when i feel the need. regardless of what any mother ever says...this is normal...and its also fleeting. lol. itll pass. and tbh, i wouldnt trade it for anything. but there are little mini-bites of time when im like "AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!" lol. Its probabloy because of TOTM that my fuse is shorter, anyway. Still..theyre friggin adorable like jam-toast-faced monkeys and i adore them. Even when i feel like theyre slowly suffocating me hahha <3
Anyway..hope youre all having a lovely day/weekend! I cant believe hubby's holiday week is nearly over but that also means that when he goes back into work he's going to BIL and we have no idea how that will go but at the very least it will be all out in the open and we can just breathe and not have to hide anything anymore..or be careful what we say..etc. So im kinda like hahaha
Happy Sunday! xx

You know what you need - to whisper into OHs ear that he's in charge and nip into town by yourself and have a lovely coffee somewhere nice and come back refreshed and having missed them all. Almost better than a big Yorkshire pudding!!!
Have a lovely day whatever you decide. Hope the cramps go away soon.

Gooood morningg!!!!
First things first - 228.0 - not nearly as scary as I had imagined. TOTM isnt quite gone yet and Ive been scoffing loads. It probably helped that I had the ONE day on plan the other day. But still. Im quite - well, not HAPPY -but...ok with that. I can work with that. Its 1 stone Im focused on, just to get me back to my lowest. If I can get there...I will be ecstatic. So lets go for it.
Today is exactly 7 weeks until we leave for Manchester. I would like to do 5 or 6 weeks on and then a refeed. But Im only going to worry about today...and do the "one day at a time" approach for now.
Hubby goes back to work today - and he is telling his brother that we are leaving. *gasp* We could really REALLY use the money for the next 7 weeks or so, but tbh - if he DOES get sacked...*shrug* so be it. It is out of our control anyway and hubby is pretty miserable there. So we would scrape by for the next few weeks until we go. We'd manage. So im not so much worried about the outcome of him telling my BIL...more just BIL's reaction. Its the "let's see what you're REALLY made of" moment.
Just went to take a drink of my coffee and there was peppa pig's little head, bobbing up and down all around in my cup. Thanks Zoe! bleh. Oh well...fished it out...and took a sip. Doesnt taste of bacon so Im good.
Food today will be 3 packs, a few eggs and a bar. water water water. nothing much else. oh, my friend M sent me a text last night asking if we wanted to bring Lyra over for another visit. So will probably be doing that this week. I tried to explain it to Tabby yesterday. That Lyra isnt going to come with us and he is going to stay here and live at M's house and she said "but he is my cat, mom. and i will miss him and be sad. even though he scratches me. i still love him". AWWWWW </3 And I told her that I understood and I was sorry but he just couldnt go on the airplane. She said she understood and that was pretty much it. Shes been fine since. Mal did mention (to me, not in front of her) yesterday, when I told him about that convo I had with her, that we could just get them a kitten once we were definitely settled. So we'll see. Not sure how i feel about that just yet.
Anyway. Happy Monday all!

BIL has been informed and according to hubby's text "didnt say much, in typical J style". yep. typical!
Cat is going for a day visit tomorrow at M's house. Hubby is going to drop him off on his way in to work and pick him up on his way home. So M and I and our 5 kids between us are going to meet up this afternoon and walk into our little town centre to check out the 2 pet shops and wilko for a cat box and some food bowls etc. so yay. (but sob, really)
And Zoe has been up since ungodlyhour-o'clock and i woke up earlier than that even....so we are both shattered. Im going to taken them in for a nap shortly. *yawn*
I had a raspberry porridge pack as pancake. bleh. i dont care for it. its got a weird salty aftertaste. but im gonna eat em anyway! lol. so ive had that and 1 boiled egg so far today. and a coffee and 1L of water. not too bad considering its not quite 10am yet lol
have a bit of mild nausea again and feeling really crampy considering TOTM should be (and seems to be) winding down...*sob* lol owwwwwie!
anyhoo. i think nap in a few mins.

Glad the weight was less than expected and good luck with your on plan day today. And hope the cat adoption visit goes without a hitch.
Its hard to believe your BIL would have nothing to say. I presume he knew it might happen but still. Bet your hubby won't know himself when he comes out from that and gets a job somewhere he is appreciated.
A nap sounds like a great idea. Could do with one myself.

Morning all!!
Now that the spam-bot above has been reported....we can move on!
So, today! 226.4 - downward is good!
Yesterday was fine.
Today...same again. 3 packs and a bar and some eggs. Water water. I didnt have enough water yesterday. I MUST have at least 3L today!!
How is everyone getting on? its raining and bleh today. The cat is meant to be going to M's this morning. but as its so rainy, she said she will drive round and pick him up! LOL. Its brightening now though so I might just walk him over anyway! lol

Wow! Mods are on here are fast-acting! In case anyone missed it...some spammy spamster posted some crud...trying to flog some tablet or other for weight loss. So I posted (as seen above) for them to please not spam my diary..and then I reported the post and asked admin to remove it and they did! that wasnt more than an hour or 2 ago!
So...quite pleased!
Ive had an egg and having my apple and cinnamon pancakes now and then going to put Zoe-the-early-riser down for a nap. Then laundry I think. Cat has gone to M's for a day visit. Feels a bit strange. And Tabby stood at the window waving goodbye to him long after they left. Then she turned to me and said "i miss ly ly". aww. Shes ok now...playing as usual.
Must. Drink. Water. Argh. lol.
