Leigh's SW journey at home :-)

So just decided I'd like the kids to meet my new man, I've talked about him so they are quite used to hearing about him lol, been 5 weeks, but it's going so well, I can see this working really well, really want to meet his son soon also and then we can just get a few meets done in the next month and maybe him and his son can sleep over in a few months, during the summer. We'll see.

So, tomorrow I'm heading to Sainsburys to buy picnic bits and he'll come with us to a lovely local park, will be nice and hopefully my kids will behave.
 
Haha, oh that's a very early night, hope she sleeps through for you lol. Wish my two would go to sleep early!! Think I need to get them to bed a bit earlier tonight really, so that they get used to it as back to school Monday.

Angel isn't impressed with my man, she just saw his photo lol, mum was the same, sad that people can be shallow eh! He's a really lovely man and that's what's made me fall for him big time! Just hope that my very honest and outspoken daughter doesn't say anything to him, she can be cruel at times. I'll need to bribe her somehow lol.
This is going to make our relationship more official lol, yes, he's a keeper, absolutely love being with him, doing things loads different to the past few wasted relationships who met my kids straight away, mind you the kids were much younger. My mum/brother would prefer I didn't introduce the kids for a long time, but if I wait any longer, we don't see much of each other apart from at work and thats not much really.
 
It's different with kids these days isn't it a lot of mums and dads out there are no longer together and they are around it all the time it's a very common thing unfortunately .

Your little girl sounds a character haha got to love kids . Just pre warn him he has one so should be used to comments they come out with lol.

I wouldn't worry what people think Hun if your happy that's all that matters and it seems he's making you very happy so that's all that matters.

As for Olivia she goes bed at 7 every night and sleeps till 7.30:8.30 she's a star :D
 
Yeah I guess so, just that I don't really cope too well when it all goes wrong lol, I shouldn't go into relationships worrying about how it'll end cos hopefully it will never come of that! I think my family are a little odd to be honest, not my kids but my mum, bro and sis, they have issues and it's rubbed off on me. I need to change that and stop it going on to my kids too! I am really happy and I didn't think i'd want another relationship but I think because it feels so right, I am really relaxed. Just gotta get over my trust issues and paranoia, afterall, he's obviously really proud to be with me cos he's telling people at work when I haven't been in this week lol. He's so sweet! You are right, don't worry about what other people think even the kids as long as they are polite to him and hopefully they'll get on well. Time will tell and I'll update you tomorrow.

Your Olivia sounds like my two, always slept well from babies!

Think i'm going to have an earlyish night as gotta go shopping a have a bit of a tidy before he gets here lol in the morning.
 
Aww good luck for tomorrow Hun hope it goes really well I'm sure he will get involved with kids and bet it will be a fab day.

Ye sod the rest and stay positive why worry about things that might never happen worrying won't change anything keep your chin up and keep smiling. Some relationships don't work but you won't know untill you try. One this for sure is you will always have your beautiful children go live your life we are only here once do what makes you and your children happy.

Families are weird I don't see my brother cause they funny buggers just got to the point where i put myself first and look out for myself.

You've had it hard and you do a fantastic job with your kids should be very proud so relax and enjoy
 
man ended up coming over in morning so had an extremely relaxed day, kids were nervous, but as soon as they braved it and came downstairs, they all got on famously! Kids played up as per normal, but my man was so good and completely patient letting me deal with them. Luckily he has a son, so has some understanding.

we went to Sainsbury's and got stuff for picnic, and came home to prep and then headed out for 1pm. Spent couple hours in park, but kids weren't in mood to play, think they've kind of had enough now lol. Soon be school!

so my man just left around 9.30, I'm feeling happy, really relaxed, in bliss.

can't wait to have him to myself next Friday night lol.

so, been another day eating crap, but have had fruit lol.

gonna go shopping tomo and plan ahead.

hope you had a good day xx
 
Aww so pleased to hear they got in. It's the biggest thing I surpose the kids liking him so that's brill

Like you say least with him having a lad he understands kids how can be fine one me and grumpy the next lol.

Glad you've had a nice day x
 
Hi Laura,

I didn't weigh today as did the other morning and I have put on 6lbs all in all since I started seeing my man lol. I have been good today! So, fingers crossed it'll continue.
About to eat some fruit in yoghurt as dessert and not bothered with syns today whoop! Hopefully if I do my weigh in on Monday and i'll have a good loss! I need this! Got a fridge full of fruit, salad and still enough veg in freezer, only aimed at stocking 3 days worth of fruit/salad so I need to go get fresh on Thursday, but that'll be in time to buy ingredients for a cottage pie i'm doing myself and my man Friday, need to prep as much as possible on Thursday really so only gotta stick in oven Friday. Haven't made one in ages and not going to really follow sw to a Tee as I won't have much, i'll have a huge salad and extra veg on side and give him most of it! The trick to this plan working, is to plan ahead!
I'm taking the covent garden skinny soups for lunch at work, so that's lots more speed and they are only 2% fat, not sure on syns, but I don't think it'll matter, not having other syns so it'll all work out in the end.

Feeling great, looking happy!

Sounds like you have had a good day on plan and very focused for the week ahead.

I will be sticking to colemans cottage pie from now on nice and easy and it's 7 syns for the lot so even if you have half only 3.5 .

For some reason I can still get on the app win win lol
 
Oh they are such liars, skinny soup eh! lol, that's all I have planned for syns, until I can be bothered to make my own, this might get me into the mood, chuck loads of veg in slow cooker, we'll see lol, thanks hun, you are a star!
 
Ye could always use as ya hex b tho there are quite a few soups out there that can be used as hex b. I'm lazy that's my trouble to make my own. Il have a look in my book in a min and add a pic below for ya handy for different ideas.

Ye I normally add abit of milk and butter just so Olivia gets the diary from it really. She doesn't have cows milk now before bed tells me it's yuk hahah. The best thing is tho no longer on the lactulose so it's fab. I always new it was cows milk cause fine before went on that. She has milk in cereal etc but seems large amounts really effect her.

If you think about the portion size you will have won't really be that bad and least you know will taste good. Another option would be mash yours put that on top on mince then do him normal mash on his lol.

Didn't think about hexb that's a good idea, I can see why they are syned so high, they are really bulky, but not even 150 cal's and 2% fat, could be so much worse! No other syns, really tempting but I know if i let myself then it'll go ott, so best be good! I've had another good day and needed a thousand wee's lol, that's a good sign haha.
Glad to hear that Olivia is off lactulose now bless, I guess it's like anything, have a little it shouldn't be too bad!

That's a good idea re doing cottage pie separate for my man on Friday, I will do his in a medium sized dish and mine in my little individual one, then have salad and veg on side! can't wait! Love cottage pie.
Getting a headache now so could just be withdrawal symptoms haha, i'll be fine.
 
Ye is amazing isn't it how you feel when you try to get back on track took me a good few days of feeling sorry for myself lol.

Iv got faggotd for tea really don't fancy them lol. I know soon as infront of me il be fine so il move of my bum and get on with it
 
Trick is, don't have anything available that you shouldn't be eating lol. I'm fine all day at work, then come home and wanna binge! So i've had a couple clementine's and now plain yoghurt and a cheeky hot choc, jacket in oven and will have a salad and cheese with it. will have a bit more fruit later as i'm bound to need something and a bit more plain yoghurt! I wanna be a size 12 for my birthday, please!!! lol.
