Hubby likes this dress for the wedding we are invited to. I'm not sure about it. Looks a bit clingy.

Congrats on the new grandson!

Good luck with stepper , I dug mine out and had a go but I'm just not very coordinated
Dress looks lovely , you would have to try one on to see just how clingy it is

Yesterday's food

B: nothing as trying to sleep post night shift

L: gave up on sleep and had a nectarine, 2 satsumas and 2 plums with a cup of tea while catching up on Silent Witness

Then took ds2 to dentist and to get his glasses fixed. He hadn't told me that they were broke. I'd noticed the sellotape holding them together!!

Then I took my 2 daughters to Asda as it was the baby event. Then came back and did tea for my youngest 2 and granddaughter who was sleeping over.

Then went to get weighed ...........


2.5lbs off and my Club 10 award



And then finally had something to eat myself.

That was when I realised that I'd had NO sleep after my night shift. So I went to bed

Now minimins is back I am going to restart my diary. Since my last entry I have had another grandson, Macauley; am now in my last year at uni and dreading qualifying; and my weight has yoyo-ed. I got down to 12 stone but have put on 7lbs.
I have also changed group as I felt I wasn't getting the support I needed. So I am aiming to get back on track after 3 weeks off plan.
