Here for the Journey
Hi Elle. I do ask favours of my daughter but I hope I ask as one adult to another and don't usually expect her to jump to it. However earlier this week I was low on credit on my mobile and having trouble ordering an experience gift from Silverstone for OH and really pressed my daughter to sort it out for me. She went the extra mile and came over and waited for it to arrive special delivery on Christmas Eve and it DIDN'T COME. I appreciated her efforts but would not have thought bad of her if she hadn't done it.
Don't let your mum's attitude make you ask if you are a good daughter - you love your family and you care about their feelings but you have a life to live and can't say "how high?" every time a parent says "jump".
I hope you had a lovely Christmas Day with your family. Mine was with my OH, my daughter and her husband. We visited mother-in-law and took pink champagne and took flowers to the churchyard where my mum and dad's ashes are. We poured the last little bit of the champagne over where we thought mum was and we could almost hear her say "Where's the brandy?" We spoke to other daughter and 3 year old grandson on the phone so it was all good x

you know when you wake up on boxing day at around mid day and head for the leftovers? i had a sausage and a couple of parsnips for lunch. oh and a ball of stuffing lol. and they were so oily i feel incredibly sick. shouldve had cereal.
guys yesterday was just AWFUL, i wouldn't be surprised if i've put on at least 4 lbs from yesterday, plus i've already had some choc today. im feeling awful but for some reason unable to stop myself. grrr. AND we're having people round tomorrow.
well, santa bought us a wii fit so i shall try and use that to shift excess lbs...
hope all your christmasses went well! Gem, love the pink champagne idea, i'm sure your mum appreciated it, even if it wasn't brandy
how did the MIL visit go?
taz did you have a good day hun?
guys thanks for the messages concerning the argument with my mother haha. we love each other really, she just has a short fuse. she absolultely loved her present yesterday. it was her 50th back in sept but i was broke thanks to my holiday so i saved up since then and bought her a white gold and real pearl bracelet...we're both big fans of pearls you see
anyway i think i may go and have a game of singstar with my little sis.
enjoy boxing day!

Sounds like fun Elle. I gathered you and your mum were ok really but things do erupt sometimes in families. Maybe you are too alike - that sometimes makes for conflict cos you see all the things you'd like to change about yourself reflected back at you. That happens sometimes. x

Yea there's something to be said for a quiet Christmas. It's been fairly relaxing for me too after the initial panic. New year should be the same as long as my new grandson doesn't decide to put in an early appearance. Here's to no more panics for a couple of weeks - I'll drink to that x

new year looks to be good to me. me and my cousins and friends have rented an apartment in birmingham - we'll be bringing the new year in in centenary square and then back off to the apartment for fun and drinking hahaha.
well, in a strange twist to events, i weighed 12st 7lbs this morning...hmmm. that's intriguing.
last night i went out and danced the night away...and this guy i used to have a crush on was introduced to me by my cousin after he told her he quite fancies me. he asked if it would be ok to get in touch with me so i asked him if he has a facebook hahaha. well, dont want to be giving my number just yet. but anyway, the thing is, i just dont fancy him anymore, got over that crush 4 years ago... we'll see i suppose.

hey there honey. sounds like you had a good chrimbo. don't worry about the extra lbs.. i have gained around 6 i think over the last two weeks. although i still have an inordinate amount of food in me from the last couple of days. my body just doesn't seem to know what to do with it!! ha. and i resolved to take it easier with the food today and then had a mince pie for breakfast, so we all do it. i can't go back on sole source yet as i am still visiting family for another week, but i want to cut down on my portion sizes etc as i can feel the food addict in me has been well and truly awoken!!
merry christmas babes. i hope you got my card?

I sure did hun it was lovely! it's still hanging in my room, i refuse to remove them yet haha.
well when i weighed myself the morning after boxing day i appeared to have lost 1lb somehow. however, i've had two lots of dinner parties since then, one at mine yesterday and one at my aunty's today, where lots of food, chocolates and puddings were consumed. tomorrow is lacking in dinner parties so ive resolved to spend much of the day being active and going on the wii. and certainly not pigging out as much haha...
