My Friday :o)

Well unfortunately I didn't go spinning very bad girl I know, however by the time it got to 5 o clock I felt like I had no bones in my body, not a good feeling, I think it's the old ketosis kicking in which is good as at least I know it's working but it makes you feel crap. So call it an excuse but I didn't go Spinning. Maybe next week. Diet wise however going great day 4 of sole source and feeling pretty good if not a little weak.
Didn't do much last night Elise just played out until about 7ish then got bathed and sorted and had an early night. She had her first lot of homework last night which was to decorate her French book with all things French so she enjoyed that as she is quite arty, but she is so blinking particular, she did a fab drawing of the Eiffel Tower. Need to go and get her some sticky back plastic today to cover it.
Dave's back into the swing of work and has all his schools sorted, he has gotten a few new ones this year in Seaton Sluice and Cramlington so more work for Mr M :o)
Going over to Cerrie and Mickey's tonight as me and Mr M are both off tomorrow woo hoo. Got a busy day tomorrow but just doing nice things though. Going to get weighed at 10.30am then having my nails filled at 11.00am then off to town to spend some of our vouchers we got for our birthday's so that should be fun.
Mam and Dad rang the other night and said they were having a fabulous time and resort etc was amazing, nice for some eh.
Anyhoo best be off. M x

Ketosis and Spinning!

Day 3 again of sole source so hopefully after today I should be back in ketosis. Hasn't been too bad just been a bit ratty with Mr M, oops. Watched Angels and Demons last night on dvd and really enjoyed it, Dave didn't think much of it but that's not surprising really, not really his thing.
Elise is still really enjoying Middle School and seems to be taking it all in her stride. However the lovely new uniform was hung up lovely on her first night after school but last night, nah, chucked on the floor, didn't think that would last long.
Work's going fine at the mo but really busy, still loads going on for us and a million things to do. Phase 2 of the Resource Centre is up and running and looks fab but bringing a lot more work with it.
Last week in my wisdom I thought it would be a good idea to book into spinning tonight, nice mind. So off I go at 5.45pm tonight at Newbiggin so I probably won't be able to walk tomorrow. Need to do some exercise though so hopefully this is a start.
I'm off on Friday as me and Dave were supposed to be going to Town to watch one of his ex pupils play but he doesn't start until 11bells and it was just going to end up being a bit of a hassle so we've decided to give it a miss but I'm still going to take Friday off and might go to town and do some shopping then I'm going to go and get my nails infilled.
Friday night we're going to Emma and Lee's with Leesco then Saturday afternoon Dave is doing a race I think in Rothbury. No plans as yet for Saturday night so we shall see what happens. Weekends are always a bummer on this diet but hey ho.
Can't believe I'm back to uni next Wednesday the summer has just absolutely flown over.
Bye now x

Back on it and Leesco's first day at Middle School!

Went and got weighed and Friday and it wasn't good news, however I've had my birthday and it's just a case of getting back on track. I would like to lose another 2 stone to get to goal and I would be happy. I'm hoping my holiday at the end of Ocotber hopefully can be my focus and motivation.
Went over to Linda's on Friday night and had a girly night there which was good fun then Saturday seeing it was such a fab day we sat in the garden and drank pimms which was nice. Saturday was Mickey's birthday so our Cerrie had a bit of a do for him at theirs on Saturday night which was a howl and ended up very messy, put it this way Kings and permanent marker don't go well especially when evil Mr Bates is involved. ha ha.
Yesterday we went home and got ready then went out for lunch to the half moon in stakeford which was really nice and would recommend there Sundays dinners to anyone who isn't on Cambridge diet. After lunch we went home and dossed for the rest of the day. Watching dvd's and eating rubbish, oops.
It's Elise's first day at Middle School and she went off with her lovely new uniform on looking very grown up with her massive bags which are the size of her. Bless her. Going to go home at 1 bell to meet my hubby for lunch well porridge, he's back to school now also.

30 Something!!

Well it's over I'm not longer in my 20's. Boo hoo. Anyhoo had the most fantastic weekend EVER!!! The party went really well and everything was perfect. There was just enough people there for the size of the room and everything was great. Saturday we headed off to Alnwick at lunch time and went to Blackmores for lunch then checked into the hotel. We had our own private room for our meal which was really lovely. Dave and Cerrie decorated it all and it looked fab. The whole evening was just once again perfect. Sunday we made our way home about lunch time but we were shattered. Me and Dave had a little sleep when we got home and woke up about 5ish. We decided to go for an Italian's in Morpeth then out for a few drinks so it ended up the perfect way to end a fab weekend.
As you can imagine the diet has some what gone out of the window, however I'm going to get weighed on Friday to face the music then back on track on Monday, I know I should probably start on Saturday but it's Mickey's birthday so we will be going over there so a couple more days won't hurt.
I thought I would be feeling a bit crap with all the build up but to be honest I'm feeling quite positive. Work's going well, Elise is starting middle school and things are generally good :o)
Dave went back to work yesterday for the first day, it was just an initial meeting though so he's off again today lol. Him and Elise start back officially on Monday. She's really looking forward to it.
Still looking for holidays, think it's going to be the end of October and probably Lanzarote, so at least we've still got that to look forward to.
Going out for lunch with work today as our Project manager is leaving who will be a huge miss. We're going to the Black Door in Morpeth which used to be Henri's, I've not been since it's changed but it's supposed to be nice, I'll be making the most of it. LOL!
I've attached some pictures from Saturday but unfortunately haven't got many from Friday as DAve's camera broke :0(.
Anyhoo off for now. M x

Two new additions to the Muckle family :0)

Tuesday already, had a great weekend, Friday as I said we had Emma, Lee, Lewis and Andrew over. Saturday we got up and once we'd done a bit house work we had a walk over to the Fox Cover as it was a lovely day. We sat outside and had a few drinks then Cerrie, Mickey and the kids came and met us. It was really nice. We went home about sixish and sat in the garden. Claire and Chris came over later on followed by Chris' brother Pete and his girlfriend Lyndsey. We had a great night.
Sunday we got up and pottered round for a bit then went to meet my mam and dad at the Block and Tackle with Lewis, we stayed there till about 5.30 then came home as Elise was coming home with the two new rabbits, they are so cute. Once is her old rabbit called Sweetie and the other one is his son, Peter. They have separate hutches as apparently they will fight but they are just lovely.
Got my dress for the party on Sunday, I love it. Just need to sort shoes, bag and jewelery out then that's me sorted and Leesco still needs some new shoes. Uniform's all sorted ready for middle school. She looks so grown up.
She's off to Yasmin's this afternoon for her birthday, they are going to Gianni's for their tea then she's staying over.
Got another busy weekend this weekend then it's bank holiday Monday wooppee. Only 3 days at work for me next week.

Just today!

Struggling to keep up with the days now so no more counting days, it's annoying now. Been to get weighed and have lost 1.5lbs so not bad going considering I've been having food. Went to Matalan last night and got our big numbers (balloons) for the party, I also got some more confetti and bought a lovely dress (see picture)(yes Dave another one) but it was only £16 bargain.
Got Mer and Lee coming over tonight for drinks, going to make fajitas too.
Got to get back to work now.
Bye bye chicken pie. x

DAY 100 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My goodness 100 days and only a few slip ups. Had a bit of a disastrous weekend in the diet sense but other wise great. Friday I ended up not getting weighed as I didn't have the car and to be honest I had enough left to do me for a few more days, I was supposed to be going tonight but I've just emailed Paula and I'm going to wait until Friday.
Went to a friend of Joanna's on Friday night and had a really good night but did have some food. Saturday I took Dave and the boys to Morpeth then I went to Whitley with Leeney and Michelle. We had a great night it was good fun. I have to say there was some bonny sights in the Bay ha ha. Put it this way the girls were scrapping on the stage in Pier 39, classy.
On Sunday we went to Gianni's (yes bloody Gianni's) and again I had food. Bad, bad, bad girl. However since then I'm back to SS and feel fine. I'm just going to have to see how I've done on Friday. I felt a bit rubbish on Sunday night about it but to be honest now I know that I just have to get back on with it which I'm not finding too bad. :0) I certainly don't feel any worse or like I have put weight on so fingers crossed I might just get away with it.
Getting very excited for the party only 16 days to go woo hoo. Still got to get plates and cutlery, go and get the balloons and nip to Matalan. I've booked my nails, tan and eyelash extensions for the Thursday night. I have actually ordered another dress which is fab so may have changed my mind about the outfit but shall wait and see. Dave is not very enthusiastic about the whole thing at the mo because he knows that when the party is here his summer holidays are kind of over, what a bloody shame eh. Ha ha.
On the holiday front think we may have had another rethink on the dates, feeling a bit bad about taking Leesco out of school so think we may go in the October holidays. I suppose it's not that far away. It's going to be a bit more expensive but I suppose it'll be better for her. It's crap really the fact that they discourage you to take your children out of term time but at the end of the day when you're looking at £1000 more, well.
Had our Liam to stay last night, they were both hyper, very funny, they just wind each other up something rotten. Elise has got her friend coming to stay on Thursday then she is staying at her dad's on Friday and Saturday this week, so she's being kept busy.
Think I'm going to have a clear out of my wardrobe's tonight they are a tip, also could really do with throwing some clothes away which don't fit anymore but I'm rubbish and just hang on to things.
Off up the street now in the rain to go to the bank. Boo.
