2 weeks ago I was on the phone to my mum saying that Bill was going away for nearly a week with work and man, I was busy with Phoenix.....did she fancy coming to stay and give me a hand.......
Nothing unusual with that for most people I should imagine EXCEPT, my mum is petrified of flying! I would never have expected her to come and only really said it in jest. I went on with my day, kids school run, Curves, errands then came home about lunch time to listen to 2 messages saying give her a call.....I did....and she asked me to pick her up at the airport the next evening!!!!! I was beyond excited and so pleased for her. Well, 2 weeks has passed, way to quickly and she is now back in France.....having flown home by herself! I am so proud of her for doing this and really, really hope that she now knows in her heart that she can do it again, she may hate it but she knows it is now possible. It was sooo lovely having her here, it made the week Bill was away doable, I really didn't want to have to turn work down and knowing the kids were with her was so much nicer and easier than having to land them with my very kind friends. Also, we got to do lots of Christmas shopping and coffee and breakfasts out, which has just been lovely.
I love you moomin and can't wait for you to come again. Again, I am sooo proud of you and Thank you xxxxx

Wow, it been ages!
I was doing so well for a while, wasn't I!!!
Been so busy for the last couple of weeks. So much been going on. Work has been awesome, I've set up a FB page for it, done lots of parties and got a big fair this weekend. Still looking for traders, esp overseas if anyone reading this is interested in joining me. Bill is away this week in Brussels with work and I asked my mum to come to England to help as I was really busy. Now anyone reading this who knows my mum will wonder how on earth that would happen as she doesn't fly!!! Well, she is happily ensconsed beside my cross stitching!!!! She flew. I am soooo proud of her and it is so lovely having her as company and back up for the kids while Bill away and I am working. It is typical that my busiest week is the one when Bill is away!
Still doing the Dukan and curving, so far lost 9lbs and 10 inches all over. Getting bored of Dukan so am going to adapt it a bit, by just cutting out the carb part but still doing it. Really hoping I can loose a bit more before Paris xxxx

Wedding Days!
15 years ago tomorrow, Bill and I got married!
I absolutely adore him....even when we get snippy with each other :-) and cannot imagine life without him! We got married quickly, there was no mucking around for us. We started dating in January '96, got engaged in July and then married in Nov. I knew!
We don't go in for gift buying as we never have any money spare as it is so close to Christmas! Today though was different! Bill came home from work early, nothing weird there and gave me these:
And then he gave me this:
They are absolutely gorgeous and sit so beautifully. I don't think I have had such stunning jewellery ever! They could be used on a wedding day!
Thank you gorgeous, I love you more now than I did then and I am blessed to have such a loving, wonderful husband and father to our children xxxx
BTW, the reason I got them today rather than tomorrow is because he gets up earlier than the kids and wanted them to see me open them....xx bless xx
Oh and I am wearing them right now!

Half Term madness!!
We had a wonderful half term. Here's a quick rundown and then some pix
Saturday - Haircuts for all the kids - they hadn't been done since before the summer!
Sunday - Church and movie day
Monday - spent day with gorg friend Caro and her family
Tuesday - Bill and William went to Museum of London to check out Roman stuff and girlies had a birthday party
Weds - Cornwall till Saturday night - see pix
Sunday - Church and Twins club Autumn fancy dress party
All the above was lovely, we are suitably tired and I for one was ready for the kids to go back to school just for a break but it was so wonderful spending time as a family and hanging out with Clare and Kenny too. Weds was the drive down and a lovely walk to park and seafront, Thursday it was raining so we got to see Cars 2, Friday we went to the beach with my cousin and his family which are what the pix are off, I couldn't post anymore as they were all of naked children, it was that warm....freaky and Saturday was swimming!! then drive home!

Dukan update
Half term was wonderful, pictures in another post......
Dukan however was not so easy! To cut a long story short I put on 3lbs but this morning when I weighed in I had managed to get most of it off and am only a lb away from my last weigh in. If I can loose 1lb this week I will be happy as I am back on my way!!!
That will only happen if I stick to it!!!!!!!!!!!
I'll keep you posted!!

A week on!!
Sorry for lack of blogging just really busy!!
We are still on Dukan, it's hard but worth it. I lost another 2lbs this week so half a stone so far for my UK readers!! Haven't found any amazing meals to tell you about, it is pretty much the same thing day in and day out!! We did do the school quiz, I ate the fish, no batter and about 8 chips and then we were back on it! Bill is still doing it too and that really helps!
Half term is now upon us so it is going to be harder with the children at home but it is not going to stop me. I have come this far and am not going to waste it...By my 40th, I'd like to be at goal!
Been curving lots this week which is awesome and working too so not much free time. Went for a farewell lunch with a dear friend today, I am gonna miss her so much even though she is only moving an hour away and we have only known each 4 ish years, we have been thru soo much together it will be strange and it won't be till she leaves that I will realise just how much I see her and depend on her. Love you Rach xx (I know you are reading this and see you on the 20th)
I'll keep you posted on the Dukan thing but probably not much this week as going to see my sis on weds til sat and so won't weigh in till Nov xxxx
