Stitching Rowe......Attempt 4

Hi all and welcome to my blog.......well my first attempt at a blog, so excuse any mistakes as I am learning as I go along! To all my friends that are following my blog (and if you are my friend and not following it, 1 question, why aren't you???) you may have noticed that I have turned into a fat frump......and I don't like it! So I am going to do something about it.......change! The diet starts tomorrow, on the 1st, and you all have to help me! Tell me when I am doing wrong, and please go cheer when I am doing right!

Anyhoo, enough prattling, more doing! I will also let you know about my stitching and parching, and about my folksy store, if it ever gets going!

Hope to see you all on her soon xx

Waiting........

Well looks like I am going to spend the day....waiting!! For a call about a council place, that will hopefully be warmer than he house I am in now! Cos my god is this place cold! Why does the day drag when you have to wait? And Gareth is watching snooker, how boring?!

Joshua is doing brill today, he had a sandwich and quavers with a cup of milk for lunch followed by a fromage frais and now he is chillin on his playmat trying to eat the seahorse

My diet is going well, haven't cheated, but don't think I am losing weight :( this is due I think to not being able to exercise, so what the hell am I gonna do? will keep trying but this is gonna get me down........think I will do some stitching to cheer me up!!

One down......two to go!!

Wooohooooo!! One UFo down, two to go! Can't do my sampler unless I can colour match a thread, so that's on the back burner :( but finished Winnie The Pooh and will start Audrey Hepburn just now. Wonder what I will do with this pic, as I love the one of her that I have already done............frame, cushion or maybe a gift....will have to see

Joshua is doing fab just now, he had sausage, mash, veg and gravy for dinner, followed by fruit puree.....he eats rather a lot lol and for lunch it was egg an bread. He wolfed it down, followed by a yoghurt. DOn't think I have to worry about him gaining weight or food phobias ;-)

We are however struggling with Robyn, for some reason she is being a little witch, ignoring her dad, stropping and giving major attitude. Oh the joys of 9yr old girls, and I still have puberty to get through, I may just kill her!!

And diet news is......FAB!! No slip ups, not even that hungry at night, will just have to see what the weigh in says next saturday.....fingers crossed!!!

Still going strong!!!

Well it's day 8 and I am still going strong! Even though I have been out and about, and Gareth has sat there eating junk, chocolate and god knows what in front of me I have managed to stay strong and stick to the diet. Will weigh myself shortly, my ain is to lose 2lb by next saturday.......here's hoping I can do it!!

Think I have post-Xmas blues, everything seems so bleugh! Don't even want to do the stitching or parching that I told myself I would do......really need to get my butt in gear, as have lots I want to do. And the aim is to get going on my Mirabilia kit. Only had it for 4 yrs now!!

We are watching Iron Man just now, meant to see it ages ago, and it's good! Though Gareth has fallen asleep half way through, that man has the attention span of a dopey dog lol

Anyway, that's me for tonight, will do my best to blog more, but it's a bit hectic here just now!! Night all xx

This is hard work!

Well this diet malarky is hard work! Been good though, breakfast, lunch and dinner and two snacks. No bad stuff, even though Gareth sat there and ate a full english breakfast in front of me! I had cereal and a low fat yoghurt.........really wanted the hash browns and bacon though! Will do some more work on the sampler tonight, after taking the decs down and clearing stuff. The sooner I get my UFO's done the sooner I can get my folksy shop up and running, not sure what I will be selling exactly, but will figure it out slowly. Joshua was weighed today, think he has lost weight somewhere along the way, probably when he had that nasty chest infection......oh well, will have to feed him up again, not hard the way he eats! After reading this back I have noticed something, I really waffle on! Note to self, sort it out!!!

Anyway, here's hoping that all goes the right way tonight, and I get some work done. And that we hear from Corby Council tomorrow!! Keep fingers crossed!!

First Day of the Rest of.....the Year!! lol

Well day 1 of the diet went well, stitching works wonders on your appetite, that and running round after little man! Didn't get a lot of stitching done, but as I only have 3 UFO's to finish it's not so bad. Will get pics of all my stitched stuff on here another day, and of course my WIP. As for my diet, 3 glasses of water, three proper meals and no snacks, just the odd coffee......I'm doing good at this!

Anyway, that's all for tonight, no stitching or bloggin tomorrow, will be out all day, so see you next week.......ttfn x
