Weight Loss

I don't think that I've mentioned weight loss here, except in passing. But it is a huge part of my life at the moment. The baby is a year old. When I got pregnant with her I had just joined Slimming World to try lose weight, I was at my heaviest. 15st 6lbs I think. … Continue reading Weight Loss

The difference exercise makes!

I was having a particularly sluggish day yesterday. I couldn't find the energy, or the motivation, to do anything. And I didn't even want to.

Things are changing in this home!

My husband has got a job! He had an accident 9 years and damaged his leg. He was self employed at the time. I was on maternity leave on our first child. He had to get a few operations, and he couldn't work, so that was the end of the business. His leg never really … Continue reading Things are changing in this home!
