So Many Clothes But Nothing To Wear

So Many Clothes But Nothing To Wear

I have a wardrobe full of clothes that don't fit. Actually make that 2 wardrobes. Plus a HUGE chest of drawers. And stuff under the bed. Not to mention the coats and cardigans hanging up under the stairs.
The First Rule Of Dieting

The First Rule Of Dieting

Everyone knows the first rule of dieting is to empty your fridge. And your cupboards. And those tins of chocolates hidden away from the kids.
The Sunday Blues

The Sunday Blues

Hands up if you get the Sunday Blues?

At around 4pm every Sunday afternoon I start to get an overwhelming feeling of doom and gloom. I think it is because the best part of the weekend has gone and Monday morning is looming large.
Why Am I Doing This At 2am

Why Am I Doing This At 2am?

I'm a dreadful sleeper. I always have been, but recently it has got a lot worse.

In theory, it should be getting better. My youngest is now 2 and doesn't wake up quite so much in the night any more.
Wine O'Clock

Wine O'Clock

Chin chin and up yer bum. It's Saturday night and I'm having a glass of wine.

The Reason I Want To Get Fit And Healthy


I'm an older Mum, having had my kids in my 30s. I'm all too aware that I've not got the energy I want to run after my kids. I know that age is not particulary on my side, but my weight and lack of fitness is a bigger problem than my date of birth.

This morning it told me quite cheerfully that I'd slept a total of 4 hours and 51mins. With 59 mins awake. Whoopycrappydoo.

slimming world walk of shame

The Slimming World Walk Of Shame

2 years ago I lost a decent amount of weight on Slimming World. I let things slip and slide and now I'm back at Square One. I've got to get back to Slimming World before I start wearing my old maternity clothes again!
Don't Look Down At Your Weight

Whatever you do, DON'T LOOK DOWN!

I've been burying my head in the sand about my weight for a good 6 months. I knew the weight was slowly creeping back on, but I decided that if I didn't weigh myself, it wasn't true
