house keeping and a goodbye

I'm going away tomorrow...

for 10 days..

with only ONE child!!

Don't know whether to dance or sing or cry or shout!

Hubby is look after the bigger 3

He'll be fine....wont he?!?

Anyway thought it would be a good time to rap up a few loose ends.

Firstly. I went 3 weeks without eating chocolate! Had a head ache day 2 but was fine the rest of the time. Then, had a blow out, and man oh man did I pay for it! Head aches, cranky, fogging in the head. Had no idea it could effect me so much! So chocolate is gone! Yay! Bike riding...week one was great and now, too hot! So I'm swimming instead :) So turning this fatty will take some time. And I'm ok with that.

Secondly. 7 jobs in 7 days. Well I did 6....in 17 days. You know kids, birthdays, sickness and all that lovely stuff. Very happy with the clean house, even if it took a whole lot longer, and even if it lasted 2 seconds. And the one thing I didn't do. Unpack the stuff from the move...

Thirdly. All that lovely binding! What on earth am I doing with all that?

Well. I made more

And used some....

You'll have to wait until I get back!

So. I'm off down south.

Staying with mum,

catching up with family,

attending a wedding,

shopping for a bridesmaid dress {ekkkk},

having an early birthday {did I mention I'm turning 30!},

and even going to my old sewing group where I will get too catch up with these lovely ladies and more.

See ya! xoxox

organisation and an operation

So we are trying a new thing in our house. It's called organisation. Have you heard of it??

It's new and it's scary....

We're giving this 'organisation' a go because from here until Christmas, less than 4 months away people, we are flat out. And with hubby working away they way he does, our time is worked out in blocks of 3 weeks, so it's like 4 weeks away!

And the other reason is, I'm jumping aboard the operation fat mum slim train. Yes people, I am a fatty. I have four lots of baby fat stacked on top of each other. It isn't pretty and it isn't healthy. So I've made a commitment to my family and myself to live a more healthy life.

So there, now you know.

Why you might ask am I telling you this? Because it will make me more accountable. I'm really good at 'oh I can do that, lets start tomorrow' or 'things aren't that bad' or 'i can't live without chocolate'. Well I'm starting today, things are THAT bad and millions of people live without chocolate and so can I! Enough of my ranting....

So join me if you like. Operation fat mum slim or in trying this organisation thing. Just letting you know whats going on because from time to time I may ramble on about something other than sewing and alike.

Goals for week one :

1. Ride bike 5 times

2. Chocolate is not my friend so stop treating it like one

3. Drink more water

4. Eat more fruits and veggies

Wish me well xox
