Me with my two sisters @ said party! Everyone had to get into the spirit of things, lol. 

This is Caitlin and a little friend at my mum & dad's halloween party on Saturday evening. She had a wonderful time! 

Dentist In The Morning

I am getting my tooth pulled in the morning. A molar, I think that's what it's called.


Bad thing :: I already feel sick just thinking about it!

Good thing :: I probably won't be able to eat until I get weighed at WW on Tuesday morning.


It was either have it pulled or have a root filling but the thing is, two years ago I had another tooth root filled and then this year had to have it crowned. I'm not going through that again. Plus it cost over £700 combined, for one tooth! I just can't justify that sort of money again. It's not worth it and I'm still paying for that work!

Another thing I've noticed is that the older I get ~ the more frightened of the Dentist I've become.

It’s to do with my vivid imagination. Honestly. I visualise what he is doing and it makes me cringe. I’m not that good about breathing with all the instruments stuck in my mouth too and I know one day I’ll have a panic attack. So I’ve decided to get sedated tomorrow.

Now that I’m looking forward too, lol.

This was taken on Sunday on the way to a brithday party! Guess she thought she'd have a snooze and save her energy for the party, lol. 

My weight loss goal

Went to WW this morning and down 1lb. That’s 3.5 lb in 4 weeks. Not bad I suppose.

The words ”Slow and steady wins the race” come to mind!

If I’m to be totally honest, then I need to make a decision, based on how I answer the following questions.

• Am I happy with my rate of progress? _{If so, then fine. I carry on as I am doing and can continue to have my little treats here and there, make 80% healthy choices & keep up with the current level of exercise.}

• Do I want to see faster / better results? If so, then I need to step it up a gear. Cut out the “lyte” bar of choc and low-fat crisps. Stick to the plan and increase my exercise.

So, which is it to be?????

Right now I can’t give an honest answer. I want to lose weight for the upcoming wedding, I want to lose weight for going back to work in January but I’m losing sight of the real reason I started and that was to get my body back in shape and be healthy, just in case we try for another baby some time in the next 18 months.

I’d like to be in the ‘bestest’, tip top shape my body can be in cause pg takes a lot out of me and following so closly to Lauren’s birth could just be so wrong for me.

Jabs & Sleep

Lauren got her second set of shots this morning.

So far, so good.

Why oh why, when there are at least 3 of them in the room, do they not take a leg each and do it at the same time? This would save on Lauren's pain and my anxiety!

I must admit, however, she didn't cry for long and I made sure to point out the person responsible for the discomfort. Her cards are marked as far as Lauren is concerned!

Night before last Caitlin had a nightmare. About a crocodile. Poor love was distraught, no more Peter Pan for her! It took nearly 3 hours before she fell asleep again.

This morning Lauren decided to try and wake at 4am but I was able to ssh her over until 6.30am.

I was still a bit pissed with this time but I had made a deal with God earlier, like at 4am, and asked that if she went back to sleep for at least another 2 hours, I promised to get up out of bed, take her down stairs and not complain. So it had to be done.

Of course, this was the morning Caitlin decided to have a lie in until 8am. First words out of her mouth when I went into wake her "There was no crocodile last night Mummy"

My girls are just out of sinc with each other!

This goal has to happen in 2006

I return to work in Jan’06 after 6 months maternity leave but due to high childcare costs, I have to pluck up the courage to apply to work from home some days or amend my hours.
