Chris took the girls out for a walk today – so will let him do the blogging. I am fractious – hence wine! i had managed to lose 8lb on my diet, but all this stressing and chocolate and wine therapy has put half of that back on – sigh.

Oh well, read more from the usbourne encyclopaedia with SB, today she chose: art, diferent people and homes. She also did 4 pages explode the code 2 – she wondered how sam was so far ahead of her, and meanly, I said because he does it every day! i believe with Chris she did some singapore maths. She also finished her hama princess – somewhat amazingly, as she has redesigned it mumerous times. it is, well, faceless!
She was desperate to sow some more seeds, so we sowed the extra early purple sprouting brocolli ‘rudolph’ BB sowed some butternut squash seeds. Merry, when you do your allotment, if they all germinate, we may have some to offload!

Just gone and got more wine

More hama, and i permafed BB since she came home really. oh, and we read a new Mog book.They are having bath, and I plan an early night – though I do have a talk to write at some point this week.

SB back, and wants me to read more encyclopaedia – the travel bit!

Finally given in and bought some scales for home waitwotchering. Slightly depressing reading! Just 7kg over the weight I put on insurance forms, so need to lose that in the 3 weeks before medical. Will power required!
This BMI site suggests that I aim for 81kg as my goal rather than some unrealistic figure, so that is what I am going to do ultimately, but some weight loss goals in interim – 7kg for ASAP, then 16kg to become overweight rather than obese.

Spent today chasing quotes for new house insurance – come out at about 100pm for just buildings. ony 80 more than current house then. Also chasing up date of aforementioned medical. chris somewhat peeved that my phonecalls to insurers quick and concise, yet they always asked him oodles more questions and then got cut off. I think it is his dodgy sarf london accent!

Going to pick up SB from nursery soon [after cup of tea] House is just SO quiet on a monday!! She will be excited by scales, so i predict a bit of comparitive maths will occur.
