Hi, Welcome to the forum.

Please!! Can I first (or secondly as it happens) say that I can't use that un you have chosen despite the fact that it is quite funny, so hope you will enlighten us as to some proper name to address you by .. call me old fashioned if you will...

However, Well done in starting up your own diary as that makes it much better for us to be able to read about your progress and offer you any support etc as time goes by. Plus do love it when people take the trouble to fill in their profile details properly .. lots of Brownie points there..lol!

Looks like you are doing very well altho' am not a SW follower but am sure you will get the thumbs up from those in the know..

Keep up the good work....

Hi NumNum,

Just wanted to say hi, i'm a newbie myself (to this site, not SW) and have only recently started keeping my own diary in the hope it'll keep me on the straight and narrow lol. Well done on your losses so far.

emma, just call me Piggy (very apt!)

Thanks for the support! We will all be shadows of our former selves in no time!

Absolutely shattered this morning! 4 year old is off nursery, hubby is working earlies so had to get up at 5.30am to take him to work so that I could have the car to take our baby who's 8 weeks for a hip check up at the hospital. All this after about 2-3 hours sleep per night for the past week and I am totally puggled! The 2 girls are upstairs playing just now and my little guy is sleeping but who knows how long the peace will last lol

...and the peace is shattered. Fighting over a pram, ahh the joys of having 3 kids under 5

Hello from a fellow piggy! lol

I also have 3 kids, but not under 5. My eldest is 9, it's still hard work though.
Best of luck with everything.

Well, I have been a lazy swine today!! Hubby is working an early again, (but only 10hours today yahoo!!) so I told him to take the car as I couldn't bear/bare? (my grammar is terrible) another 5.30am start on no sleep. Threw the girls out into the garden to play whilst I did a half hearted attempt at tidying up the house. I stopped after I'd finished downstairs, visitors rarely go upstairs anyway so the facade of having a clean home will remain .
Baby has been a grizzle guts today so my sanity is wearing thin at the moment. I can guarantee as soon as Daddy comes home he'll be full of cheeky grins and playfulness and I'll be made to look like a lying trout. Still absolutely shattered, being anaemic whilst having an evil first post natal * is taking it's toll. I don't think I pull off the zombie look very well :P Anyhoo, enough of my mad ramblings today has gone/will go as follows:

Breakfast
Shape 0% yoghurt with melon and grapes

Lunch
1 dry fried egg, 1 quorn sausage, 2 rashers healthy living bacon and half a tin of beans (MMMMmmmm)

Dinner
Steak, S/W potato wedges and roasted vine tomatoes

HeB: 2 x AlpenLights
HeA: SS milk and 1 light mini babybel

No doubt a cheeky little curly wurly or creme egg will be on the cards for later num num pig's bum!!

In the end I settled for 3 fingers of a kit kat which brought my total syns to 9?

Yesterday was mad busy. Had to take the hubby to work, then get all 3 bratfinks washed, dressed and fed and off to my folks for lunch. I prepared a bag full of food for me so that I wouldn't be tempted by cakes, biscuits and other noms that they normally have but eejit me left it hanging on the kitchen door I did however remember the butternut squash soup that I had made so it wasn't a complete disaster. Had a lovely walk with the bratfinks, my folks and their mutley. Got home for the girls to be invited to an impromptu birthday party next door so left them there as I went and picked up hubby from work, then went next door to join in when we got home to be met with a table full of goodies and booze EEEEP!!! I was very good though and only had a glass of water (whilst drooling all over my neighbours couch ). Well after all the faffing about trying to round up the girls we finally got home at about 9.30pm and I was beyond STARVING! Was meant to have some kind of prawny dish for tea but I bugger me if I was going to cook that late so I just had another bowl of soup and a cheeky creme egg . Phew! Inlaws are coming over for dinner tonight so a mad. rushed clean up of the house and an attempt at making a SW friendly edible meal that my FIL will eat ... no pressure at all

Fankoo was quite proud of myself actually as I was dying for a glass of wine! When I started SW I said I would allow myself some vino as a reward if I managed to stick to the plan until my lo's christening. Another 3 weeks to go and I can get sozzled Although I think I had better wait until after the church service ...

Weigh in days are Thursdays for me so another 3 sleeps until Day. Fingers crossed for a loss.

So today was another busy day. Gutting the house for the inlaws coming over and then doing all the cooking from scratch. We somehow managed to accrue extra children which is very random as we live in the middle of nowhere and only have 1 neighbour? They all enjoyed themselves anyway whoever they were so I suppose that's all that matters Lol. Today hasn't been fantastic for food as I just grabbed when I could as I was always needed for something or other.

Monday 25th April
Breakfast
An apple and a banana (shocking I know)

Lunch
Bowl of butternut squash soup, half a satsuma (it was VILE! Not sure if it was off or just a dodgy one but it was horrendous!)

Dinner
2 homemade burgers (1 with a mini light babybel in it (1/2 HeA)), SW chips and an attempt at a salad (my daughter kept pinching it). Shape 0% yoghurt.

Snacks
2 alpen light bars (HeB)
I'm thinking I'll have a curly wurly (6syns) in bed as a treat for all of my culinary work today (any excuse really!)

Drinks
2xtea, 1 coffee (milk 1/2 HeA), 3/4 litre NAS diluting juice, glass of pepsi max

Total syns: 6

oooo I lied! I had a tablespoon of light coleslaw on one of me burgers so add another 2syns on? I'll have to weigh it next time as I'm not sure how much 100g of it is and 100g is 3.5 syns.

So new total of syns = 8

Oo I'm slacking, apologies. Yesterday was a nightmare! After having a lovely picnernic with the hubby and kids everything just seemed to go wrong. The drain blocked so couldn't do the dishes (NICE!), I then had an epic fail by not ruining only 1 dinner but 2 resulting in me eating 3 quorn sausages for tea and nothing else. Then I go to asda to do the weekly shop after specifically asking the hubby if he'd left my bank card in my purse to which he said yes, I get to the checkout to discover the bugger had indeed taken it out . So I have to phone him to do a bank transfer into my account so I can pay for the mountain of food I've just bought, all the while a queue of murderers is forming behind me looking at me in a threatening manner whilst tapping a frozen leg of lamb like a baseball bat. I was just waiting for them to mass stampede and club me to death with it when hubby eventually said it went across successfully. Needless to say I scarpered away sharpish

I also learned that wearing my ipod whilst shopping is perhaps not the best idea ... I got caught out twice belting out random 80's tunes full pelt and jigging at the same time whilst groping parsnips and cucumbers. Thankfully it wasn't by someone I knew so my street cred is still in tact *cough*.

So yesterdays scran (Tuesday 26th April)
B: 4 x lean bacon, dry fried egg, grilled tomatoes
L: Ham and baby leaf sarnie (HeB) with extra light mayo (1/2 syn), tomatoes, cucumber, carrots, grapes, pear

Snacks:4xbuttons, 4x crisps (2syns?), bag of mini ryvitas (5syns), curly wurly (6syns)
Drinks: pepsi max, NAS diluting juice, 2 x tea (HeA)

Total Syns:14.5

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MEEEEEEEEeeeeeee, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME "

Well if you didn't guess it's my birthday today. Sadly not much of an occasion as my inlaws have snaffled my girls for the whole day (they said it was to give me a break bless them), Hubby is working until 7pm (started at 7am BOO!) and will bring the girls back when he's finished so took the car with him. Because I live in the middle of a field (literally) this means that's it's just me and my 9 week old little boy trapped in the house all day. I won't complain though as the peace is lovely and I'm actually getting to bulk cook in peace for once . Have a huge pot of super speed soup on the hob at the moment. Looking forward to trying that out tomorrow!
