If You Fail To Prepare, You Prepare to Fail

Thank You Hun :) Poppy would of had 100% in Year R too but I let her have the day off for our Nan's Funeral, in hindsight now I'm not sure if it was the right thing to do but I wanted her there at the time.

I got Poppy's Teacher a Personalised Thorntons 'Trophy' which she loved and Poppy chose and wrote her a really nice card! She didn't have a TA this year so that was easy lol!

I had a lovely time last night! X

The school must be extremely pleased with her attendance then X

That sounds a lovely gift, handy only having 1 teacher to buy for aswell. I got Maisies 1:1 flowers, choc and wine and her teacher a nice card and wine. Then got nursery couple boxes of choc as there's so many of them.

Morning Everyone!

Had such a lovely time last night, it was a lovely evening just chatting with colleagues and having a laugh! I got home at Midnight!!!! I managed to clock up another 20k steps yesterday, it's definitely been a good week for exercise!!!!

It was a BBQ so I had a Veggie Burger in a Sundried Tomato Ciabatta with Cheese, Onions and Burger Sauce with a few chips and salad on the side! It was yummy and I had Appletiser to drink, delicious!

Here's what I chose to wear:

I have to be honest and say I wasn't entirely happy with how I looked, I think I've looked slimmer but it's always different at the end of the day when you're all hot and bothered!

Have a great Saturday everyone, Day 1/40 and Operation Malta commences!!!!

Lots of Love Serena x

My Parents don't very often have Poppy to stay, the last time was for the Christmas Do I think so I really appreciate it when they do!!! Wait till you read my update later, you'll wet yourself when u read what I've been getting up to!!! X
 
Evening Everyone!!!

I'm not sure if today was Operation Malta or a remake of Challenge Anneka :D:p

We now both have underwear, pjs, bikinis, beach towels, tshirts/long shorts for travelling, vests/short shorts for holiday, dresses/playsuits/cardigans for the evenings and all the toiletries we could possibly ever need!!!!

As you can imagine this has been a rather busy 12 hours of list writing, finding, trying on, buying and then packing but yey it's all done and in our cases!!!!

Operation/Challenge complete!!!!

Now to collapse in a heap on the sofa......

Lots of Love Serena X

I ended up going to Savers today, they are so cheap even for branded stuff, somethings were half the price of Asda!!!! X

Thank Goodness for Pay Day!!!! I didn't spend too much tho, luckily lots of places had sales/offers on! X
 
Evening Everyone!

Today's been another busy day but a very enjoyable one!!!!

This morning Poppy's Dad took her to a birthday party and I went to get Oreo's Food.

This afternoon my best friend, hubby and little boy came up from Salisbury to visit :) Her family were all there too, it was such a lovely afternoon! We just chatted and laughed in the sunshine, was lush!

Here's a few photos from today (the other adorable little boy is Hugo's 3 year cousin Ethan :

We use to be always counting down to pay day!! It's a good time go go on holiday with all the sales are on - hope you got some good bargains x

Gotta love a bargain!!!! It limits choice a little bit but there's always enough to buy! X

There such lovely photos of you all- it sounds a great Sunday. Hugo is getting big now x

I really enjoyed today, they're like family to me too as we've been friends for 21 years, a lot has happened in that time x

I like those 25 percent off days- usually always get a few things then.

Thats a lovely and special friendship you have there especially that you both make the effort to meet up regularly.

Do you find your enjoying socialising more since losing the weight x

I always find it funny that we both drive hundreds of miles to see each other so regularly but I have friends who live in the same town as me and I never see them! I guess some friendships are just worth the effort whereas others are more acquaintances!

I absolutely love socialising now, it doesn't bother me that I don't drink and I don't have to eat but I love being out and about. I'm not permanently exhausted or feeling ill or uncomfortable in my clothes, it's a cliche but life is good now. Plus the camera is always out, I don't even have any photos of Hugo from last year as I didn't want my pic taken, since this year every time we've met the camera is out!!!! X

I think that's the same with myself now a lot of friends are more acquaintances if that to be honest and family is the same now.

It's great your so much more confident and enjoying life now and your getting lots of photos to make up for last year. It's also nice for Poppy to see her
Mummy much happier xx

Thanks Hun :) Me and Poppy are a team so I love our time we spend together. X
 
Good Evening Everyone,

Today's been another productive day!

Online checked in and printed boarding passes, had eyebrows waxed, cleaned the whole house, watered all the plants, cleaned Oreo out, dropped him at my parents, went to McDonalds Fun Day, bathed Poppy and washed her hair, put the bins out, downloaded some music/games/programmes and packed hand luggage! Just putting Poppy to bed and then I need to have a bath myself and get to bed.

Have to be up at 0230 to leave at 0300, flight is 0620!!!!

Have a great week everyone,

Lots of Love Serena X
