SOS - Save Our School!

Today I became a protester for a while, for a worthy cause. My son's school is under threat of closure by the county council. The local MP turned up and listened to a few of the parents, and the local paper and radio station were there as well.

We gathered together, children, parents, and teachers, on Princess Elizabeth Way near GCHQ. It was very cold but we got a lot of support from passing motorists! I hope that the school is saved as it is only 50 metres from our door and provides excellent education!

Save Monkscroft Community Primary School!

A week has passed so quickly

Last friday's injection of Anovex was painful and bruised badly its still there in its purple and blue state on my thigh. Thank-fully no-one ever see's that part of me so easily hidden.
Todays injection was just as painful , I do hope this doesn't bruise as badly or next week we might have to inject my upper arm. Oh well...

A brief undate on slimming progress , i lost a pound and FB lost 1/2 lb so we are going in right direction all be it very slowly , think my class leader called it the Scenic Route. We also got voted by the class Mr and Mrs Slimmiming World, quite embarrassing having a photo taken, given a certificate, a lovely paper weight and a banner which i had to wear..We really thought other contestents should of won it , but the class voted for us...

This week has been a real mixed bag. It is half term and my son has had a busy week , going to granny and grampys Sunday afternoon to Wednesday then to his Auntys till friday , then at his dads till Sunday. There isnt a chance for him to get bored as most days have had planned activities , his cousin Jake is also at granny and grampys. Then my sister picks them up on Wednesday and then drops him off on Friday so i think granny and grampy will sleep well Thursday onwards.. lol...

It has mean't i had time to do things. For example decorating bedroom on Monday , well a one day job is still on going as half the plaster came off the wall with the wallpaper ( i now know how to plaster!!), in time it will look nice.

Thursday evening we had two wonderful friends come over for supper/dinner/tea whatever you may call it .What a wonderful and refreshing evening we had. I really do value their friendship and i don't spend enough time in Christian fellowship, it is so refreshing to be able to talk freely and be yourself. Note to self i must entertain more often...

FB's (FatBaptist) sister and brother-in-law are coming down from London today and staying till Sunday, they have booked a Hotel/BB nearby and i am looking forward to spending some quality time with them.

07/02/06 weigh in

Well it was just pay and weigh tonight i really was not upto staying to class and neither was FB, to my amazement i lost 2 1/2 lbs bringing my total to 30 1/2 lbs loss...FB had a small gain but thats a little glitch that will be remedied for next week.
I will have to stay focused if this loss will stay a loss.

A rant thats better by far than any tablet...

Sighs......................

My waking up because of the pain in my legs and arms is even effecting dear FB as I am disturbing him through-out the night. I have quite a high tolerance of pain I believe, but this is frustrating!

I do see GP on wednesday but if i take anymore medication i will rattle!!
I know i really should not complain far worse folk than I in the world but I suppose I am feeling sorry for myself and need to release it here.
I feel so tired and drained and soo need to tidy up house but even the hoover is too much,even brushing my hair is painful.. some people might say great excuse lol. Ohh i still have my humour thank-fully and i will always have the Lord.
Would you believe it they have just started road works outside and the noise is deafening, see a good rant always makes you feel better honest....I have now finishes my rant and feel better. Knew i would. Arhhhh raod work noise has now gone..

Don't think weigh in tommorow will be a good one, over indulged in some wonderful food this weekend.

Tthank-you cards

Here are a few thank-you cards i did. Cost effective very basic cards.

31/01/06 Wiegh in....

Woohooo lost another 1 lb and got my two stone award, i have taken the scenic route on weight loss but i am getting there. FB lost 2 lbs and is catching up with me better get my skates on to stay ahead ( not if i am a competitive sort ..giggles).
In class i really try to encourage others and it shocks me how many cannot cook and live off packaged meals. Seems society today this is all to common, so i am on a mission to encourage others.
I am bringing in simple recipes to class for people to try and so far it seems to be working. I am by no means a brilliant cook but i am becoming more adventurous, FB does sometimes look at his plate and smiles nervously, i know he is thinking what on earth is she feeding me now.lol...
