Monday we stayed home.
Tuesday we went to story time at the library.
Today was meant to be a trip to the shops to pay off my layby but ended up runng out of petrol so had to call Jeep assist.. they came an hour later so just had time to get to play group!
After that we went to get miles hair cut, post office and then off to the shops to hunt for hair dye spray for Miles for Preschool crazy hair day tomorrow.
Had lunch out with the kids. I ordered this chicken pie thing i love and always used to eat, its a big plate of food and i used to eat it all and chip on top.. but today, i only managed half of it and no chips at all!
Guess my tummy is shrinking :)
21.5 kgs i've now lost.. or 3 stones in old money lol.
Still have a load of washing to put away and have to want to have a tidy up and its a bit messy.
Thursday i have to spray Miles' hair blue, drop him at preschool then go do the weekly food shop, i might take Greta to story time too while im up there at the library.. not sure how we will go without Miles there, she never does anything on her own.. the 2 days Miles is at preschool i usually just stay home with her.. but from next month she is starting ballet classes so i guess we will need to get used to doign stuff just on her own.
Have to go to collect a lay by at 2 sets of shops, really want to try on a couple pair of pants too to get something to fit me!
Then home to pay a few bills.
Friday no plans during the day but at night i am going out to dinner with friends.
No plans for saturday yet but on Sunday J is going away for work so plan on taking the kids out to some event or other in Hornsby and will get fish and chips for us all on the way home...
Then Monday next week i have tickets for the zoo so will most likely do that.
Tuseady story time.
Wednesday playgroup and we have a dinner with the principal of the kids school (which Miles is currently in the precschool of)..Need to find something to wear as nothing fits me now ive lost so much weight!
Thursday food shop and story time for Greta (Miles will be at pre school)
Friday - home, cleaning
Saturday dinner out with another group of friends.
Ok all for now.
Weigh in day tomorrow, i think i've lost abotu 1.2kgs this week but will weigh in tomorrow and see.

long overdue update
Wow, long time no see!
In brief:
So me at my fattest at the top, and taken today, 20kgs lighter, and about half way through my weightloss journey.
I went through my wardrobe and tossed out all my fat clothes, i just have a couple left that i will throw out as soon as i have bought myself a new set of clothes, i just have nothing to wear if i throw these out now! So will keep hold of them for anothe week or so then bye bye fat clothes :)
Few pics from the in-laws visit:
Ok thats about all for now
x
In brief:
- Mum in law and her hubby visited for a few weeks, kids loved it and we had a holiday to Pambula, which was lovely too.
- Miles is going great at Preschool, he's learning French and Music and visits the school library once a week and has story time.. its just a great place..
- Booking a holiday in Sept for Bali with my parents and my eldest newphew.
- Weightloss still going great, i've not lost 20kgs since i started in Oct last year... will post a before and now photo below.
- Greta is going amazingly, she talks so so well, she can say up to 10 word sentences, knows ABC, can count to 20.. can do amazing puzzles that Miles wasn't doing till he was at least a year older than her if not more.
- Sleepts 6.15pm till 8am and has a 2 or 3 hour nap most days.
- I've joined up for PAFA at Miles' Preschool (well Miles & Greta's as Greta will start in Jan next yr) - Its part of the school as well so its great as the pre-school is attached to the school so they will make friends at the preschool and all move up to the school together.
- Have a few things coming up. Principals dinner, Mums group dinner and also dinner out on Friday night with Greta's mums group. Really looking forward to a few meals out :) I've been on this diet for a few moths now and looking forward to a treat.

update
Busy couple of weeks.
Miles;
Little robot - remote control
Toy shop - to share with Greta (they LOVE to play shops together)
Lego - of a hospital
Dr's bag and accessories inc an x-ray machine
Tools and metal robot thing to make up (from his auntie)
Some books
Bubbles for his bubble maker
Ant farm
Greta:
New born baby doll
Barbie doll
Books
Dorothy cuddly
Dora doll
dora castle
Pram (from her auntie)
Vacuum cleaner (from Grandma)
and 3 great big boxes from My parents that i have no idea whats in them!
So i think they did pretty well.
Its been really tight this month, we have to pay for Miles' medical expenses on the 10th Jan so need to work that out somehow - but i get my tax return soon so that should cover a third of it.
Going on holiday in Feb and haven't saved nearly enough for that, so need to be really good with money in Jan in order to save enough for that!
Thats about it really.

- Had Miles Pre-school orientaion and our interview with the head of the Pre-school.
- kids Christmas party a Playgroup friends house with her kids and some others - Miles had a ball playing with his friends and Greta had a ball eating all the yummy food!
- Miles appointment with his surgeon - all looks good and made an appointment to to have his cast removed on the 10th Jan.
- Had a lovely meal out with Greta's Mums group and OMG all we did was laugh, GREAT night :)
- Jonathan is recovering from the MANFLU! He's actually been too bad and hasn't passed it on to the kids thankfully.
- Went to a Pantamime at the Library, it was really good..lots of chaising and kids squealing, both Miles & Greta LOVED it. Santa came for a visit at the end and Greta ate her own body weight in jelly Snakes!
- Took them to the last Story time at the library for the year, was ok, lots of craft and singing but was a bit chaotic.
- J had his 2 Christmas parties, complete with bollywood costume i had to go acquire for him lol!
- Took the kids into the city to J's work Christmas party - they had such a ball and i got to wander around the city for a couple hours window shopping. Miles got a Scooter from Santa and Greta got a Barbie - both LOVE their gifts :)
- Did food shop today.. not too bad, i got a turkey, a ham, a roast pork, some choclates and big tin of biscuits and spent just under the $200 mark so im ok with that. I spend $100 - $140 most weeks on food so an extra $60 on hams and turkey and biscuits and chocs was pretty good i thought.

Another great loss
I'm not down to a total of 14 kg's lost!
Im very happy with that however i do have about another 25 to lose :( but im well on my way.
Been raining for 2 weeks, alost none stop so im very grateful we have lots of indoor activities for the little ones, other wise they'd be so bored!
We have play group and Music class and story times at the librabry.. we did have to stay home wiht Miles for that firt week and the poor little man was so so bored, but he Christmas craft has been so good and keeping him occupied.
All our activites end this and next week - we had the last story time today at the libraby :(
Was really good though, they did singing, which Greta loves! and dancing which she is really into at the moment and can sing whole songs, mainly from the fairies and twinkle twinkle, word perfect, she amazes me with her vocab.
Erm...so a pantomime we are booked in to see next week, looking forward to that.. and of course Miles prep orientation on tuesday.
Then we have the Christmas party to go along to at Jonathans work for the kids, so quite a bit of sutff to keep them entertained until Christmas..and indoor stuff too so keep us away from this rain!
Im kinda happy its been cold cos with Miles' cast we can't let him go in the pool and if it were hot he'd want to be in he is such a little fish.
8 weeks till our holiday i am SO looking forward to that, these last 2 couple weeks have been so tiring, not had a brak all year so really looking forward to that.
I've never gone so long without a holiday - feel bad for not taking the kids anyway, its really important that they travel and get to see the world and we just havent gone anywhere all year, so glad we are going away in Jan and then hopefully to Fraser island in Aug next year then my parents will come visit in December :)
Not much else going on, just trying to keep the munchkins entertianed with lots of craft and christmas stories at the libraary and we have our playgroup christmas party, im looking forward to that next week, we are getting one of the dads to dress as Santa - so the kids will love that.
Oh i must confess to being talked into getting a santa photo of Miles.. i HATE santa photo's they're just so not me, just a bit tacky i always think and id never take my kids and stick them on santas knee if they didnt want to .. or actually i just never would anywa but Miles loved this particular santa so i had no choice!
Hope he doesnt ask again next year..
Greta is going through a grumpy phase but i think its because she hasnt slept all week during the day, i pop her in her cot and she just lays there and chats to herself but refuses to sleep - not had a day nap all week !!!
She is so so beyond tired and its tanty after tanty after tanty but she will just not give in and sleep.. so im just kinda putting her in her cot still each day at nap time and hoping one day she will start to have her nap again.
I was rumaging through the spare bedroom wardrobe and all these parcels came tumbling down on me, i didnt realise how many we actually had for the kids and Jonathan too - not a single one for me though :(
Some from us and my parents and my sister and then ones ive got for jonathan and a crafty from the kids but nothing for me :( guess it will stay that way unless i buy myself a little gift, but i kinda get myself lots of books so i guess i have them all year really! still would be nice for just one to open.. pedicure gift card! book token.. a nice lindt choccy box of something from Myer - they have the best choccy selection there especially for Christmas.. . so i might have to go and get myself something! i probably wont but i like looking in Myer at all the lovely stuff they have and DJ's too.
Ok i think thats all.. best go get her up cos she's not sleeping AGAIN!

Crafting
As well as getting the tree and lights up, to get us in the mood for Christmas, we have been doing a craft activity each day to do with Christmas.. Will (try) to do one a day until Christmas day..
Its amazing how excited they get, as soon as i go sit at their table they know what we are doing some craft and come running over so excited!
Greta will sit there for literally hours and take such great pride over what she's doing, i just hand it to her and away she goes, such total concentration, its fantastic.. Miles is so like me in that he starts off really well and gets into it then all too soon i see him getting fed up and rushes the end and just goes oh that'll do.. makes me laugh cos im so like that!
Anyway here are some pics so far, this is an activity from the 1st Dec and 2nd Dec, i didn't do one today as i didn't have all the bits i needed for it, but i think i can bodge it and will do it tomorrow.
