Morning ladies...I love your 'ramblings' Ann isn't that what our conversations would be like if we were sat having morning coffee together? Well it would have to be tea for me as I don't like coffee but you know what I mean. 
Poor Lucy and her sore tail, I'm pleased to hear it will be ok. Amazing though how much damage a cat can inflict on another in a few moments isn't it. I'm always seperating our two as they really don't get on well together but sometimes they must have a good old scrap when were not here to make them behave because I find little bumps and scratches when I pet them.
I tried yesterday and today to add a couple of photos of Robert's leg but it won't let me it keeps saying there is an error so I will try and add them to an album when I've posted this message.
Yesterday a guy called with an ariel photo of our house and said it was £35 framed. It looked very nice and I would have paid up on the spot but knew Wac would moan about the cost. Normally I don't bother what Wac says but this is something I couldn't keep quiet about, not like a new dress that I tell him I have had ages!
Anyway I asked the guy to come back at 7pm and speak to Wac as he would be more interested than I was so he did. Wac managed to grind him down to £20!! I was gobsmacked! I know Wac is very good at business deals but that deal was amazing! lol The photo was taken last November so it has all the extension, conservatory, the motorhome and my car which I usually keep in the garage. I might try to scan it in and show you all.
Yes Ann I am very serious about getting fit and losing weight. When I was approaching 40 I was determined not to be fat and forty but....
and now this year I shall be 48 omg!!! me 48???
anyway before I get to 50 I want to weigh what I did before I had Robert which was about 9st13lb, that is my goal anyway. Also with all the problems I am having with my feet I thought what's the point of trying to get them sorted whilst they are having to carry extra weight around. I started on a special eating plan 2 weeks before xmas and have only broken it for a couple of days at xmas and then the days I was away last week and after weighing myself this morning I have lost 18lb so far. 
This week I have had 3 people who haven't seen me for a month go WOW! you can really tell your losing weight and it has felt soooo good! I'm a little sad for all my really nice clothes that I won't be able to wear for much longer but already I am buying a smaller size and I feel so much better in myself. It's a plan some people wouldn't agree with and it's something a year ago I first started thinking about and then dismissed as you are on very low calorie shakes and 4 litres of water so you are guaranteed to lose on average 4-5lbs a week but I have tried all the other slimming clubs and eating more healthy and restricting my intake but losses were too slow and I love my food too much to not be able to enjoy what I like for months and months and months with only an odd lb being lost here and there. Already I have started to view food more differently and whilst I was on holiday I enjoyed a dessert but looked for the smallest slice of gateaux and only had a drizzle of cream whereas before I would have had the largest piece and let it swim in cream.
lol Anyway so far so good, I watched a colleague disappear before my eyes in the 6 weeks up to xmas and that was the incentive I needed to get me started.
Now I've 'fessed' up I'll keep you posted on my progress. Weigh in days are usually Sunday or Monday depending on when the pharmacist is working.
I'm not working till this evening but have a podiatry appointment this afternoon. Between now and then I shall watch an episode of Deal or No deal whilst I pound the treadmill.
Time for my first shake of the day and the first litre of fluid I have to drink this morning. Usually a few cups of nice warm water go down well.
See you later
