Resolution

So new years resolution going well so far, 3 weeks in and 5lbs lost plus an inch off the hips and 2 inches off the waist :) Hopefully it will keep coming off.

January

January sucks! Getting back to work and trying to motivate yourself when the weather sucks bleuughhh.

Took my parents out for a meal for their 40th wedding anniversary on Sunday, lovely meal, I had roast pork but Stuart had roast pheasant. The diet went a bit to pot though with the apple pie and custard, having lost 3 lbs last week I doubt I will lose quite as much this week.

Had a routine blood test last week and it turns out i am anaemic, so more tablets to take! I feel like I am falling apart and i am not even 40!

Had some good news this weekend though Stuart has booked our weekend away in paris - 24th April - something to look forward to.

On Saturday Stuart had a tooth out under sedation at a dental clinic - I had to accompany him, the actual proceedure took 10 minutes but when he came out he was as high as a kite talking about mushroom leaders!!!!!!!! He then proceeded to lose his memory of everything for the next 4 hrs. He did not remember anything from going in to the dentist at 1210 to waking up at 4pm on the settee. I could have done anything to him :D

Cross stitch

So having done a tiny cross stitch card I decided to attempt a much larger project for my parents 40th wedding anniversary on 4th january. I finally finished it and I am very pleased with it if i do say so myself.Unfortunately the photographs have not come out very well but you get the gist.

Happy New year

Happy new year to everyone. Well it is all over for another 12 months. The Risebrow household was very pleased with what santa bought although mum and dad did have to go buy a pair of headphones for Alex on the 27th!!. The noisy theme continued with a set of singstar microphones for the PS3 for me and Abba singstar! - woohoooo.

pictures below of the girls with their 2 favourite presents - Sam and guitar hero 3 and Alex with her electric guitar.

Christmas day was spent round my parents, where a fantastic dinner was had and a great time by all.

Unfortunately Stuart and sam were recovering from the lurgy but it did not seem to spoil their Day too much. They of course duly passed it on to me and Alex on the 27th although thankfully we were both recovered enough to enjoy new year.

New years Eve was spent with friends at their house as they have enough room for us all to stay over and the kids all get along really well, the evening was spent getting drunk and playing mario kart on the Wii and singstar on the PS3 - Abba anyone! We finally went to bed about 2 am think and the kids were racing around upstairs about 730!!!!!

Having come back home there are some new years resolutions I am determined to keep this year.

1. I will lose 21 pounds before going to Florida in August

2. I will try and be more tidy at home

3. i will try to be more organised at work.

Watch this space to see how it goes! diet starts today.

One final picture because i think it is really nice, Sam this morning.
