Happy New Year!

Where have the past few weeks gone?!

So much for my new years resolution to blog weekly :) a few others have fallen by the wayside too but my list will remind me of the things I aim for.

We had a nice new years eve, taking a walk for a pub lunch, enjoying a few drinks and going home on the tea time bus. We were all asleep by about 9.30pm and were only woken briefly by the new year fireworks. M slept through them.

Managed a couple of alcohol free weeks before our magical weekend in Venice. Pics to follow with a separate post when I get around to it. Forgot to get back on the wagon when we got back though - ooops :) Now trying to cut down again as part of my diet.

Have rejoined Weightwatchers - free via Quidco as cashback is the same as the fee. I joined in January but have just restarted and am trying to stick with it. This is really my first proper week and I have weighed and measured. I am aiming for a 5% loss to begin with that is 8lb which I should do by 20th March if all goes to plan.

Planning another tattoo this summer and would like to be a bit thinner by then. Also hubby said if I get down to my true goal weight he will give me some money which will pay for the tattoo :)

All is fine with us. Busy dealing with sale of mum in laws house which is going through. It is hard going through her stuff even though it is almost 18 months since she passed away. Miss you Pre x Was glad to be able to pass a lot of the furniture to a friends brother and his family who have just moved here and were in need. I am sure she would be glad we could help out.

Mitchell is still struggling to get to sleep at the moment and is shattered and grumpy in the mornings after being late in bed. I need a strategy and will give it some serious thought. We tried a routine where we get ready for bed, have quiet play, have milk and a biscuit and read books but then more often than not, he starts fidgeting and wanting to get up, play, have something else to eat or drink etc. I just don't know how to keep him in bed!

He is full of love at the moment though and says the nicest things. When I get frustrated at bedtime, he just says 'its all right mum' or 'I just luuuve you' and gives me a big cuddle!
