&lt;br /&gt;
Drum roll please&amp;gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt; a&amp;nbsp;grand total of...... 14.5lbs of fat gone for good! &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I have dropped 2 dress sizes from a size 18 (uk size) to a size 14, so as you can imagine i am well and trully chuffed. The diet was getting easier and easier each day. Although my weird addiction for fishfinger sandwiches got the better of me on a few occasions, but i ate them, enjoyed them, then started afresh the next day.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Im really starting to feel that my overeating habbits are starting to fade away, if one measly sandwich can taste so good and actually count as a meal rather than a snack, then i think ive got this covered! Bring on next month another stone loss and a very happy girl i will be. At this rate i shall be at my slender 9 stone figure by April.Size 10 here i come! &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;&quot;&gt;Ok here are my disgusting pictures, please exscuse me&amp;nbsp;stuffing my face and drinking in my first pic (so attractive!) and in the second i hadnt long got up and hadnt yet washed my hair (will make more of an effort for the next set i promise) and the gross dress errrrrrrrrrrr yukkkkkkk but it does show the comparison.

I have tried to pursuade myself to keep possitive and that a new year will mean a fresh start and hopefully better things will happen for us, just a shame i let myself ruin christmas because of my own self pitty. But i will write about all that when i have stopped being pissed off about it all.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anyway New year for me means new years resolutions so here we go the same as most years actually&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Lose 4.5 stone&lt;br /&gt;
2. Go the gym more often&lt;br /&gt;
3. Cut down/give up smoking&lt;br /&gt;
4. No more alchohol&lt;br /&gt;
5. Be less stressed &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Well so far ive not cut down smoking and im still stressed but suprisingly i have given up alcohol. Im on my 5th day of the Cambridge Diet and as soon as the snow has gone ill be straight up the gym and ive got to say im begining to feel more confident and possitive im actually looking forward to doing some physical exersize!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;I was really exited about starting the Cambridge Diet as weird as it may sound but there really are some fantastic success stories, people seem to lose weight at a great speed and theres also a realistic programme to finish to help you maintain your ideal weight. I have decided that i need to shift 4.5 stones to make me feel normal again so here are my stats for starting my diet (aperently im classed as obese!)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hight=&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 5.5 feet (1.67meters) or (66 inches)&lt;br /&gt;
Starting weight =&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;13.1 stone (183.4lbs) or (83.18 kilos)&lt;br /&gt;
Starting BMI=&amp;nbsp; 31&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Waist Size= 37 inches (93.98 cm)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I know bloody scary isnt it! Well my first weigh in is on tuesday with my counsiller Brenda, we have decided the best programme for me is the sole source which means all i eat is 3 sachettes a day either of milkshakes soups or porridges so i decided to go for the porridge and 2 soups a day. Im very impressed with the support shes very&amp;nbsp;lovely and still on the diet even though she looks amazing! so i really feel like i can do this in fact every day its getting that little bit easier.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Day 1. Picked up my soups and porriges from brenda, its expensive works out about 38.00 a week (sorry no pound sign) soups are yummy not sure about porrige but not really that hungry all day so big thumbs up!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Day 2. Woke up hungry this morning looking forward to porrige didnt taste that bad actually (apple and cinemon flavour) was desperate for&amp;nbsp;my soup&amp;nbsp;by luch time absolutly starving! got a really dry mouth and my lips are chapped going to the loo every 10 mins because of the water intake. Evening was even worse went bed early to stop thinking about food.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Day 3. Last night i was dreaming about my diet and how someone put milk in my tea an i went mental and started hitting them saying &quot;youve ruined everything, i hate you&quot;&amp;nbsp; bit extreme i know must be a sign of my metal state! dont feel quite so hungry today, my stomache is very rumbly though and really starting to struggle with the 3 ltrs of water a day, begining to make me gag. Starving by evening started playing games on my p.c to take my mind off it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Day 4. Didnt sleep well last night, im drinking lots of tea and coffee to take the edge off so going very often to the loo and buzzin around like a looney. Found it difficult getting breckfast down, but really not so hungry today im hoping this is the Ketosis kicking in and im burning some of the fat off. Starving by 9pm again didnt get to sleep till 2am.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

I &lt;span id=&quot;SPELLING_ERROR_1&quot; class=&quot;blsp-spelling-corrected&quot;&gt;haven&#39;t&lt;/span&gt; been asked yet if i want my boy to have the vaccine which &lt;span id=&quot;SPELLING_ERROR_2&quot; class=&quot;blsp-spelling-corrected&quot;&gt;I&#39;m&lt;/span&gt; a little annoyed about even though i &lt;span id=&quot;SPELLING_ERROR_3&quot; class=&quot;blsp-spelling-corrected&quot;&gt;haven&#39;t&lt;/span&gt; decided yet if i would let him have it, it still would be nice to have the option.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway i have been a bit of a mean mummy because of my paranoia which i think is completely justified given the fact that he is my first baby and possibly my last. Obviously i want to wrap him up in cotton wool and protect him from all those nasty germs but also i wont let him near any children who could be potential carriers. Which made my mothers offer to take him to visit &lt;span id=&quot;SPELLING_ERROR_4&quot; class=&quot;blsp-spelling-corrected&quot;&gt;Santa&lt;/span&gt; seem like a putting my baby in a leper camp (which he hated by the way, i was secretly pleased as that meant a speedy get away)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But &lt;span id=&quot;SPELLING_ERROR_5&quot; class=&quot;blsp-spelling-corrected&quot;&gt;I&#39;ve&lt;/span&gt; sort of developed a self inflicted &lt;span id=&quot;SPELLING_ERROR_6&quot; class=&quot;blsp-spelling-corrected&quot;&gt;agoraphobia&lt;/span&gt; and banished us to the &lt;span id=&quot;SPELLING_ERROR_7&quot; class=&quot;blsp-spelling-corrected&quot;&gt;safety&lt;/span&gt; of the house. &lt;span id=&quot;SPELLING_ERROR_8&quot; class=&quot;blsp-spelling-corrected&quot;&gt;I&#39;m&lt;/span&gt; not a great fan of leaving the house when its so bloody cold outside anyway and &lt;span id=&quot;SPELLING_ERROR_9&quot; class=&quot;blsp-spelling-corrected&quot;&gt;I&#39;ve&lt;/span&gt; avoided visiting friends who have all seemed to have gotten some kind of flu bug recently and so far we managed to stay bug free.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But this paranoia has turned me to dislike other peoples children i &lt;span id=&quot;SPELLING_ERROR_10&quot; class=&quot;blsp-spelling-corrected&quot;&gt;don&#39;t&lt;/span&gt; mean kids i know, i mean strangers kids you know the ones that really piss you off. The supermarket screamers and the snotty nosed ones, the ones whose parents seem not to notice the string of snot dangling from there nose, which &lt;span id=&quot;SPELLING_ERROR_11&quot; class=&quot;blsp-spelling-corrected&quot;&gt;usually&lt;/span&gt; gets sucked back in via either nose or mouth or wiped dry with grubby little hands.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It makes me &lt;span id=&quot;SPELLING_ERROR_12&quot; class=&quot;blsp-spelling-error&quot;&gt;soooooo&lt;/span&gt; angry that people &lt;span id=&quot;SPELLING_ERROR_13&quot; class=&quot;blsp-spelling-corrected&quot;&gt;don&#39;t&lt;/span&gt; have a clue about cleanliness and germs especially with the &lt;span id=&quot;SPELLING_ERROR_14&quot; class=&quot;blsp-spelling-corrected&quot;&gt;flu&#39;s&lt;/span&gt; and winter bugs. I understand that yes you cant keep your kids clean all of the time but &lt;span id=&quot;SPELLING_ERROR_15&quot; class=&quot;blsp-spelling-corrected&quot;&gt;come on&lt;/span&gt; people a bit of common sense and &lt;span id=&quot;SPELLING_ERROR_16&quot; class=&quot;blsp-spelling-corrected&quot;&gt;courtesy&lt;/span&gt; for those of us who are scared stiff our kids may get ill please wipe noses with tissues and throw them in the bin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well anyway all this being said i woke up this morning to a very unhappy little boy and an echo of sniffles and sneezes. We all feel like crap my boy cant drink anything &lt;span id=&quot;SPELLING_ERROR_17&quot; class=&quot;blsp-spelling-corrected&quot;&gt;because&lt;/span&gt; he cant breath and suck at the same time. He cant eat &lt;span id=&quot;SPELLING_ERROR_18&quot; class=&quot;blsp-spelling-corrected&quot;&gt;because&lt;/span&gt; chewing seems like a full body work out and yes he has snot dangling from both &lt;span id=&quot;SPELLING_ERROR_19&quot; class=&quot;blsp-spelling-corrected&quot;&gt;nostrils&lt;/span&gt; which he keeps sniffing back up and wiping on the back of his hand.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well i &lt;span id=&quot;SPELLING_ERROR_20&quot; class=&quot;blsp-spelling-corrected&quot;&gt;suppose&lt;/span&gt; it shows me locking us in the house may have put off the inevitable temporarily but you can never stop these things. Now i have a poorly baby &lt;span id=&quot;SPELLING_ERROR_21&quot; class=&quot;blsp-spelling-corrected&quot;&gt;who&#39;s&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span id=&quot;SPELLING_ERROR_22&quot; class=&quot;blsp-spelling-corrected&quot;&gt;supposed&lt;/span&gt; to be having a birthday party &lt;span id=&quot;SPELLING_ERROR_23&quot; class=&quot;blsp-spelling-corrected&quot;&gt;Saturday&lt;/span&gt; urrggggghhh Fingers crossed he&#39;ll be better by then x</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mummymadnessandmayhem.blogspot.com/feeds/2128478309426901330/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://mummymadnessandmayhem.blogspot.com/2009/12/please-no-flu.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9124179938289325673/posts/default/2128478309426901330'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9124179938289325673/posts/default/2128478309426901330'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mummymadnessandmayhem.blogspot.com/2009/12/please-no-flu.html' title='Please no SNOT!'/><author><name>Unknown</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9124179938289325673.post-6739532872974270091</id><published>2009-12-16T12:33:00.005+00:00</published><updated>2009-12-16T13:14:06.924+00:00</updated><title type='text'>Snow is on the way!</title><content type='html'>I have to admit i was a little disappointed this morning as i dragged my self out of my nice warm bed. I rushed to the window expecting a blanket of snow but there wasnt a flake in sight.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was far colder than usual last night i have a quilt the thickness of a rizzla paper with my dressing gown over the top to try and keep what little body heat i have left inside. even when you try and wrap bodies round each other its never comfortable enough to stay there long with his bones digging in and my worry of morning breath makes me turn over which leaves a hammock between you with a force 12 Gail blowing down you back. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This time last year i was in hospital in Spain contemplating life as a mummy, worrying about my boy being so premature and sweating my tits off with there heating on full blast all day and all night. The one thing i missed the most at that moment in time was Christmas in England and the lovely crisp frosty mornings and the hope of a glimpse of snow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well this year it could actually happen my baby could have snow for his birthday and his first Christmas i really hope it does it will be lovely for him and make the pics very cute. Well ill keep the curtains open to make sure i get a snap of the first snow flake...... how exiting!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Note to self.... time to stop sleeping naked, dig out PJS, stick sleeping bag on top of the quilt and buy 2 hot water bottles next time at Tescos.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mummymadnessandmayhem.blogspot.com/feeds/6739532872974270091/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://mummymadnessandmayhem.blogspot.com/2009/12/snow-is-on-way.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9124179938289325673/posts/default/6739532872974270091'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9124179938289325673/posts/default/6739532872974270091'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mummymadnessandmayhem.blogspot.com/2009/12/snow-is-on-way.html' title='Snow is on the way!'/><author><name>Unknown</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9124179938289325673.post-2179162677259915130</id><published>2009-12-14T12:17:00.004+00:00</published><updated>2009-12-14T12:59:24.405+00:00</updated><title type='text'>Families and festivities</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAdJUCpm4RD1Ykgt26rUG2crTKR8gAfrqw1igfx5w4DUnYBdkE88nBBUUa2lg2LD1Y8SA3HwkKMZwr2Cnc7E-Cgm10MArP-rmuu-pmaEAfoRHfprued6nkne5rwQLQf_PtmyAwcmfVC_s/s1600-h/DSC00147.JPG&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 240px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5415075669109088514&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAdJUCpm4RD1Ykgt26rUG2crTKR8gAfrqw1igfx5w4DUnYBdkE88nBBUUa2lg2LD1Y8SA3HwkKMZwr2Cnc7E-Cgm10MArP-rmuu-pmaEAfoRHfprued6nkne5rwQLQf_PtmyAwcmfVC_s/s320/DSC00147.JPG&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Ive been away for a week for a so called holiday.... it wasn&#39;t a holiday, not even close to a holiday, in fact i would call it closer to a nightmare!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;I cant blame the family, i haven&#39;t seen them for over 3 years so it was great to catch up, and I&#39;m very pleased that no one thought to mention the fact i have nearly doubled in size, all emphasis was on the boy that i was chuffed about and obviously hes loved by all.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;There are 2 things that i can not do without when staying with other people as far as the boy is concerned these are vital tools that we cannot do without &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;No 1. The walker&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;No 2. The high chair&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;So the two things that were forgotten where obviously the walker and the high chair! which didn&#39;t do us any favours what so ever. This meant that rather than the boy playing quite contently on his own which he does at home quite lovely, he will sit in his walker and scoot him self around playing with what ever is in his hands for ages, to wanting to be picked up then put down then picked up then put down then picked up then put down.....well you can see the pattern emerging. this was tolerable for the first day or two but by the 7th day was really starting to piss me off!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;It wasn&#39;t helped actually by his grandad teaching him how to blow raspberries (this is something that he learned months ago and took us twice as long to stop him from doing it!) as funny as it seemed to the 75 year old i was secretly seething inside as i was covered by his orange staining baby food each meal time..... oh yes so fucking funny!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;As we didn&#39;t have the second most important item the high chair, the raspberry blowing was made even worse by a child in a bouncer who can not only climb his way out of it but will bounce himself forward till it does a flip and he lands face down on the floor, which to him was the funniest game in the world to me was getting close to breaking point.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;All this excitement for a little one seeing people he had never seen before, every one around wanting to play meant that bed time was a complete nightmare i don&#39;t know where he got all his energy from all i knew is i had none left and just wanted to go home and to top it all off i had a 5 and a half hour journey home in the fog. Topped it all off nicely.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Thank god we are home, slept really well yesterday and boy is back to his normal self so we decided to put the Christmas decorations up which is something i look forward to every year. So now the countdown begins boys birthday on the 23rd and then Christmas yippppeeeeee cant wait!&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mummymadnessandmayhem.blogspot.com/feeds/2179162677259915130/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://mummymadnessandmayhem.blogspot.com/2009/12/families-and-festivities.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9124179938289325673/posts/default/2179162677259915130'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9124179938289325673/posts/default/2179162677259915130'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mummymadnessandmayhem.blogspot.com/2009/12/families-and-festivities.html' title='Families and festivities'/><author><name>Unknown</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAdJUCpm4RD1Ykgt26rUG2crTKR8gAfrqw1igfx5w4DUnYBdkE88nBBUUa2lg2LD1Y8SA3HwkKMZwr2Cnc7E-Cgm10MArP-rmuu-pmaEAfoRHfprued6nkne5rwQLQf_PtmyAwcmfVC_s/s72-c/DSC00147.JPG" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9124179938289325673.post-3507036744708472654</id><published>2009-11-30T00:34:00.002+00:00</published><updated>2009-11-30T00:36:37.392+00:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>Technorati claim code: U9F7Y3PPMX9V</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mummymadnessandmayhem.blogspot.com/feeds/3507036744708472654/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://mummymadnessandmayhem.blogspot.com/2009/11/technorati-claim-code-u9f7y3ppmx9v.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9124179938289325673/posts/default/3507036744708472654'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9124179938289325673/posts/default/3507036744708472654'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mummymadnessandmayhem.blogspot.com/2009/11/technorati-claim-code-u9f7y3ppmx9v.html' title=''/><author><name>Unknown</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9124179938289325673.post-4437814888379824269</id><published>2009-11-29T15:46:00.006+00:00</published><updated>2009-11-29T16:12:54.024+00:00</updated><title type='text'>Lazy weekend</title><content type='html'>I am one of the fortunate &lt;span id=&quot;SPELLING_ERROR_0&quot; class=&quot;blsp-spelling-corrected&quot;&gt;mummy&#39;s&lt;/span&gt; and i am extremely grateful that every weekend i have time off from the boy to self indulge or do what ever i want.

I mean I&#39;m no feminist but i do get the fact that hairy legs are not exactly a sexual statement and i do try my best in the summer months to make sure no stubble shows.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But it didn&#39;t seem to much of a problem in Spain not so much the hairy legs but you would often see a beautiful woman sporting a matching pair of under arm muffs which i cant imagine would be at all odour free in the mid summer heat!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But often i would do a quick scan of the beach as I turn to tan my other side and catch a glimpse of the slightly larger than average lady who&#39;s got a rather small bikini with a rather large tarantula escaping from each side of her inner thigh as she tiptoes her way back from the sea. I cant take my eyes off it, ITS DISGUSTING! But really.... who is it that&#39;s got the problem me for finding it so utterly repulsive or her for not giving a shit?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now its winter so why do we bother, its a complete pain in the bum, its freezing cold and you want a lovely warm bath, so you set the mood by lighting the candles, adding bubble bath then u you shave your legs and have to get out because your left in murky water and sitting on prickles.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To shave in the shower i have come to the conclusion that you either need to be a gymnast or some kind of contortionist and definitely have some kind of insurance cuz you&#39;ll more than likely end up breaking your neck!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well my decision has been made time for me not to give a shit. Now I&#39;m a mother i think i deserve to have this novelty but i do have a rule, if you can feel or see your hairs through your trousers (and i don&#39;t mean jeans!) then now is the time to shave. Obviously when the time comes for skirts which will only happen when and if I&#39;m ever slim again i will have to revise this rule, but for now i reckon be happy with being hairy for the winter, its not like you have to show anyone well maybe your hubby if you have one, but their legs are far hairy than ours only worry boys when we can can grow better beards!</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mummymadnessandmayhem.blogspot.com/feeds/4210499085249032558/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://mummymadnessandmayhem.blogspot.com/2009/11/to-shave-or-not-to-shave.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9124179938289325673/posts/default/4210499085249032558'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9124179938289325673/posts/default/4210499085249032558'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mummymadnessandmayhem.blogspot.com/2009/11/to-shave-or-not-to-shave.html' title='To shave or not to shave?'/><author><name>Unknown</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9124179938289325673.post-8753707797908961428</id><published>2009-11-20T22:05:00.015+00:00</published><updated>2009-11-20T23:58:44.513+00:00</updated><title type='text'>Crappy Telly!</title><content type='html'>Friday night and I&#39;m baby free....... yay! i thought id sit down for an hour and have a rant about crap TV.&lt;br /&gt;During the day i sort of understand it isn&#39;t likely to be great viewing and as much as i detest the irritating, embarrassingly scripted rubbish like cash in the Attic or car booty (that Lorne Spicer really gets on my tits) it still beats the likes of Iggle piggle or Pepper pig. My boys not that bothered for kiddies programmes which is cool, he is far more interested in the adverts at the mo especially direct line or go compare, which is quite strange I&#39;m sure his gonna grow up to be an insurance salesman!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But at the weekend its ridiculous the only good thing on is X factor but even that&#39;s a bit of a disappointment this time round, Simon Cowells completely milking the public and it all feels a little bit set up. Its supposed to be a talent competition and the UKs talented hopefuls aren&#39;t getting a look in with Jedward clowns getting the whole of Ireland backing them!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How many people live in Ireland? if the whole Irish population voted could they actually win? lets hope even if they do the poor people that have gone out so far get some kind of break, it really doesn&#39;t seem fair SIMON SORT IT OUT its gone beyond a joke and I&#39;m getting bored of them!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well the other thing that could be half decent is the return of I&#39;m a celebrity get me out of here, i haven&#39;t been bothered for this programme since the whole Jordan and peter Andre love story,&lt;span style=&quot;color:#ffff00;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;so the return of Jordan after her very public marriage breakdown could be worthy of my viewing.&lt;br /&gt;Im not entirely sure how i feel about her though, there are a few words that pop into my head that i probably shouldn&#39;t put on here (don&#39;t know why i should hold back I&#39;m sure she bloody wouldn&#39;t!) but you got to give it to her, SHES GOT SOME BALLS!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And who&#39;s that woman from how clean is your house? (one of my favourite programmes shhhhhh! don&#39;t tell anyone) Kim i think her name is, i think she is bloody brilliant! i wish i knew her personally what a great person, she would make a great primary school teacher or an agony aunt or something I love her, in fact i might even write to her some day and get her to visit my house not that its messy just for a coffee and a chat, oh and find out the best thing to get orange baby food out of white bibs lol!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But apart from that what else is there? Im watching road wars at the moment which i like, but its not a Friday night programme really is it? more like a Wednesday night programme.&lt;br /&gt;I remember when i was younger i used to look forward to weekend telly, the great shows like catchphrase, or Noels house party absolute classics and something to look forward to! so what is it that we are supposed to be into now? do our tastes change as we get older or are we supposed to change our tastes to what they decide to show us? I say bring back catchphrase and Noels house party what do you reckon?</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mummymadnessandmayhem.blogspot.com/feeds/8753707797908961428/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://mummymadnessandmayhem.blogspot.com/2009/11/crappy-telly.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9124179938289325673/posts/default/8753707797908961428'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9124179938289325673/posts/default/8753707797908961428'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mummymadnessandmayhem.blogspot.com/2009/11/crappy-telly.html' title='Crappy Telly!'/><author><name>Unknown</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9124179938289325673.post-6766074054499174539</id><published>2009-11-20T13:58:00.005+00:00</published><updated>2009-11-20T14:21:47.543+00:00</updated><title type='text'>Tinos first haloween!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZwkomO_Kkcxds_kH3S1jD7yj-z6wJ_8H88nwaB5GEbrueuTHOcwhWhFic_9rt0yG8LHOJKoy8o90kRRcxtD_gKH1L3fjnrNY2jbp7rnogsiuYE6hQ9DraszU8pc3bP4LmYpXjIgQiXTk/s1600/PHOT0218.JPG&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px;

/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;A few months after Tino was born came the heart wrenching decision to go back to England, we had heard there was a possibility of work in Portugal and thought maybe this could be a great opportunity if what we heard was correct we could live in the camper van until this happened and try again there. So off we went managed to drive to Portugal in 2 days Tino was perfect sleeping through the nights in his mosses basket next to the bed and coping with the 30 degrees heat just fine.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;So here we are in sunny Portugal far more beautiful than i ever imagined, not built up and hardly any tourists it was great, so peaceful and tranquil and there was a campsite hidden away near a place called Sagres which was perfectly placed on top of an over grown hill overlooking the sea and a gorgeous cove. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;The campsite hardly cost a thing as we had a generator and the showers there were so basic tucked away in a shed it was fantastic. But then we had to be realistic no matter how cheap it all is it wont last forever without work to support us. The thing we didn&#39;t plan on is if the country side is so beautiful and untouched with hardly any tourism THERE WONT BE WORK! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;We tried so hard and found a lovely German lady who had friends close by who may need help at some point and she even offered us her house for 100€ a month but this was all far too little far to late. The heat was getting past a joke one day i remember it was 47 degrees! we had to sleep in a van with all the windows closed because the mosquitoes where driving us crazy you could do dot to dot on Tinos face and we felt awful,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;so that was that bye bye Spain bye bye Portugal time to live back in the real world. There isn&#39;t a day that goes past that I&#39;m not daydreaming what if i had done that or maybe i could have stayed with this person. All i have left is some of the best memories of my life and to see my little boy growing up with the sun sea and sand around him was fantastic. I miss it soooooo much x&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mummymadnessandmayhem.blogspot.com/feeds/8127853125669130998/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://mummymadnessandmayhem.blogspot.com/2009/11/leaving-spain.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9124179938289325673/posts/default/8127853125669130998'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9124179938289325673/posts/default/8127853125669130998'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mummymadnessandmayhem.blogspot.com/2009/11/leaving-spain.html' title='Leaving Spain'/><author><name>Unknown</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5uo1NYJMVrKg6kC__Y5yPELeeomcIhzxi0dL9Cfnn8ciDlFzP7FWT1KF2efMiMc3GXenf711juQmqVJopSZkSiEXhDnYxtMyD0Al6DxQ2cKifoMoqrcOZ8E9e_2GINDLzTuljKpD1mcY/s72-c/PHOT0051.JPG" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9124179938289325673.post-7561958818294391252</id><published>2009-11-20T10:02:00.004+00:00</published><updated>2009-11-20T10:25:55.112+00:00</updated><title type='text'>A little bit of the past</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjl3HvcF5rI7Vci6pOf2ZqAkoLw7i_WlXkTE1xRls83FsF2GJTggD9IwM5XxDfK2GTbWDLgaoTQfJBNoS_GIAMZDQmaF3tigBrw-GPK_t8HB8ZzI8-iZ09I8d8itCRybr9E2F_5iFCVc6g/s1600/tino+007.JPG&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5406129858089135730&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjl3HvcF5rI7Vci6pOf2ZqAkoLw7i_WlXkTE1xRls83FsF2GJTggD9IwM5XxDfK2GTbWDLgaoTQfJBNoS_GIAMZDQmaF3tigBrw-GPK_t8HB8ZzI8-iZ09I8d8itCRybr9E2F_5iFCVc6g/s320/tino+007.JPG&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjX3eWRqbs1kTI8-6aPzrYLl83Vlv40qKz9AyhSIYB2V9Rs59GcRo0QCj_m9ZLDLrWYW2Yzqu4lUuxINuZvu8_9UsBx_XHEw_AdmjixzMnO1TxqgI0jGeVrDT1BC0jU-9V_CjZI8_uMskc/s1600/tino+001.JPG&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5406129852404739554&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjX3eWRqbs1kTI8-6aPzrYLl83Vlv40qKz9AyhSIYB2V9Rs59GcRo0QCj_m9ZLDLrWYW2Yzqu4lUuxINuZvu8_9UsBx_XHEw_AdmjixzMnO1TxqgI0jGeVrDT1BC0jU-9V_CjZI8_uMskc/s320/tino+001.JPG&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;I thought id give you a little bit of background info, especially for those who don&#39;t know me.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;I have only been back into the UK for 4 and a bit months i actually lived in Spain for 3 years in Andalucia which was the best 3 years of my life i was most definitely living a dream. Unfortunately that dream had to come to an end when my partner couldn&#39;t find work and i fell pregnant. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;The idea was to come back to England to have Tino. But then 7 months into the pregnancy i fell ill and was rushed into hospital, there was a few complications as i didn&#39;t understand how often i was supposed to be checked by the docs i thought he pains where normal, but it just got to much to bear and that&#39;s when i found out that i had a kidney infection, dangerously low blood platelets anemia, thyroid problems and the list went on!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;so after i had the infection treated they realised i had no amniotic fluid and the baby had stopped moving 2 hours later Tino was born. He was so tiny and i was in such shock just dint know what to expect. I loved being pregnant and i felt robbed that i couldn&#39;t experience what every one else was experiencing i knew babies where born prematurely and they are OK but why mine it just didn&#39;t seem fair. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mummymadnessandmayhem.blogspot.com/feeds/7561958818294391252/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://mummymadnessandmayhem.blogspot.com/2009/11/little-bit-of-past.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9124179938289325673/posts/default/7561958818294391252'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9124179938289325673/posts/default/7561958818294391252'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mummymadnessandmayhem.blogspot.com/2009/11/little-bit-of-past.html' title='A little bit of the past'/><author><name>Unknown</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjl3HvcF5rI7Vci6pOf2ZqAkoLw7i_WlXkTE1xRls83FsF2GJTggD9IwM5XxDfK2GTbWDLgaoTQfJBNoS_GIAMZDQmaF3tigBrw-GPK_t8HB8ZzI8-iZ09I8d8itCRybr9E2F_5iFCVc6g/s72-c/tino+007.JPG" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9124179938289325673.post-8931506975839095446</id><published>2009-11-19T23:15:00.005+00:00</published><updated>2009-11-20T14:26:07.087+00:00</updated><title type='text'>Walk in the park</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-2ocqQWIpe5RTU-HaqWJKoGGpA8Cl3fDJERh3nu19L_vPItTssIHnKMAsOWQ8-4Eek9nCLl9OWh6iKy6lIRQkru7QeNXmnuV94fnjNsjH0BDqsUWP7fT8bXEcHE5n0jydXpDj1tsuytI/s1600/DSC00132.JPG&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5405963368168504530&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-2ocqQWIpe5RTU-HaqWJKoGGpA8Cl3fDJERh3nu19L_vPItTssIHnKMAsOWQ8-4Eek9nCLl9OWh6iKy6lIRQkru7QeNXmnuV94fnjNsjH0BDqsUWP7fT8bXEcHE5n0jydXpDj1tsuytI/s320/DSC00132.JPG&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxwUbAju1zcDRm3SjG_Eyu0ovHL_-EoRhh_xR_VslD6HFbP1lz2GDxrxO7Qfqoh1yHCAO4Zz1b7kYAJ1zORZoY08VdHR7KvufO0fbk4tQmmcbr1-4uLIw5y8-V_iG2ApDf3jZT9_ESqNQ/s1600/DSC00129.JPG&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5405963361605171762&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxwUbAju1zcDRm3SjG_Eyu0ovHL_-EoRhh_xR_VslD6HFbP1lz2GDxrxO7Qfqoh1yHCAO4Zz1b7kYAJ1zORZoY08VdHR7KvufO0fbk4tQmmcbr1-4uLIw5y8-V_iG2ApDf3jZT9_ESqNQ/s320/DSC00129.JPG&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Yep you guessed it, &lt;span id=&quot;SPELLING_ERROR_0&quot; class=&quot;blsp-spelling-corrected&quot;&gt;didn&#39;t&lt;/span&gt; go to the gym today..... well it was so windy and cold and there was a big log on the fire it would be silly to waste a good log! so &lt;span id=&quot;SPELLING_ERROR_1&quot; class=&quot;blsp-spelling-corrected&quot;&gt;I&#39;ve&lt;/span&gt; been sat in the same spot most of the day, i know its so unhealthy the thing is, being lazy makes you lazy if it &lt;span id=&quot;SPELLING_ERROR_2&quot; class=&quot;blsp-spelling-corrected&quot;&gt;wasn&#39;t&lt;/span&gt; the coffee making me go to the loo every 10 &lt;span id=&quot;SPELLING_ERROR_3&quot; class=&quot;blsp-spelling-error&quot;&gt;mins&lt;/span&gt; i would have got under the sleeping bag and happily slept the day away... oh &lt;span id=&quot;SPELLING_ERROR_4&quot; class=&quot;blsp-spelling-corrected&quot;&gt;except&lt;/span&gt; that other small problem baby needs changing, feeding and playing with. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Its hard to remember the days of skiving off work and staying in bed the whole morning watching crap day time &lt;span id=&quot;SPELLING_ERROR_5&quot; class=&quot;blsp-spelling-corrected&quot;&gt;TV&lt;/span&gt; and loving every second of it.
