Sooooooooooooooo......yes.............. it's been a while hasn't it!?? I bet you've been sitting by your PC every day, hoping that this time when you click on the link to this blog that, of course, you have stored at the very top of your Favourites list, that this is the day. Today is the day when you will find a lovely bright shiny new blog from Mrs Badcrumble. Well, my dear readers, todays IS that day. Alle-flaming-lujah!
It's ok, i'm not really that disillusioned. I am, however, that busy. Alister has had his 5th birthday. The first anniversary has passed of my dad dying although I bumped into an old school friend today who didnt know. It never ceases to be fun trying to tell them really quickly without getting into it too deeply. "oh wow i havent seen you in years, excuse me whilst i sob uncontrollably on your shoulder!". It still doesnt seem real saying it out loud.
I have an OU essay due in on thursday and have finally tonight figured out some sort of idea of what I plan to write. Could be a late one tomorrow night cos I cant miss the Apprentice in order to do it on Wednesday night. How good was the start of the new series!!!????? Although, watching that won't help with discussing how Great Expectations is informed by contemporary social issues. Sigh...... I sometimes think it would be best to put the whole degree thing on hold for now maybe til Alister is at school and I have a bit more time but I know I would kick myself. It's just that every time I get set to get stuck into it just now I notice that the washing machine needs emptied or the ironing pile is 10 feet tall or the floor needs washed or I need to go to Asda etc etc. I really don't think I have enough hours in the day 
Oh, before I waffle on anymore, the point of this blog is to track my weight loss efforts so here goes. had a couple of up and down weeks with birthdays and nights out etc but overall for the month have lost 2.5lbs. Not a huge amount but hell it's all flab vanishing from somewhere. I have, however, noticed everything shrinking in the way which I put down to callanetics. God it hurts but it's that good pain that tells you that you worked hard and deserve to lose and inch or two.
So what else has happened..... both brothers have been up, Fi turned ummm..ahem...cough....29 (and 12 months), my mum has sold her house and bought the one she loves, Granny B is home from hospital but not in particularly great shape (hell neither would you be at 95...),Alister is out of nursery for a couple of weeks and going to Easter classes at my work. Footy and swimming in the morning then drama and art in the afternon. Keeps him out of trouble.
It was 10 weeks yesterday til we go to lanzarote. Soooooooooooooooo can't wait! I will inflict my white wobbly body on the good people of the Canaries. Wait and see, it will be in all the local press!
So, in the extremely likely event that I don't blog again for a while this is the plan. Tomorrow night, essay writing. Wednesday, the apprentice (possibly finishing essay before that starts. Thursday night, assuming essay is done, ironing. friday, sod all. absolutely bugger all. bring it on! Ikea on saturday afternoon with Lynne then girly night in. Sunday. no sunday school. oh joy. Back to studying and it will be on to poetry, the bit i got bambozled by the last time I did this course. harumph. It will not beat me this time.
Right. am off to bed. sleep well all.
Love ya!
