Sonu Singh Samples Cake!

February for us is not just the month of love, but also the month of birthdays. No less than 5 members of our family, and close members at that, have their special birthdays in this month.

This means plenty of fun, celebrations, headache when selecting presents, and cake.

Not to be left out, the other day Sonu Singh tried some sponge. I know it is not a good thing for a cat, but he was so intrigued, a tiny nibble satisfied his curiosity!

There were also helium balloons present, a gift from someone else, which scared the BeJesus out of him! It’s been two days and he is still spooked! He comes into the living room and looks at the spot where they were, then darts out again! We realised they were freaking him out so we had moved them into the porch where he can’t see them but he is still slightly hesitant. Silly, but sweet kitty!

Ritu’s Healthy Eating – Week 27 #icandothis

healthy-living

Another week, another batch of healthy meals with some naughtiness thrown in!

Shall I start with the naughties?

Well we had my brother in law’s birthday, so there was cake (and nibbles), then we had a wonderful wedding with soooo much food, I couldn’t exactly say no, and at school we were decorating ginger biscuits,  so I had a nibble of a couple… (someone had to eat the demo ones I made!) then I can’t forget the Hot Cross Buns with lots of butter! Oh, and pizza too…

But there were the times I was so hungry for my healthy snacks I couldn’t even get a picture before eating!

Then some food was just plain old funny!

And so to some of my on plan meals for the week.

No dance class this week due to family birthdays, but I managed to dance plenty at the wedding!

And how did I do?

Another 0.5lb off!

2017-02-10_06-50-47

So that is 23.5lb off with Slimming World so far, and in total, I have lost 28.5lbs since starting my healthy eating plan!

Phew!

It’s half term this week, so I’ll be at home more. Sometimes that is good, sometimes it means I pick and graze more…, and I still have a couple of birthdays to celebrate, as well as Valentines Day… Will I manage to lose, stay th3e same, or put on? Who knows!

So, until next time, have a healthy week Peeps!

Day 10 #Loveuary – Finding You/Flame #writephoto

loveuary

A little fiction, based around my prompt words ‘finding you’, and tying my #Loveuary post in with Sue’s #writephoto prompt this week.

flame

Jack looked over at Jamie and Rose, cosying up next to their Grandma Maggie on the small sofa. The flames from the fireplace cast a warming glow over the room.
“Nan nan,  how much do you love me?” six-year-old Jamie turned to his grandma.
“Oh my handsome boy, I love you as far as you can see,” and she smiled, her eyes crinkling at the sides.
Those eyes, Jack thought. They may have old skin around them now, but they still held the same beauty to him, as they had fifty years before.
“But do you love me more than Grandpa Jack?” the cheeky chappy questioned.
Rose’s two-year-old eyes were drooping. She sucked her thumb and snuggled in closer to her Grandma. Maggie put her arm around her infant granddaughter and held her close.
The love in those arms, the same love she showed to our own children, all those years before. Jack almost felt that he was looking at his wife in the throes of motherhood.
What he wouldn’t give to get back to those days… or even just a few years back.
To see those eyes look at him, filled with love, once more. To feel those arms pulling him closer in an embrace.
But he had to be satisfied with this, simply watching… Cruel fate had intervened in their happy life, snatching him from this Earth. He was grateful that he could still be there, watching over her, his Maggie.
I was lucky to find you all those years ago… now I’ll wait, for the time when you come to find me…

WRITESPIRATION #102 52 WEEKS IN 52 WORDS WEEK 6 – Perfect Teeth

Sacha’s back with her 52 word story prompt.

That moment you see your ex with their hot new bit and you look like a turd.

Here’s my take!

Skulking into the dentist’s surgery, with my chipped front tooth, I thank God for emergency appointments.
Looking up, I see him, my ex, with someone who looks like the Goddess of Perfect Teeth!
He pecks her on the cheek, “Pick you up at 5, snugglebum!”
Trust him to be dating my dentist!

Day 9 #Loveuary – Stupid Cupid

loveuary

A little poem for today!

You never know
When Cupid’s bow
Is primed, ready to strike

The shopping mall
A dancing hall
Or maybe on a hike!

It’s nothing tragic
Just his magic
Working in the air

And then you find
You’re of one mind
What a beautiful pair!

Nothing stupid
‘Bout our Cupid
He knows just what to do

With one strike
He changes “I like”
Into “I love you!”
