Week 5! And back to school!
Can;t do a long one now as school responsibilities beckon, but
Quick update.
I joined Slimming World to boost my weight loss. I am trying it out for 3 months to see how I go.
I was naughty on the weekend, but hey, it was my birthday!
My present was a Fitbit, which is great to help me track my activity!
I have used my exercise bike at least 5 times this week too.
And I stepped on the scales with trepidation today… but I had a
1.5lb loss!
As of next week, I’ll update on a Friday to coincide with my SW weigh in day instead, but Yay!!!!! That is now 6.6lb!!!!
The Birthday Roundup!

Well hello there all of you!
Can I start this post by saying I love you all so much!
All the Happy Birthday wishes, the shares, the book downloads… You are all such a special bunch, I feel quite emotional!
Well, my day in general, was pretty wonderful!
It started at midnight when Hubby Dearest arrived with a mini roll adorned with a cocktail umbrella!
Then we spent a good couple of hours in the middle of the night playing ‘Musical Beds’ as Lil Man woke, after having a bad dream, then Lil Princess joined us, and sat on Lil Man’s head, hurting his neck! Oops! To be honest, all I wanted to do was sleep, but I needed to be mummy, didn’t I?!
Then all needed to be awake by 8am latest as the kids had Football training. Yes, even Lil Princess, who has decided Football is for her, not Punjabi school, on a Saturday morning! I was given cards and my present…
Fitbit Charge HR
I have been looking to get one since I started my health kick, and hubby Dearest beat me to it!
Now, it isn’t easy being good on your birthday,food wise, and I really wasn’t! We went to a great dessert parlour in the afternoon called Treatz, and gorged on sweet delights!
Mine was the Oreo one!
I would have shown you the waffles too, but my Bro in Law ate it before I could get a photo!
The sundaes were yum! But alas, no Malteasers!
Then we chilled, and popped to my in-laws for the evening. An Indian takeaway dinner then it was home!
It was a relaxed day, and I had fun, the most important thing!
Thank you all for being a part of it too!
#SoCS Sept 3/16 – Accumulate

Linda’s prompt for this Saturday Stream of Consciousness..
Accumulate
Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: “accumulate.” Use it any way you’d like. Have fun!
Well, seeing as it is the day it is for me… my birthday, what better thing to write about than how I have managed to accumulate 41 years beneath my belt!
Oh, and by ‘under my belt’ I mean all that squidgy stuff I am currently trying to get rid of! You can hoard quite a bit under there if you aren’t careful!
Now, in 41 years, I have manage to accumulate a lot of stuff. From toys, to books, (you all know that!) to clothes and jewellery. From photos and physical momentos, to those memories held tightly within my heart and mind.
I wonder whether I am a hoarder. Should I not let go of some of this stuff? The physical stuff at least? But when I look at everything, there is so much emotion attached to each thing, I can’t do it! Ok, I lie. I manage to clear out my wardrobe with relative ease. I can whizz through the kids things pretty quickly, but it’t the other stuff, the memories, the photos, the momentos that I can’t bear to part with.
But I love them all. They take me back to a different time of my life, and bring back all the emotions from that time.
So for now, if you don’t mind, I am keeping my accumulations, and I’m pretty sure there will be plenty more added to the piles over the years to come!
Have a great day!
