Hello everyone - hope you are all well. GOd I've missed coming on for a chat!

Well, our holiday was great - glad to be back to my home comforts but not to the weather - got home yesterday to the p'ing rain!!! Not looking forward to job hunting either! Managed not to kill MIL either! Have to say all things considered we got on well...was worried that we would end up hating each other...two weeks was enough though - no plans to build a granny flat yet! Well, hopefully I'll get a chance to read up on everything I've missed - hopefully not too much gossip.

Glad your back, it was really quiet on here without you.
Are you all tanned and georgeous? x

Well I'm tanned!! Put on wieght on holiday - only 4 or 5 lbs but could really have beed doing without it - did make a pure pig of myself though so hopefully getting back to normal eating will help!!! Going to get photos loaded on to face book over the next few days - no that there are many of me as I hate the camera - mostly took photos of the girls...infact we took hardly any!

How are the headaches? And being back at work?

Headaches are really bad at the minute as im so tired, work is being a pian in the ass as they are still putting me down for 3 nights a week and i am leaving her a note to say im leaving tomarrow night and that this week coming in will be my last as i cant keep this up. It was fine with 2 nights but i have only worked that once and the other 2 weeks was 3 nights and next week is the same.
I have taken an injection about an hour ago and its quite hard to type as im a little doped hense the reason i dont have Ellie as im afraid of dropping her etc.
Cant wait to see the pics, im sure you looked fine, i bought a size 20 top today and it didnt fit!!!!! WTF???
I know im big but i was a size 12-14 before Ellie was born as you can see from my FB pics. I just cant shift this weight as hard [or not] as i try. Im actually felling quite sick about it now. Are you going back to WW? x

Tricia, glad to hear you had a lovely holiday & you & your MIL survived!!! Much as I've been getting on great with mine lately I'm not sure we would be ready to go on holiday together just yet though she has been a fantastic help lately.

Diane dont get down about your weight. Baby weight is hard to shift but you'll get there eventually. I've given up (craving mint aeros & chicken fried rice isnt helping!!) but plan to go back to the gym after I've had this next one to try & shift a bit. I was only getting back to my pre pregnancy weight after Amy when I found out I was pregnant with Zara so sometimes it just takes a while. Sorry to hear your headaches are still bad too xx

Thanks Hilary, it does get me down though as i was a nice size for my height before Ellie and i just got huge with her. I am as heavy now as the week before i had her! That means i have put weight on!!!!
Ah well, the bp tablets are slowing me down too and i dont have the energy to go to the gym and to be honest i hate the place anyway, id rather visit my local chippy! LOL
Anyway thats my main problem, not to mention the fact that Ellie is going down for a sleep now in 10 minutes and i am going to bake. Nothing special just a few buns, top hats, sticky mickies and lemon meringe for Gary.
Thats my problem too, i am not boasting but i am a good cook and a good baker as that was mummys profession before she took ill. She passed on her knowledge to me and thats why im so fat! LOL

Mmmmm I would love to live beside you!!!!! I'd definately be calling round for a cuppa!!!! Lemon meringue is my favourite & i usually end up craving it eveytime I pregnant!!!!

Lemon meringue is my favourite too but sadly I can't bake to save my life!!
I'm the same as you Diane, I was actually slimmer a month after having Poppy than I am now!! gutted - I've got to go on holiday with loads of my family in just under 5 weeks and the thought of getting my lardy body out in front of them all is terrifying me!

Ooooh...can we all come for tea at yours?!?! Cakes - yum!

Dont woryy to much about the weight Diane, easy for me to say when I moan about it all the time! But I looked at your pics on fb and you look fab. My mil is on bp tablets (an a whole load of other stuff) and in she has gone from a slim size 12 to an 18 - 20 (although she keeps buying size 16 in the hope she will get into them). The funny thing is when we were on holiday I ate way more than her (unless she had a stash of buns in her room!) so I know that she doenst gorge. Hopefully once you are in better health and not on meds then you will see a difference or have the energy to exercise.

Take care.
