So, now there is only a matter of days til I go on my weight busting holiday. How long you ask? Check out the countdown
... oh, I'm so excited! And nervous, scared, worried, anxious. Any other descriptive words feel free to add them!

I think its come at a good time. I weighed myself at mums yesterday and I'm back up to 13st 3lbs, which is a bummer, but recently my back ache has gotten worse, so I think its the extra weight I'm carrying combined with a lumpy mattress. Definitely time to shed some pounds I think!

So, I've just measured my vital stats - if you are drinking coffee please swallow that mouthful before reading on, I wouldn't wanna be responsible for y'all spraying your monitors now...
Waist: 109 cms or 43 inchs
Hips: 105.5 cms
Thighs: 61.5 & 62.5 cms respectively, and last but not least
Bingo wings: 34 & 35 cms each.

So, from today until Friday I am going to be as good as I can be (that doesn't mean I will deprive myself of course) but I will eat less chocolate, drink less wine, have smaller portions and at least do some stomach crunches and stretches in preparation for Saturday morning onwards.

I might even make it to the gym a couple times over the next few days, but don't hold your breath on that one...

In other news: the wallpapering in the sitting room is (very nearly) complete. Just a fiddly bit round the chimney breast and above/below the windows and then he is finished. In the sitting room at least.

Bob the builder has finished the exterior painting kinda. There is a little bit above our toilet window which he hasn't been done, but apparently it's not rendered and hubby seems to think it looks ok unpainted.

The TV has been unveiled in all its sexy glory. There's something almost hypnotic about the beautiful and shiny black frame on our new black glass stand, especially after 5 years of our boxy silver/grey telly. And (I know you mustn't start sentences with and but never mind) his games looking bloody amazing. Can't wait til we get the surround sound set up again and watch a film!

Well, I'd best get myself sorted. My filter coffee is getting cold as is my slice of toast.

Enjoy the extra day off guys and gals
