Hello

I've been busying along this week but can't really show you anything because it has either been for this challenge,
or for my Valentine's swap gift,
or just isn't finished!

But to stop my big sister thinking I have fallen off the planet I thought I'd better blog about something!

I went to Weight Watchers on Tuesday morning and had lost 2.5lbs which is an okay start although I had hoped to have lost more. I just need to get my head into the idea of losing weight slowly and permanently!

The eagle-eyed among you may have already noticed my new weight loss counter over on the side bar - nice and spring-like!

I've been really overwhelmed by the lovely swap parcels that have been arriving across blogland - it really puts the pressure on me to come up with something good for my partner!

As a quick reminder, you need to send your parcels on or before Thursday 14th February and it would be great if you could blog about what you receive to publicly thank your partner (if you have a blog that is!) and could send me a photo of what you receive so I can do a big swap blog-post after the event.



Finally, I'll leave you with a photo of a new family friend


Mr Plug,

Those are some lovely tantalising pictures Mrs! Well done Ally for nagging 'til she broke:)

I'm going now as the pressure to comment whilst talking to you on the phone is too great!!!!!!!!!!!!

He is TOTALLY, Without-A-Doubt COOL!! And if I weren't having so much fun with Kitty I'd beg you to ditch your partner and be mine so you could send him - or a passable faxcimile - to me :)

xoxo

ps: mailing my package this weekend - thanks for the reminder to take a pre-mailing pic.

Awww, Mr Plug is fabulous. I see WMK has been over here already - I must get a move on with her stuff - I want to post it this weekend.

I bet whatever you're making will be fabulous. x

You two are hysterical -- always talking and commenting at the same time! The rest of us are just jealous. Very intriguing sneaky peeks!

Mr Plug?! Hahahahahahahaha......

I think this post may make you a craft tease! ;-)

can I just say 2.5lbs is a great start (especially as you don't eat those pre made packet meals).

You should be jolly proud of yourself, some wise person once said 'Rome wasn't built in a day' or in your case 'Lucy Locket wasn't unbuilt in a week' so stick at it and in a few weeks you'll be feeling tip top I'm sure.
That little counter is very sweet too.

Mr Plug seems like a nice little man! And you lost 2.5lbs..yeah! Your sneak peek reminds me...I better hurry up with my valentine gift!

Leanne said...

Well done on the weight loss it is amazing how easy it is to gain and how hard it is to loose.

Well done on your 2.5lbs if they were feathers you'd have lost thousands! (That will make you laugh).

I was too busy to blog last night as cooking our parents a nice tenderloin fillet of pork stuffed with sage, mushrooms and prunes wrapped in bacon - yum.

Can you advise what Mr Plug does? Is he useful to have around the home?

Ok Ok. I promise to knuckle down to my Valentine Swap. I will get it finished photoed and posted.

Doesn't February just sneek up on you? I thought I had ages to go.

Good for you Lucy to loose 2,5 lbs!! The Valentine stuff looks all so gorgeous. Love Mr Plug. I wonder what Mrs Plug would look like! (LOL!)

2.5 lbs is a brilliant start- you would be disappointed if you lost half a stone this week and then just 1 next- slow and steady is the way to go! Well done you -keep us posted x
