Weightloss, TTC and Uni

Well I am really proud of myself this week, I have lost 1.2kgs :) If I can keep us the loss of at least 1kg a week I will be doing it quickly enough to keep me motivated but also slowly enough to learn to control my eating habits and also how to eat properly once all my weight is lost. Didn't lose anything from my waist or hips but lost 7cms off my bust!

Uni has gone back, I am now officially ending my first week back as a distance education student and man is it proving to be quite tough! Not only because you have to discipline yourself to check the forums etc daily but also because of lack of direction. Already I am more than a little stressed at the assignments that are coming up because I am so used to being able to just sit face to face with a teacher while they explain the requirements and expectations, with distance education you are given the assignment in words and then expected to know what to do, sure there is email contact and a chat room but it is just so different, hoping that I learn to adjust to this!!!

Speaking of uni, there is going to be a residential (where u go to the uni for a few days) and of all the times to be it is over the easter school holidays, which of course means all accommodation has been booked out!! My sister is going as well because she is doing the same degree and we are now having to spend $500 EACH for accommodation in Armidale!! We could of course stay in the dorm style accommodation on campus but even this is close to $100 a night and has a shared bathroom! NO thanks!!

We are now trying to conceive baby # 2, on our second cycle now as I type this. Not much else to report there, I test towards the end of March so a while to go yet!

My mum's wedding is getting closer and closer! Only five weeks to go, well four weeks and 6 days as of today! We had our dress fittings on Thursday last week which went ok, the dress doesnt look anything like the pictures that we gave to the dressmaker, but she is going to fix it. :) the colours are lovely and my mums dress is divine!! We have another fitting in two weeks :) I think by that stage my mum will be a MESS!!

Work is going ok, its work! I have definitely settled back in now and its back to how it was before... three days a weeks is the perfect amount of days, not too many and only just not too much!

Think thats about it for now... Ella & Nick are going well! Nothing really to report, she is loving daycare and is making lots of friends :) Brings me home paintings and things that she makes :)

Blogging again :)

Hi guys :) well I lost my username and password for a while and couldnt log in but now i sussed out how to find lost usernames :) YAY YAY ok ok you can all stop doing that happy dance now, cause I know you just cant contain yourselves.

Sooooo... what has been happening? Not much really... back at work.. almost back at uni (via corro this time) and back to scrapping :)

Ella is doing fantastically :) she starts family day care on Monday, of course I am a little anxious but after meeting the lady that will be taking care of Ella I am a lot more at ease than I was, she is absolutely perfect for Ella and has a 2 year old of her own :) PLUS ... yes its small small world! Her partner is a guy I went to school with and was friends with so I am happy to know that he wouldnt be with someone who was crazy ;)

Hmmm I always have so much to say but then when it comes time to actually updating my blog i forget it all, I have some LO's to share from the scraptherapy cc which was on the weekend :) I am loving the plumbers crack one, mainly because it is such a great memory to hold onto ;)

So my aim is going to be to update every sunday, or one of the days on the weekend at least :)

ciao for now :)
