21 and 100




Aged 4 months







Aged 8 months




Aged 12 months

Now 
I may be biased but my baby boy was utterly adorable. He still is! He was 21 on the 21st April 2018. I did coffee and cake for anyone who would like to come and it was knackering for me, but enjoyable for everyone else! 
For the first time in forever, I baked. And I really enjoyed myself- I was very restrained and didst not lick my fingers at all! 
Birthday cake - plain with fresh cream was the request.






I also made a huge toffee fudge traybake and some SW friendly lemon, coconut and blueberry muffins. Best laugh of the day goes to Nanna V for discussing pet dogs with my friends and my two offspring. Nanna V said her neighbour had a poodle I think it was.  Oh, said my friend, we've got a cockerpoo.

Ahhh yes, said Nanna V, all knowingly, its one of those mixed race dogs!!!!!!!!! 



Everyone admired my bargainous 20p roses! 

It was a lovely day and Mr 21 was thoroughly spoilt! Hopefully he will remember it fondly. The day his mother made him stay in Aunt Ressie's Shady Pines home for the elderly ( all the Nannas and  grandads sat in the lounge ) and wouldn't let him go to the pub with his friends!!! 


So.... at my 38th weigh in tonight at SW, I've lost another 2lbs taking my total to a 
BONKERS ONE HUNDRED POUNDS! 
100lbs
Doesn't seem possible or real! I celebrated with a hi if chocolate bar for 3syns! A bit of a ways to go yet but I'm taking it one week at a time, a pound at a time. No rush! 



I've pinned out my first Luna. I was going to cut out tonight and make a start, but I wanted to post this blog and then sleep. It's been a long hard day at work today. It's ok, I can wait. 

Hope everyone is well. 

Lots of love from

Ps 
My new long service award seat is up and has been sat upon in my garden!

  6. Firstly, well done on the weight loss, it's amazing, every pound loss is closer to your goal. If I tell you when my birthday is will you come and bake for me, yours looks yummy! Can't wait to see your sewing, mine is still a pile of material on our dining room table!!! Now all you need is summer to arrive so you can use the outside seating.

  8. A Very Happy 21st to your young man. He was definitely a very cute baby. Cake with family sounds a good way to celebrate, Amy tends to go for the quieter options of celebrating with family although I have my suspicions it's all a decoy going off the number of wine bottles I come back to after a weekend at the van!

    Fantastic news on the weight loss front. You seem so focused on the end goal I honestly don't think you're going to have a problem getting there.

    Love the mixed race dog comment. I can't wait until I get older so I can say what I want and people will just ignore me because they think I've gone dotty. Older people come out with the most hilarious things. Mark thinks people paying for crossbreed dogs is really odd and says in his day they used to be called mongrels. And on that note I'll wish you a happy week. xx

  9. Lovely post as always. HUGE congrats on your weight loss- that is seriously impressive- and to your lad on his birthday and to Nannas for unintentionally making people laugh. Did you leave the price tag on those roses so people could be impressed by your frugality? :o) XXX

  17. man alive, 20p for those flowers?! I never seem to go at the right time to find reduced flowers. Agree with Debdors comment, you will have to alter your bio accordingly!

    Lovely cake. None for me then, no? belated birthday felicitations xx

  18. WOW, WOW and triple WOW. I am so impressed. The thought of being surrounded by all that home baked gorgeousness and not even licking your fingers. Iron willpower. I am due to step on the scales on Friday and will be pleased to lose another Kilo.
