Hello...

two days in a row!! I'm on here that is

Kristy, everything has been great. I'm so much more relaxed and happy.... but i miss the internet! We only have a 3 month lease, so it's not worth setting up properly. We are hoping we'll have another house lined up which will be more permanent. DP's work has a house, but atm another worker is living in, but he's trashing it and they aren't ahppy with him, so hopefully we can move in there. (i know thats not nicce hoping someone else would get kicked out of a house, but he's a single guy and we are a family!)

I'm going off to Midland for a few hours, while mum looks after Brendan! yay!

Take care everyone

Hi everyone

Just a quick one to say hi... I hope everyone is enjoying their long weekend.
Today I baked ANZAC biscuits for my family... the loved them. I have been cooking up a storm over the last few days... last night I made pork in plumb sauce which was all sticky and gooey and they loved it, served with home made fried rice... then I cooked up a huge omelette this morning, DH had black pudding and I made raspberry smoothies () and I now have a sausage casserole cooking for tonight, and when that is done, I am going to cook up a pea and ham soup!!! lol... I guess when I am on a diet, all I wanna do is cook.
Harrison loved black pudding.. I've never had it before... hmmm.
I have now been back on my diet for 1 week, and I weighed myself today and I have lost 6.6kgs and 15.5cms off my body... I am loving this result!!! Yay.

Well... I am now going to bake a cake... lol... my house smells great atm!
I hope you all have a great weekend

LISA _ Where's my dinner invite? I don't like pork, but it sounded good anyway. What exactly is black pudding? Isn't it something really disgusting? I think the raspberry smoothie sounded much better to me! LOL. Oh wow, what type of cake are you baking? I love making desserts, but I never seem to have the time to make main meals, I have some great recipes & I really should start trying. I saw a great one for chicken & coconut stirfry that sounds good! Anzac biscuits sound yummy, I thought about making them today as well. I will do that when brat-bags is asleep! LOL.

SAL _ We are going to Midland on Sunday for SIl's birthday (I think). Tell us all about your little shopping adventure. How is the little man going? I bet he is spoiled rotten with Nanna.

KRISTY _ Oh you're a star. I LOVE the surprises. I didn't know what either of mine were, but I was convinced they were both boys. LOL. I think it's mint not knowing, but each to their own. I can understand why people find out what they're having. I'd stay at Murdoch for the first 6 months if I could. It's so beautiful in there & the food! OH my, don't get me started on the food. I love the candlelit dinners that they do there for the parents as well.

TASH _ I don't know about the antihistamine, I really don't. I think that they were working well for Kel with Jemima though? Also, the reason I haven't taken Claudia to the Dr with her cold/cough is because I don't think they'd give her anything either. She is happy & well, just barks like a dog when she coughs. This morning her nose is green though, so if it's like that tomrrow I'll get her to the Dr.

ME _ Going now to organise the kids lunch & then make some anzac biscuits!

Love Jayne xox

Oh Jayne... the ANZAC bickies that I made were soft ones too... and my whole kitchen smells butter scotch-ish... yummo. I just had salt, pepper and chili calamari salad for lunch and it was sooooooooo good!
Black pudding is a sausage... it is made from barley, blood, heart and some other stuff... it is very dark when it is cooked... it kinda reminded me of beef and red wine sausages DH and I have bought before... Harrison loved it, as did Madeleine... I will have to try it when I am off my diet.
I have decided that I am now going to cook raspberry and white chocolate friands... I havd so much left over raspberries from this morning, so I might as well do something with them... though the older kids are begging me for french toast with raspberry topping... so who knows. Oh... I forgot to mention that I made a choc pudding in my slow cooker last night, from scratch and DH and the kids looooooved it. All this food, and yet I still don't feel like I am missing out... if I keep cooking like this, DH and the kids will need to lose weight!!! lol. I guess it is because it is cold, and DH has a cold, as does Madeleine, so I am trying to get some warming foods into them.

Good Afternoon!

happy Anzac Day!!

Brendan is doing really well. He is getting a lil more adventurous now and can stand for around 5-10secs by himself I'm soooo Proud! He has a Paed appt in less than 2 weeks, so I know they are going to be happy with him. He is also bringing his hands together now, but not yet clapping. It shouldn't be too far off I dont think!

My shopping adventure was quick. I forgiot about today being a public holiday and that it was school hols. The place was packed out!! I got what I wanted and got out again!!

Take care everyone

LISA _ I think I will take a big PASS on the black pudding. Yuck. But good for you guys if you like it. Oh wow, you are the bomb. I can't believe you're makign all this stuff & not eating it! I made some anzac bikkies & they were soft, then my sister came over & made me make another batch & she went out somewhere & I got busy playing with my nephew & forget them & the turned out hard. But that's how my sister likes them, so it worked out all around! LOL. Bugger with the colds, they just don't seem to go away just lately.

SAL _ I can't believe that Midland is open. Nothing in Rockingham is open, lucky for me I didn't attempt to go food shopping, will have to do that tomorrow. I had to go to the service station to get some milk because my cupboards are so bare!

ME _ I am just upstairs while Jessica cleans the wall in the loft. She drew a big smiley face on the loft wall that was about 1 metre square. Bad girl she is. The bad thing is that she is loving cleaning it off. LOL.

Love Jayne
