Happy birthday band

I was banded one week ago today! Feels like quite a long time ago now, all seems to be healing well and i'm very happy that its over. My stomach muscles have been quite sore and crampy lately but nothing I can't handle.

Went out for a 30 minute walk earlier, I live in a tiny village but its quite pretty, I had my itouch on which made the time go quicker, it also meant that I ignored some of my neighbours as by the time i'd managed to turn the thing off they'd gone! Still, it meant that I had music to keep my company, mainly Morrissey (I love love love Morrissey), the Killers (I love Brandon Flowers too) with a little Lily Allen and a tiny bit of Joni Mitchell (oh my goodness i'm turning in to my Father!!)

Paul and the children are back tomorrow, I thought that I might be really lonely but actually i've really enjoyed being here alone, normally I have deadlines of some kind, school drop off/pick up, bath time, bed time, dinner time, paul returning from work etc but I have none at the moment and I love it! Still i'll be really pleased to see them all, I have spoken to them all on the telephone serveral times a day.

We don't have much planned for this weekend but on Sunday we're taking George (2 and a half) to meet and ride on Thomas the Tank Engine, I think he'll love it and will be beyond excited but you never know, I hope that he'll love it anyway. Will try and take some pictures and upload them to my blog although I have no idea how to do it!

The scale was a pound up today, i'm not worried, its just a blip and I know that my weight loss will start to slow down, i'm taking in about 800 cals a day now.

Happy Thursday everyone!
