Yesterday Evie was in a whingy mood (I thought she was just playing up because James was being narky about going back to work).
Last night she woke up a few times (every couple of hours) and would be crying so one of us (me the first couple of times) would go in and get her to go back to sleep.
Then this morning just after 6 am she woke up and was crying again so I went in to her room and she was lying there crying and I could see something green in her mouth so I got her to sit up and she was sick and it was green, I think that it was snot.
She is sitting there quite happily now watching tv now.
I will have to see how she is after breakfast as to if we go to Tumble Tots or not.
despite being a chocoholic I have managed to lose 4 and a half stone in 12 months. This is my diary of the highs and lows of trying to keep the weight off (or at least under reasonable control).

it was complete with a guitar playing vicar
This weeks Project Flickr is graveyards, so I had 2 nearby options, either go into town and do the graveyard in Chelmsford Cathedral or All Saints Church (hee hee it even has Sunday services that you can download! BTW I will not be downloading them ;o)) which is very nearby.
As I didnt fancy going into town we (or rather I) walked and Evie sat in the buggy ;o)
When we got there there was a banner outside advertising their Summer Special, so I had a walk around the graveyard deciding what would make a good photo when an old lady came out and asked if I was "lost" so I told her no and that I as just having a look around.
She then told me about the "summer special" and how it was on at the moment if we wanted to go in, I thought to myself why not, Evie will enjoy herself...
...there was a horseshoe of tables and we went to the first one which was "treasure box "decorating ;o)
there was also "coloured sand" to make patterns on paper (we didnt get time to do that).
We also didnt get time to do a bag for Evie either, but we did do a fan ;o)
It then ended with singing songs...
...my god is big (which I didnt know) and hes got the whole world in his hands which I only knew the chorus to.
And then there were prayers.
It reminded me back to when I was 17 and me and my friend Emma got talked into by another friend going to the Pentecostal Church Youth group and we both said that if they start praying we are getting out of there...
...of course they did start praying but we couldnt really sneak out ;o) and our friend said after that it wasnt normally "that bad" still, we didnt go back again ;o)

smoking hot power adaptor
This morning just as James was leaving for work he told me that the rocker switch on the power adaptor for the laptop was broken so he had unplugged it.
So remembering this I plugged it back in and turned on the laptop and then I heard a crackling noise and smoke was coming out of the back of the power adaptor so I switched it off (after it had stopped crackling as I didnt want an electric shock!).
I texted James and told him and now he is hassling me to check ratings and stuff!

14 days to upload
Almost three weeks ago I did a video motion picture of Evie in the back garden using my smartphone.
I uploaded it using the flickr app, then it stopped uploading it two weeks ago when I uploaded a photo for project flickr so I started uploading it again and it finally uploaded yesterday ;o)
All in all it took two weeks to upload!
and here is her toy buggy full of stones ;o)

We have a shoot
I have been watering the plant that Evie did when we went to Hyde Hall on Friday...
...James was saying only the other day that he didnt think that it would grow because it was too wet!
Well this morning I saw a shoot in the plant pot ;o)
Evie was more interested in watching Mr Blooms Nursery than posing for a photo ;o)
