Yesterday I opened Evies book bag and found a red envelope in it...
...I was all excited as I knew it meant an invite :)
The invite is for T (the name could be either a girl or a boy) in my opinion, and nowadays you cant be too sure.
So I asked Evie is T a girl or a boy? Evie said shes a girl :)
So I texted T's Mum to accept and asked if she had any present suggestions?
And she said "anything, he is such a boyish boy" :)
Evie was wrong (but in her defence, I think I know who T is and he does have long hair).
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).

another relief
When I dropped Evie off at school yesterday, I saw Mrs S monitoring the kids coming in, so I asked her if Evie plays at playtime as she tells me that she doesnt,..
...and she said "yes she does" :).
Evie even reiterated it by playing on the slide while waiting for the tachers to open the EYFS classrooms :)
Thats another relief :)
When we were waiting to go in we saw a load of kids with suitcases where they are going on their school adventure holiday, so I told Evie this and I heard one Mum cheer loudly :)
I cant believe that that will be Evie in 6 years time!

no tears Friday
On Friday I was all set for the tears as we were about to get ready to leave, and surprisingly enough she didnt cry...
...it could have been to do with the fact that |I told her that she could buy a cake or just that she is getting more used to it now :)
Talking of cakes Evie chose a chocolate one (no surprise there) and I had 2 as it was £1 for 1 or £1.50 for 2, and a cup of tea was £1 too.
I had a butterfly cake and a chocolate cake pop and they were both lovely :)
I did think about saving 1 for James but decided not to as he probably wouldnt eat it :)
Lunchwise she says that she has liked everything, so I will update her lunch menu until half term at the end of October.
When I was leaving school on Friday it was playtime I looked in the EYFS playground to see if I could see Evie and she wasnt playing, then I saw her in the classroom doing something with Mrs C.
I asked her about whether she plays out at playtime and she says that she doesnt :(.
Hopefully soon enough she will realise how much fun she can have.

she can chose a cake today
Today is an exciting day at school (and not just because its Friday) :)
Her school are holding a MacMillan coffee morning this morning.
I have faked it and bought a swiss roll from M&S :)
I spoke to Evies teacher yesterday and he said that she does eat slowly but is enjoying her lunch, but they will keep an eye on her and will let me know how she gets on :)
And crucially she isnt left on her own and the dinner ladies are still in there with her, so thats good too :)
She had meatballs for lunch yesterday and again she said that she liked them and chocolate arctic roll for dessert which she liked too :)
And she said that she had a play after her lunch so she must have been a bit quicker at eating :)

eat lunch a little quicker please
Yesterday we went to Sainsburys for our mid week top up shop.
I was looking around the clothes (as they have 25% off at the moment) and James and Evie found me and James said that they saw one of Evies classmates outside :) He couldnt remember which one and Evie cant remember her name either.
So James asked her if Evie ate all of her lunch (Evie said she had) the girl then said that Evie was the only one left in the lunch hall.
Evie actually got dressed quickly this morning (so no shouting from me :)).
So I asked her if she could try eating her lunch a bit quicker and she said no she is going to eat super slow!
I told her that the other children then get to play after they have eaten their lunch, so I asked her if she enjoyed eating on her own and she said that she prefers eating with her friends.
She told me that she liked her roast turkey lunch so that was good :)
I will ask her teacher about it today...

stair tumble
After Evie had her bath last night she was walking down the stairs and she must have missed a stair and she tumbled to the bottom :(
We checked that she could wiggle her fingers and toes and that she didnt have a headache and looked to make sure that nothing was swollen, so she is alright in that respect.
She has a slight black eye from where her glasses pushed into her face when she hit the banister at the bottom.
She has PE today so when I drop her off I will have to tell her teacher incase they worry that she got it from doing PE.
She loved her southern fried chicken yesterday.
And she still isnt dressed yet...
...so it looks like I am going to be one of those bad Mums whose kid is walking to school eating their breakfast on the go :)
And she has made a friend and even told me who she sat next to to have her lunch :)

not smaller print
Yesterday I had my eye test, at least it wasnt as bad as the one I had last year :).
I had started to notice though that I was needing to use my reading glasses more!
They did the eye test and told me that my eyes have got worse and significantly enough for me to need new glasses...
I started looking at the Ted Baker ones as they were 2 for 1 but couldnt find 2 pairs that I liked.
So I ended up getting Ralph Lauren (with my second pair being half price).
On the plus side school dinnerwise Evie loved the pepperoni pizza :) today she has southern fried chicken fillet with herby potatoes and baked beans or garden peas and for dessert a fruit corner yoghurt or an apple & banana crisp :)
