First timer!

Well this is my first post on my first blog!

I thought I could use this blog to record my musings... it'll probably make no sense whatsoever!

Tonight was my first night letting my 8 month old daughter "cry it out", a method recommended by many friends and family, including my brother and lovely mother-in-law to be Carol. It took fifty minutes, but she is now fast asleep, giving me a chance to start this! Abbie is normally a very happy baby but difficult to settle with "cuddle" methods. I adore her more than I can say, this is her a few days ago:

I'm also going to be blogging about my Slimming World progress, as I have little to no will power and am hoping this step will embarrass me into being good! So far I have lost 12.5 lbs overall and am trying to pull back my weight loss to the 1st .5lbs I was at two weeks ago! (that's what a Christening and a trip to a gig will do to you!)

Tonight's meal is chicken and chips, both cooked in my beloved Tefal Actifry, bought for me as a treat by my wonderful fiancée, Nick. I don't think he expected me to be anywhere near as excited as I was when I saw it!

Well, must dash. got a couple of hours to myself before the hubby to be gets in from a hard day's work.

Night all!
