SUNDAY DON'T YOU JUST LOVE THIS DAY

Out last night.  Yeap drank in abundance.  Had a fabulous night out.  Christmas jumper  extremely chilled bottles of Budweiser.  Then Sunday here it is.   

DID I MENTION THE CAKE

Oh my days I decided to have a go at baking cakes.  Didn't turn out good.  Well it went into the bin.  So after some advise from my good friend Alison.  Karen go get a cake mix.  No way.  I am doing this by scratch.  So in the isle of baking cakes in Morrison's.  I looked at the cake mix section.  Decided if it's for an 8" tin I'm having it. What do you know Betty Crocker eat your heart out.  Problem solved.  Baked, butter creamed up, and all scoffed.  Took about 24 hours.  This is the practice run.  I'm going to do Samantha's 21st Birthday cake.

THAT TOOK CARE OF SATURDAY

What a weekend.  Had a day of yesterday Saturday.. A day trip was planned for York.  You know what it was a fabulous day.  Up the road down the road half way up the shambles .  Then up the road down the road.  I'm sure Nandos is close by I saw it.  So again up the road down the road.  Find it.  Wow hot chips and double chicken breast medium peri peri bloody medium heat .  What the chuff me lips pealed. I can't read this I need glasses.  You have glasses.  Yes I know but I left them at home.  Now on the way back to the bus.  Oh look bright lights.  Come on lets have a look.  I'm sure when they say be back at the coach for 3:45 they mean 4ish.  Oh my days we've only gone and found the bloody shops we were looking for. Quick nip in to Clarks feeling sad cause we found the shops.  Better head back. Up the road, down the road.  Cross the road back down the road.  Have they just popped up that fair ground up tonight.  No this way.  Do you remember the sweet stall.  Oh yeah sure I do I bought 2 bags of sweets.  We going the right way.  LOST!!!!! Laughing so much a weed a little I will admit.  So check watch just after 4pm.  Back up the road down the road cross the road.  Finally we heading the right direction and we now 4:12. So ok we late. We had a decision.  Do we stay in York and get the train back.  Head to the coach for it be gone.  Or head to the coach and have to face them all being very late.  So in case they are waiting for us we headed to the bus.  We heading to the gate and I nearly bashed into a bollard I jolted and and peed doesn't help laughing while rushing.  Finally we on the bus 4:26pm.  We was the last but hey life's a laugh.  Still gutted we found the bloody shops on the way home.  The few things I bought I like apart from the jumper not sure.  Still sat with my hat on. 

SEXY FLATTER ABS

oh my days ..... I'm chain crunching the cheese and onions.  This diet just isn't going my way.  Might give exercise a total try.  Got a brill DVD a zumba one it's fab and I well erm.  Look trust me it's fabulous.  Try again tomorrow.   Actually go online and track all I eat and see if that controls my scoffing.  Still haven't done my snowman card as I wanted to.  I must treat this blog like one of them tamagotchi things.  Just remembered what happened to Samantha's.  Own up time.  She will have to read my blog if she wants to hear my confession.  I threw it out of the window.  Their I said it.  Wonder what happened to the furby.  I had nothing to do with that.  So back to tomorrow and my weight loss plan.  I read in a magazine an article with Chloe Meadly.  Leg exercises are the best exercises to get rid of fat and burn the calories.  Should start walking to work.  Keep my self busy and that would do the trick.  Oh enough about that.  Had a go at sewing the other night.  Might be able to sew straight.  Wow it isn't easy sewing things together.  Wont give up.  Got a few things to get right.  Not doing so good with my mini cricket either.  Need to clear the table then might get this card made.   I really want to do it but somehow cant get on with it.  Chopped a few bushes down instead tonight.  I seam to have the intentions to craft.  Then wander in a total different direction.  Them bushes did need lopping.  I so love that word always thought it was a made up word.  Then what do you know I was in Wilko's and purchased a lopper to lop the bushes down.  That's the brown wheelie bin filled ready for 2 weeks time.  Nope I'm going to make a start with this card of mine.  Then this time tomorrow I will post it on here.  You have my word. 

HE GOT HIS HEAD KICKED IN

So about the story with the snowman.  Many, many years ago.  Some time in the 70's you know when snow was in industrial amounts.  I built my self a snowman.  From one small snowball.  I so happily rolled it up the street, down the street.  Back up the street.  It just went on and on like that, until the snowman's body was built.  Did the same for the head. I had frozen feet and soggy gloves.  But I had a snowman in our front garden.  That was such a fabulous Saturday afternoon.  Sunday morning had arrived no different from any other Sunday.  I opened the living room curtains.  What do you know my snowman had moved and was looking right at me.  It was all bashed and battered and not really looking much like the snowman I built that Saturday afternoon.  Or even in the same place.  More snow had laid throughout the night so the garden had a blanket of snow but you could see the trail the snowman had left no foot prints nothing the bloody thing had moved. You see what happened that Saturday evening all the other snowmen and mine got their heads kicked in.  Not sure if a fight broke out between them.  Or it was horrible youths just decided to kick the snowmen's heads in.  I really have no idea. That Sunday morning was magical to a 7 year old and that 7 year old was me.  I found out later on that my Dad and Sister rebuilt the snowman and knowing how daft and gullible I was knew it would be funny to re build it and move it.  I have dedicated a card to the story that will hopefully be posted tomorrow.  

THE DIET STARTS TOMORROW

Here I go again.  I started yet another diet.    Weight Watchers here I go.  Ok I shall be honest with you if not with my self.  I started it 2 weeks ago.  Week 1 my start weight was 11stone 7lb...... I did brill for my first week . I lost 4lb.  So that took me down to 11stone 3lb  I have no idea if I stayed within my points but I kept out of the bakery and stuck to 3 meals a day.  Last weeks was total disaster.  I was the sugar monster.  So Monday morning I am going to be star slimmer.  Plan of action is to plan ahead.  That should work.  I keep getting emails reminding me to track my points and nope I haven't done it once.  I am a fool.  I bloody paid for it and I know it works.  So why do I think I can rebel.  Some how I haven't put any weight back on. Just remembered a 6 pack of chomps in the fridge.  Look if it's within my points, I can eat it.  Wonder how many points actually are in a chomp shall just check.........Turns out 3 point not bad.  Was going to buy a pack of stickers and point up the food in the cupboards fridge and the freezer.  Then thought better of it as it would look like I have won it all on a raffle.  My only tip I have and can honestly say works is to bag up my frozen chips into 120grm bags as when cooked they are 100grm.  Oh and the cereal.  I bag that up into 30grm bags.  It stays crunchy and no cheating. Got my new sewing machine out on the table and loads of dies and loads of stuff .  Time to do something.  Oh and plan the diet.  Must give Samantha a shout to take some photos and stuff as I go along to upload on here.  You never know this blog might actually be full of a load of nothing.

LIKE THAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN

It's been an age since I've blogged on my blog.  Ok be honest our Karen.  I haven't gone on since I decided I was going to do something with it, and Samantha deleted everything.  As I wanted to start again. I couldn't log on as I am so confused with strange things that have happened with  my google account.  However here I am and I am going to make something and put it on here.  No really I am.  I even made another blog with wordpress.  So I am going to keep both going.  Have you heard me.  I am going to liven up 2 blogs.  If I am honest.  I have no idea what I am doing with either of them but if one wont have me then I am sure the other one will.    

ME MYSELF and this underactive thyroid

So here it is I'm fat.  I blame my underactive thyroid.  How dare I.  Own up time.  So today had it all planned had cereal sorted. Made lunch, a buttie, bag of crisps, a biscuit and an apple.  So far so good.  Went and got my diet fizzy pop.  Mind I need to hit that on the head.  Oh no 79p for a huge bar of chocolate and 49p for a bag off fizzy sweets.  WHY!!!! Got to work .  Scoffed the bar of chocolate went for a paper then opened the sweets and scoffed the lot.  My mouth hurts.  Then, well, look it's my birthday on Sunday and Val got me a tub of sweets my favourite kind.  I've scoffed them but got 2 fizzy belts left.  Come home made tea.  Then I've scoffed 4 bags of crisps and ate a huge cookie.  I'm actually sat deciding if I dare bare all.  Seeing is believing and this could be a self help kind of trip.  No one needs to see it or know about it.  Only anyone that stumbles upon it.  Dare I or dare I not.  What I want to do is take a photo of me in my Grundy's and the weight on the scales and log the diet journey.  Then every 6lb take a photo of me in  me Grundy's   and the weight on the scales.  The thought frightens me a little.  Might chat to Sam and see what she thinks I have a camera could take the photo my self or get Sam to use her camera and we can upload onto here.  Nope just thought better not If someone happens to stumble on this then who knows what will happen to the photo.  So a clothed photo and a photo of the scales as proof.  Yes my mind is made up.  Off to do the photo shoot and  talk Samantha into doing the photo.   

TOMORROW IT'S ALWAYS GOING TO BE TOMORROW

Tomorrow, no really tomorrow is going to be the big  blog day.  I have plans and ideas and will divulge and share things.  Going to be daily entries, apart from this Tuesday and Wednesday.  I'm off to Coronation street set, and Liverpool.  Bit of a mini break.  So planning might be the way forward.  Write a list and go from their.  Me being me I tend to wander in directions.  Hopefully I will get a birds eye view on me and find out who am I.   Am I boring or strange.  No idea I think I'm bad tempered and funny.  Will this blog show the real me.  Will I show warts and all.  Or just gloss over things.  Hope I manage to put photos on.  I'm sure I can shout out for help.

THE BIG BANG

I've had this page set up for about 2 years and nothing has happened.  I did have a few post on here, but did nothing interesting.  Had a plan delete all and start again.  That was about 5 months ago.  So tonight is the night.  No idea what I will blog.  So think the blog title is extremely apt.  So just going to play about and try to master the art of blogging.  I might enjoy, achieve or give up. If nothing else I will get an insight in my life, and see where it actually is, that I am going.  Oh I'm going on a journey.  Life's a one way ticket..........
