Back to School - Day 7 - I love Shopping I Do

OK, so my stash diet lasted all of 3 days! In my defence the stash that I bought wasn't for me. So technically it doesn't count, right? I ordered this gorgeous Heidi Grace album for my friend's little girl who incidentally is celebrating her 1 week old birthday today - Happy Birthday Baby Ellen :)

My lesson for to today is that there are always ways to get around stash diets - shop for your friends!! ;p Thanks for stopping by. Kxx

Back to School - Day 6 - I love Monday's I Do

Monday's rock!! I already knew that but I wanted to remind myself. Monday's are known as Yummy Mummy Mondays in my world. OK, so I'm playing fast and loose with the word 'yummy' but Mummy and Monday are all true ;p Monday is the only day that I get my little man all to myself and I love it. My lesson for today is: never forgot how special Yummy Mummy Monday's are and make the most of each and every single one :) Love you little man, Mummy xx

Back to School - Day 5 - Take Notes

I learnt a very important Learn Something New lesson yesterday... I must write my lessons down as soon as I think of them!! I can remember thinking at some point yesterday ooh that is a good lesson for LSNED but today I have forgotten it! d'oh! I can also extent this lesson to my WW diet as I've been struggling latey and guess what? I haven't written a thing down. Here's to a day of writing things down today :)

Back to School - Day 4

Yesterday I learnt that it is going to take a very, very, very, very long time to paint our garden fence, along with our shed, the little man's swing, our table and four chairs plus the little man's playhouse. I haven't even ordered the playhouse yet even though there are only four weekends between now and the little man's 2nd birthday! I guess my lesson is that there just aren't enough hours in the day :)

This is the playhouse the little man's Grandparents and all his Aunties and Uncles and Mummy and Daddy are buying for his birthday in October. I can't wait to see his little face when he sees it :)

Back to School - Day 3

It's only 11am but I am 100% sure that I have already learnt my lesson for today... I do not NEED to buy any more scrapbooking supplies. I hereby declare that I am not only on a Weightwatchers diet but a stash diet as well. Who's with me? Weightwatchers, stash, both? :)

I won't share any pre-diet photos but here are some of the scrapbooking goodies that will be winging their way onto pages very, very soon. No more shopping!!! ;p

Lots n' lots of lovely ribbon

Cropper Hoppers and magazine files full of stickers, patterned papers and cardstock

Back to school - day 2

Yesterday I learned that it is possible to walk PAST the vending machine on the way to the carpark. It seems I didn't need the crisps, chocolate and full fat Coke for the journey home after all :) Me - 1, Vending Machine - 0

First day of school

Yesterday was my first day of school or day one of Shimelle's Learn Something New Everyday class. I really struggled all day to pin point something that I had learned. I was starting to fret that I would be the dunce of the class, that I would be sent outside to sit in the corridor when it dawned on me that that was my lesson! Trying too hard can sometimes be a hinderence. Sometimes I should simply let things happen and go with the flow and that is what I learned yesterday. Thanks for stopping by Kxx
