what a fortnight

Well, I did plant the pansies, finish decorating the bedroom too! Just got he landing to do now!

Been to visit my family over the school holidays, though cut it short as there was too much atmosphere when my other half joined us. Saw my new niece, she reminds me so much of my daughter when she was born! And saw my not so little nephew, who is 4 months, in 9 months clothing!! Learnt more about my father, and dislike him even more now, if that is possible! I was civil to him, which I thought was very good of me, when I could have slapped him and told him to go to hell. Anyway, hopefully things will get sorted there. He has moved out....for now! Who knows how long it will last before my mum caves in and lets him back, and puts up with his lies and deceit. I just don't understand her sometimes. How can anyone put themselves through it time and time again? Once, forgive, twice, your out, my motto. I know it may be different if I was in her shoes, but I just can't see it. And I found out my sister has been back on heroin over the last couple of months....this upset me. She didn't tell me, it came from my mum, who was told by my dad, who was told by her when she confronted him with a lot of stuff whilst a little worse for wear! This is the sister who tried to commit suicide, by a supposed insulin od, but we are beginning to wonder if it was heroin now :( It's all such a mess.

Diet going ok, lost 1lb in the last two weeks, which is good to say I have eaten rubbish with being away, stressed, and on! Think it might catch up with me this week though! That elusive 2 stone marker is only 1/2 lb off, and it seems to be taking forever! I have had some nice compliments though recently of people noticing my weight loss, which is a boost!

Off to make lunch, and bake....I need to bake today!
