TEAM ASTARA!!!








Well it has been a great week!!! I am so proud of myself! We have come so far, Murray and I are closer than ever and I have had support from everywhere! I just feel much better about everything and a little more in control - i still dont get through my "to do" list but I really dont care anymore! Team Astara rocked over the weekend and seriously kicked some Fat Ass!!
Astara Beauty and Beyond on facebook is our latest addition - but i'll just keep the ideas coming!!!!! so keep watching this space!!!! xxxxx

On a home note, my Murray is in aberdeen doing a course this week so i'm flying solo with a beautiful bambino, my princess bunny, 3 fish and i'm supposed to be working full time!! things should be FUN!! This course means a lot to him so i hope it all goes well, but to be honest i so wish it was on another week or not at all, as i've finally gotten used to having him around since May and now i'm missing him lots! :(

Joseph is just doing fabulous! He's trying to sit up, is giggling like mad, smiles lots and lots and is utterly charming! Mum and I did a mad dash round dundee retail park today to try and get him some new clothes - everyone gave him sooo much 0-3 month clothes when he was born and hardly any 3-6 months which is what he's in now!! He's 15 weeks old tomorrow and is massive! He is so long and fit looking - just like his dad! He's not fat, just completely solid! He's on 4 8oz bottles each day and the bloody milk truck keeps zooming into queens gardens and waking him up, so unfortunatel he's back to waking again at 5am but will usually have been sleeping since bout 9pm so thats not too bad!!
Anyway, we got him cool noisy toys today that he loves to shout and speak to and there is this poor rabbit that he punches in the head! Mur says he's "south paw" which i think means he's a left handed boxer?? but anyway my big strong handsome baby boy can pack a punch (just like daddy!)

He's getting weighed again on Thursday but i think im working so will miss it - but his granny hughes will be here, so he'll be in safe hands! I cant wait to see how much he has grown!

Must dash, I'm going to have to go now but i'll be back on and updating again soon!!

PS - i fitted into my size 8 jeans the other day (I just ignored the muffin top and breathed in like there was no tomorrow) - but i managed to get them up!!!! (i couldnt wear them but i still got them on!!!!) YAAAYYY!!!!!! :)

pps - blogger is being a pain and wont let me upload any pics - i will keep on trying tho!

The Only Way is UP!!!!

Just popped on to say hi to everyone and to say a huge big, sorry i've not been on for ages!
Things have been manic and its nothing to do with poor baby Joe who is a complete superstar! And somehow i've managed not to have a nearvous breakdown!!!

Things have been slightly stressful to say the least! So much for enjoying my maternity leave! in the last fortnight poor Dotty has had a cancerous tumour removed and was taking little fits and we have almost lost her - but today she seems so much better and happy with shiny fur! My poor beautiful bunny, i'm devestated at the thought of being without her, but the main thing is we need to give her an awesome summer full of fun and lazy days in the garden!

But my god, the bloody most stressful thing to me has ben The Salonm things there have been pretty crazy and have pretty muched caused complete chaos, as I'm now back in working full time to sort out a shambles, left by my therapist when she decided to quit, probably taking half of my clients, my receptionist has also left as she's friends with the therapist, and i to be honest for staff cover over the next few weeks i think we might just be up shit creek without a paddle, but my angels havnt let me down so far - so i'm sure things will sort out!

- but i will say one thing - Dawn has picked on the wrong girl and my god i'm gonna kick some ass!!!! Watch this space cos i've been brainstorming and I rock at that!! so keep on checking up on here for some excellent pictures and i'll tell you what we've all been up to ............. COME ON TEAM ASTARA!!!!!!!!!!!!
