Changes

Hello my lovely followers, yet again it has been a while since my last blog, but i have been through a few changes in my life.  My first big change was going through a very big operation, i had a gastric by-pass on August 1st 2013, on the morning i weighed 19.1 stones which is 121.2 kilo 267.4 pounds, now 6 weeks 4 days i now weigh 17.4 stones 110.5 kilo 243.6 pound, so to say i am happy is an understatement lol.

It has been a very hard process, but been very worth it, but am still learning my tolerances with my foods as one day i van eat something but the next it will disagree with me, but leave it a few days and i will be fine with it

    Me the night before my op, i'm not scared at all                         

The sexy stocking i had to wear for the 6 weeks 

A couple of before and after pics

Early mornings and bad dreams

Well it's 5:53 on Thursday morning, and I have woken up after having a not so bad, bad dream, not a happy bunny :-(

Hate it when that happens, you wake up with such a start and the dream still running through my thoughts, that you can't get back to sleep (ARRGGG)

Well that little rant is over, so think I will go play in my room for a bit, then try to get back to sleep, so I can watch Tom Johnson, Maria Simms and Dawn Bibby on Create & Craft (671 sky, 36 freeview) @ 12pm Thursday 27th September, with more SplodgeAway and some really fantastic new products, that the design team have had the pleasure to play with, and create some wonderful demo's for you to see and give you inspiration to make your own beautiful creations, so please tune in, and enjoy the show

Ok now I'm off to play so see you all soon xx
