Your greatness is not what you have, it's what you give.
Good morning world, it's looking like it's going to be
another lovely day, wasn't yesterday fab!
Mine started with my super Saturday gang, our final MacMillan coffee
morning, which was a huge success, the total raised over the week was £461.02,
thanks to everyone who donated, thanks to Jane for donating her 'Spot the Cake'
prize money, absolutely brilliant week, so together with the £90 raised by the
leaders at my area meeting, I shall be banking a grand total of £551.02, that's
just incredible isn't it. The leaders on
my area alone have raised £3665.82 so far, so I know
the rest of the Weight Watchers in UK will have done Macmillan proud, just goes
to show, when people get together and support each other, great things
happen.
I also had almost £90 donated by
a lovely lady named Val, she gave me her money box contents, I'm going to bag that
up this morning, that's going to my Alzheimer's collection along with the £22
donated by Jayne's money box. Aren't
people lovely.
So once I'd finished with the
cake, I stopped at Lidl's on the way home to buy all their cyclamen plants for
my garden, to put over my bulbs, after an hour of potting up, I realised I'd
bought way too many bulbs and nowhere near enough pansy's and cyclamen to cover
them, so a drive to the garden centre was needed. I got mom and Alfie to come along for the
ride, despite there being too many Macmillan leftovers in my kitchen, mom
decided to have afternoon tea outside whilst I shopped for more cyclamen and
grow bags! We can both highly recommended
Pipers on the A5 by Gailey island (Watling St, ST19
5PR), they're great value for money,
fab plants, my hanging baskets were incredible this summer, and mom says they
do a mean latte and cherry scone!
So the afternoon was spent,
potting more bulbs and plants, my ladders now have white cyclamen in for the
autumn, and I still have bulbs left! I
had to stop around half five though, I was truly shattered!
The truth is I bought too many
bulbs! Although I may put some of the
ones that are left in the ground up the back, rather than pots and hanging baskets,
I need to have a think this morning whilst I have a posh coffee sitting
enjoying the planting I've already done.
Today I getting back to 100%
tracking, that really hasn't been easy this week, too much cake in my meetings,
I'm actually going to throw away the leftover savoury tart in the kitchen, yes
I know it cost money, but let's be honest even if there was a tenners worth
(which there isn't) but if I ate what is there, I'd be guaranteed at least a
2lb weight gain, I'd happily spend £10 to lose 2lb! So I'm recognising my stomach is not the
"waist bin", the waste bin is up the corner in the kitchen! Mom can work her way through the cake, I can
live without that, although there are some lemon cakes I'm going to have to
resist and get her to hide.
Got me some nice food to look
forward to today, I really need some vegetables in my life, a big plate of
greens mmm. Might have eggs and spinach
for breakfast too, mmm wished I could make Eggs Benedict, I could just eat
that, they serve it in Wetherspoons apparently!
But I ain't spend 15pp on breakfast!
Right I'm off to start my day, bit
of paperwork, then the rest of the day WW free, apart from my Facebook group of
course ;)
