It’s Mums’ List time with the fabulous Hannah over at Mums’ Days. Mums’ List allows us to share any posts that are in list form! I use it to share the highlights (personal and blogging) of our week and also the things that still need to be ticked off my Mums’ List! Miss Hannah is away on holibags next week, so I am taking the reins and hosting #MumsList for two weeks.
REAL LIFE
- We finished the makeover on Baby’s playhouse & garden. #ThankGod!
- We need to finish our mini kitchen makeover. #StillHatePainting
- We have done lots of playing this week and visited five different playgrounds.
- Since the NHS are rubbish and my appointment has been messed up. I have started SlimFast again (my hardcore version, as I don’t have all the calories they recommend). I do not advocate this at all, as I feel awful, but going hardcore is the only thing that works for me (as I can’t do much exercise). In 4 days I have lost 10lb (I have LOTS more than that to lose and it’s probably all water, but good start!). It is NOT a long term solution, let’s hope the NHS pull their finger out to help me in a long term, sustainable way.
- I had my first ‘therapy’ session, but in reality I just answered lot of questions over the phone. Got a face to face next week. Yikes! #PND
- I need to focus and find Baby’s new wallpaper. As we must start her new room makeover!
- I am about to start French lessons. #OperationMoveToFrance
REAL LIFE WEEKLY GOAL: Read my new book. I failed last week. #MustTryHarder #WhatMeTime
BLOG & SOCIAL MEDIA
- My most popular new blog post this week has been my Disney giveaway.
- New blog discovery; One Tiny Leap – Join Maria and her family in Lisbon, while they plan their around the world family adventure. Stunning photo’s, but may leave you wanting a holiday!
- We went to CBeebies Land with CBeebies Magazine last weekend. Baby loved the ITNG boat ride #CBeebiesMagKidsGoFree (post next week).
Baby in her plastic prison at CBeebies Land!
- We are off to a Fisher Price event in London next week. So excited to meet up with my blogging friends again.
- I have a few blog anniversary type posts planned, I just need a bit of time to pull them together. I also have lots of lovely Giveaways coming up!
BLOG/SOCIAL MEDIA WEEKLY GOAL: Focus on the Blogiversary! #AnniversaryCardsWelcome

Thank you. I love a good list, keeps the mind focused 🙂 x
I suffered with PND and the you are already half way there just admitting it, so well done. Here are some of my musings on it http://musingsfronthemadhouse.blogspot.co.uk/

Thanks Jen, I will have a read x
Gwenn doesn’t do raincovers either.
I get a lot of “looks” from old ladies wondering why she’s getting soaked, but the bugger won’t keep the thing on!!
Whatever floats your boat I suppose 😉

Baby isn’t too bad, but does like to fake an escape! 🙂 xx
Peek a boo baby! Such a sweetheart! Hope your therapy goes well, I thought I’d just mention that PANDAS foundation run a Facebook page on pnd and its a really good resource on tough days x #mumslist
Author
Thank you, she does make us smile! Oh thanks I will have a look, that is kind of you to mention it x
Ehh I know what you mean #hatepainting. I’m halfway through my kitchen makover 🙁
Author
I wish we were rich, could pay decorators and go on holiday while they do it! 🙂 x
I love your lists – do they motivate you to do more? I’m going to start a weekly to do list for myself (just in a notebook though – not on the blog) and I’m hoping for some much needed motivation x x
Author
Thanks hun. Yes I think they do, I like to keep track of things and I think they focus my attention xx
Aww such a cute pic of Baby!
Ive been planning to do some decorating for ages…haven’t got round to it yet!
Author
Thank you. It is such an effort isn’t it?! x
we have been in the process of decorating our boys room for a few months now but it’s so difficult to keep both an 8 year old and a 4 year old happy when they have such different tastes in things
Author
It is so difficult isn’t it. Such a struggle to do anything! x
aw she’s such a cutie!! ENjoy your meet up with blogging friends 🙂
Author
Thank you huni x
Wow! You do seem to have loads going on. We have just finished a DIY project, so know that DIY feeling.
Author
Always quite busy! I hate DIY, awful x
So happy you and Baby had lots of play time and visited some playgrounds. I hope your therapy appointment next week goes well. It’s always scary at first.
Author
We did thank you and thanks fingers crossed it is helpful x
I have been to a few blog events now and at first I was quite apprehensive until I got there and I had such a lovely time.
Author
It is great meeting up with other bloggers x
It sounds like you had a busy week! What a cute picture of baby! Peekaboo! x
Author
Thank you hun x
Oh sweetie, I don’t recommend slim fast at all. I am doing thinking slimmer and it is brilliant as it changes your habits. You don’t get the quick fix of slim fast, but you lose it slow and steady so you don’t put it all back on again.
I can put you in contact with Sandra if you like xxx
Author
Thanks so much hun. I have done SF before and only ever do it for a short time. I just have so much to lose that I can’t do it all slow and steady as I will never get there. Some needs to come off fast. Still waiting for NHS appointment, been waiting since Jan/Feb. I was in contact with Sandra, but it fizzled out before we fixed anything up xxx
Great list and I hope they sort your appointment out very soon
Author
Thank you so much hun, so do I! x
10lbs in 4 days??! Oh my goodness!! I do prefer to do things hardcore too….but that does sound a lot!! Good luck with it all, I need to do something about weight loss soon.
Author
It evened out to 11lb over the 7 days. So not a bad start. Just disheartening as so far to go x
Good luck with the weight loss and therapy sessions x
Author
Thanks so much hun x
Wow, what a combination of awesome and challenging your week has been xx Have a great time at Fisher Price but don’t pass out with the lack of food!! You and me are as bad as each other for our extreme dieting…! Thanks for hosting for the next 2 weeks!
hxxx #Mumslist

Go hard or go home is my dieting philosophy! 😉 No serious it doesn’t work if I don’t go hardcore. My pleasure hun, it will be fun xx
Gosh, lots of things going on for you right now. Nice to know that Baby enjoyed Cbeebiesland. Hope your therapy goes well and that the NHS comes through for you.
Author
Thanks so much, so do I but I won’t hold my breath x
haha I love that shot of her in her ‘plastic prison’ sounds like you’ve had a crazy busy week! x
Author
She is a little cutie x
