Well this sitting around on my bum all day is really getting rather tiring and boring! There is only so much that I am able to do while being on crutches and I am supposed to be resting my foot! I have folded the washing (for Stephan to put away tonight) and done the tiding up that I am able to do easily! Am playing a couple of games of scrabble through Facebook but moves can take a while as the opponent could live anywhere in the big wide world! Not really into jigsaw puzzles that much, crosswords don't interest me, sudoku does a wee bit, but haven't got any books at the moment and don't really like the online games for some reason! And there is only so much TV/DVD's one can watch along with only so much computer time one can put up with!
I think I said yesterday that I see the specialist on the 6th May so that is still 6 days at home alone plus a weekend thrown in as well... but then Stephan has been busy helping his parents out that, and takes Rachel with him that I am often home alone for a few hrs at the weekends too!
Sorry for the crabby post - am not sleeping well at the moment so am tired and crabby during the days... I am doing my best not to nap during the days but sometimes I fall asleep in the chair without realising it if you know what I mean... I was in quite a bit of pain (in my foot) for a wee while during the night, almost woke Stephan up to get him to get my codine tablets but I managed to get through it ok in the end.
One thing about being immobile is that Stephan has definitely realised how much I do around the house! Don't get me wrong as he is pretty good at times, but he tends to go into his own wee world especially in the evenings while I plod around doing all the little things... which of course he is needing to do at the moment. Think he is getting a bit pee'd off at times when I remind him that such and such needs doing but he generally does do them ok... eventually that is!
Enough rambling for today - be back later :)

I am in shock...
Can't believe that there are still people who actually check in here to see if I have done an update despite it being almost 12mths since my last update!
Not only have I been a slack at updating here, I have also been very slack in reading other blogs too! It's about once a month (or even 2 mths) when I read blogs and even then I get slack at commenting... so will not be surprised if I have dropped others blog radars too!
Though I guess the main thing is that most of you probably already know what I am up to as I do frequent (to often at times) updates on Facebook :)
As for my weight - that is not good at all - at the weigh in for the hospital (just had an operation on my heel and Achilles) put me at 134 kilos!!!! Which is almost 5 kilos heavier than my heaviest weight!!! Admittingly I had on heavy jeans etc but still, it was not a nice figure to see on the scales! And when one is only 5ft zero, that weight is definitely far to much to carry!!!! For those that know my history, I did lose 42 odd kilos prior to having Rachel but since having her (4 1/2 yrs ago) my weight has just gone up and up and up - very slowly but it has still been going up! It probably hasn't been helped by my heel problems and the inability to do much exercise and yes I know there is aqua jogging etc, but when one is very self conscious of wearing togs, once doesn't go to the pool very often at all!
I am definitely not going to cover everything that has happened over the last 12 mths otherwise I will be here forever!!! In fact I am not even sure where to start - I am still big (well bigger than last update), still lazy (to a degree), still working full time while trying to be the best mum to Rachel and wife to Stephan! We have recently got a cleaner in to take one job off us which we both used to argue over at the weekends as we both dislike housework! LOL Letitia is just wonderful and a real superwoman when it comes to cleaning!
Rachel is 4 1/2 and starts school in November! She is so ready to be at school so roll on the next 6mths! Can't believe that my baby is going to be 5!!! Where have the last 5 years gone to??? She does have the attitude of a teenager at times but from what I can gather from fellow mummy friends - this is normal but very, very trying at times!
I had an operation on my heel and achilles 2 weeks ago so am currently in a moonboot full time (night and day) until I see the surgeon next Friday. Am supposed to be going back to work the following Monday but not sure if I will be or not as I am unable to drive and with no driving makes it difficult to get Rachel to creche and myself to the station. We do have a couple of plans up our sleeves so just need to talk those through sometime soon so we know what is happening. But even if I get to the station, I still need to then get from the train to the bus and then have to manage the walk up to work as well so it will be a long day when I do get back to work.
Anyway, that's enough for tonight - my foot is sore and I need to be resting it again! Will be back soon I promise!

Anyonee around??
Just thought I would just post a test update to see if anyone was actually still around - it's been almost a year since I updated and boy oh boy so much has happened. Would like to try to update more frequently if I can but no promises.
