Well i did the theory test this morning and passed Yaaay! :D
Thought for a mo i hadnt as on one of the hazard perception clips i scored a zero as i had 'over clicked' as such!
But i got 35 out of 35 on the multiple choice and 56 out of 75(need 44 to pass) on the hazard perception :D
And i have booked up to do the CBT(compulsory basic training) for motorcycle on the 6th sept :D
And if i pass that i can then ride with 'L' plates or carry on to go in for the practical test etc
Would need to pick up a cheap bike maybe at some point if i can :)
Anyway feeling quite pleased with myself on that aspect :D
Diet wise, i am trying to be sensible at the mo- without pigging out :)
And am 'prepping up' to restart the SW plan again and try and get right back into it like i did before and lose the last bit of weight,and also get the kids in on it too :)
As for things with the Ex- well he wasnt so pleased when he heard that i was doing the bike thing-(youre not taking the kids out on a bike etc- I wasnt planning to!- i will be dead within 6 months etc!) never has liked them and put me off it over the years- but now he cant tell me what i can and cant do anymore :)
And quite frankly the things he has said to me in the past- its just as well he found someone else-good luck to her!
My solicitor seems to think he is a control freak b/c he gets nasty and threatens if he doesnt like what you say or cant get his own way-which i find true- but on the whole he is a decent bloke- and its a shame it all ended up like this after such a long time together....
Anyway i'm rambling again!
but thought i will try and keep this journal/blog going this time even if i dont or do have a lot to say...
In myself am feeling really unfit since not getting to the gym and as well as not being overly carefull with what i shove into my mouth :D
I weigh myself every morning(know i shouldnt) but i like to keep a check on things and if the odd pounds creep back on i can try and cut back at least...hence why i hovver at the mo between a few lbs over and under 12st :)
Tomorrow i have a kid free day as their Dad is coming round to take them out for the day to drayton manor theme park :D
Anyway thats about it from me for today,not very exciting but hey-ho :D

Well, its been a while since my first 'proper' post LOL
But anyway,things hadnt gone to plan as i expected,theres been alot going on between me and my hubby, seems more like he wants his cake and eat it!
Basically its ok for him to walk out and go off living with someone else , but its not ok for me having met someone...
Theres been a lot of rows and hes trying to make me feel guilty....
Its all very complicated and i have now filed for divorce........
And its worse having one of my sons being a real daddys boy telling his dad all what im doing but not vice versa,and my son is really being a pain in the butt at the mo,with his attitude towards me and his agressiveness,he is one very strongwilled lad and doesnt like being told 'no' to anything.
His attitude was bad enough before the split but its much worse now...
my other 2 kids seem fine and seem to have accepted their dad is not coming back to live here and has a girlfriend...and ive just got to try and make the best for them and myself in this situation.
think things will get worse before they get better...
As for my plans of giving up smoking and getting us all on track for losing weight ..well... im going to try again- with all the upsets etc it has been difficult ...but got to try and keep at things and do things for me as well as the kids if i can.
SO, my plan is to try and get things sorted for when they are all back at school, with the diets etc- i really need to do something esp for my 2 youngest -i cant have them putting on any more weight :(
But its difficult when they keep on about wanting more food not long after having their meals!
And with each of them being fussy in what they will or wont eat...
As for myself i keep hovering between 11st 8 and 12 st 4 ,wanting to try and get down and lose that last stone and half or two.
Havent been able to get to the gym during the school summer hols either which doesnt help!
So Beginning of Sept it will be...
One thing i am doing for myself at the mo- and something i have wanted to do since i was 17 too is take a motorcycle test...so tomorrow weds am starting off in doing my motorcycle theory test-yikes! Then after that will be to learn to ride and take the practical.
Then next yr i want to get on a personal trainer course or similar at the regional college a few miles away.
but to do the latter still needs me to lose that last bit of weight and give up smoking...as i wont feel at all ready otherwise!
Its helping having something else to think about i think as well as the daily stuff and the kids and my situation, sort of numbs the mind abit from real life if you know what i mean...
And this new fella i'm seeing is really nice and in a sense is softening the blow to things as well, the kids like him too , and hes been coming to stay with me at weekends here, driving 3 hrs from where he lives to see me each time, the trouble with meeting someone on the net i suppose..
But i dont know theres so much going on in my head at times dont know wether im coming or going!
But im sure things will work out in the end for me and the kids.
Anyway hope you made sense of it all, not sure wether i have LOL!
But i WILL try and keep this blog going THIS time!
I need to keep a record of things in my life as well as my diet somewhere, then can look back and see how i have or have not done!
But thanks for your messages from the last blog entry, they were appreciated:)
Well, better get off to bed i think!
P.S can someone tell me how you post those animated pics in 'the wall' or in a blog message?- tried earlier but couldnt get it to work :(
Thanks all :)
pps added a recent pic, well in july, of me and my daughter in my gallery :)

OK,so much has happened to me since Easter its unreal!
Its a long story but...
My husband has left me for someone else and am now a single mum of 3...although me and the ex are at least trying to be amicable now...and also i have met someone else too now (on the internet) although he lives about 3 hrs drive away :)
Such a shame though, the way things have gone,had been with my hubby for nearly 24 yrs....ah well...such is life.... just need to move on in the best way and make sure the kids are ok too.
Anyway... Diet-wise.... i joined ivillage SW was it 2 or 3 yrs ago?- can't remember now ...but i started off at 16st 13lb (am 5ft 5 or 6) and been on and off SW since then and am now at 11st 12 lb, needing to shed the last 1st and a half if i can!
Everyone on IV SW had been extremely helpful to me in the past and really helped me get to where i am now, although for the past year i havent been very active on the board ...what with Real life and other things ... i just seemed to lose interest in being as active on the board although i would pop in on occasion and had made some good online friends too :)
Anyhow , today, i decided to throw out (and give to my friend up the road) the un healthy un SW food contents of my freezer and cupboards :D
In a last minute bid to finally reach my target weight, and also to help 2 of my children to lose some weight too- i tried in the past to do this but quickly lost faith and gave up- but not this time!
My 10 yr old son weighs 10st (the weight i would like to be!)...and my 7 yr old daughter weighs 7st 4 ...and my 12 yr old son the slimmest of us all LOL- weighs 6st 12 !!
ALSO, in one of my mad moments of thought.... i said to my son who knows how much i really want to give up smoking too...that after this last pack of cigarettes i would give up and as long as he tries to help me help him lose weight, if he sees me smoking one cigarette at all, i would give him £100 !!!(in V long installments of course :D)
What ever possessed me to say that !!! :-S LOL
SO, that is what's happening at the mo, me and the kids are on the SW plan as from today and i have wrote down all what we are eating too..to keep check :)
I will be weighing us all every monday morning to keep a check on progress.
Also i still have my dream of training to become a Personal Trainer at the tender age of 40 or 40 + if it materialises :D LOL
I also entered the race for life which i am supposed to have been doing on the 24th June, but i am not going to now as since a lot of things have happened to me snce i entered i am no where near ready for it and i wanted to run it, and seeing as i havent trained enough i am not going now - dont want to walk it either - i did the moonwalk last year and i wanted to run this year, so now have decided to get my act together and try not to let anything get in my way and enter another thing somewhen else when i know i will be able to run it ...maybe a 10k somewhere later?
SO, that is another thing i am trying to do get into running gradually ,i have some training programmes to follow ...just want to get these last cigarettes out the way , be firmly on plan with SW and i shall be away ....well, that the plan :D !!
As i have said many a time inthe past lol, i will try and keep a diary(blog) going regularly ...need to make more of an effort this time :D
So thats more or less it fro the mo!
Had a good day today me and the kids...did a green day and had weetabix for brekkie, pasta for lunch and scrambled egg on toast for tea along with a load of fruit :)
Will post my day and diet tomorrow in more detail so i can keep a better track :)
