Time to outline THE PLAN!! Well the combination of my gain while in Europe in July (which didn't disappear) and eating all that good wholesome warming comfort food in the cold wintry wilds of Scotland means that I need to lose about 7kgs to feel kind of right again. Truth be told a few kgs more wouldn't go astray but first of all I need to address the magnificent seven! I've been sort of following Pro Points but haven't really got right into it so decided I needed to hit my pocket - that usually works for me! - and so I've joined up to WW At Home and I'm currently awaiting the arrival of my 'kit'. I feel it will be good for me and help me 'bed down' the PP system. I've been counting and weighing all this week - and managed to lose 400g which is really ?iss weak as if I laid off the alcohol I'd be so much further in front. But as you all know I need to be in a certain frame of mind to do that - I'm working towards it!!
Anyway back at work - had my usual week of absolute fatigue - I can travel east to west with no jetlag but west to east gets me every time and it doesn't seem to matter what I do/don't do I still take the best part of a week to get my clock realigned. But I think I'm back in sync now. Work is still crazy busy and being the control freak that I am I was feeling a tad overwhelmed trying to pick up all the loose ends and get everything back on track. Today is Australia Day here and a public holiday but Bloss was working as his project contractors were working today and taking Friday off so I chose to work too. What a fantabulous day - no emails, phone calls or visitors and instead I caught up on all those ugly things which were hanging around on my task list. In reality working a public holiday allows you to get through the equivalent of two days normal work. So feeling so so much better tonight. And of course that's another day in the bank for the upcoming holidays!
The delightful Miss A gave me this award - thank you lovely lady! Now since I'm a bit 'time poor' at the moment I'm going to answer the questions and invite any of you who are interested to participate - the conditions say I should nominte 15 bloggers - and to be honest I don't think I've got that many regular followers right now. But I can say with hand on heart that everyone of you who ARE following at the moment are without doubt deserving of this award and are most certainly Stylish Bloggers
So revealing 7 things about myself (difficult since I've done a few of these over the years and you probably all know all about me already)

- I'm a bit of a techno geek - guess that's quite unusual for a 55 year old granny - but I love finding out about new gadgets/technology. Just sent off my 'virgin' Twitter today on my new Iphone
- I'm very much a surface tidier - the house might look spotless - but jeez be careful opening the cupboards
- I have a wall of my office covered in watercolour prints of places I've travelled to - gets lots of comments from visitors - I tell them it reminds me why I'm here ...... so I can go there (or somewhere like it)
- I have so many clothes they take up 3 wardrobes - but I very seldom pay full price for anything - I'm happy to wait till the end of season and buy at 50 or 70 per cent off - just look for classics.
- It's taken me 3 years to grow my hair to the current length and after having short hair for the first 50 odd years of my life, I don't think I'll ever go short again. I may vary the style but it won't be short!
- My favourite colours are probably red, black and white - only have to look at the way I'm currently decorating our home to realise that.
- And for years had lots of bits around me but after we did some renovations a few years back I've become quite minimalist - hardly any bric a brac, little ornaments etc around the place. I'm liking the 'lean' look.

| The clock in our lounge room was rather dated and quite tatty and I saw this magnificent specimen in a gift shop the day before I left Scotland - cost rather a lot as it's a hand made design of glass - but it looks fabulous in our lounge. |

| Now we all know I've a bit of a shoe fetish - aren't these gorgeous! I brought them and the two pairs below back with me |
 |
| These are so sexy but also so comfortable to wear |
 |
| And here we have the chain gang! think they might drive me nuts as the chains clank as you walk! |
 |
| We all went out for tea for Grant's birthday on Sunday night. Tiff had her 30th a week or so ago - may have mentioned that they went to Hawaii to celebrate. Anyway what can you get someone who's called Tiffany for her 30th - of course some Tiffany Jewellery - she loved the heart and chain I got her and vows she's not taking it off! |

| Josh - off to Grade 5 in the morning |

| And the birthday boy himself - can't quite believe (or don't want to) that I have a son of 32! |
All right peeps -I didn't really mean this to be such a long post but I guess I'm all up to date now. Hope all is well in all of your worlds - I WILL try and comment a bit more.
Love Zxx

*drool*
I'm sure you will do well with the WW Pro Points, I'm doing WW again too.
My eldest is 32 as well!
As usual I'm envious that you say to yourself "right, I've put on a few kilos, I'm now going to take them off"... So actually you're never out of control. Impressive stuff. I liked the obscure facts about yourself too, and the charming pics.
