There's a lot more of me now

How come the less I eat, the bigger I get?
It's true. I weigh and measure, chew and savour. Makes no difference, I just pile on the pounds. Now it must be to do with getting older, because I used to be able to consume vast quantities of food and never put on an ounce. Except for when I was pregnant that is. Wow! Then I ballooned by four stone. But I don't have that excuse now.
No way.
I can run, zumba, dance aerobic until I'm blue in the face. I'm getting bigger and bigger.
Must be my thyroid.
That's my excuse anyway.

Welcome back, middle aged diva

Me again.
I know. I buggered off sometime in October and just decided to show my face when all the difficult stuff's done with.
Now, I know we had a November, but I can't for the life of me remember what I did with it. There are vague memories of...oh, not very much really.
Christmas blogging was abandoned due to being pickled for much of the time. That, and dealing with the in-laws, grown up children and twenty odd members of my family drunkenly descending on us took care of most of what was left of December.
And so to January. Where does the time go?
So, what's been happening? Mmm. Let me think.
Not a lot.
Number two son did a spell of elving over Christmas. Apparently he's good at it. He always did have a penchant for green tights, even as a seven year old, he would dress up as some green clad Zelda character at the drop of a hat.
Number four son posted some incriminating stuff to do with his brother on you tube.
They are speaking again now. So that's good.
Number three had a bill from Singapore Uni to do with course fees. Odd...he has never been on a course with Singapore Uni. Oh well.
And what about me? What have I done?
Not a lot.
The house is quiet, eerily calm, now the invading hordes have returned to their own caves. The old fella is back in his routine of  up, food, work, food, television, food, bed snorezzzzzzzzzz and I'm rattling round nicely thank you.
