We had no plans for today but it ended up being a really busy day... Anthony didn't get up until 10.15am and then decided we were going to see his Dad. We got there just as his step-mum was leaving to go shopping at Asda so I went with her to get a few bits.. We had to leave at 12.30 though because my Nan was coming to collect Anthony so he could go and fix her friends clock.. As we opened our front door though the phone was ringing. It was my Mum ringing to say that my Aunt & Uncle were at my Nan's and she was on her way to come get us so we could see them. We didn't even get a chance to get our coats off before we were off again! Whilst we were there Anthony & my Nan went to her friends house and James & I hung out with my Mum..

We got home in time for James' dinner and then set about setting the new computer up in the Living Room.. We're using an old desk at the moment but we're getting a new one for Christmas. Anthony is still working on the computer now and James has just gone to bed..

Talking of James. He was well behaved today but after we got home he was so tired he had a complete melt-down.. I knew it was because he was so tired.. Doesn't make it any easier to cope with though!

Now I'm knackered! I plan on doing nothing for the rest of the evening apart from watching tv :)

James & I went shopping with a friend of mine this morning. We came home early though because I hadn't eaten anything all day and I was starting to feel the effects from it. Now most normal people would just buy something and eat it there but I can't eat out in public.. Just another awesome side effect from my phobia..

Whilst i'm on the subject of eating, yesterday I discovered a Chicken & Veg Cup of Soup and had one today when I got back. It tasted delicious and because I can drink it out of a cup I can trick myself into thinking it's not food!

*******For the few new people on my friends list, I suffer from Emetaphobia which is a fear of vomiting. Because of this I find it hard to eat. People look at me and automatically assume I'm anorexic because I'm underweight but I assure you that is not the case. I'm on a mission to gain weight and in the past 10 months I've managed to gain a stone in weight.********

I've done my next weeks meal plan. I was meant to go food shopping whilst out this morning but because I had to come home I've now going to have to go tomorrow. Somehow I'm going to have to stretch £30 to do a weeks shopping.. Not sure how that's going to work! I've already got some of the ingredients I need so I guess that helps.. One day I would love not to have to be worried about money and count every penny!

I'm going to touch wood as I say this and cross every part of my body that can possibly be crossed....

JAMES IS OFFICIALLY POTTY TRAINED!!!!

Not only that but he uses the toilet upstairs.. When we first started potty training we kept the potty in the living room because we don't have a toilet down stairs and I didn't fancy running upstairs with a kid every 5 minutes and I knew 9 times out of 10 he'd never make it.. Well, now he can hold it long enough to come and tell me that he needs the toilet and for us to get upstairs.. I cannot believe that he's potty trained before he's 2 and a half.. I'm totally expecting that we'll still have some accidents and little blips along the way but I'm so proud of my (not-so) little man :)

I can't even begin to describe the way I feel about this kid! He drives me batty sometimes and has me at breaking point most days but then he does something extra cute or comes out with a funny statement and my heart melts... Being a Mum has to be one of the best things I ever chose to do :)

I've had a stinking headache all day. I don't suffer from them a lot but when I do, I know about it :(

Still have no Internet at home.. It totally sucks! I feel so out of the loop. Hopefully the problem will be sorted soon!

This week has been so busy.. Actually the past two weeks have been manic. I feel like a yo-yo.. It's good though but with mummy/toddler groups, new friends, swimming lessons and the day to day of daily life I haven't had 2 minutes to myself! We don't have any plans for tomorrow, which I am so looking forward to because next week is another busy one!

My sisters wedding is two weeks away!! I can't believe it's come around so fast and that in 13 days I will be walking down the aisle as her maid of honour.. My little sister is all grown up lol.. :) James has a 3 piece suit for the wedding! I'm going to be taking so many photos of him :)

Talking of James, he came over to Anthony this morning and said, "Daddy, can I have some money?" Anthony laughed and asked him how much he wanted.. James replied.. "A hundred million pounds please.." Where does he learn this stuff lol...

My Internet is still all screwed up.. This is the 1st time I've been able to get online since the last time I updated.

Anthony has been at work all week.. He hates his new job and wants to start looking for another one. He hates that he is only seeing James for about 30 minutes a day. It's a massive adjustment for him..

In my mission to make friends I've spent all week going to Mummy & Toddler groups. I'm meeting a mum next week that I met through Netmum's.. I hope she's nice!

James' swimming lessons start next Monday!! I'm excited for him :) earlier this week I went and checked out a nursery for James. I found a great one and starting next month he is going to go on a Tuesday morning for 3 hours. I want him to socialise with other kids more and being an only child he doesn't get much opportunity to do that and plus I can use those 3 hours to do my Coursework. I'm nervous to let him go somewhere without me but it's only one morning a week so it's not too bad :)

I'm going to try and check my friends pages but I'm not too sure how long this Internet connection is going to last so bear with me!

So what am I on now? Day 3 of being stuck in bed? Day 4? I've completely lost track of all my days. At the moment they consist of lying in bed, feeling like poop, coughing, sneezing, venturing downstairs, being told to get back into bed.. Rinse & repeat..

I have a feeling that throughout this week I've lost some weight. Not intentionally but when i'm ill I don't want to eat. It's weight-in day tomorrow so I guess i'll find out then.

Tomorrow is my sisters Bridesmaids lunch. I'm going to have to drag myself there because if I cancel on her then she'll go crazy so flu or no flu, I have to go..

I want to shower, wash & straighten my hair, clean my house, do the laundry, change our bedding but I don't even have the energy to go to the toilet lol.. I'm hoping no one comes to visit until I'm better and I've got the house straight again. It looks like a tornado came to visit..
