Where has the week gone!

Well it is already Wednesday and I have not completed my challenge for this week, most weeks it is completed by today or only needing a few touches. I think I spent almost 2 days glued to the computer waiting and wondering whether we made it through to the next round and what this weeks challenge was....YAH finally we knew something by late yesterday afternoon, so you know me I've been thinking and planning since that moment.
So today I went and had my photo printed and sorted my PP's and my title and it is sort of coming together! Still needs alot of work but its a start!
Unfortunately we had to say good-bye to Leone and Miranda this week :( I was quite sad about this as I have formed an online friendship with Leone and thought she would last longer than ME! But hopefully she will be able to work her way back in the game somehow because she does beautiful layouts and deserves to be still in.. But as they say this is a game and anything can happen!
Well since I completed my last weeks challenge I have been able to work on my CJ, I have joined a lovely bunch of talented friends and we are doing a CJ. This is my first ever one, I am nervous but excited and cant wait to receive my first one and get started. I used a Maya Road Chipboard album and pulled it apart, added a few extra pages and rings to keep it together. I have completed my front and back cover, Welcome pages and sign in pages, and I am so happy with how it is looking! I have spent hours sewing and getting it just perfect... Might upload the pages later when I have finished my actual own page.
So I got more time creating and not being on the computer much, as SBC site has been down now 1 whole week. Can you believe it, those poor girls must be so stressed about it. Alot of the regulars are going stir crazy but at least we have had the blog to do a little communicating!
Nothing much happening in our household, this week has been quite quiet thank goodness. My brother has been very sick and has had alot of tests since Christmas and had to have chemo for 6 weeks but this week he went back to the hospital and things are no better! No more Chemo and they said their is nothing much more they can do for him. He has come to terms with this as he has known it would be on the cards. I just don't know what to say to him sometimes, what can you say really? But I told him I love him and to stay strong and to focus on making every moment count!
I have been going strong with my health kick, I still cant believe how focused I have been. I cook my family meals and than I cook mine separately, I have been having a grilled piece of steak, fish or chicken and vegetables (I hardly ever ate vegetables before) or salad. While they are having lasagna and roast lamb with all the trimmings which I am NOT allowed. But I have managed to do it, I have not had nothing that I should not and definitely NO chocolate, biscuits or sweets - it is killing ME. But I am determined to lose weight! The thing I think I am missing the most would be KFC, yes girls you made me say that!
Have a good week everyone will post my layout when it is completed...

Awww thanks, that's really sweet. I'll play just as hard now on the "Others" team (just with a bit less pressure!).

So sorry to hear about your brother - I lost my sister to cancer in 1993. There isn't much you can say to him, but I suppose you can sit and listen (as I know I did with my sister) and offer whatever support they are needing.

Brenda - so sorry that your brother is going through such bad health.

Good luck with your health kick - glad you are going so well. It will all be worth it - you will feel so healthy!

Sorry to hear about your brother Brenda - some tough times ahead!
Stick to that diet - I didn't this last week and I feel worse about that than I did when I was denying myself the goodies!! I hope you see your earned rewards when you weigh in!

Sorry to read about your brother Brenda, life can be so cruel sometimes.

Good on you for sticking to your healthy eating. You know, after a few weeks you won't miss that KFC at all. Hang in there. any chance you can convince your family to eat the same as you??? It makes life a lot easier
