Still Here, sort of........

Evening all

I am coming back.  Things are just very disorganised.  I think I have lost half of my possessions, they are in the house...... somewhere!

I just thought I would share last weekend.  Hubby won a weekend away through work to Silverstone.  Lots of drinking, not much eating, new friends and great weather.

The first night we all met up in the hotel and had the meal there.  I had crayfish and chorizo starter, sounds nice but sadly did not live up to expectations:

 

For the main I had duck with veg and taglatelli.  Obviously I didn't eat the taglatelli.  Yes, I know its spelt wrong.

 

Again, not really that impressed with it especially as the duck was very tough.

 

The breakfasts, on the other hand, were outstanding.  luckily I filled up on them as food on the second day was none existent!  :O

 

This is the chandelier in the hotel reception, very posh, and again the rest of the hotel didn't really live up to it, we were actually disappointed with our rooms, they were normal but if I was paying £200 a night, normal just wouldn't cut it!!!!

 

This was parked next to hotel though.  Shame we didn't get a ride.

This is the field that we had to walk through to get to Silverstone, the other side of the field, we then had to climb a fence.  We climbed a different one on the way back!!!!  I was wearing my high wedges so that was fun! lol

 

It was an excellent weekend and I loved meeting some of the other wives and we really hit it off so am pleased we went. 

 

I will be posting or trying to post more in next few weeks and when kids go back to school I will be back properly, I think I have lost weight (will gain in next few weeks though) but as no scales I cant be sure.  I did look stunning in my size 12 dress though ;-)

 

See you soon

Just Checking In

Evening all

So the builders have finished.  3.5 long weeks.  Am missing the banter ;-)

But this leaves me with so much to do.  The plan was painting all week, but as I have the kids sports days in the afternoon I think tomorrow will be ironing (a weekend of sun and 10, yes 10 loads of washing later I have a huge pile or 2).

Anyhoo, I weighed this morning after 3.5 weeks of not evening finding the scales, I have lost 5lbs :o go me! :-D

So that has spurned me on and I am planning an hour of brisk walking tomorrow, we will see.....

Hope you all enjoyed the sun and didn't are not bright red like me.

I'll Be Back

Evening all

Things are ridiculously dirty, disorganised and totally chaotic here.  We have lost internet due to broken cable, we have been without water and electric.

So, I will be back in a few days when things have calmed down and I can find the charger for my laptop!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Again with the Fecking TV

Evening all or should that be night???

I am really getting fed up of having the tv in the bedroom.  When I bought my first house many many years ago I had a tv in the bedroom.  Part of this reason was because I wanted lodgers so I wanted to escape to my room and watch what I wanted if they were watching something else.  That was fine, rarely used.  But now hubby keeps putting the tv on, but its ok for him as he gets a 2 hour nap in the evening plus he gets up later than me so he is fine.  I, however, cant nap as I wont sleep at night and will feel even worse!  Might have to take the fuse out of the plug..... lol

B - crispbread with lots of butter on
L - piri piri chicken with salad and cheese
T - weight watchers sausages and salad (did not like these too much so wont be buying again)

Drinks - lots of cups of tea

Joints - ok

Asthma - ok but can feel my chest getting tight from all the dust from today

House is still chaotic.  Problems are causing delays (electrics) and my moans about tiles not being straight are probably not helping but if I am not happy then I am going to say something.  Tomorrows moans are the tile I told them about today is still not straight and the brand new bath tap is dripping!  Bet they will be glad when this job is over!!! lol

Not Quite An Early Night...

Evening all

I didn't get my early night last night as we watched a film.  And then hubby decided to watch tv in bed.  I do not like the tv in the bedroom as when I want to sleep, he wants the tv on!  Ah well, maybe today I will get an early night.  I can but hope.

B - crisp bread with cottage cheese on
L - cottage cheese and salad, not much as I didn't get home until late
T - pork with salad

Drinks - not much again as I was out all day but have had a few cups of tea

Asthma - ok but am now worried about tonight as plastering was done today

Joints - ok

I got lucky today.  Picked up 6 packs of cheese for £1.15 each whoopsied and they went through the till BOGOF.  Was well chuffed, I went back and got more, got some for my mate who I then found in the shop to give to and told the ladies by the whoopsies that the cheese was BOGOF so they cleared the shelf!!!!  :D  Will be making cheese straws for the kids for the weekend :D

Have a good evening

Why Am I So Tired??????????

Evening all

I had an early night last night, in bed by 10.30pm and asleep soon after.  I did wake up a few times in the night but I don't think I was awake for long and then woke up at 6.50am.  But I am really tired now and I don't know why.  Another early night, must try to stay awake until then otherwise I don't sleep tonight.

B - half a small melon and then a mouthful of cottage cheese an hour later as I was hungry
L - leftover pork and cottage cheese with salad
T - piri piri chicken with salad

Drinks - tea

Asthma - ok today

Joints - ok

Still living in a building site, new tiles look good in bathroom though so am pleased with that.  :D

Ooooppppssssss Forgot to Set Alarm!

Evening all

No exercise today as I forgot to set my alarm last night.  Although I am quite relieved as I feel like I needed that extra 30 minutes.  I have been rushing around shopping though! lol

B - crisp bread with butter on
L - leftover pork and salad
T - Chinese pork chops with salad

Drinks - a few cups of tea and pint water

Asthma - ok today, probably because I have been out all day

Joints - ok

Got tiles in the bathroom now, not all of them but tomorrow they should be finished tiling.  :D  House still a state though :(

Got 2 melons today for 20p each.  They are small so I think 1/2 of one will be breakfast tomorrow.  Make a nice change from crisp bread.

Wonder if I will get up tomorrow. :D
