    It was a funny day back really, just staff and6th form, and we spent half the day shovelling the snow and ice so that the school can reopen tomorrow to all the kids. I did spin on the ice in the car on the way there which was scary, luckily I'd already dropped ds at school or he would have freaked out :o

    We're watching too - I can't beleive the attitudes of some of the parents - mainly that one who said her daughter can eat whatever she wants, she looks better fat....cuddly:confused:
    And the grandad ccoking for the boys - 'he doesn't eat that much' and 'it's not high in fat'.....!!!!!!??! Did you see the cheese sauce AND cheese slices on the top!!!???

    OMG....she's 8 1/2 stone?!?!?! Not much less than me:eek:

    Its still on, its about obese children, one of those ones where they follow them through a series. One kid, Libby, has a realistic Mum who is trying to get her more active etc, the rest have parents who are letting their kids get obese, its scary stuff :o:o

    Ahhhh.... I'm glad I'm watching Hells Kitchen USA then. I get so cross at things like that!! Really does my nut in. I'm a bit extreme in the opposite direction though. I don't like chocolate or cakes or rich foods or anything. I'd rather have an apple or a carrot. No wonder I'm tiny then I guess. :rotfl:
