    All inclusive holidays are a godsend when you have kids. They can have as many drinks/ice creams/chips as they like. Soft drinks are so expensive abroad. Happy days :)

    Evening Diary,

    Had about 3 minutes sleep last night with the high winds again :mad:, felt shattered at work this afternoon, came home and talked myself out of the gym, ate 3 maryland cookies and then changed my class to an earlier one :rotfl:. Glad I went in the end.

    Thanks HHOD, Pennywise, PLMBL, ES and SA for your kind comments :D. We go in August. The kids are going to love just being able to eat whatever they want and I reckon I need to lose 2 stones just to put 1 back on :rotfl:. When we went to Majorca the other year we were half board and still spent €1000! Last couple of years weve gone to France self catering and hardly spent anything so fingers crossed for low spends!

    Food:
    Breakfast - porridge with nutella and banana
    Lunch - nannas magic soup, wholemeal roll, grapes and yoghurt
    Tea - Hassleback chicken with pesto, basil, tomato and mozzarella, roasted new potatoes and peas
    Snacks - quavers and 4 cookies :o
    Gym - spinning

    Positives:
    * went to the gym even though I didn't want to!
    * NSD12/12 :j

    So I will set my NSD's for February for 8 as DD has a couple of competitions, its half term and theres less days!

    Hope all ok xx
