    The race was pretty exciting. I was gutted that Vettel went out!! :(:(:(:( And more annoyed that idiot head won!!!

    It was such a shame that JB couldnt stay infront!!! That would have made me laugh a LOT!!!! Hamilton's bird is almost as annoying as he is! lol

    Other than that there were a few overtakes etc. I do like the turkey track actually. Always provides a good race!!!

    Morning Moose! We went to woolacombe on the coast and had our picnic in view of the sea. Then we went back to my mums and went to the village fair with my siblings.

    Right had a good day yesterday. Spent £11 at the fair on the kids which wasnt too drastic. That included a go for both kids on huge inflatable slide things, ice creams for 4 of us and a go on another ball throwing game for both girls in which they got a prize if they lost.

    Also managed to type up my list of places to go in excel with prices etc. I have 3 columns - Great weather, OK Weather and Bad Weather. I think there are about 50 activities and days out on there ranging from puzzles at home to camping trips to Woodlands adventure park. At least we shouldn't struggle for ideas.

    WI this morning and i have lost 2lb! :j:j:j Though yesterday i did half hour on cross trainer, half hour on my fitness coach and went for an hour long bike ride! So pretty pleased with that

    I want to sit down and decide what my goals are with exercise for the week. I used to be quite restricting and have set days for each thing but i didn't like that. I think now i will decide how much i target to do an activity in a week and do it whenever.

    Right kids are whinging for breakfast!!! Oh and i haven't been on the cross trainer yet!!

    Boooo to going back to work tomorrow!!:mad: These 4 days off have flown by!!!

    You sounds super organised on the days out, your little ones are going to have a fantastic summer! I think I need to take a leaf out of your book and start thinking about some days out. At the moment I have only booked Lauren's birthday off (5th August) so far so need to sit down and decide what days to take off :)

    Yay on the WI :j, you are doing really well :T

    And I think that £11 for yesterday was a bargain, especially if you all had fun :D

    well shouldn't spend too much today as it is peeing down with rain. Maybe go swimming if not just let the kids play at home or do some baking.

    Jody - Thanks, I am going to try to really make an effort with the kids this year. We get out quite a lot anyway but i think we should do even more as we haven't got a holiday this year! I hope you manage to arrange some days out :D

    Right these are my exercise goals - minimum for each week

    Cross trainer - 1 hr 20 mins. (a comfy average of 4 mornings at 20 mins)
    Swimming - 40 mins
    Cycling - 1 hr
    Walking 1 hour (inc walks to work)
    Wii Fit 40 mins
    My fitness coach (boxing) 1 hr

    Only Cycling is a problem with bad weather. I am quite happy to walk in the rain!!!

    So in light of this i got up and did an hour on the cross trainer!!! OMG i think i may just collapse!! Had no balance on my feet when i got off it!!!

    I also did half an hour yesterday so i am past my cross trainer goal this week. I have done an hour on the bike so that goal is met and i have done half my time on the boxing!!

    And it's only tuesday. If i get the other half hour boxing done tonight then the rest of the week is then bonus exercise!!!

  • Well done on the weight loss! I managed 15 minutes on my stepper this morning - need to do alot more to get my 2lbs off this week.

    I'm making notes for the future for what to do with the baby when she's bigger - thank you:D
