    Wine twice this month is very good cath :T Some people find it easier to drink in summer, I've always found a big glass of red more tempting on a cold winters evening. Keep posting your good habits please, I'm hoping your success may rub off on me :D

    I get those visitors ATB!

    You need some extra rest at the moment Helen. So nice not getting up with the alarm though isn't it.

    Am surprised I'm still awake! I am at risk of falling asleep mid post.

    Not a bad old day, work was productive and I felt organised, £50 amazon voucher code finally arrived! DH has topped up the oil in my car, it's misbehaving a little so will get battery checked at weekend before we go away. Interesting dinner to use up ingredients, chicken legs with a mix ofnoodles, onions and peas and some kind of sauce. Only problem of a store cupboard challenge is seeing the cupboards need cleaning! :eek:

    Spent some time after work with dd painting our nails, she is not girly at all so this was a new thing! Also involved a hot chocolate for dd :) shopping list done ready for cp, have asked DH to stick to the list! I haven't even begun to think about what we need to take with us!

    Really am ready for the weekend, hoping the weekend will be a lovely mix of walks, packing and memory making. Re: cp, I think I am more excited than the children!

    Thats pretty impressive Helen being same size as a teenager!

    Well I am now tired amd grumpy which is not good. Fallen out with DH over 2 things not worth arguing about :( we never fall out so am feeling quite sad about it. Just wish I'd felt annoyed but not told him! I think we are both exhausted and aware we have lots to do.

    However, the to do list needs to get done

    1. Go to Mr S for few items amd look for clothes for children at 25% off
    2. Pay cheque into bank
    3. Get car battery tested
    4. Check car tyres
    5. Hoover car (both if possible)
    6. Children's swimming lessons
    7. Do something hallowe'en related Saturday
    8. Buy facepaints
    9. Clean house so ready for any potential viewers
    10. Make list of what we need for cp
    11. Pack for cp
