    Well, first job done - have a lie in! :D didn't get up til 11 :D

    Not much planned today - the weather is gorgeous so I'm hoping to sit out for a bit :) planning on having a healthy-ish fried breakfast for lunch (but with a poached egg) which, according to myfitnesspal is 398 cals! :j I'm sat here drinking some freshly brewed coffee and enjoying pottering around whilst DH is at work.

    That said, I do need to go food shopping at some point today, as we don't have much food in... nothing for tea anyway! :eek: so that means I need to do a menu plan for the next week and see what we have in already that can go towards meals.

    Also, I've lost a lb this week! :j Not much, but going in the right direction! After some of the rubbish I've eaten this week, I'm a bit surprised, but not complaining!

    Ah, happy hols :D

  • Just realised I'm going to have to venture out too ..... DM wants me to bring eggs when I visit tomorrow (I have a fab farm shop just up the road where you can see the chooks wandering outside enjoying the sun - and the eggs taste sooooooo much better than sm ones:)).

    Need to take Maisie out at some point anyway - will be a short, lead only walk as she's still not 100% (think she may have pulled a muscle the other night as she was pelting around like a loon).

    F1 qualifying about to start tho' so it'll have to be later on:) - I'm really cold for some reason (lovely & sunny outside) and just realised my feet are like ice blocks so must go & find some extra socks to put on (have on around 4 pairs in the winter:o)

    Glad you enjoyed your lie in :) *sigh* what are they again!:rotfl:

    So, I did the food shopping yesterday so I don't intend to go anywhere today :) DH wants to watch the cycling, so I'll just potter around at home and not do much :p

    The sun's gone in here :(
