I was craving something sweet today and was tempted by DS1's cookie crisp cereal (the only sweet thing in the house) but I resisted and had a banana instead :T.

I'm not sure what impresses me more, your restraint or the fact that's the only sweet thing in the house!

Going away will probably do me good because I feel a bit run down and there's not much housework to do at my dad's house as he and my stepmum are very tidy. I offer to help but nothing needs doing half the time :rotfl:. It makes a change from cleaning up after four people.

Sounds like a wonderful and much-needed time out from the daily routine. How do people manage to be so on top of everything that it appears nothing needs doing, whereas the rest of us are continually 'fire-fighting' ? I have a sneaking suspicion that such people don't have as much 'stuff' to curate - de-cluttering is the watchword.

Have a great time, HHOD !

Hi there

Thought this was the best place to say I am alive and in Spain. I have been here for a week now and it is a tough life!! I have swam a couple of times a day as the pool is about ten steps from my friend's villa.

I have been out and about too although I have just been relaxing and sleeping a lot. It is marvellous to sleep! Eating lots of salads and fruit.

What I hadn't expected was the fact that being housebound for the last six months has meant I have no energy to move. As I have done little exercise, I need to build up my strength. Little and often.

So HH, enjoy your escape and have a relaxing time.

Lots of love to everyone, take care

Unfortunately I sucumbed today . DH is diabetic, I'm trying to lose my spare tyre and the DC are old enough to buy their own chocolate/biscuits :rotfl:. It does help to remove temptation.
