    Yep, at that age it can be called ballet, but it's really about improving coordination I suppose :) I hope she enjoys it.

    We bought a yogurt maker about 3 years ago. We probably don't use it as cost effectively as we could, as we buy the yogurt sachets. But we buy in bulk, and and the cost per pot is a bit lower than it would be in Sainsburys (but probably not as low as Aldi). However, we just like the yogurt that we make, so it was a good buy for us.

    Looking forward to your yogurt maker review, I eat loads of yogurt and have often been tempted to get one.
    You're going great guns with your exercise. I need to get out for a run tomorrow a mixture of rain and laziness scuppered my plans for today :o!

    I need to get back out as well, have been running on a treadmill during the poor weather and as you'll know, it's very different! Much easier to push yourself to go to an air conditioned gym than a muddy park! :)
