    Oh, also spent £35 in sainos on todds b'day cake and a few other bits and pieces. He wanted a backyardigans cake but i couldn't find one so have bought a plain one and some green icing (for grass), sugar flowers and backyardigans figurines. Hope it goes ok! I 'm not renowned for my cake skills. The last time I tried with a b day cake was cobys first brithday and I tried to be supermum and make a castle cake. It fell to pieces (literally) in front of all our family and friends. I burst into tears and then MIL whipped a perfect cake out of the fridge. No faith in me at all!! (Must know me well!)

    I'm a football widow too - love it though as it gives me space to chill out and like you say watch the things they moan and groan about all the time!

    Well done you on the old dvd again - see we are all stepping it up. As for food I haven't been that great either...

    Breakfast - bowl of coco pops (A's!!)
    Lunch - A took me out to pub and had garlic mushrooms & cheese linguine.
    Dinner - small (very) wholewheat pasta with fresh tomato and tuna.

    Too much on the old carbs I know - need to work on it. Just love the stodge though :-(

    Off work now until Tuesday - woo hoo!! Nan's funeral tom, not so nice. Then have long bank holiday weekend :-)

    Good luck with the figures tomorrow Roxie xx

    Boy am I glad that today is nearly over. It's been a tough one to say the least. Needless to say that diet and exercise have not been on the agenda.

    Well done on just the one glass Roxie!! Hope today proved less hectic than you thought.

    Hope everyone is well xx

    Family have just left. Was nice to see them thou - D's mum and dad left first and then I cracked open the vino and had a glass with SIL nic and `D and his bro had a beer. Was nice to catch up with them. They're really lovely.

    Manic day and a manic couple of days coming as am going on the trip with todd but also have to shop for his party, decorate his cake etc. The boys will be shattered tomo too as they didnt go to bed till after nine.

    4 years ago my waters hadn't broke yet. i was blissfully unaware of the events the morning would bring!

    Happy 4 th birthday baby todd for tomo!!
