Okay, I've decided to delete my previous blog posts. Lets face it, they were rubbish, and didn't say very much about me other than the fact that I'm overweight and I whinge a lot!

So, new year, new beginning. 

Ironically I can't think of a great deal to say at the moment. Figures!

I've had a very quiet Christmas and New Year. I single handily cooked Christmas dinner (I'm not the worlds best chef, and I'm sorry to say I undercooked the sausages, and the pigs in blankets). That was quite an achievement on my part it has to be said. The turkey was pretty darned good if I do say so myself, and the parsnips were done well too :) All in all, although not brilliant, I was happy enough with the result. 

Not that we had many people round for Christmas dinner. Only my mam. So I didn't have many people to impress. Mind you she didn't eat a great deal (she had previously eaten some lunch at my uncle's house) so a lot of the food went to waste (even after devouring leftovers the following day). So that was a shame.

New Year was just spent at home. I really wanted to go out but the kids were tired so they had to go bed at a reasonable time. I guess we'll have chance to go out when they get older.

I'm currently waiting for Phil (my hubby) to wake up. It's after 12.30pm for goodness sake! I was up at 9am with the kids but he's still sleeping. I think I'm going to send Lydia (my daughter) upstairs to bounce on his bed at some point soon. 

Lydia has been driving me insane lately. She's being the very definition of 'defiant'. It's been a week or two now and she's not letting up - literally EVERYTHING we tell her to do, she does the opposite. It's starting to send me crazy. I hate telling her off a bazillion times a day, but she's not leaving me with much alternative. She starts nursery on Monday so I'm hoping she'll burn off a little excess energy there by playing with the  other children and running around in the playground. Maybe she'll mellow slightly.

Alex (my son) on the other hand has been quite lovely lately. 

Phil and I are planning on starting Slimming World again this week, so I will be keeping up updated on that at some point, but I don't want to turn this into purely a food diary like I was doing previously. That's a bit boring!

Okay, that's enough for now, tarra.
