Sunday a day of rest - not in our house! Up around 8.35am and Tony cooked us all egg or bacon (or both) rolls. The boys stayed at home and Lara, Tony and myself headed off to the leisure centre for the monthly plyometric class - speed & agility for sport. Had a good chat with the parents, the topic of conversation went from X Factor, IACGMOOH to ET (which is 27 years old).
The weather was dreadful, it was bucketing down so a quick dash to the car and home and dry. We didn't have to go out again (thank goodness) so we had a great family day. Curtains drawn we watched an old film and then mid afternoon Deck The Halls with Danny DeVito and Matthew Broderick, lovely family xmas fun film (seen it before but hey ho) and just as it finished, I dished up the Roast Beef, roast potatoes, roast parnsnips, savoy cabbage, leek and broccoli (our 5 a day) and yorkshire puds.
After dinner the boys played Call of Duty until it was time for the X Factor result show. SuBo was still sounding a bit strange to me when they chatted to her! Olly was in the bottom two, but even though he is from Essex his last two weeks performances haven't been great.....so not a surprise really. It finally happened, Jedward have left the building but I doubt thats the last we see of them!
Time for I'm A Celeb and there was nearly another "Rumble In The Jungle" Not sure who I would have put my money on for that one!!!!!! Just read today (Monday) that Katie Price has quit and left the show now - ah well. I headed to bed around 10.30pm as Monday I start my last cycle of chemo (for now anyway) and I can't wait!
taken in my front garden, gotta love a Bleeding Heart!
