    Wednesday or as some of my American friends like to say - Hump Day! Had a fairly decent nights sleep but still didn't really wanna get up at 7am when the alarm went off.  Came downstairs, went to the loo (washed my hands) and took my anti-nausea tablet.  Made a cuppa for Tony and I and sorted out the kids lunches, I will admit I have been "très lazy" this week in that I bought some of those nasty cheese dippers, Philadelphia…

    Tuesday I had to drag myself off the sofa (see 221 for the horror that was the Ollie Monster) and go upstairs and wake the family. Got the lunches ready after taking my Granisetron anti-nausea tab and was amazed at how well I was feeling all things considered. Usually day two marks the start of feeling crappy.....but alls well at 8am when I throw my two poisonous capsules down my throat with copious amounts of Mexican…

    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).

    Saturday started in a very lazy way, we sat around in our jim jams until quite late, drank tea and coffee, chatted, the kids took turns on the PS3 and Tony and I used our computers.  But reality bites and we get dressed and go out and get a little bit of shopping to see us through the day.  I bought tiger bread rolls and a hot cooked chicken which we had with mayo for lunch.  Jack wanted cream cheese & smoked salmon bagels…
