Saturday week 17

Well in true Bank Holiday style the rain has arrived, I managed to do some bits in the garden this morning then it turned miserable. We went to blockbuster to get a couple of DVD's to pass the time if this is going to be it for the weekend!!
We have also done the food shopping today, I still don't have a problem with this, in fact I enjoy it. Tesco had decided to move a load of things which scuppered my usual plan of head down with the trolley on auto pilot only stopping at the healthy options, well today I had to endure looking at the nice goodies like Pizza Express pizzas and I was only looking for lean cooked ham, honest!! you will be please to know I did not buy any, the most unhealthy item bought was probably a box of "decorate your own" gingerbread men, not for my consumption I hasten to add!!

My wife has decided that she would like some form of roof over the top of our hot tub, I have therefore spent a couple of hours this afternoon looking at designs of wooden gazebos with roofs. I may have already mentioned that I have a week off next week, looks like I have my work cut out now!! That's on top of painting the sheds with treatment if the cloud breaks for a few hours and so the list goes on.... I do need to keep busy though, just to stop me getting too bored and risk the feeling of hunger creeping in.
I treated myself to a choc mint shake today with mix a mousse which tuned it into something resembling a blamanche, maybe I put too much of the mix a mousse in to the bowl, its supposed to be like angel delight!! anyway it tasted good and actually gave quite a filling feeling.

Its my Birthday tomorrow and my little one is so excited for me, he keeps asking if we are going to have a tea party with balloons and tea party food!! and things like jelly and iced rings he said, well I can manage to have some clear berry flavoured jelly but he is too young to understand that I just cant eat anything else. I will buy a few bits to make some party food just for him and he will be chuffed to bits
I will hopefully be back on Monday to post some more, If it keeps raining and I get bored I may be back sooner......
