It went really well, he had a fab day and lots of great pressies (phonics toys, a balance bike and a Mobi-Go Vtech thingymajig) I mostly resisted temptation, by allowing myself 1/2 a pack of smarties and then a pack of quavers after. It was hard going though and I made sure everyone took the leftover cake away with them so I didn't have that looking at me all the next day! hehe
I've taken him out this morning and got him registered at playgroup for September, he'll be doing 5 mornings a week and 2 afternoons. Scary how fast time flies.
And then to fill up all my free time I've just registered myself with the OU to start a part time degree course in October That should keep me busy enough not to keep eating, lol!

Which book is he getting? The Kath Woodward one? Need to make sure you get the 2nd edition not the lovely cheap 1st edition which is out of date apparently, heh. I've got one saved in my amazon basket ready for payday. I will also be ordering huge amounts of stationery, mostly because I really like stationery
I've also spent half of today tidying and decluttering my desk area to try and make some room for study stuffs. October seems like a very long time away yet though, I am busying myself doing some of the free online courses and looking through ItunesU.
The garden is ok now, just waterlogged but hopefully a day or two of dry weather will get that sorted. Need to jetwash the silt off the driveway tomorrow and we'll be sorted

I'm on plan but eating far far too much. My stomach seems to have been swapped with a bottomless pit. I will try and fill it up with tea instead.

I deserve some kind of medal today. The rest of the family went to the chip shop and brought home fishcake and chips and I've been and cooked my own version for tea instead.
Coley, crinkle cut chips and mushy peas

1/2 a pound off for me last night. I have no idea how I managed that but I've kicked myself up the arse and I'm back on the wagon as of today. The best thing I did for myself yesterday was not to buy any Rocky Road HiFi bars at group last night, they're too dangerous for me to have in the house! hehe
