ahhh, www is back on granola. all is well with the world.

I've got 'til Monday to be bad haven't I?

Hello all. It's been a difficult couple of months. We have been away or had people to stay EVERY weekend for 8 weeks and have just waved off our Dutch friends after two weeks staying with us over Christmas.

I'm surprised I haven't reached the point where I'm drinking wine on an i/v just to save having to expend the energy of lifting it to my mouth.

I have lost count of the champagne drunk and piles of food eaten. We got back yesterday from another 2 day eating/champagne quaffing session. I need detox. Alas tonight I still have some chinese takeaway to eat so bootcamp isn't restarting until Monday. And I don't think I could take a session with Evil Victoria (TM) until I've got some vitamins back into me. I'm knackered. No more guests/being guests. I can't cope with it any more. My kidneys hurt.

Happy New Year btw

I love bootcamp. It's the only place that someone might say 'wow duchess' in a good way.

Had a lovely walk with dog & DCs in woods yesterday. Today they all have barking coughs so I will have to go alone (but will cover more ground).

Yesterdays diet included Jaffa cakes, ginger cake and a flake. Made more effort to drink water though but had another late night and didn't wake up until nearly 9am today. Must sort this out before Monday or school run will be terrible shock to the system.

arfishy - best wishes to your kidneys
batters - eek at 'worthy' pantomine, sounds dire
www - hope you're less tired today. The granola is sure to kick in soon and have you bursting with energy.

www - was it that bloody moondog giving you wotsit cravings?!

Had a very long but cold dog walk in the weedy snow. I should start wearing the Moron again really.

I've had bagel & cream cheese, vegetable chow mein, veg & lentil soup, poppy seed roll, tarte tatin & cream, 2 shortbread biscuits. And I did much better with water today. But another late night due to watching another Bond film. Ah well, tis the end of my Christmas holiday. Back to school on Monday.
