Well we had a roast turkey breast that I bought from Morrisons and I did mash, carrots, brocolli and peas. It was delicious!
I'm really enjoying cooking, I can't believe that for so many years I relied on ready meals, frozen veg and crap!
I must keep on top of my eating though. After having lost 5 stone I'm finding it really hard to stay on track at the moment. I decided today that I like being slim more than I like eating food and chocolate so I'm going to try really hard to get back in gear and start losing weight again.
I've been a lot more active over the last couple of days too and did lots of walking yesterday. I need to exercise more - I just wish I could motive myself to go swimming regularly.
If only we could afford a house with its own swimming pool!

Welcome to my blog
Hi,
I've been blogging on our fund website on and off but I decided to get my own blog after reading through a friend's blog last night.
I'll try and post most days if I get chance.
It's the anniversary of our son Christopher's first brain surgery after he was diagnosed with a brain tumour so I've been quite thoughtful today.
The operation lasted over 8 hours and me, my sister Jane and my husband Andy went into Birmingham city centre to try and pass the time.
I remember being so scared that he wouldn't know us when he woke up or that he'd be disabled in some way as they had warned us of the risks of the surgery.
We've not done alot to day really. We got up late as it's still Easter holidays here. We had a bath and washed our hair and me, Katherine and Isobel went to Morrisons to do the shopping and had lunch in the cafe.
Matthew stayed here and had a bath and washed his hair too.
I rang British gas homecare to call them out to our boiler as the pilot light keeps going out and it's a real pain.
Mark (Katherine's friend from the band) called round for a while and I'm just thinking what to do for tea now although I'm not very hungry as it's not been long since we ate.

New friend!
We've made a new friend. His name is Chris and he works in the cafe at Morrisons. I've known him for a couple of years but never really got to know him very well until I started work at Morrisons.
Last week he offered to come round and give Matthew some guitar tuition and he's been a few times since.Matthew has learned loads and Chris is an awesome guitar player.A couple of times he's stayed for tea as it was tea time so I made extra so that there'd be enough for him too. They also went to the club on Saturday and played on stage together with Katherine singing - it was really good. It's on You Tube if you want to see.
Anyway last night Andy took Chris home and after an hour came back! He'd been sat chatting in the car. I was chatting to Chris on MSN later that night and he said that he'd never met a family that had made him feel as welcome as we had from the minute he set foot in the door. He thinks we are all amazing and really lovely.
I'm so touched by what he said. I think we're a lovely family but when others say it too, and they often do, then we must really be!I t's amazing what good friends we've all become.
Chris has a great sense of humour, as do we all so he fits in really well!He seems to like my cooking too so it's all good!
