Call me when you’ve grown up… Time to take my big girl pill

Monday, March 15th, 2010

luv-hearts If youve ever droped by my blog or twitter you probably know I am disorgainsed at best, a complete disaster at worse!

But this week I have decided that, in the words of the once great Michael Jackson I need too “make that change”.

Its time to grow up and take my big girl pill, to act like an adult and *grow* a responsible personality.

I know I need too, I’m….erm old enough!…. Have 3 kids, a lovely hubby type person and my very own budding business but when I go out in public places I feel like a silly kid. Which I know I’m not, I know about world issues (…well…ok, some of them) and have qualifications, I am even a bona fida qualified interior designer (although not practising ;D ) But I just can’t help acting like a complete dummy!

Day 2 of the New (Diet) Frugal Week….Prawn Biryani

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010

This one is a based  on a weight watchers recipe but don’t let that stop you, I have spiced and  freshened it up a bit and it ended up rather nice :) .

Oh, must just say Milly (1) didn’t have it because of the prawns (she had cheesy beans instead!).

So this recipe makes enough for 4 and contains around 440 cals… yum!… and cost no more than 3 quid! Double Yum!

A new Frugal week, Yay!

Monday, March 1st, 2010

So this week is going to be frugal with a twist, as I am on a diet…cough… healthy eating plan.

Spring has just about sprung and although its hard to imagine now, there is a small glimmer of hope that in a couple of months I won’t be wearing my trusty “covers all me fat bits and flatters me  a bit on the good bits, winter coat”.

So time to stop eating all the pies, and the butter and the cream and the wine and the chocolate!…and get down to some serious muffin top shrinking! (more…)
