Off to the seaside!!

I've been running round like a headless chicken all day, as tonight (after picking up Drama Teen from Stagecoach) we are going to Blackpool!! We are letting Little Miss Sensible have the house to herself to host a party to celebrate her 18th birthday. I can't decide if I'm mad or stupid or both!!! Answers on a postcard please...

We know the majority of the friends that are coming, they are all fairly sensible and have accepted the rules we've laid down (no drinking to excess, no smoking, no breaking things). But I still have a bunch of what ifs running round my head!! Hopefully I'll be worrying for nothing - watch this space!! If I don't return they've trashed my house!!!!!!

We've got friends in Blackpool that we are meeting for a meal tonight, unless Little Prince falls asleep and then me and him will be dropped off at our hotel, while Mr Messy and Drama Teen go for the meal. He's already sleepy and has spent most of the day sucking his thumb and carrying his blankie around - so I'm not holding out much hope for a meal. I'll probably end up with a McD's brought back to the hotel!!

Tomorrow we are spending the day with our friends, if the weather's good we might go to the zoo not sure what the alternative plans are, we are discussing that tonight at the meal. It can be a nightmare finding something to amuse all the kids as they are such different ages. We had hoped that Little Prince and MeiMei would be fairly close in age, so we didn't have that problem so much - but with the wait for a referral stretching out longer and longer, that's probably not going to happen.

I tried on a pair of jeans I haven't worn for ages earlier today, and was gutted to find they didn't fit any more - they're my FAVES :-( I will have to seriously start cutting down on calories and upping the exercising!! But I've been spoilt by being on the LighterLife diet - I lost weight so quickly that 'ordinary' dieting just doesn't seem quick enough!! I have to get into a sensible mindset and stop expecting the same results as LighterLife, otherwise I just get discouraged. I also have to get motivated - to help me resist my other FAVE - Cadbury's chocolate yuuuummy :-)
