Flying with bingo wings

Why do holidays wear you out so much that when they are over you feel like you need another?!

I have been having siestas and I'm only 2 hours away from my house. I have done literally nothing apart from swim, read, eat, a bit of walking, sleep and eat....I am cream crackered!

We have had a lovely time though, every morning the ducks have come to the patio for their breakfast, the weather has been fantastic and Scarlett has been her cheeky self as always.

I must have eaten my weight in food though but I have been exercising a little. I did a few lunges in the park (which I got a few weird looks for) and ran around the tree top park like a looney, which ironically I got less stares for and I have come up with a new exercise....

Pretend you are an airplane stick your arms out and make small circles with your arms 30 seconds forward the 30 seconds backwards. Repeat x 4 (can streatch it throughout the day to spread the pain) and boom bingo wing blaster exercise complete.

Mmm must be chocolate cake time, then sleep time. Homeward bound tomorrow.

A mother's bicep

Doing this blog makes me appreciate scarlett as a person documenting all of the funny, annoying cheeky things she does.

For example last night I asked scarlett for a milk bottle sweet and she said

"Mummy, I'm not getting up again!" And held her hands up with her little annoyed face. Me and my dad were in stitches.

Just flicked past the horse racing swear said horse was 9st 12lb I have since decided I need to diet and do more exercise and I have come up with fun ways to lose weight, seeing as I weigh more than a horse.

Today, pretend you are swimming in St Lucia (or any tropical island of your choice) lay on your bed with your legs hanging off the end and kick up and down as fast as u can for 30 seconds stop then repeat x 3 and that is your exercise for the day.
I did used to have one bicep bigger than the other from carrying Scarlett around for 4 years, I call it a mother's bicep as we all have one bigger than the other from carrying our kids around, unless you can switch from arm to arm, if you can, I am totally jealous! So tomorrow I will come up with weak non carrying arm exercises.

I also did a bit of extra exercise in the actual pool today, well while waiting to go down the slide...I kept walking up and down the top step, granted I looked ridiculous but now I can sit on the patio with a book and a glass of wine guilt free.... result!

I'm a open/closed book

Hello, is it me you're looking for?

Like a good book I keep coming back to my blog, I pick it up, then put it down but I always come back, like a duck looking for food (I'm sitting outside my cabin in Longleat Centre Parcs and a duck walked past, so it seemed apt.)

I may have left this for so long as when I moved in with my parents for ten months and now I've moved out again (ironically with less time to blog and doing everything myself again, like washing clothes. ..which I have not missed doing) I realised it has been too long without a post!

So no promises of endless daily posts but hopefully one a day, if my child and sleepy eyes permit, I'm back!!
