Sat 1st September

Time to think about dieting again!!!!

Well, we're back!!!

Had a fab 2 weeks in Devon - the sun shone every day except for one VERY rainy day near the beginning of the holiday.
The kids and I went in the pool every day, R has become a water baby and can now swim and jump in in the deep end, I was so so proud of how well she did in the pool, considering how when we 1st got there she wouldn't even jump in or could barely swim a width. I was a bit nervous of her going in the deep end at first.

We met a couple there and their 2 children who we had actually met there on the same camp 3 years ago. Their girl was a year older than R and it was great that R had her as a friend for the 1st week of the holiday - it was nice to see them and we sat by them some evenings in the club when the entertainment was on.(hello to Sarah, Martin, Sophie and Jordan)

J made some friends towards the end of the holiday - they said they should have spoken at the beginning of the holiday - pics to follow.

We walked down into Brixham every day. But alas I know the effect of the Hhhhhhummmm.....alcohol and ermmmmm ice-creams and ok yeah, the fish and chips - well the damage is done and I shall see how bad on Monday morning!!!!

But what the hell, we had a good holiday.

J did well in his GCSE's getting 3 A's-------5 B's and 2 D's. We got the results today (they were posted to the house). I was so nervous for him....he came upstairs to open the envelope (alone!!!).

It's 7.30pm and we are knackered after the 7 hour car journey. I have a mountain of washing to tackle (tomorrow). Neil is tired (he enjoyed the holiday too by the way!!). He looks quite sun tanned. I have a bit of colour but will be white again in a few days I am sure.

Neil has gained about 6 lbs, not too bad for a 2 week holiday I guess!!! I am going to face the scales in the morning. Arghghghg. It is sods law that I willl have gained more even though I think I ate less and spent quite a bit of time in the pool.

Rain rain rain all day.

It's 2am Monday morning and I cannot get to sleep. I totally cannot get to sleep. I feel wound up and cannot relax (combination of money worries and health concerns I suppose).Neil is snoring away. Arghghghg........I can't get to sleep.
