Fun way to do the house work!

Bee coz I...have decided to do a declutter of my house I have been picking one room at a time (today was the bathroom) and spring cleaning/chucking stuff out.

To make it more interesting I do things like watch a show on TiVo and when an add comes on I go clean like mad then come back and watch the next bit, then I loose track and keep cleaning well past the ad break and I just rewind and watch what I missed until the next ads! Mental but it's very productive and you don't feel like you are missing out!

Today I applied the same theory but I played my new fav game "where's my water" 1 game then 10 mins cleaning - it worked a treat, bathroom looks great!

Good use of a wild weather day!

Squeezed in a walk with Jane which was great, it was peeing down at my house but fine at hers about 10 km away!

That's it for the day - bee

B:cereal
L:poached (just laid the day before) eggs on wholemeal
D:chicken and veggies
Naughty but nice: some peanut m and m's (eight to be exact)

The moral of the story is..you need to make a booking

Bee coz I...took Tracy down to the mornington spa on a rainy day, I called to check it would be still open. Recorded message said yes!

We grabbed lunch and traveled down to the coast (1hr 15min) only to be told it was booked out as there was so many people - doh!

We planned some other things to do and enjoyed the arvo by visiting a bee farm yum! - got some ginger infused honey which will be great for stir fried veggies or just on toast. Best of all got a dozen free range eggs laid that day.

Next we hit Frankston and visited the sandcastles, they were amazing! I took this pic because it's how I felt for 5mins when there was no room in the inn (spa)

We had a great day then had dinner with the kiddies then had a laugh bathing them, Jorja accidentally tipped about three cups of water on me, little cute Minx!

Thirsty work!

Bee coz I...conned Tracy and her friend Tarsh into a lap of the lake, Jorja and I did two laps today. It was very thirsty work but lots of fun.

Veggie patch is conning along mainly because it has rained everyday since I planted out, I'm beginning to wonder if I have single handedly ruined everyone's summer holidays :)

Big day tomorrow because Tracy(Jorja's mum) and I are going to the spa- woo hoo

Bee
B:beans and grilled tomatoes
L: ham wrap
D:very small bowl of nachos

It's raining it's pouring

Bee coz I...ran out of potting mix yesterday I had to go out in the rain to get more. I potted out the last of my veggie pots in between showers.

Other than being eaten alive (well almost) by mozzies today has been pretty uneventful, house work, walked the dog, weeded and potted out.

Now I'm watching the final of survivor, my fav has been voted out so now I don't mind who wins - bee

B: boiled egg on toast
L: brown rice and tuna followed by a yoghurt
D: salad and chicken tender wrap (delish)

Veggies are go!

Bee coz I ....spent the arvo in the garden I decided to rig up a long lead for Leo so he could run around the garden with out running off.

I spend the day fixing up my veggie patch (well veggie tubs) and planted some herbs and veggies. My idea is to only plant what I need otherwise you end up giving most of it away. I added chives to my herb pot and planted peas, beetroot, silver beet, lettuce and broccoli, I'll let you know how it goes.

Went back to Zumba today it was great Claire really worked us hard. It's good to be back!

Bee

B:diet shake
L:tomato and hummus on grain bread with yoghurt and a tub of blue berries
D: ham on grain bread and beans

The cost of Christmas

Bee coz I...ate what ever I wanted (within reason) and exercised less than usual I was quite happy/ relieved that the damage was contained to 1.5kg.

So it was up and at em this morning off for a walk around the lake with Jorja this morning, 2 hrs (no joke) mowing yesterday and I'll take Leo for a walk tonight.

Lucky for me I slipped strait back into my good eating habits and the only thing I have felt like (but didn't have) was a run and raisin ice cream.

Well I'm off to the pool now to cool off with Jorja, Max and Tracy so I'll see you soon

Bee
B:ham on toast with spinach and tomato and a yoghurt
L:salad roll
D:salad wrap and fruit (will be)

Seals and other things

Bee coz I...got treated by my parents to an amazing fast dingy/boat ride, I got the chance to snap a few pics of seals.

It was an awesome experience as the boat followed the rugged coast line almost down to where you could see the most southern point of tassie, spending time looking at caves then seals.

We the headed further out to sea and sped home. I stood up (with permission ) the whole way back, enjoying the free salt air facial and some mighty fine air in my lungs.

Then it was a quick shower then out to my brothers for a steam boat dinner, I really liked the concept of starting with a stock and adding veggies and meat/fish and noodles as the night progresses eating small bowls of yummy broth as you go!

I'm going to try my own version when I get home as its so healthy.

By for now bee x x
