Day 10 best holiday.

Quick one today as its shopping day, parents evening and gymnastics tonight. 

Corfu 1994 with Paul. My first holiday with him. 
We flew from Heathrow so travelled down by coach from Birmingham which I paid for with my £50 winnings on a scratch card...happy days! 
We had two weeks in Paleokastritsa it was brilliant. We had fun laughing,  sunbathing, snorkelling, sight seeing, eating and drinking. 
And then laughed our whole way home. 

I shall search for a photo later as I like to post one with every blog but this was pre digital camera days!

Day 7 amendment to my goals!

To unsubscribe from all the emails I delete every day with out reading!!!


It might take me six months!! 

Day 9 outfit of the day.

We've been having some unusually good weather and my wardrobe is unprepared! 
I bought a summer dress on Sunday and wore it Monday and Tuesday so what to wear on Wednesday ?

I work in year one at a primary school and most schools built in the UK (that aren't Victorian) resemble green houses!!! 
It's boiling down in early years, cool and floaty has to be 'en vogue' at the moment! 

Went for black Tshirt and red swirly patterned skirt as it a little cooler today. 


Best photo I could take of myself!!

Day 7.

What are your goals for the next six months.

This kind of goes against my way of thinking, I'm not someone who sets targets, I don't really do New Year resolutions either, maybe it's a fear of failing I don't know?

Well lets see, six months. 

I'm growing my hair (again) and I'd like to lose weight. I'll keep you posted on my progress with both. 

I say I don't set myself targets but I do write list of things I want sometimes, there's a new tv, car and computer on my want list at the moment as well as redecorating but that's on it all the time.

Day 6 Favourite homemade meal

Tomato Lasagne (sometimes vegetable)



I've made this meal a million times, it's originally from Linda McCartney's home cooking book, but over the years I've taken a bit out and added a bit in.

I make it from sight so I'm not sure of measurement etc. 

Gently fry a chopped red onion in a little olive oil. 
Add a crushed garlic clove. 
Chopped celery (sometimes) 
When onion is soft add two tins of chopped tomatoes (one if doing vegetable version)
Now the questionable measuring...
Some tomato purée I'd say maybe half a tube or two tablespoons!!!
Some passatta if I have some. 
A little bit of veg stock cube or marigold bouillon. 
Always a teaspoon of sugar to take away the acidity of the toms. 
Salt. 
Pepper. 

Simmer. 

Quorn mince can be added or carrot courgette, red pepper, aubergine and mushroom for a vegetable version, omit one can if toms as I said. 

I'm a bit lazy as I don't make my own white sauce! 

Ladle a layer of the tomato sauce into a large rectangle dish. 
Then a layer of lasagne fresh, dried whatever you like. 
Repeat with sauce and lasagne. 

Then a jar of white sauce, I've tried most now and have to say Aldi's is as good as Ragu or Dolmio. 

I put it in the oven now for about 15 minutes then take it out sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top and return it to the oven for another 15 mins. 

Post a favourite photo of yourself...

Ok. 

Two photos if that's ok. 

Both taken with a mobile phone which is all we use now. 


Paul took this one, I'm helping Tommy put his shoes on, I'm pregnant with Jack and I just look happy and healthy. My hair is its natural colour and its a lovely snap shot. 


I took this one myself. Me and Jack in the kitchen in the pervious photo (which I can't find) we had stickers all over our faces. 

I have thousands and thousands of photos but I'm not very often in many so in a funny way today's task was quite easy.
