Resolutions

Last year I said.....
On to New Years Resolutions.... anyone else got any this year?

Mine are to start cooking proper Sunday Dinners (now we have a good oven, there's no excuse!), and to get the hose decorated again. Our room, Jack's"big boy" room, the livingroom, and (if pushed) the stairs & landing too.

Mark suggested that he might quit smoking again. I'm hoping it's also to get a new job, as we're REALLY going to need the money very soon!

And this is how we did!

We live in a smoke free home! Well done Mark who quite back in October and has stayed off them even though he's gone back to work.

We have has a roast every week unless we were away or too ill to cook (which we agreed was acceptable)

The livingroom is almost decorated (celing to paint...), Jack's room is almost finished (vent cover to put up and drawers to mend), stairs & landing are half way done, our room never got touched. But as my beloved husband is a true procrastinator I don't think that's too bad (yes, the bits that are left over are the bits he was going to do, apart from our bedroom which we have just put off indefinatly)

Now for 2011

For me it's going to have to be the tradidtional "Weight Loss" becuase I am far too big. It's not healthy, it's not atractive, it needs to change. We do now have a Wii so I am getting on the Wii Fit Plus and the Wi iSport & Resort games to get some cals burned. I can even do that with Jack, and sometimes Tom too. I am signed up with Weight Watchers again too. Since I'm back to work in a few weeks and Tom is due his first tooth soon I'll be cutting bak on breastfeeding so there's no excuse to over indulge myself.

LEARN CROCHET! I have been collecting these damn magazines for months now, and it's about time I learned from them!

I think I'll be pushing that hubby of mine to finish off this DIY we started last year. He wont let me to the stairs and landing, or the celing of the front room, and I wouldn't know where to start with mending the big chest of drawers in Jacks room other wise I would have already done it myself.

Anyway... that's the kids waking up from their naps, so it's back into mummy mode. (Cuddles for the baby and Mario Kart Wii for the big'un!)

Wedding List.... (OMG)

A new kitchen.... Really! We need one! So I've been saying to people that we'll want either B&Q or Ikea vouchers... Only I can't say which yet because I haven't choosen which one I like best: B&Q Oak Shaker style: ( on froogle ) ( on their site ) Ikea: Tildaholm BECAUSE... our kitchen is REALLY badly laid out, the storage is dropping to bits, the seal round the sink is black and festering, the oven hasn't worked for YEARS (the hob and grill are ok though), the seal on one of thef ridge doors has gone too, and the floor... half tiled, half bare concret! But now I have to choose which one I like best, and get the measurements sorted out, and then get the prices for what I can have in the space we've got... PHEW!

Recipe Review: Hairy Bikers liver & bacon with onions & gravy

I need a bit of comfort food at this time of year. I really love this recipe from The Hairy Bikers:  Liver and bacon with onions and gravy  and freely admit that I have whipped this from the BBC Food website. I follow the recipe (but sometimes chuck some mushrooms in too) and split it four ways at 11 pro points per serving. It's a classic, and even my 6 year old likes liver cooked like this - the 4 & 2 year olds need a little extra ketchup to convince them. The Hairy Bikers’ traditional liver and bacon makes a simple supper packed full of flavour and bursting with vitamins and minerals Ingredients 450g/1lb lambs’  liver , sliced and fully thawed if frozen 25g/1oz  butter 2 tbsp  sunflower oil 4 tbsp  plain flour 1  onion , halved lengthways and sliced 125g/4½oz rindless streaky  bacon  rashers, each cut into 4–5 pieces 1  beef stock  cube 500ml/18fl oz  jus t-boiled water 1–2 tsp tomato  ketchup salt and freshly ground  black pepper Preparation method Rinse the liver in a cola
