It goes with out saying that we now have enough chocolate in this house to last until Christmas - even with me and Tom as certified choc-o-holics!

We went to stay with my mum over easter. She put on an easter egg hunt round her house for the kids to find choccy eggs.

The weather was amazing so we had a day up at Towneley Park & Hall - where Jack took his trike and had his face painted, and a day at the local play ground on Park Road - where Tom fell alseep in the roundabout/nest thingy.

We even got the paddling pool up on Nana's back lawn and had a water fight!

It' a good job the weather was nice too, as Tom was pretty unsettled at night (even though he was in the same bed, in the same room, with the same toys as he usually is when he sleeps fine) and wound up in bed with me every night we were there. So not much sleep for mummy, but the sunshine and fresh air made up for it!

Recipe: Pigsty Pie

This is one that we made up, although we are far from the first or only people to make a pie using pork or pork mince and call it a Pigsty Pie. So let's just say that this is our version of it. It smells great and reminds me of stuffing at Christmas, making it feel much more "naughty" than it is! This serves four people and it a nice 9 points per serving. You will need these for the mash: 400g potatoes 400g sweet potatoes 4-5 good sized carrots Salt Pepper Nutmeg Simply chop the roots, boil in salted water until tender, and mash! Add salt, pepper and nutmeg to taste. The pie filling: 10 sprays low fat cooking spray (e.g. 1 cal) 1/2 lb lean pork mince 2 onions, finely chopped 3 apples, diced 1 leek, chopped 5-6 big mushrooms 2 tbs plain flour 1 tsp sage 1 tsp parsley Salt Pepper 1 vegetable stock cube 1/2 hot water 2 tsp English mustard Fry the onions in the cooking spray until they start to soften, add the mince. Once the meat starts to colour add the apple, leek and mush
