To my wonderful parents HAPPY WEDDING ANNIVERSARY :0)
End Week 2
Loss: 5oz (200g)
Total Lost: 3.8lbs (1.7kgs)
To goal: 13.5lbs (6.1kgs)
Have to be honest I am gutted as apart from Simon's birthday lunch on Tuesday I felt like I had a pretty good week and even started to up my exercise.....but I didn't put the kgs on overnight so guess I can't expect to lose them that way either :0) Onward and upward (well hopefully downward lol) and roll on a better week.

Sunday 17th January 2010
After a fairly chilled weekend spent predominantly at home due to the cold rainy conditions which have now set in, the children and I went down to the Brighton Center with the Cuckfield Brownies to watch this year's Holiday on Ice (thanks to my friend Catherine who is their Brown Owl) - what a spectacular and something I am so glad I have been able to experience....the children were absolutely enthralled and the 2 hour show literally flew by in an extravaganza of daring skating and breathtaking costumes....WOW WOW WOW!

Is it possible to have too much of a good thing?
Definitely, or at least that is my opinion after another heavy snowfall last night crippled West Sussex and left my family snowed in once more. I think if you live in a country which is prepared for this much snow and each home is equip with the right tools for digging out cars and tyres are fitted with snow chains then it is okay, but little England simply isn't ready for this, and totally understandably too as it was in 1963 that this much snow was last seen on our beautiful island.
The schools are totally unprepared and the staff are simply unable to keep the campus's clear and safe for the pupils let alone warm the classrooms to a livable temperature, the train are running, but only to major centers and the shops are really battling to keep up with the demand for essential such as bread and milk.
We have built our snowmen, raced our "Lindaboards" and had about as many snowball fights as one family can have and now we are finding the weather cold and miserable and the grey skies with their foreboding of yet more snow are no longer a magical sight.....all that said however I have LOVED every minute up until now, but it is time for it to all go away for another year at least.

Random Ice photos
While digging the car out on Saturday morning I was struck but the number of wonderful ice formations all over the garden - didn't take me long to ditch my broom and grab my camera :0)
It would seem that the central heating causes the snow to melt but the air temp is so low it literally freezes while it drips causing these amazing icicles.
