I am now officially a year older, and have vowed that I won't eat for a week after last night's Chinese buffet. I am still full to the brim, but it was lovely being able to keep going up and trying new dishes, and we certainly made the most of the opportunity! The children were very impressed by the candy floss machine, and must have eaten twice their own body weight in sugar.
Hubby has returned to work today, and I've run out of excuses for not doing the housework, so my day will be busy, too. What I really don't understand is how one family can create so much washing in less than a week. The laundry basket was overflowing, and after a good sort out I've got 8 loads to do. Each load takes just over an hour, so I've planned my day around each load...sad, isn't it?!
I put the first load in, grabbed my trainers and went out for a run. It's the first time I've been out running for a while, as I've relied on the treadmill through the snow. It's really foggy here today, and also a lot warmer than it has been. I'd overestimated how many layers I'd need to wear, and within half a mile I was very hot and rather wheezy. Even so, it was so much nicer to be out watching the world go by than stuck inside watching tv, and the 3.2 miles that I covered today passed by very quickly.
The second load of washing went in while I had a quick bath, and now the third load is in and I'm doing some tidying and helping youngest daughter to clean out her guinea pig. Who knows, by the end of the day I might just have got the 8th load washed, and tomorrow I can look forward to ironing it all. Oh the joys of being a mother!
