Mon 22nd Feb

I came down with ant and we sat with a coffee and chatted for a little while then i went online, had a quote for a new bumper so will need to act on this. The weather was unpleasant and we had decided we would go out to the coast for the day so this put the mockers on it a little. I had a little chat with Tony and he reminded me of the scrap yard at Merlimont so i decided we would drive there and have a look. We set off before lunch, stopped in Hesdin to check the bank and refuel, then headed to the coast, we arrived too early, lunch time, so we headed off in search of McDonalds for lunch, where i had a chicken ceasar salad which was not too bad, ant tucked in to a couple of burgers and chips, greedy b! When we returned to the scrap yard it was open but he did not have any Fiesta bumpers, typical!! he had a fair selection of very nice cars which i would not have minded looking through but it was raining and ant wasn't for getting his do wet so we set off again. We stopped at a huge supermarket to get a couple of bits and pieces, a new set of light bulbs for the car to start. I threw my dummy out of the pram over a nintendo wii but it all settled down and we headed back to Hesdin where we had a bit of a look in Lydl and Aldi and Gifi, where we bought a new door mat, head phones, electric skipping rope, and a water filter.
When we got back we put all the bits together, i had a go on the skipping rope but it was not too good so i got the trampette out and did twenty mins on that instead. We had a bit of a lull in the late afternoon when ant went for a nap, i found a good dieting website, free which you can use to chart your progress and plan meals and exercise, www.projectweightloss.com, so i fiddled on with that for a bit, i thought it was quite good. I made dinner for ant and i, steak and salad, which was better than last week as the steak was a little better. We watched tv after dinner, nothing much, glee then shogun, then went up to bed.
