The dirty dishes cupboard is broken!

And we have a cockroach problem (well, specifically, the unit block we live in has a cockroach problem that we have to put up with). Any crumb of food left on the bench for 2 seconds becomes a roach restaurant, so the dishwasher plays a big part in our lives. No one wants to have to wash their coffee cup immediately after drinking out of it do they?

Hooray for the Dolmio box in the freezer, instant meal, not much washing up! Seriously, I ate it out of the packet, but I did cook up some vegies and put them on a plate so it was a relatively balanced effort.

I have had a good week so far. And today I met my challenge - I was out walking before I got ready for work (I confess to pushing the snooze button a couple of times though...). I'm going to have an exercise rest day tomorrow, Mum is in town for a mothers day weekend and since she's also loosing at the moment, it will no doubt be a fairly active day. I'm really looking forward to hanging out with her again, our relationship has definately become stronger over the last 3 years.

My partner is flying home tomorrow (he's been workin in Brissy for the week)so instead of getting our regular friday night 'outsourced' meal, I'm going to try and cook up something yummy (with not too many pots)using the new recipe book I got last week. I may have to up the serving size for the boy, but damn it, he can eat healthy too for once.

My big friday night weakness will be the wine, I'm going to try and stop at 2 sml glasses... it's a toughie, but I'm feeling strong!
