Legoland Here We Come!

We're booked, paid for (ouch), and on our way to Legoland. The cheapest option was a two day pass plus hotel, so I've asked Sam's mummy to extend our time on Tuesday in return for less time the following weekend. With luck we'll arrive at Legoland about noon next Tuesday and leave when the park closes at 6 p.m. on Wednesday - with a stay in a child-friendly hotel overnight. This hotel looks and sounds fab, they run a special kiddie-s check-in if you're going to Legoland, where the child gets fussed over, and receives a colouring book and pencils plus a Lego toy, how cool is that. Plus they've got a nice looking swimming pool, so we'll be able to have some fun there as well. Cost an arm and a leg but not too bad as I've been squirreling a few bob away for a while. Sam is already VERY excited.

Yesterday was a good day. I got back into the gym thing last night, and now only have three spaces left on my gym record sheet. Plus I finally lost some more weight. Thursday is weighing day, and yesterday I was down 1.4kg from last week, which was a big relief. My target right now is to be overweight. Right now I am such a bucket of lard that I am one of Britain's obese middle-aged lazy gits, and I really want to leave that particular category. First target is to move from "obese" to "overweight", and to do that I need to lose another 4.6kg. No particular rush, I just want to get there. After that it's a long trek to move from "overweight" to "normal" - as from now I am 17.2kg away from that, zoinks! That's 2 stone 10 pounds for you dinosaurs out there. Anyway, it was nice to finally see some progress after five weeks at the gym.

It was a good day all round yesterday. I picked up Sam from school at noon and we had a lovely, chilled out time all afternoon. On the way home Sam told me how they had been learning all about diwali, together with a ten-headed monster, monkey soldiers, and lots of candles called dipas, which they weren't allowed to light in case they burnt the assembly hall down, don't remember doing that at Sleaford County Primary School in 1974? Best bit of the afternoon for me was when we watched a video together - not Bob The Builder, not Fireman Sam, not even Return Of The Evil Dead Zombie Love Slaves From Hell IV (This Time It's Personal). We watched one of MY old videos - "Now That's What I Call Quite Good" by The Housemartins. Sam loved it and we laughed along at the band's crazy dancing and the catchy songs. What a great band they were. So, The Housemartins have a new fan. Sam scoffed a mahoosive tea, we had a very wet and messy bathtime, then back to his mum's. Great day.
