It's the weekend!

And I'm curled up on the sofa on a Saturday night with a cup of lemon tea!

The kids had friends over last night for a sleepover, and the parents are good friends and drinking buddies of ours too so they stayed for the evening. Polished off a vat of meatballs and rice (with tons of chargrilled peppers and garlic) along with some rum, several bottles of wine and beer and a large packet of chocolate biscuits. Amazingly didn't have a sore head this morning and managed to rustle up some pancakes with Nutella for the kids, and then ran around like a crazy thing getting the house ready for yet another viewing. Oh, forgot to mention that after agreeing the house sale before Christmas, our buyer pulled out last week after getting back together with her estranged husband. Very nice for her of course but leaves us back at square one - but very luckily the people selling the house we want are willing to wait for us.

Then popped to the pub for lunch and conveniently forgot that I'm back on WeightWatchers - and managed to order the worst thing possible on the menu! Lovely gammon, egg and chips though, and am sure the walk we had negated some of it;) A nice nap on the sofa followed by watching Robots with the kids, and think an early night with a book is in order now.

Tomorrow Little Legs is off to her first proper party, I'm hoping she'll stay by herself as softplay is my idea of hell. There is a Magnet showroom nearly so we'll pop in there to browse for kitchens - I know we're way off agreeing the move but we can still dream! The Husband is cooking lamb tagine from Jamie's 15 minute meals for dinner, and we might open a nice bottle of Barolo to go with it.

So, although we are still desperate to get this new house, we're still aware that we might lose it and so need to fall back in love with this house instead. Last night we agreed that if we end up staying, we are going to install a cocktail bar in the kitchen! Probably won't be as flash as it sounds, just a breakfast bar with some funky red leather bar stools, but we'll stick a couple of optics up and dress it with an ice-bucket and my new chilli fairy lights that I got for Christmas - and probably have a party to christen it! Suddenly excited about staying here...
