Like the smell of freshly baked bread...

I've come back from the offshore trip with a sense of determination. I feel as though I want to achieve things and get things done, whether that be lose those extra few pounds or spend more quality time with the kids. BFS re currently pondering our priorities in life and I suppose I feel as though I need to justify myself first.

It's only been two days, but the kids have been up dressed and shunted out of the door early enough to either walk or cycle to school, washing has been done, dried and ironed daily and tonight I even made the bread I'm going to use for BB's packed lunch tomorrow. I've made a point of heading to bed just after the kids for the past couple of nights too as I want to catch up on sleep so I can start knocking off the tasks on my list with gusto next week. (The ones I can achieve in the dark evenings indoors anyway!)

Although he says his glass is half full - BFS has been slightly sceptical about my newly resolved self, and he may be right! In his words 'let's see how long it lasts!'
