okay, so not entirely sure if this is going to help with weight loss - but it did get me (and the kids) out of the house yesterday afternoon in my "Danger Zone" time (3.30-5.30)
People walking by stopped and stared, some commented on how it was wonderful to see such innovation and to see the family working together, others (mostly) just gave a side glance and a snigger....
I did not care! I was not in my kitchen, I was not snacking, not even the kids were snacking.
So what were we doing I hear you say, well, for 2 hours, the three of us (me & 2 children) de-weeded our double drive using nothing but a steak knife and a screwdriver!!!! - today, 24 hours on, we still have mud ingrained in our fingers, nails which are scratched and broken, and the odd ant bite that needed savalon - but we had fun, and we talked, and we laughed and we met a neighbour we've not spoken to before - I felt proud.....
That was until my husband came home, and declared "you know we have a tool for that in the shed?....(4 seconds pass)....look here it is, (its copper brush on a long handle and the bristles fit between the bricks), you use it like this.....(demonstrates, and what took 3 of us 2 hours, would have taken 1 of us 10 minutes) .. I now feel a bit like a child slave owner and slightly guilty about the ant bite.....
I made upside down jam cake to make up for it.....and I didn't have any 
Hope you're all having good days today too.
