Hi
Well I have had a good day so far........
Not having any wine tonight.

Must get out of the 'holiday drinking habit' and go back to just weekends.
Tonight I have made a chilli co carne - not Moroccan Butter Beans but still SW friendly.
I love Cous Cous - the Ainsley Harriott ones are very nice apart from the Tomato flavoured one.
Seahouses for the weekend - keep away from those chip shops.
Have a lovely christening.
Can I ask where you are going to in Cyprus - loved it so much going to go back next year.

Re: Summer diet - Again!!

Of course Irene, we stay at the other side of the island to where you stayed this year. We like Pernera which is right next to Protaras the beaches are gorgeous I think you would like it as we didnt rate the beaches in Limasol when we drove there. But each to their own :sun2

Re: Summer diet - Again!!

We are looking at Protaras area for 2010.
Hoping to book a villa again - now this is where I am fussy - quiet location of villa but close enough to local restaurants and a few bars to eat and drink at in the evening.

Re: Summer diet - Again!!

Irene I think you would love Pernera. There are lots of beautiful restaurants and gorgeous little coves and Protaras is about a 20 minute walk away if you want it a bit lively. Check all the restaurants out on the Cyprus thread! There is also a huge supermarket not far away so we will be stocking up on our first day so I can stick to plan a bit easier. The fruit there is gorgeous so I will be having pink grapefruit every day for breakfast the same as I do here and they were about .35 euros each which is much better value than here! and bananas to keep my little boy happy he is a monkey after all

Just had slimmers chips for tea with lots of salt and vinegar on them :tongue

they were beautiful I could eat them everyday!

Re: Summer diet - Again!!

Looking at Pernera earlier - some villas in our budget - getting booked up and hubby won't know his dates until about Nov.

We have to go in the school holidays.
Can you do me a favour when you are there - can you check if the large supermarket sells vegetarian food eg burgers, sausages (I know they will be very expensive), In Paphos we found the Orquidena (sp) supermarket sold them.
Thanks Irene

Re: Summer diet - Again!!

Hi
My friend swears by doing 'twists' morning and evening . Stand feet slightly apart and twist from one side to the other with hands out in front. I think she does about 100 am and 100 pm.
Problem area with me - I need to get some exercise done for that area on a regular basis.
Irene.

Re: Summer diet - Again!!

Thanks for that Irene I think I will have to do 500 a day especially as my hubby made pizza+chips for tea :duh

even though I had defrosted a load of arrabiata sauce and put the pasta on top of the cooker :que

It doesn't help that he is a stick insect he keeps saying lets cut down together then buys biscuits and cakes the very next day. I just hope our little boy Caleb takes after his dad (tall+skinny) and not me (small+round) :cry
