Pad Thai a Winner

Well, the Pad Thai dish went down really well, I will definitely be making it again. Plus I was surprised how quick and easy it was to make. The whole process only took about 10 minutes, so it is definitely a dish I will consider on evenings when I am a bit pushed for time. The kids all thought the noodles were great fun (like skinny spaghetti apparently) plus the liked the lime and squeezing it all over the dish!

We are off to see my sister in London this weekend which is going to be lots of fun, if not a little tiring. I am hoping to try and get a bit of Christmas shopping in and take the kids to Hamleys, although I am dreading the busy busy streets. Still though, my sister has agreed we should have a nice relaxed evening in, so perhaps a cheeky takeaway and X factor – how lovely.

Decisions, decisions, decisions…

Well I’ve got to say that I managed to pick up a lot of warm clothing, from thermals to sweaters, to gloves for the children however, sadly I didn’t buy a coat. H&M had a nice one but they didnt have my size. Instead I decided to buy some nice cardigans – perhaps I should wear it to the coffee morning with the girls this week. Mmmm coffee – I love the smell of it!
Around the house we have been pretty low key with the added positive of the children being good and have helped me a lot during the dinner times. Being a keen rider and the owner of 2 beauties in the past, I would love to have a horses again and I’m sure the children would really take to it however, I reckon it’ll probably have to be something that will actually fit in the house. Micheal and I discussed getting a family pony a while ago, and unfortunately the finances mean this is unlikely; especially with the house DIY being a top priority right now.
Looking forward to the weekend… Perhaps we will pop into my friend who has two horses!
