Well I’m back at my parents and although they have the internet my access is limited so I’ll just be popping by now and again.

I flew back yesterday morning and wahey I didn’t need the seat belt extender. It was even almost comfortable to sit in the seat (thankfully it is only an hour flight). I got a dead leg but hey it’s been worse.

The food situation wasn’t good almost from the get go.  I have very little control over what I’m eating here and my mum is kinda trying her best but it is far from ideal.

Luch yesterday was steak with a jacket potato, which isn’t too bad. Dinner was a takeaway nan kebab with donner and chicken tikka. I’d gone upstairs to check my e-mail and when I came back down it had been ordered. My mum said she thought it would be better for me than a pizza or a curry. Well it might have been but not having a takeaway would be even better. Plus my parents seem to drink everynight and were trying to suggest better choices for me. In the end I had a shandy using one can of beer for the whole nights drink.

I had my porridge for breakfast. It was the one thing I insisted on. Today lunch was braising steak with mashed potato. It’s one of my favourite meals and not unhealthy in itself but it isn’t low GI and I’ve been falling asleep all afternoon. It has also rained all day so a walk was out.

They’ve gone out for a couple of hours to listen to a singer and they’ll get some food there so at least dinner is my choice. I just have to work out what I can eat in this place. Nothing is fresh and the freezer is full of ready meals but hey I’ll think of something.

Tomorrow is my 27th birthday and we are going out for lunch (I have no idea where) so it is going to be a guilt free day. We were due to go to my favourite Greek restaurant on Friday but that has been canned, so again I don’t know where we’ll end up.

Oh well, I can deal with the outcome of this week, next week but I’ll keep trying to keep things going as best I can.

I’ll try to blog again later in the week. It’s time I went to find dinner before they get back.
