Legoland and ProPoints

Good morning people and what a miserable day it is. Thankfully I am working from home today, so I've not had to venture out into the wilderness, but tonight we are off to the O2 to see the legend that is Peter Kay, so I think I'll have to brace myself for the onslaught of the elements. Very much looking forward to seeing him, I've heard a rumour that his warm up act is Rick Astley! How cool??? (just me then?!)

I've had a lovely weekend with my nieces, but goodness me, children are exhausting. Hat's off to anyone who manages to look after them full time. A weekend with them and I need a week off to recuperate! I think my sister and her hubby enjoyed the break as they went into London on Saturday to see a show and have dinner. Nice for them to have a child free day.

Legoland was good, but it was so ridiculously busy on Saturday due to the Fireworks. All of the rides had at least an hour's wait, which was somewhat disappointing, but the girls seemed to enjoy it all the same. We walked their little legs off - mine were aching by the end of the day, so I can understand why they both fell fast asleep in the car on the way home. I managed to get them both straight to bed from the car without waking them up, so me and Matt could have a Curry and some Wine in peace. I slept very well on Saturday night, I can tell you.

They were very excited to see a mini Angel of the North - something they are quite familiar with being little Geordies!

Lovely day, but Legoland is so expensive. If you go - take food and drinks with you or you'll be bankrupt!

Once again I have not pointed this weekend, but I don't think my eating has been too out of control. Yesterday we went for Sunday lunch, then me and my sister took the girls for a walk along the river to the park while the boys came home to watch the footy, so more exercise of sorts. 

Last night, after we had reclaimed the flat, Matt and I went to the Cinema to see Red. A very enjoyable end to the weekend.

This morning I've logged onto the WW website to see  the new ProPoints plan. I now get 40 points per day (it was 26) and 49 extra points a week to spend. It all seems fairly straight forward, I just need to get my head round the new way of working out points and try to forget the old points system as everything is now much higher since it also takes into account protein, fibre and carbohydrates and no calories. You also can't carry over points daily, but can dip into the extra weekly allowance. I am feeling fairly positive about the changes and hope that it will be the kick I need to get me back on the straight and narrow.
