‘When LittleStuff went to Legoland (and rode on the Atlantis Submarine Voyage)
Yesterday we headed off to Windsor, in the rain, to try out the new Atlantis Submarine Voyage. After the soggy dash across the car park (did I mention it was raining?) we queued with the other journalists, bloggers and celebrities asked to come and try it out (Alex from Cbeebies was very lovely to Pink-the-4yr-old, and yes I should have been less polite and just asked for a photograph with her), and then skidded our way down the hill...

Thinking Slimmer – 1 week in.
So a week ago, I started listening to the Slimpod for under ten minutes a day. I didn’t diet. I didn’t make any conscious changes to what I was doing. I didn’t set out to starve myself of all things delicious in my usual I’m-Losing-Weight-Now fashion. I DID notice changes. Differences in my relationship with food. Changes in my food choices. Differences in my eating habits. Today I stepped on the scales. I had...
