Wagamama fun and a New Car

So since I posted on Monday I've lost another 1lb not as good as my weight loss last week, I grant you, but every little helps.

I have gone a tinsey bit off the diet way as I had a fantastic dinner at Wagamamas. Okay it's a chain but I think the food is really good and with having a toddler a meal out anywhere is a special occasion. 

We had duck dumpling for starters. I had a cheeky glass of fizz to go with them.

Well why not... 😄

Then for my main I had Firecracker chicken.

It was very spicy but oh so yummy.

The hubby had teriyaki soba.

I did have a dessert shh don't tell my diet club. I had Banana Katsu, battered banana with Salted Caramel ice cream it was so yum. I dread to think the calories.. 

Apart from the normal work stuff and the amazing up and downs of being a parent. The little one is still not sleeping properly but I getting us to running on only a few hours sleep. 

I bought a new car yay.. So excited.. Although I need to wait till March to get it. I'm getting a Suzuki Swift, in black. 

So good news for me as I've got my own car and great news for my hubby as he gets his car back..

Also it's a 5 star safety rating with ISO Fix which is so important for the little one.

I think it the perfect combination of safety and style... 

Happy New Year

As a mother of a young son I will be spending this New Year in front of the telly with my lovely family, trying to stay awake lol.

But I hope you all have a fab time.

I will be posting my resolution over the coming days. I've decided if I write them down and share them it's harder for me to pretend I didn't make them lol.

I hope to stick to all of them, I'm feeling very positive about 2015 and I hope this feeling lasts. I think it will as long as I stay focus and happy.

Any who enjoy the night and of course the New Year :) 

A Week of Ups and Downs

So not been the greatest week in the Dyslexic Cooking Mum household the little one has a cold. 'A cold? that's not so bad' I hear you say; but with a baby if they don't sleep you don't sleep and congested babies are not the best sleeper. I truly believe this is what they should teach in Sex Ed classes in school. Simulate a sick baby and I'm sure that would bring down the teen pregnancy rate. 

This then developed into tonsillitis. So that meant a trip to the Docs and a bottle full of Meds. He's hasn't been the best at taking medicine but he is getting better. The problem I have is they are always a fluorescent colour and stain. Im sure one top is ruin for good Grr.

Compounded by the fact I'm getting a bit sick of work. Can't be too hard on my work as they have been really helpful with accommodating me coming back to work as a new mum and all the stresses. But I'm feeling under appreciated and under used. Being tired isn't helping but if I'm going to travel in, leaving my Son, I want it to be for something good or at least more stimulating. Know I shouldn't  moan as I know I'm lucky I am that I even have a job and the fact they are so flexible. ( I'll try to be less whiney) 

Last bad thing of this week and it's only Wednesday is they taking down the big hat in Disney Hollywood Studio. 

I'm a big fan of the hat and will miss it when it's gone. Like the Tree of Life, Cinderella Castle and Spaceship Earth I love the way you can see the peak of it (along with the tower of terror) when you walking through the car park up to the main gate. Fingers crossed they replace it with something wonderful and all my moaning is in Vain. 

Hasn't been a total disaster of a week even though I've had no time for cooking I've managed to sample two Christmas Sandwiches the Marks & Spencer's 'Count on Us - Turkey and Butternut Stuffing' which was nice if say a 7 or of 10. Good points is its low in fat so don't feel to guilty about munching it. 

I also had a Pret 'Turkey Stuffing and Cranberry Sauce' sandwich it was AMAZING I am giving it a 10 out of 10 it was so yum but very calorific. Also didn't help I had a sneaky mince pie which was also delicious (will definitely be getting another one of those) I now worring about my waist line lol.

Another nice thing my wonderful Australian cousin sent the little one a belated birthday gift of a Bon-Jovi onesie and a CD with all their songs in Lullaby form. 

Obviously not everyone's cup of tea but both her and I are huge fans so now mega excited to start introducing my son into to the world of Rock yay. 

Last thing which was a good bad thing. Due to Victoria Station being closed this morning my train got diverted to Blackfriers. Although that did mean I got to amble through the city getting to the central line and I got to pass St Paul's in London which is a fantastic building.

Well fingers crossed it all up from here as I have a free weekend ( well as free as it can be with a 1 year old) and I plan to get some baking in yay..
