Fighting The Flab

Earlier in the week Kerry surprised me by telling me we had  an evening to ourselves, it was a great surprise. Now don't get me wrong, I love having the children around, life certainly isn't dull with them and all the clubs and bits they do. In fact I think its great. Its also amazing how Kerry managed to do it all on her own for so long, I know I wouldn't have been able to! Kerry being Kerry, not happy with the manic 1000mph life she lives at the moment took another step forward by taking on a 401 qualification at work (course, exam, more work etc) and going full time, which also started yesterday. So, we had some stuff to celebrate (I am amazingly proud of her) and an evening with no children.

I asked Kerry what she would like to do, and she started talking about going to the cinema etc and the normal stuff we would have done, however I didn't feel this was enough to mark this occasion, so started plotting and planning. My first port of call was The Boatyard in Leigh-on-sea, which is Kerry's favourite restaurant, but they were closed for a wedding, how inconsiderate! So I had some work to do.
