and everything in it’s place.
My house is back in some semblance of order following a trip to Ikea where we purchased more toy storage – a unit which holds 6 deep boxes for the living room and 2 smaller units which hold 12 smaller boxes/trays for the kitchen. I have spent today putting away toys and sorting out colouring pens/pencils/crayons. I still have toys everywhere (where can you put an easel, a toddle truck, an ice-cream truck ride-on thing, a ball pool filled with a few hundred coloured balls etc etc) but the smaller things at least have somewhere to live now 
. Oh did I mention that we already had a storage unit/library in our living room and a Merchants chest with 10 drawers in our hall all filled with toys? The sooner we get a bigger house (with a BIG playroom) the better! I want my lounge back!!!
Apart from that the diet is still going well. Still haven’t done Wii fit or EA active or been out for a run but that would crazy right now with the snow and ice covering everything. But I am sticking to the diet so that’s something! I’m going to keep a daily food diary here (for myself more than anyone – to stay on track and to look back on if I run out of meal/snack ideas).
