Becky, my sickness passed at 13 or 14 weeks. Throughout my whole pregnancy, though, I disliked the smell of chicken cooking. It didn't make me nauseous as such, I just couldn't bear the smell.

We're eating very 'conveniently' at the moment, because of the kitchen renos. DS13 is at my parents' place every day with the dog(best to keep her away while the work is going on) so he has lunch there. My lunches are tending to be whatever I can grab (mostly breakfast cereal) and dinners aren't much better. We're living on convenience food and I am so bored with it. I am SO looking forward to cooking a roast dinner! Maybe this weekend.

Healthy eating plan coming up soon, when these renos are over. I bought some salad at the supermarket so there's a start! I haven't eaten salad for months. Any interesting salad ideas, anyone?

In a couple of weeks DS is going on holiday with his friend's family. I have an unheard of five days to myself - whatever will I do with all that time? The trip is Monday to Friday, so not much chance of a night out - my friends have work the next day. Lots of lazing around and reading, then
