    Put on 0.5lb at fat club but no lees than I deserve. Been riding today, felt good to be back in the saddle even if it was an exceedingly quiet horse. However did make a t*t of myself getting off. I always get my foot stuck on the back of the saddle so I was determined not to and flung my leg right over and couldn't land it and ended up in a heap! Only my pride was bruised!

    Got auto glass coming in the morning which OH will be sorting. DS1 has got an interview for college in a weeks time. Told him to get his thinking cap on and get some good questions prepared. Off to ease the muscles in the bath as I know my bottocks are going to be sore!!!

    :jam so happy you got to go riding again and glad you enjoyed it. will you be able to go again?

    0.5 lb was probably the muscle you have built up with your new furniture moving business :)

    Maybe you have a chest infection? Have you been to Dr?

    DD has still got a long running cold even tho she has had antibiotics for a chest infection.:eek: Poor thing woke up with her eyes stuck together this morning as she now also has an eye infection in both eyes. And not to be left out DS hurt his back at work yesterday and is now lying flat out on the floor at home with hot water bottles and heat pads and pain killers:(

    Personnally I'm glad to be at work .........:rotfl:

    Weight gain is defo due to over eating. Riding is booked for 2 weeks time and I'm not very sore this morning just a bit achey in the inner thigh area.

    Autoglass managed to find us after 4 frantic phone calls. Sat navs are a pain as they never find us. Car is now back in one piece. Moved 2 carpets for friend. OH is taking DS2 to orthdontist tomorrow and we are babysitting the schools guinea pig for the hols so he'll get that when he drops him off.

    Now on my own in office as colleague has gone to the land of Oz for a holybob. Means I can nick the heater as its freezing.

    Very achey today, just glad I live in a bungalow and don't have steps to go up. Finished work today and now got a long weekend ahead of us. OH is busy trying to persuade the dishwasher it does want to work after his triump with the tumble drier.

    DS2 is sporting some very fetching braces and has got the shool guinea pig home. The dog is eyeing this furball with great delight and licking its chops.

    Going to have a family night and watch St Trinians 2 and have splurged on some naughty nibbles and alcoholic beverages. Hoping OH will have a good wage tomorrow as I've no school dinners to fork out for.

    Lucielle what was the problem with your dishwasher, mine is broken too and we think it may be the element. I wonder if it is easy to replace!
