    Sorry but a fascinator to me sounds like something a Burlesque performer would use!


    Absolutely what I was thinking! :eek:

    I'm well thanks L. Have you had any time to look for houses recently? What are the prices doing near you?

    Indeed they are! Our very own Lucielle is going Dita Von Teese on us! They're now very fashionable and have lost the raunchiness that they used to have and are very respectable - shame.....

    What kind of gal do ya think I am?!!

    Well its official OHs last day is a week tomorrow. He's already clesned out his locker. Tis a bit scary chaps, going to need a bit of hand holding. OH is suddenly getting doubts now but I'm sure this is the right move but still very scary.

    DD1 has done very well tonight, she asked the next door neighbour if she could do his garden, bearing in mind its not been touched for over 12 month and he said yes. He said how much was she thinking and she said £10 and he's offering £50. It is going to be a big job and I've told her that it is her project, she's got to earn the money.

    Work has been very busy and did an 11 hour day. DD2 is very pleased with herself as she's qualified for the next round of the area athletics. We took the hound for a walk and she jogged most of the way and we have some serious hills. Mind you she did resemble a beetroot!

    We al went to watch the olympic torch last night and had fish and chips for tea. Glad the weather managed to stay dry. Also got DD1 another gardening job, from a lady on my course. I did purchase a trowel as I snapped the handle off mine last year.

    Weather is yukky today and so glad its very nearly the weekend. I've got my sister coming (eek) next week and have booked Friday off. Hoping not to fall out but I'm done with biting my tongue. She can give everyone the benefit of her opinion so I'm sure she can benefit from mine!

    Off to the gym tonight, first session. I've bought shed loads of deep heat so shouldn't be in too much pain tomorrow.

    Have a good day peeps.

    I have got some serious catching up to do on your diary Lucielle.

    I need to find out all about the outfit, the fascinator ( I am currently in search of one and came up with an entertaining google search the other day whilst looking ) More of that later. I will catch up first.

    Good luck at the gym. We joined last month, went loads initially, but I havent set foot in there for the last few weeks ,although in my defence it has been particularly busy. I will get back into some sort of regime soon I'm sure !!

    Enjoy if you can !! :rotfl:

    Well I had my first sesh tonight and I can still walk. Gutted though as snapped the elastic on my goggles and they're perscription ones, so need to get that sorted. Didn't get in until after 7, OH was just 'thinking' about cooking despite being in for half an hour. The chap has set me up a training programme, think I was knackered after the 5 minute warm up! Went in the sauna and had a swim.

    Feeling a bit knackered now. Managed to get into work for 5.45 am despite forgetting to set the alarm. Just about caught up from all the leave I took last week. Payday to look forward to next week. Need to get my car tyre looked at as it keeps going soft. OH needs to get the trailer tyre mended as its completely flat and will probably need to be replaced.
