    Just been down the beach with DS, it was a lovely evening and a wee bit more exercise that didn't feel like it. I am officially rubbish at footie though.:o

    I bought a whole load of plants - they're currently outside making "garden" impressions...

    Just need to do that watering thing too - and they might survive.

    Guess how good a gardener I am...

    sounds nice, pretty flower type plants or veggies? I have lots of flowers in my garden that were here when I bought the place and just reappear year after year thriving on neglect!:o I want to grow some veggies though. But walking on the beach is always more attractive than sorting out the garden... lazy, moi?

    Well your feet should be used to obeying your commands. I have the grace and coordination of a hailstorm.

    Important thing to remember in football is that the harder you kick the ball, the less likely people are to save it. They value their hands too much...

    speaking of exercise as we sort of were... I really want to join a gym again.... not done anything about it yet but have a back problem which flares up when I don't exercise and it's been bad lately. soooo might give it a go soon, was waiting till DF but I can afford it, it'll make me feel better and more to the point my clothes bill will be huge if I have to replace all the clothes that are now too tight!
    NSD today - boss bought lunch. not that it was at all healthy but yum!
