Posting list ready for tomorrow!! OH can't believe how much I'm getting done everyday!! He's really noticing the difference!!
Tomorrow is workout day for me though so not sure if I will get as much done as other days. I bought 'My fitness trainer' for the Wii and its greta - like my own personal trainer. I can design my own workouts and everything!! I've set up my little timetable so I do 15mins 3 times a week and then I can still do my step and rythymn boxing on the WiiFit too!! I lost 2lbs last week and am determined not to let it creep back on!! Can't afford to buy bigger trousers!!!

Evening all, despite BT's best attempts, I've managed to get online again (had an outage!)
Diva - hugs and healing vibes
Dusty -I posted the mags to you today. Let me know when they arrive safely? Don't feel guilty about enjoying the garden when you get the chance! And the sandpit - if it's already a designated square as it were, [strike]could you just take the sand out, replace it with soil and use it for a contained veg patch.[/strike] Oops, I see others beat me to it. But haven't I heard somewhere that asparagus takes two years to grow? I could be very, very wrong. Another thought, if it's ornamental in the back garden and it's sand there could you turn it into a little feng shui type thing with a small water feature and a chimara or something for cooking on? Depends how big it is really ETA - I mean chimneria of course! ETA again to say the proper word - chimeria (doh!)
AnW's - re the tax -mine still not been adjusted this evening - that's 48 hours now!
Johanne - well done on the dentist and hugs about the OH and work thing. And I'm with mudders on finding the right dentist. I dread mine retiring or moving!
Pigpen - hope you're feeling better and top news about little Tabitha. Give her a cuddle from me when you get to see her
Rach -make sure you use up that training budget!
Trikes - hugs hope you start to feel much better very soon.I do think it's funny that you bank ethically and have shares in a dodgy bank, and soappie encourages us all to shop locally and owns shares in a dodgy supermarket :rotfl: Next step for you both... invest ethically!
I've only started doing the shop locally crusade when Mr T started taking the p1ss big time in the last few months. But I take on board your comments. I have oil, food, communications, computer systems and banking in my portfolio. I'm not selling them just yet - that would be silly given the current state of the stock market. But, I'll see if I can find a little something in my reserves to add 'ethical' to it. Perhaps you could PM me with some ideas.
Flew quite well whilst I had my internet outage. All I need to do now is make the pheasant soup (chunky stew really) for dinner and that's me done for the evening.I am the leading lady in the movie of my life

Triker you are doing great for somebody so poorly, I really hope you are better soon hun
Soappie - thanks, I hope they arrive before my weekend away cause I can take them with me.
DS3 has just hit a hot water pipe with a dart - water spirting out, fortunately in the garage - that rad has now been isolated so hopefully the rest will be ok.
Right bath and bed time.The birds of sadness may fly overhead but don't let them nest in your hair0 -
Well, I've found a few courses, main problem is my lack of desire to study. Since putting my doctorate on hold I'm just not interested, but I know that for my future career it's worth it. So far I've come up with:
a half day course in the alexander technique (posture etc)
a course in nutrition
a course in life coaching skills.
Guess I need to think about it and get signed up!
Feel a bit sluggish tonight, guess as I didn't get out for more than 15 minutes today. Need to do DH's lunch for tomorrow soon and print off some stuff I need for the morning...Mum to gorgeous baby boy born Sept 2010:j0
