    Sexymouse - I have been to the gym... cardio, weights, abs, stretches... and then I did some emergency shopping... how about you?!

    Well done for going!

    I went to Lidl first cos I wanted to get a heart-shaped cake tin to make something for Valentine's day. They'd run out in our store, so I had to go to the next town and luckily they had a couple left (not the cup-cake ones which I would've preferred, but the big cake tin will do). I had a look in Matalan next door whilst I was there, cos I wanted to get one of those silicone baking sheets, but they didn't have any. Then I went back to my local Mr T to get said baking sheet (£4.89 but I used a £4 off voucher). Then to the gym, where they'd run out of towels. :mad:

    I ran 5.25km on the crosstrainer today, but unfortunately my weight and body fat have remained the same - still, maintaining is better than putting it on. I've forgotten how many calories I burnt cos on the way home, my break warning light came on again (some of you may remember me spending a fortune a couple of days before Christmas replacing my break cylinders because this happened). SO, I called the mechanic, who said bring it over, but when I got there, he had too many cars in to have it up on the ramp, so I've got to go back again tomorrow morning for 8.30am - another day off work.

    Just got home and showered and washed my hair, and will get the washing in from the garage in a minute before I dry it and have a cup of tea to console myself.
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

    i have done all the washing and ironing!! yeah :) all that's left is a couple of socks in the bottom of the basket that i missed!!! i even washed dd's teddys off her bed. i also ran the machine through a 90oC clean cycle.
    the fire brigade just ran to say that they can't come today coz they have been called out on a job so they have rearranged to come in march instead.
    dinner is cooking in the slow cooker-chicken curry left over from dinner yesterday, i got a huge free range chicken from the butcher for £4.50, and still have some meat left to do another dinner with yet. much nicer than a rubbish chicken from tesco.
