Afternoon all!

Well I'm feeling a lot more positive today after a good workout and a good night's sleep.

Managed to get to legs, bums and tums class and it's nearly killed me! I was put to shame by one lady who looked like she was in her 70s and was much fitter than I am. Don't know if I'll be able to walk tomorrow. Must have burnt off a fair few calories doing that class. I managed to weigh myself today as the scales (missing last time I went) magically reappeared today, and I've lost a little bit of weight. Will update my sig in a minute. Body fat has gone up a little bit, so it's probably water that I've lost, but I'm still going to count that! lol Did the workout after weighing, so you never know, I may have burnt off that fat again.

Went to Mr T afterwards cos had gone to the gym before eating breakfast, as it's not a good idea to exercise on top of eating, and picked up quite a few bargains. Accidentally went down one aisle whilst on the phone to OH and found that my moisturiser has been discontinued, and they had a Gillette After Shave Balm reduced too (not the one OH was after, but I'm guessing it'll be similar). Bought him 2 quiches for his lunch for him to freeze from the reduced section.

Since I've been home, I've hoovered the carpet under the fire again cos more soot and stuff had come down. Will go and put a load of washing in the machine in a minute and see if I can reduce the mountain inside the bedroom door.

Sorry I missed you Lady L, but glad to hear that you're ok.

Hugs to all of you who are going through breakups and illness at the moment.

Welcome to any newcomers - you'll really start to see a difference after a couple of weeks of doing this, and you'll be able to do your lists really quickly. Some rooms for me take longer than others (eg the bedroom cos that normally involves clearing laundry and changing sheets) but you'll be amazed at how little time everything starts to take when you've been doing it for a bit. If you haven't tried one yet, have a go at the HHCs (half hour challenges - get as much done in half an hour whilst using a timer) as they are great for motivation.

Well best get that wash load on.

Huge (((((hugs))))) for MOJT

Hoovered DD'S room while I was up there and noticed that she had written, in biro, all over the drawers of her new bed as well as some of the frame and the side of the desk. Have got most of the ink of, but in some places she has scratched the wood with the pen. Have taken out all pens/crayons and pencils from her romm and debating if the cinema is still to go ahead tomorrow!!!!
Sorry abot the whinge, given myself a headache now!!
Cuppa and chill.........................

carol22_2

Rosepink - mine don't really hurt, they just annoy me and look disgusting. I use burt's bees foot cream (got it for xmas) but i'm really bad at remembering.

Thanks for the voucher tip MOJT - my mum is coming to visit at the weekend and I think we might go and see this on saturday afternoon. If not, the boyfriend will be dragged, he owes me a film (we take it in turns to choose).

In my HHC I managed to:

Put a load in the WM (i'm 1 load off being caught up!)
Rehung the washing on the airer (its bedsheets so the middle bit stays damp otherwise)
Picked up all my shoes from the bedroom floor (they dont fit in the wardrobe)
Vacuumed the floor in the bedroom
Emptied the vacuum (eugh)
Put all my shoes back neatly and in pairs!
Opened the airing cupboard, stared in it, and closed it again.

Time for Diagnosis Murder everyone! :coffee: and lunch afterwards I think! Help yourselves - :coffee: :coffee: :coffee:

Afternoon all, where has the day gone. And I have done nothing, except clear out my inbox, 1 load of washing, 1 load in TD and gone for a some bits of shopping we needed.

Kids have been driving me up the wall again, IS IT MONDAY YET!!??
I am going to go and do some flying from 2.30 and I am not stopping till my bedroom is done to level 3, and the stairs are cleared and hoovered. I'll then start on the living rom, its not to bad so wont take long at all.

We were going to have DP's aunt over tonight but they have canceled cos the poor kitty is dying. She had a thyroid problem for a long time, they took her to the vet today and he told them she's at the end. Poor thing! She has had a good long life tho, hope she goes quickly!

Right, need to make a cuppa to take flying with me. Back soon.

scaredy_cat_2

phew did my hhc and still only just about managed to clear floors!!:eek:

will hoover when get back - off to friends with dds now. Tea mainly done as i have leftover mash from yesterday and fish cooked ready to make fishcakes.

see you later

juliejim

In my HHC I:

Prepared bread pudding - yes I know I did one yesterday!
Did packages for Toots and pigpen
Deleted some emails while getting said addresses

I need to go into town to pick DH's prescriptions up, go to PO and get 1 or 2 bits. Kids don't particularly want to go though - they want to go out on their bikes but I haven't really got time to do both as DD has got her swimming lesson tonight.
