Good Evening

Hope you are all well, I am not even going to attempt to catch up, I have soooooo enjoyed this time off my work, lazing about in PJ's until 10 or 11 or 12:eek: although still flying/working whilst having them on, its great not to have to get up at 6 and shower etc to get ready for work even though I feel bad about lazing about but I deserve it I havn't even saw any carp on the tv so am gutted about that but instead of gettting up at 6 I have been getting my coffee and going back to bed with the books ppl got me as pressies and it has been great

OK... I've just signed up for fitbug via my work health insurance, so:

a. I have three spare pedometers if anyone would like them...
b. does anyone else want to join fitbug... as if so I'll do a referal...

It's extra motivation for me, as if I do enough, I'll earn points towards things like spa days, reflexology etc on my health insurance plan. So I'll be using this for my health drive...

Hi GB if you still have these i would love one please xx

Did I mention I'm watching Hamlet with david Tennant , not sure I like the slicked back look and am not used to this shakespearen lingo!

Sorry this is OT but its snowing AGAIN really heavy, my DH has spent the last three days (when he has a spare half hour) trying to clear our front path and the bits of the driveway we walk on from the car to the back door of snow and now the whole lot is totally covered again so he is gutted, I tried telling him earlier it was a waste of time but he would have just thought I was annoyed because there were things he could have been doing inside, am not worried though, I have plenty food and my BM if I get snowed in lol!!!!

Sorry! All gone... but check out the supermarkets as some of them have them in the post-christmas reductions.

Well I've read soappie's masterpiece, and I have to say I'm very impressed I hope she wasn't checking her email every five minutes, as I was downstairs reading for a bit...

Might go and have a bath ... or I could go to bed early in the hope that I actually remember to get up at a sensible time tomorrow!

Thanks pigpen for putting ironing on the list this week - hope it has helped some of the ladies to get caught up a bit even if they dont complete the challenge.

thats it for now


I never got anything done in the BR as i decided to pick off the chicken from tonights tea and so i have chicken for sandwiches etc and the carcass is in the slow cooker overnight to make stock - I probably wouldnt have bothered by tomorrow so at least its not wasted now.

I am off to bed now - going to read for a little and think about what needs doing tomorrow in town.

special love and hugs as always to Lady L xx

love and hugs to the rest of you too - its hard to believe its the last day of the year and I for one will be happy to see the back of it.

sleep well all
toots xx
