    My diet is still not going to plan again, but last nights encounter has left me feeling smiley today, and that has given me a bit of a kick up the you-know-where ;) So tonight I have disciplined my eyebrows before defuzzing, body brushing, pedicuring my feet and generally making an effort again :o

    So I need to get focused on fitness again, I have two main reasons now; (a) I want to look fab in court when I watch ex and his g/f in the dock ;) (b) I need to firm up before new-found friend comes over from Philadelphia :D

    No idea yet Pinklady, depends when his next work conference is (they pay), so I've probably got a while yet, but I will need it to get these wobbly bits in order :o I need to look at it in termsof a two-pronged attck; stage one was losing the main chunk of weight (done :D) and stage two is fitness, losing the remaining half a stone or so and getting rid of the wobbles and generally focussing on being more groomed and lovely :)

  • Good to hear you are feeling smiley again BBAM. Have you got much planned for today? We've got quite a lazy day today, have a small job to do this morning and then hoping for a DVD or craft or reading afternoon, or even all three!

    DS starts in year one next year so i want to keep his reading going as he got quite lazy with it towards the end of reception year and he seemed to have a crisis of confidence with it. So have bought him some ben 10 reading books ( they are comic style but i think he could read most of it quite comfortably as he's a confident reader) in the hope that they re-ignite his interest!

    Have a fab day whatever you have planned!

    Today we have a few bits planned, nothing major;
    • food shopping (new co-op has opened oppostie us so may go there instead of tescos)
    • junior scrabble (taught ds how to play last night and he can't ait to do it again :))
    • thankyou letters
    • book reading (space hop challenge from the library, have completed one out of six so far)
    • davina dvd :o
    • collect ds 'space landscape' from library (paint wasn't dry when he did it)
    • bike ride in the forest this afternoon
    I also need to do some housework as the place is looking like a tip again :o I have a few bits to return to Next too, not sure if that will be today or tomorrow yet though. Next thursday we're going to Legoland with a friend from school so also need to check out tescos deals for tickets. She has a spare adult annual pass but its in her husbands name and am not sure if they check??

    Hiya

    We've got the space hop challenge too, DD loves the card!!

    I can't get moving today.... need some of your get up and go! I offered to take DD to the cinema to watch a kids AM film but she didn't want to.

    I'm not too sure about camping at the mo, pennies are really short, and I know it's not expensive really but it's the little extras. Maybe we could do a day out instead? I've got a parking pass for Lepe so we could always go there crabbing? Let me know what you think xx

    Yep thats fine Tigz, I know exactly where you're coming from re. the pennies, there are so many things I want to do this holidays but money is the dominating factor :o Let me know when would be good with you, ds has a crabbing line but hasn't used it yet so am sure he'd love it :D

    Thankyou Elantan, will go and check :D
    I've activated my blockbuster code and you have to add titles that you'd like sent to you and they choose which one you get; I have gone for slumdog millionaire as I never got round to seeing it and 5 davina dvds and shred :eek:

    Just activated my Blockbuster code too - thanks for pointing it out;) Needless to say there will be no Davina dvds on my list - and definitely not that scary-sounding Shred:rotfl:
    I really need to sort out a new signature!
