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
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

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
I need to look at it in termsof a two-pronged attck; stage one was losing the main chunk of weight (done
) 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
- collect ds 'space landscape' from library (paint wasn't dry when he did it)
- bike ride in the forest this afternoon
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"Nobody made a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could only do a little."

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
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

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:Mortgage Total: £50,720/ £75,000

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!0
