    The computer keeps eating my messages, Taxi: it's putting me on a virtual WWs plan! :mad:

    Things sound good for you at the minute. Here's hoping they stay that way, and that message in a bottle really IS a genius idea! :T

    Hi Taxi,

    I have cleared my spare room of boxes this afternoon, it took an hour to break they up and take my details off. it appears that something i wanted to keep i may have put for to the dump thinking i don't use these, bin them. Thus means I will have to buy new ones about £80.00 never mind these things happen. saturday morning im shredding my paperwork, but my machine can only do about 5- 10 mins at a time or it overheats so may take all day, but one job done. Sunday weather should be ok I'm taking the girls to my DH alloment for 45 mins work, great. Plus side this week i got my hair cut by a friend who is training to be a hairdresser and it looks fab. i also think that I should spend my time with my DH using orange wednesday code, and buiying him and his mother a present they will both love don't cost much only £13.00 each.
    How did the gym go?
    I hope you have a nice weekend.

    So pleased that you have picked yourself up after a few down days

    The fit and positive attitude for 2011 is great :)

    Might be joining you on the swimming front I think I might have found a possible swimming teacher for the little ones I want them to have one to one to start with because after DD fell in the pool both of them are scared of water although thankfully they have both been in the pool since but feel they will do so much better with someone who can take time with them and hopefully I will get a chance to swim too.

    Hope your Marisota stuff has arrived so you can make a start.

    Have a great weekend.

    I know....it just kept flowing as I started to write it
  • My list evolved today- although i am very happy pottering around doing things. I think i am a born potterer..:rotfl::rotfl:

    Wowee Taxi: surely all that housework is a workout in itself?! ;)

    Can I make a suggestion? I find with things like the gym and in my case, practicing music, unless I make it my no1 'I've GOT to do it' priority in the day, it tends to slip down the list until 'there's no time to do it' in the evening after all the other stuff has been done (or not quite, if my 'to do' list is impossibly/optimistically long), then 'cos I haven't done the other stuff, the gym/music can't be done'.

    I don't know if you are like me, but housework always seems such a priority that I never quite get round to the 'other stuff' as much as I intend.

    I need to turn my days upside down. :) I know that your fitness is a massive priority for you, so don't end up like me constantly doing housework and not getting your top priority in there. ;):)
