You can run up hills :eek: That's impressive :T

Did you get the shred dvd?

Made it to the top of the hill again

I probably won't get the Shred DVD because that will mean having to be quite disciplined and doing the exercise at home in the evening and I have quite enough to do in the evenings as it is. It suits me to run at lunchtime and whilst it won't get me quite the same results I am staying toned all over

OnePoll have just paid me my £40

magicgirl

glad you got your onepoll money.

I admire your running. I have got the shred dvd to do as soon as i can start after giving birth to this precious lump i am carrying. I find dvd's easier as i don't have to leave the house and its always been a lifesaver being able to access exercise routines in the home but its also good that you are busy int he evenings. (At least i hope its a good thing? I only really do the cleaning i have been putting off.)

sounds like you are making some really good progress. long may it continue.

Welcome magicgirl - when is your bump due?

I did a special pregnancy dvd when I was expecting but as i was used to step etc I found it far too easy and didn't think i was getting much out of it although i know you're supposed to take it quite easy I think this is the fittest i have ever been but I really went downhill when my DD was about 4 - i think i went up to 10 stone (i'm only 5ft 2) and was doing virtually no exercise. Am back down to 8 1/2 now which I am happy with. Just need to stay away from the chocs

Our pool at work is open now so we have been going in for a dip. It was my birthday on Monday and asked for 32 degreees and I got it

An hour before the massive thunderstorm yesterday we were in the pool. Seems incredible how quick the weather can change...

I have put some gig tickets on eBay for WLM - he can no longer go and the auction ends in an hour and they have 6 watchers. Very excited so hope I can get him his money back

They sold for £30 :j an absolute bargain for the buyer as the total face value was £75 but WLM is getting £37.50 back from the friend who let him down originally (the reason he can't go now) so in total he is only about £10 out of pocket.

Bump is due 8th August. So not long now. 8.5 is a very respectable weight for your height. I am a little shorted than you and started my preg at about that although amin the 11st bracket now. still, I have plenty of time to lose it after. Like you, its more important to get fit than to be skinny now. (although what i wouldn't give to be a size 6 again.. lol)

Do you still pole? I still haven't got dh to put his hand in his pocket for one yet.. lol

Not long to then, so exciting

Yes I still pole, only once a week but sometimes that is enough That will get you back into shape after the birth if nothing else will - although make sure you leave it 6 months before you try anything.

Another day in paradise....

I think it looks hotter than it is though so today I'm going for a run and I definitely need it. I have had 6 cupckaes this week all laden with buttercream

Ordered a top in the M & S sale, kind of defeats the object with the delivery charge but I really am very short of time to go shopping.

Bought a short flary skirt from Asda the other night. It will do fine for holiday over a bikini (which I also need to get). Must start making a list of things I need. Mum is going to take me clothes shopping as my birthday present plus I have some M & S vouchers from various surveys I have done.

Still waiting for my cashback from Quidco

£3.65 on OnePoll - but the site is much much quicker now :T

I have been AWOL....

Lots going on, had an extra pole class last night and WLM babysat for me. It was great, I got home to the table all laid, wine poured and bath run for me. Fish and chips for tea - perfect.

Also got DD's school report and SATs results yesterday. I am so proud - the report was glowing (to say the least) and she got Level 3 in all aspects of her Key Stage 1. Level 3 is above the national average - they try to get all pupils through to Level 2. I am just so so proud of her.

I went to her last assembly at the infants school this morning - felt quite teary. She had a couple of speaking parts and was loud and clear and just beamed through the entire performance. I love my little girl

Have fallen off the DFW wagon in a big way. never mind. I get paid next week and all my holiday money is sorted so I will catch up with myself.

Applied for a post office credit card last week through Quidco for £50 cashback. It hasn't tracked! So annoying because I was accepted straight away. Now I have the hassle of sorting that out, but i will because £50 is well £50
