                    Morning,
What a glorious start to the day, seems a waste to spend it home...what to do, what to do?
After spending literally hours cleaning the house yesterday and making a gorgeous meal (if I dont say so myself, lol) DH came home, didn't even give me a kiss, snarffled the meal and then went and watched tv. Cheers for that. Felt like bloody braining him. He watched tv while I cleaned up, bathed the kids, put them to bed etc. Apparently his bottom is sore from all the hours on the bike. My heart bleeds. :mad:
Anyway, he is back to work today.
Tenmah-my friends always go to Elveden because its nice and flat. I have been to Penrith and Longleat (which was DEAD hilly!) and as everyone has said, you can chose to do as much or as little as you like. Personally, I would LOVE to do a romantic weekend there, you can get gorgeoous flats with log burning fires and just go for walks, go to the Spa, shop, lol. Someone want to find me someone to go with? :rotfl:
:rotfl:
Linda-I had one of the Dry Floatation treatments when I went to Longleat and I can say hand on heart, it was the best treatment I have ever had! (And I have had lots of beauty treatments as I used to work for Clarins and HAD to have every single treatment they did so I could describe it, hard life huh?)
I suppose I could do some laundry and hang it out but I would rather be doing anything else, lol

            It is absolutely blowing a gale here in the North East and freezing with it!
 Off out for lunch with MIL who is seriously getting worse by the day with her memory and grasp on daily things, she is keep forgetting that FIL passed away 4 years ago and keeps ringing us up to ask if he is staying here:(
 So lunch out with her (she says her treat but will probably forget and thank us for treating her after we have paid lol) then taking her shopping in Mr A.
 Bunny, your OH needs a slap with the DFW shovel, actually spank him on the bum with it seeing as though it is already sore.But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.0

            men are bloody idiots aren't they. They seem to think that cos we are at home with the kids that we have an easy ride of it.....grrrr......so when they come home they just want to relax.
 Anyway as mine upset me beyond belief on Friday night I spent all day yesterday shattered and did nowt so today is get the house tidy day. However, since OH made me sack the cleaners (cos they did nothing apparently) and he now sees that actually they did a lot, he has started to help me with the cleaning. So off I go...even though I have to watch him do stuff and grit my teeth instead of telling him he is doing it wrong.
 I have printed week one of the organized holiday countdown...:rotfl: lets see how long this lasts....Quality is doing something right when no one is looking - Henry Ford

 Cranking up to month end which starts on Wednesday.
 Apart fromthat I have booked 2 classes at the gym this afternoon - circuiy=ts followed by about an hour free weights, followed by a kettle bell class. Should sleep well tonight!!!
 Lost 1lb when I weighed in on Sunday so quite chuffed, especially as Aunt Flo is imminent and that usually is good to add a couple lbs:D. Was at a christening yesterday and wore the dress I wore for the 40th the week before and no sucky inny undies were required so progress all around I have to say it was the first time I went to one of these formal things and didn't feel like a total heifer next to all the dainty girly girls:o                        26.2.19/14.1.19: T MC 3629.26/3629.26 : VM 0% 1050/13876.59 : W 0% 100/1485 = 4409.26/18990.85 =25.17%28.1.19/28.1.19 Hubs 0% £400/£2,977 =13.44%SPC 2019 #073 I have to say it was the first time I went to one of these formal things and didn't feel like a total heifer next to all the dainty girly girls:o                        26.2.19/14.1.19: T MC 3629.26/3629.26 : VM 0% 1050/13876.59 : W 0% 100/1485 = 4409.26/18990.85 =25.17%28.1.19/28.1.19 Hubs 0% £400/£2,977 =13.44%SPC 2019 #073

 You've got a lot going on Bunny and you know yourself yopu need to be 100% motivated and dedicated to make real progress. Try not to be so hard on yourself.
 Actually, one of the mags I picked up has a full workout in it using no equipment at all - I thought it might suit you if you would like me to send it to you?26.2.19/14.1.19: T MC 3629.26/3629.26 : VM 0% 1050/13876.59 : W 0% 100/1485 = 4409.26/18990.85 =25.17%28.1.19/28.1.19 Hubs 0% £400/£2,977 =13.44%SPC 2019 #073

            That sounds good Luc-I am fairly sure a lot of how I am feeling is my thyroid again-the sypmtoms are all back with a vengence-not sleeping (or rather waking up in the night) painful joints, exhausted, basically knackered...I have an appointment with the Dr on Thurs...Empty pockets never held anyone back, only empty heads and empty hearts can do that -Peale0

 Sounds like they haven't got your dosage quite right. Hopefully Thursday will get it sorted.
 Remember Al's heart thing? He's got a 24hour ECG this week, on Thursday _pale_26.2.19/14.1.19: T MC 3629.26/3629.26 : VM 0% 1050/13876.59 : W 0% 100/1485 = 4409.26/18990.85 =25.17%28.1.19/28.1.19 Hubs 0% £400/£2,977 =13.44%SPC 2019 #073

            Morning All
 Weather lovely here so washing is in machine.
 Thanks for the info on Elveden Bunny. We had such a rubbish holiday in Somerset that I have been really worried that this one might be as well, but between Linda and yourself I am starting to look forward to it, especially as I will be driving in MY car :j
 Someone knocked on our door this morning at 4.30am looking for someone called Michelle. I didn't even hear them, but my daughter came and woke me up! I reckon this Michelle had given him the wrong address on purpose :mad:OD [STRIKE] £2600 [/STRIKE] £0 :j Loan [STRIKE]£9500.00[/STRIKE] £0 :j Car [STRIKE]£3150[/STRIKE] £0 :j Moving Costs [STRIKE]£1300[/STRIKE] £0 :j Savings £1150 :j

            Well I've been up since 5 trying to finish my dissertation but so far I'm still going through all the corrections my boyfriend kindly found for me last night. So tired but have no choice but to get this finished today, it needs to be sent off by Thursday morning at the earliest and needs to be printed and bound first :eek:
 Anyhow I'm planning on a couple of hours shopping with the BF and my brother this afternoon so that's helping spur me on...Debt free and busy treating myself:)
 No more toiletries/make up until I've used what I've got stashed since Jan 2011, graduated October 2012. Restocked Dec 13..damn those sales0
