Well I didnt get to my Dads yesterday, ended up working Sunday night too .
Very grateful to be getting all this work lately
Not sure what to do today, am so tired I dont think I can stay awake again allday, didnt sleep very well yesterday.
Got some washing in the machine so will hang it out when its done (lovely day out there) then go for a nap.
Have to do day 10 of the Shred today and going to start the 100 push ups challenge!

Managed a nap and had to drag myself outta bed this afternoon!
Done day 10 of level 2 of the Shred woohoo
Also started my push up challenge http://www.hundredpushups.com/ Day 1 pretty easy but sure it will get harder...
Took a trip to A*DA for some fitness equipment they had online which they DIDNT HAVE INSTORE BOO!!! Bought myself a chick lit novel and some groceries. Decided to try their own Chosen By You teabags, I usually stick with the branded ones but have tasted them and they are just as good. More money saved for me .
Going to try get up early tomorrow to recommence the c25k, have to do it one of these days! Got an Eqyptian History talk thing in Glasgow Uni tomorrow as part of the Westend Festival, looking forward to it . Might go for a swim afterwards with my Groupon voucher.
I'm now into week four of my healthy eating/exercise regime, have a better idea of what I want to aim for now. I'm focusing more on fitness levels and toning, will check weight on the official Boots scales soon but in no rush to

I'd love that, love Egyptian history! I was quite excited bout the King Tut exhibit coming to Dublin till I found out it's not the ACTUAL artifacts, it's all copies, lost interest in it after that!

ooh another Ancient Egypt fan here too sounds really interesting!

nice one with all the fitness stuff - much easier to keep at it once you have been doing it for a while, your body starts to want/need the exercise and you start getting a proper buzz from it. She says, having had a busy one last week and done no Davina in over a week! :eek: I'm off to try Zumba in a bit, hope it doesn't wipe me out too much! :rotfl:

The Eqypt thing was great, and the room was packed so good turnout for it.
The first talk have on hieroglyphics, how they are put together and how to read them. The next talk was the history of ancient Egypt condensed into half an hour! So interesting, love hearing about all that stuff . I'll make it to Eqypt one of these days!
Started Level3 of the Shred today, ooooooft.
Back to work Wednesday night, then Fri-Sun night. Have yet to get to the gym, I want to go during the day when its not too busy and stay for a few hours.

I've just bought another 2 Jillian Michaels DVDs off Amazon, they were in the basket and I was informed they had reduced in price so decided to get them . Also 19 minutes from winning a lovely maxi dress on ebay, I really hope I dont get outbid as I'm strict on not going above my set amount.

Errr back to moneySAVING now

A hundred push ups.........mmmm.........interesting.

Fingers crossed for the ebay maxi dress

The dress is mine

A bit about the dress...not sure if I mentioned it on this thread before but I first saw the dress last summer in Jane Norman. I never thought I'd suit maxi dresses but had some time to kill so tried it on. It fitted perfectly (apart from being too long) and just clung to all the right places, I loved it. As I didnt have much money on me I left it in the shop and decided to go back another day. A few weeks later I went shopping for a dress to a summery doo and thought I'd get the JN one, I'd seen and tried many others on and none were the same. Of course when I went to get it they only had it in a size 6, which in Jane Norman especially is TINY, one of the shop staff phoned checked the stock in the other stores but there was none . It did appear online in the sale last Autumn but again only in a size 6. I've always wished I'd bought that dress and when all the summery clothes came out this year, again nothing matched up to it. I still popped into JN every month or so to look for it but never saw it again, also looked on ebay, ASOS etc with no luck.

Until a week ago...I looked in ebay and there it was! Brand new with tags and in my size . I used to look every month or so on ebay and finally it was there. It was a week long listing, I messaged the seller asking if I could buy it there and then, was going to offer £20 to start with but got no reply. The auction ended at £13.50 .

Woohoo, cant wait for it to get here, I'll have to get it taken up though...

Sorry that was a bit of a long, pointless story but I'm well chuffed

Hoopylass

not long and pointless at all! We have to see pics of the dress when it arrives!
