Couldn't be bothered to get up this morning. I'm not that I'll. Mostly fed up really and I'm sure the lack of exercise and proper food are part of it, but I just don't have the energy or motivation to do anything about either of them at the moment.

That's the problem isn't it - you know what will help, but you won't have the energy to do what is needed until you have done it and got the energy (I think that makes sense:rotfl:)

Triker - hugs and buckets of 'positive outcome' vibes for your DD

Valli - I was thinking I needed to have a wander round Primarni. There is nothing like an 'honest' mirror on the wall of your hotel room for making you consider the impression you were making:eek:. OK I was 'dressing for comfort' knowing I was going to be on several trains, but I still could have done better. Pri is a quick and cheap way of improving and working out what suits me even if I 'trade up' later.

Yesterday was DD2's birthday so we had a fairly busy old day.

We had our Orthopeadic Surgeons appointment and they said they need to operate, when...was up to DD2, as she is in so much pain she decided to go for it sooner rather than later so we're hoping for the school holidays as she'll have both her feet operated on and she'll be in a wheelchair for a while . Myself and hubby will have to work out our leave around the time so we can both cover this...bless her, she just wants to be able to dance and is determined to join the police force, that's her ambition.

Oh bless her.. I may have had a small blubber over that.. I hate dancing but can imagine she loves it so he thought it gives her pain upset me... I think I am a bit hormonal at the moment lol.. I've refused Tiddles op on her feet.. she can have it done later if she chooses but she isn't in pain.

for the following story please bear in mind that I am poor, compared with my family especially compared with my baby sister;

so I'm telling them that DS's GF works in Primark and was asked for, and sold a £75 gift card.
Baby sis was heard asking 'do Primark JUST sell clothes, then, or do they sell anything else?'

She's NEVER been in :eek:
she's also never been in New Look and wonders if there's one in Northampton.

I went in once and just walked through.. I was taking a shortcut I did manage to look at the shoddily made undies and the t-shirts that were mis-shapen before they were washed..

Baby full of snots and grots

Off to load WM's and TD and do some folding!

fedupandskint

Off to batch cook some veggie meals - lentil loaf or shepherds pie for tomorrow and tues

Then really will do a couple of hours studying when I can't find another thing to distract me

greenbee - I think that's right about how you feel. I went through something similar then when I joined T*sc0 diets last year it encouraged me to eat more veg and more fruit and drink more water to get back to where I once was. Even though I left the diets thing when I started exercising again cos it was too small(!) I kept up with fruit, veg and water intake. Alongside the exercise my mood lifted to a point it hadn't been at for years

That's why I'm afraid of getting out of the habit of running, has been difficult to keep going over winter (plus busy with uni and work) but when I go - like today - I relish the feeling of happiness it gives me (after, usually breathless and finding it hard work at the time!) and generally leaves me feeling pretty motivated and balanced out

I pulled out the cooker this morning to clean behind it before the new one comes. Then decided to do the same with the washer so all thats done. Cleaning cloths in washer on a hot wash.

Wondered why the cat was acting strange this morning. Went upstairs to discover he had been sick on the landing so that dealt with. He was hiding when I came back down.

Mudbath Hope you feel better and get home soon.
greenbee Hugs.
Triker Hugs and positive vibes for DD.

Hugs and spoons for those that need them.

Seafarers Wife, you need to put down the credit card and step away from the QVC :rotfl:

I have spent a good half hour searching online this morning - not found any replacements yet....

I don't think anywhere are selling cords at the moment (as I wanted some) as stores are stocking 'spring/summer' clothes, not winter..which I wlways find annoying,lol.

Dog tired today. Just cut OH's hair and taken a trolley and 2 bags of stuff to the local charity shop.
Now trying to work myself up to giving the bathroom a deep clean while lodger still away for weekend...sofa more appealing at the mo.

Afternoon all,

Well had a bit of a lie-in this morning (9.30) as I hadn't realised how late I'd gone to bed last night.

So far today, I've:

• put a load of bedding away,
• emptied and reloaded DW,
• done a 27 fling boogie all over the house,
• put kitchen gadgets back in their boxes and cupboards (my hand blender and all of its attachments and my foodprocessor had been out for weeks )
• Cleaned the outside of the toaster and microwave
• Cleaned the sides of the oven that are visible,
• Cleaned half the hob (I gave up half-way as my hands were wrinkling up, so will get back onto that after lunch),
• Put shoes away in the shoe cupboard,
• Decluttered some things from the sofa

I think that's about it so far. I've invited my Mum to come over for a cup of tea after she's been to the gym this afternoon, so want it all to look good. I did it deliberately so that I'd have motivation to tidy up and a deadline to do it by, as otherwise, I tend to do a bit, and then give up lately.

Well I'd better go and put the jacket potatoes in the microwave, or I'll get indigestion when I go to my exercise classes this evening.

Hugs for all who need them.

Cyclingyorkie - not sure if these or these would be any good to you - haven't looked at sizing and availability, but thought I'd post a link in case. There are these from cotton traders too - they have those ones in a few different leg lengths, but also have some other cord jeans on their website too.
