  • Morning, DD deposited at work, hounds fed, TT of 81p to MOS.

    S&S over £100 - I think I need to claim soon
    Must check CP

    Glorious morning but no idea what the weather forecast is like :eek:

    No shopping to do :T

    I need to think of a healthy and easy lunch as DS is cooking.

    Have a good day, Tilly x

    I'm hoping after a month or so my fitness levels have improved and there's less muscle ache :o

    Now you see that's the fundamental difference between us. I'd be hoping that after a month I'd be looking like Cindy Crawford and could stop all this exercise malarkey ;)
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

  • Habibiboo, I went back to bed, fell fast asleep and have woken up to grey grey grey sky :(

    I'm a pretty motivated and enthusiastic person but this weather drives me MAD :eek: is it too much to ask for seasons, a cold, hard winter, blue sky, sunny summer?

    Anyway, I'd better get some jobs done - airing cupboard to empty, sort and put away. Cake to make, fridge to clean (house), walk hounds.

    As I've been typing the rain has started - GG enjoy the sun for me please :)

    Revised out of window forecast: hissing down * shuts window * ... best wear your mac and wellies walking hounds Tilly, unless you can train them to spot the weather conditions and judge walkies accordingly ... mine have put themselves back to bed! :rotfl:

  • Hi Habibiboo, pouring here, although it has just stopped for a period. I can safely say the lawn has never looked so verdant :rotfl:

    Beats having the heating on :rotfl:

    I currently have one of my hounds cuddled up on the sofa - his head resting on a cushion :)

    The rain is definitely not motivating me to get stuff done today.

    Hold on to that sun, no matter how weak it is.

    Best wishes Tilly x x
