  • Sound's like a good plan Grannyx and different to what you've tried before. Well done on starting immediately, that's the spirit!!

    As NL, so rightly points out, there is still time to make a real difference before XMAS, so while the rest of the world are piling it on, we'll be emerging from our chrysalis.

    Woohoo go Granny!

    Stomp and stomp and stomp. Don't forget swing the arms as if trying to (inadvertently) pop HIM on the nose.

    Best thing is you can up the number of times you do this to your hearts content just keep the focus and the image of the face on the step to make sure this is proper grrrrrr factor

    Hope the day goes OK for you - trying to look busy here - might actually get some work done too!

    Thanks again for you kind words and glad the picture made you smile Piq x

    Had an ok day yesterday, achieved a fair bit in work, called to see DDIL2B after work and as I bought something to eat not a nsd but a lsd.

    Rang DD last night and on the phone for 2.5hrs, so OH not going to be happy when he gets the bill. Still I can't remember the last time I rang her from the landline, probably xmas. It was so nice talking to her and so can't wait to see her a week today :D

    Not totally decided what I'm going to do today, OH in work and its very cold so at the moment I'm just lounging around on the laptop. About to do my stair thumps in a mo, that'll warm me up. Climbed the 3 flights of stairs 3 times yesterday, instead of using the lift, picturing HIS face on every step. :D

    Tried my dress on again this morning and I don't know if I'm wrong but I think its a bit looser. Looks really nice and I'm keeping the jacket I got last month as I like the style on it. Need to start wearing my shoes every day now to break them in properly. Also need to check tights and undies, although only need knickers as Basque dress and no need/room for bra.

    Anyway, off to stair climb, may be back later. Only 7 days until I see my baby and 11 days to wedding :D

    Well nsd #11 today as had a quiet day in the house ignoring OH after he came home in a bad mood from work. Had the cheek to ask me at 8.30 why I was in a bad mood. Blinking men :mad:

    Just found out the call to DD last night possibly cost £60, oops perhaps I shouldn't have chatted so long, but once in a year is really not that bad is it. Don't know what he's going to say when he finds out and BT tried ringing him today to discuss. I think he thought it was a marketing call so he didn't answer it. I'm sure they will try contacting him again. :o :eek:

    3 lots of stair stomps today with alternate treads for HIM and OH :D

    Not sure what I'm going to do tomorrow, coffee with OH perhaps, although I currently don't know if he's working or not.

    Hope you all had a good day x
