    Hungover....
    I am definitely too old for boozing and dancing these days!
    A quiet day recovering is on the cards - not looking or feeling very fab - but I had a fab time (I think!):rotfl:

    Now I agree on the drinking but I am never, repeat never too old for dancing ;)
    Hope you're feeling more human by now :beer: <
    hair of the dog ;)

    Sparkles good luck catching that fish ;)

    Maman I swear this week I've felt like we are headed back to autumn and was quite ready to break out my winter jumpers again! Not sure I can bear to show my bare legs, pregnancy has left my best feature with some less than best additions in form of varicose veins :(

    Not much going on here. H been in bath working today and won't be home til late so have been on my own entertaining kids. Just basic pottering. Might try some yoga although gardening yesterday I've managed to hurt my wrist and don't have full range of movement :( still shouldn't stop me going swimming with kids tomorrow which I am looking forward to.

    Have wonderful Saturday :)

    Morning! I'm better! Although I doubt I'll be boozing for a while.....;)

    The hangover has subsided, I must have slept on and off for most of the day yesterday - I did manage a few dog walks and cleaning the house but other than that yesterday was a write off.:o I'll admit to a little daliance with another teacher on Friday - I doubt anything will come of it but still it proves I've still "got it" if I try :rotfl:Well it has been almost 3 years!

    So today will be a getting things done day - I need to do the shoppng, clean the car, get some exercise done and sort out a little bit of schoolwork.

    Need to do a bit of restorative work on me too - a face scrub, nails, bit of tanning etc to make sure I don't look like I've been dragged through a hedge backwards when I go back to work. Just one week to go until the holidays - roll on Friday!

    Fabness for me then has been a long dog walk and a 6 mile run coming in 2 minutes quicker than last week which was a nice surprise considering it felt very slow at times. Just having a little rest before getting on with a few jobs and some reading for uni as I put it off all day yesterday!

    Hi all,

    Not having the best weekend. Got the call yesterday morning that my grandma has passed away. Wasn't exactly unexpected as she's been declining rapidly for a while but must admit still doesn't make it much easier. Still she apparently went very peacefully and after all the pain and confusion she's been under for the past 6 months or so then I guess that's something. Waiting to hear on the funeral date as two of my uncles live abroad and are trying to sort out flights back.
