    relax...

    And the new format.. you get used to it. I've been on it for pretty much a year or more now! Some of it is exceptionally useful.

    You need to stop panicking Mrs. You're amazing at what you do! xxx

    Thank you Lilt! I do get easily overwhelmed sometimes, but can usually sort myself out and get the focus right.


    Today is a new day, albeit a chilly one. The sun is shining, dh is taking dd to school, so I can go in nice and early and get on with lovely paperwork. Must ensure I don't get sidetracked...

    Off to make breakfast and eat it in bed!

    Well, I made breakfast and took it upstairs, only to discover that dh had gone back to sleep! So no reading in bed whilst dropping food down me for me!

    So I have got myself a new fitbit friend - thank you stepup. I may end up with more fitbit friends than ones in real life...

    Hi apple, not sure how I have missed your diary up until now but just read bits of it to catch up and and be able to pop in and say hello :wave:

    Well done on all your steps. I am a shred fan too, it's ideal when you don't have hours to spare as is intense but over quickly!

    Hello Cath, thanks for popping by.

    I'm not exercsiing at the mo as the cold I started last Sat is still lingering with weary muscles whenever I walk to far or go up the stairs too fast. Zshred aint gonna happen while I'm like this!

    - stuffed a snowman, and other limbs
    - sewed up somt more bits
    - whites wash
    - online marking started - needs checking by my leader before I can continue, rest to be done tomorrow when dh takes dd to dance (it's the weekend of the church's coffee + cake morning, so he usually volunteer for it!!!)
    - yummy lunch downed: 7 veg salad with hm mayp and 2 hb eggs, then rocket, strawbs, cottage cheese and cream. And not a bit dropped down me...but then I'm not wearing a white top...

    To do before school run:

    - turn limbs right way round
    - post some bits to sell
    - put clothes away

    Well, I started with the exam paperwork and it took an hour to complete. Ugh. But I was in no rush so it was ok. Then I had to post stuff, and get proof of posting + receipt, so trotted off to the PO.

    Got some bits posted for sale. Dh says he can put a poster up at work, so I need to do that too.

    A friend paid me back £40 today. I'm putting it aside and will use itto buy some running shoes. Nope, I don't intend running a marathon anytime soon, but I've wanted some for aaages and sportsdirection have good prices. The same friend paid me back a while ago with a winnign scratchcard for £5 which I cashed in today. So I have £45.

    Ha ha - just realised how good a bit of running will make me feell - as I whoosh through the step-league-chart of fitbitters! Maybe some people will 'unfriend' me like you can do on fbook...!
