well got to get DS to tidy up :eek:before he goes to play school then I am of to Tesco's with DD

nicki_2

Morning all :hello:

OH decided to try a new routine this morning where he stays in bed (but awake) until 6.30 then goes straight for a bath - well thats thrown my routine out the window completely :rolleyes::rotfl: Usually I would get up at 6am do an exercise CD for 10 mins, 10mins meditation and then get washed, dressed, straighten our room and then get DD up at 7am before OH went for a bath. I'd come down with DD and make lunches and get coats etc out and make DDs breakfast while OH bathed and then we'd see him out to work and have brekkie and then I'd spend the rest of the morning getting DD ready for school. I am NOT doing mediatation or exercises in the bedroom while he's in bed So I got up at 6.15 got washed & dressed, came down here and sorted out coats etc, but was done by 6.45 When OH came down I went up and straightened our room and it was still not even 7am....now I have a choice I can either start coming downstairs to do my exercises/meditation every morning (and therefore freeze my bottom off as its so cold!) or get up later I don't know what to do yet. BUT I have just been out and bought some leggings from George (our improved Asda has re-opened properly save a few empty spaces on the shelves, and people wandering around lost :rotfl: ) and I'm going to start exercising DAILY - I got on the scales this morning and after a weekend of not being able to eat properly (don't ask :rolleyes: ) I'm down to 15st2lbs POST brekkie and school run and stuff I'm determind to hit below the 15st mark by next week Only problem is it's so long since I wore leggings I feel all bare :rotfl::rotfl:

Right, todays list :

• Dailies
  • [strike]Beds[/strike]
  • [strike]Bathroom S&S[/strike]
  • [strike]Dishes[/strike]
  • [strike]Kitchen S&S[/strike]
  • [strike]Packed Lunches for today[/strike]
  • [strike]Evening meal[/strike] In the slowcooker now as we're out to watch a fireworks display so it's sausage casserole (using the end of a stew from yesterday) with mash potatoes (frozen jacket pots skinned and will be margarined and heated up) on the hob waiting :drool:
  • Exercise DVD
  • Paul McKenna CD (now timed so I know it's just under 30minutes long - from now on timer on my phone is set for 30 mins from when I press play so I don't end up sleeping for 2 hours afterwards )
  • Wash load - Not today, did it all yesterday along with drying it and all the ironing :j
• Vaccum floor & sofa
• Dust
• [strike]Remove clutter[/strike]
• Damp wipe where necessary (banister, switches, coffeetable)
  
• Dry clean window (microfibre cloth - no pets so don't really get dirty on the inside, just dusty )
• Tidy understairs cupboard.
• Paperwork Clearance
• Wipe skirting boards
  

Oh, I meant to say last week - OH took the charity shop stuff to the shop at last, all 6 boxes of it :eek::o:j:D Now I can almost move in the understairs cupboard, just a few more things to work out whether to keep or get shut off

Right, off to [strike]cripple myself [/strike]do my exercise DVD - I will loose this flabby belly! :j:j:j
:wave:

Nicki - Are those Paul Mckenna CDs any good?? I saw a confidence once on Amazon that I was thinking of getting but have you found it making a difference (not sure which yours is for).

Toast scoffed, tea almost supped up. DD2 had her toast cut into teddy bear and cow shapes:D . Just about to sit down with it an meter reading bloke turns up, as he has to trapse through house to read meters was glad I had cracked on with the list.

I have also pulled the boss out of the hat for the secret sants - problem is I dont really know him as

a. I work alone at weekends
b. The firms a bit old fashioned as in he is called Mr XXXX whilst us menials are all on first name terms.

The budget is £5, I know he likes a drink so was thinking of making truffles . What do you buy the man who has a huge house here, plus holiday home in the South of France and Drives a Merc? Answers on a postcard please.

I have 3 of his books/CDs

• Change you life in 7 days (only just got this one as the copy I got from a charity shop didn't have the CD in it :rolleyes: )
• Instant Confidence
• I Can Make you thin

They do help - especially the confidence one Have a look on ebay as well though - thats where I got mine from Which reminds me I need to put them onto my MP3 player...if they'll fit :think:
