Hi

I'm in again this week. I bought a bike on Friday with a seat on the back for Ds2. I thought it would be easy:rolleyes: we went for a 40min bike ride yesterday and it almost killed me:eek: . My bum is so sore:o . I think i'm going to have to build myself up gradually. I bought it with the intention of riding to the nearest town which is about 1 and a half miles away instead of using the car but i think it'll be a while before i'm ready for that.

Well done Luby-lou.

I think you did brill holly!!! I got a bike for Christmas and I think I've managed all of erm half a mile cough. In my defence, I've never cycled in this country, only did it in Australia, about 100 years ago when the weather was always lovely and there was no traffic!! lil_me is another one who is 'getting on her bike'

I'm in and I'm setting myself a challenge :eek: I want to start getting up at 6am and doing an hours work out with Davina again (going to put it in the DVD player tonight, and move the coffeetable etc out the way so it is literally a case of coming down and switching the TV/DVD on ), having a quick bath/wash hair, dressed, make-up and then get DD up around 7.45 to have breakfast etc before school. I'm sick of slummy mummy, I wanna be a scrummy mummy :rotfl::rotfl:

THEN my next challenge is ... to not do ANY housework from 8.40am (when I take DD to school) until 4pm No I haven't lost it. My first assessment is due in a week on Friday and I want to get it done this coming week so I can spend half-term having fun with DD. I want to get some ebay stuff done to list on Thursday. But mainly I want to trial some "routines" before I start work in September :eek: It could take until then to find one that works :rotfl::rotfl:

So my list is this :

Dailies :

• Exercise (M)(T)(W)(T)(F)(S)(S)

• WM/TD ([strike]M[/strike])(T)(W)(T)(F)(S)(S)
• Finances (M)(T)(W)(T)(F)(S)(S)
• Blog/email/forums (M)(T)(W)(T)(F)(S)(S)

hmmm depends what you mean by paranoia. I was going to answer no, to begin with, it starts with tears and snotters. Then I remembered I felt like everyone was talking about me and thinking what a malingerer (sp) I was for being off my work. I guess that is paranoia eh?

I think that stopped when I started the happy pills (still taking them)

Luby-Lou - well done

Pink Fairy - cake looked wonderful and looking forward to seeing AnW's copy!

SSL - thanks for answer re viewings - hope you get an offer from your viewing today

Hollyh - as has already been said, think you'll be surprised how far you covered in 40 mins and I have to say that as someone who struggles walking or cycling uphill, I now think that cycling completely on the flat is even harder as it is constant and you never to get to freewheel. So even if you end up walking up the hills just look forward to/remember no effort going downhill!

Will do bits of list this week, OH will do most but as he is away again on Sunday for 4 weeks we'll be trying to fit in a couple of days out, also need to get on top of paid work and do some training for the walk, only 3 weeks to go :eek:

It doesn't matter what level says 'clean windows' I never seem to be able to copy that onto my list so my personal goal is to clean at least one window this week - don't I aim high :rolleyes:

skintscotslass

pink fairy - yes it's me thats checking with her polis mates

michelle - when is your MIL coming to stay? That'll be nice for you. She can do your flying and you can spend all your time with DSs :T

Where has the evening gone? I know I've spent a large proportion of it on this site, researching menu planning. Oh AnW'sMum, always stella in this house but I dont like lager so enjoyed my cider instead. Have found a new one, Kopparberg fruits of the forrest. Tastes just like blackcurrant cordial. Which is probably a bad thing...

Right, bedtime for me. See you in the morning xx
