Been busy

I guess having 0% time to yourself stops the old blogger.

Its been so busy lately I don't even know my name anymore.



Anyway, I am back now. I've just finished my lovely dinner, a home-cooked Pasta Bake thing which was amazing, can't believe I made it myself. The rest of the gang is sound asleep so I guess the dinner will have to wait for them.



Exciting stuff in Somerfield today. Security guards carried a trailer-trash woman out to the office between them, and she was shouting and screaming, shoplifter no doubt, unless she was trying to sell heroine by the dairy counter. Ooooh, the draaaama.

Other exciting stuff...went to Chiropractor, again, for my stiff and painful neck. The last few times she's asked:

- Is it ok if I do a bit of acupuncture/dry needling on you?
And I've just replied ...yeeees, in a very small voice not wanting/daring to say no.

Every time she's done it, its got more and more painful so TODAY I was going to say:

- Actually, would you mind NOT doing it. I really don't like it.

So I lay down on the bed, facing down and tried to breathe through the paper sheeting (not very successfully). I waited for her to ask the question. But no....all I hear is some rustling...?

Hang on, that sounds like....needles being taken out of their wrappers....noo..???......and before I get a chance to say: no needles right? BAAAAAAAAAAAM, in goes number 1 in my left shoulder, BAAAAAAAAAAAAM goes number 2 in my right. FUCK!!! And then she twists them and ooooooouuuuuchhhhh.

As if that wasn't bad enough I then feel my throat getting ticklier and ticklier and with 10 needles cramping in my back I start to cough. Nooo, I just wanted to cry. My poor muscles were in so much pain.

NEXT TIME I will say NO NEEDLES as soon as I step through that door, before I even say hello...

Facial Peel or Face Wash?

Dermalogica Kit for Acne Prone skin - not recommended.

Used the Face Wash last Sunday and my face swelled up and became red. Its now the Sunday after and I've just started peeling. Lovely...
It was more like a Facial Peel to be honest with all that Salisylic Acid in it.

Its gone straight in the bin.

Lovely little snack

I have just discovered Mikado Chocolate sticks. MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM. Yummy. Something like 11 calories per stick and they are so moorish its unbelievable. Feels like I am snacking on large matches or something!!!

Bring on the lazy days of Summer

This little (?) beauty is now residing in our garden by the pond. We built it yesterday and oooooooh its so lovely. I can see myself relaxing and reading the Sunday papers in it... year 2065 maybe!

Shame its raining today otherwise I'd be out there!
Sunshine come ooon now. Where are you?

Burek

My first attempt at making Burek.
Its in the oven at the moment, ready in 15 minutes.

New Buggy

How exciting can it be to buy a new baby buggy?
Apparently very! I am so pleased with it, our new Maclaren xlr buggy.

Its loooovely and little Jessie will be able to lie flat in it, which is perfect. Got a huge sunshade so additional sunshades/parasols etc will not be needed. The steering handles are extendable so even tall old me can walk straight!!!
Perfect for the holidays coming up!
Can't wait!

All wrapped up

I went to have a Universal Contour Wrap last Saturday. I didn't quite know what to expect, but it was part of my detox to try one. I was wrapped from head
to toe in bandages soaked in mud of some sort, that smelled really nice. Then the lady popped me in some kind of spaceman suit to keep me warm and I got to lie on a bed for AN HOUR reading magazines and listening to relaxing music. I don't know what I enjoyed the most, the wrap or the peace and quiet.

Afterwards my skin felt incredibly soft and still does 4 days after! She measured me before and after and all in all 6 inches had disappeared to god knows where.

I thought it was great going from a Busy Mummy to an actual Mummy!!!

Detox

Today I am heading to the shop to buy 22 apples, broccoli, cucumber and god knows what else. 5tarting my 3 day detox again after eating too much rubbish, and drinking too much. I feel tired and sluggish but hopefully by Friday I will be back on track. On Saturday morning I am having a Body Contour Wrap, which I am both dreading and looking forward too. Will report how it went after the event.

Love and Like

Love this series - Lipstick Jungle - its just the perfect girly night tv-series. And of course, its worth watching for the reason shown in the picture below:



And now I've started watching Cashmere Mafia (as L. J season 2 has finished) and was not impressed with the first episode, but its picking up and liking it too.
So if you fancy a girly night in, pour yourself some wine and light some candles, and lean your eyes on either of these series.

Old Phone - New Phone

Sony Ericsson W300i - been a great little phone, really nice, but now its started crackling like fireworks in my ears after having been dropped on the floor about 145 times.

So, kindly Orange has upgraded me to this beast below:

Aww, schweeep schwoooo, a Blackberry!
Hoping I will be able to text with that QWERTY keyboard, will take a while to get used to I reckon. But the best thing will be to watch our shares live on my mobile! Saaaaadddooooo!
FTSE - here I come!

Swedes

Meeting a Swedish mum tomorrow afternoon! Can't wait!
Hopefully my Swedish will be ok...

Heja Sverige!

My dress - in Paint??

You try drawing drop-pockets with a wiggly paintbrush. The black scribbles on the right are my bangles. And the leggings are slightly shiny. Plus the boots are a bit higher I think. Necklaces are black and pink. There, now you know.

Shopping -finally....

Sorry about the silence, have been super busy the last few weeks. Even days where there is nothing in my calendar, just fly by. Cooking, cleaning, playing, feeding, putting to bed, waking up, feeding dogs, shopping, tidying, GOD knows what.
But most days I try to get out with the children to get out of the boring housework.

Today, no children. Ellen in nursery and our babysitter took Jessie for the day while I went to the hairdressers to get some highlights done. Very pleased. If you swap Hayden's face for mine, you'll get an idea of what I look like. Plus my hair is ever so slightly darker than hers.


After that I headed to Lakeside and found myself a dress plus accessories for Saturday, when we're all going out for my sister-in-law's 30th birthday. Stand-up comedy, buffet and disco. Should be a good night. Will hopefully get time to put some photos up of the little outfit I got.

Footsie

Well who would have believed it...
Friday afternoon I dash to WHSmith to buy "Shares Magazine" and "Money Week", then when both children are in bed in actually read the two magazines from cover to cover.
I have my own little login at London Stock Exchange and a little Portfolio and Watchlist and get Email alerts about the shares as they rise or fall below a certain point.

Oh my god, what have my life become??!! :)

What's new?

Just carrying on as normal, playing with our children, going to the gym, playing with our children some more, tidying the house, sleeping, jumping on my trampoline, body pump, drinking smoothies and juices and cooking lovely steamed meals.
Not much to report really.

Oh apart from a holiday on the 17 March - Cayman Islands and Washington here we come!

Christmas

Kick those baby pounds

I am carrying on with my healthkick in 2009. Last week I got myself a mini-trampoline and am now bouncing around for 20 minutes every day. Very good and I can really feel I've had a workout the day after.
