Jan 31st 2008sallyMassage course
Last night as you know by now was college and massage course night.
First we had to get our test on the blood circulatory system out the way , I had revised hard all day as it included two diagrams that we had to label.One was of the heart.
It was also explained to us how our assessments will work.
Basically we decide when we want to start being assessed, enter our name in a book fill out all the paper work and away we go. Caroline ( our tutor ) will then discretely watch and asses us .
The sooner we start being assessed the better really as then we will find out where we are going wrong and have plenty of time to correct it. There is no limit to the amount of times we can be assessed either.
I think most of us have decided after half term would be a good time to start.
My client last night, was the kind of private client I would like.
Chatty, encouraging and she made it clear that she enjoyed the massage which was very good for my confidence.
My client and her husband are booked in every week now till the end of the course, so I expect I will get the chance to massage her husband too.
If Kathryn is not quick to book a massage at the college she may be disappointed as the beds are filling up fast.
I now have my Sally in Norfolk business cards so will soon be on the look out for my first clients.
Almost forgot, I passed my test with 14 out of 16 so all in all a great evening…

Tesco has been promoting healthy eating in all their stores.
This has also been promoted in the staff canteen at my store with free healthy food for us each day.
Fruit, salads, dips with fresh raw vegetables and fresh fruit salad were just a few of the things on offer to us.
We also had a competition to guess how many pieces of dried fruit was in the jar.
Well it must have been my lucky day, as my guess was the nearest at 127 , the actual number was 129.
The prize was the jar of fruit….

If only I lived in Downham Market
I could walk to work
I could walk to the gym
I could go swimming and walk to the Library
I could walk to the Train station
I could see my friends out side of work, and join them at aerobics.
And that’s how I feel today….

The housing association that own my house has a scheme called Just Rewards
Just Rewards is a special package providing a wide range of benefits. To be a member you just have to pay your rent on time through out the year.
I qualify to be a member but don’t use any of the benefits,although at Christmas its nice to receive the £26 in high street vouchers.
Like most mum’s I spend most of the treats on my boys, so we decided this year we would get Prison Break season 2 but too our amazement it was still £60 when we went to HMV to get it.
For a change I decided to treat myself with the vouchers.
So here is my gorgeous pink leather Radley purse….
I will just have to start watching the Lost series as Andrew has season one and two . Prison break 2 will have to be put on hold once again

Like most people, after Christmas I always have a few extra Lbs I need to loose.
Not helped, this year by my week in Les Gets and all those Vin Chaud’s to keep me warm on the slopes.
I didn’t feel I needed to go back to slimming world, as I was in the right frame of mind to do it on my own.
So I decided I would go back to an old favorite of mine, who just happened to have a new book out.
For almost a week now I have been following Rosemary Conley’s GI Hip and Thigh Diet its been easy and I have lost 2lb so far.
Her book has become my bible it goes everywhere with me.
It has 4 weeks of set daily menus if you want to follow them or sections on breakfast, lunch and dinners if you want to make your own daily menus.
It also has some great recipes to help you along.
One of my favorite recipes so far has been the Potato and Broccoli soup:-
1 red onion
115g of potato chopped
2 gloves of garlic
1.2 liters of veg stock
225g Broccoli
Place onion, potato and garlic in a saucepan pour in the vegetable stock bring to boil then simmer till potatoes are cooked.
Add Broccoli and cook till tender blend till smooth , season before serving.
This is enough for 4 servings…. but Matthew liked it so much he almost polished it all off in one go.
The book cost £3.49 from amazon , money well spent I think.
