Magic

After not having a scanner for almost 4 months its now up and working again 🙂

Geoff not only got the scanner working but my printer now works wireless.

This means Matthew should now be able to print his own stuff off with out emailing it to me.

We have not tried it yet as hes away roughing it at Thetford forest for the night, part of his uniformed services course.

So here is the recipe I tried for the first time last weekend.

It was delicious although I would use less milk next time 🙂

Struggling

Once again I find myself struggling with my weight 🙁

So I decided to have a complete change , out went all the Slimming world books and in came the Rosemary Conley books.

I first used a Rosemary Conley diet 21 years ago after giving Birth to Andrew, I had great results and kept the weight off by following her plan for many many years.

Amazingly you can find Rosemary Conley on Twitter and facebook

She even has her own blog and a tv channel.

So there is a lot of help and information out there 🙂

I am finding this much easier to follow as it does not take so much planning.

Nice recipes to cook at weekends and meals for one during the week.

3lb lost in the first week so a good incentive to carry on.

Another incentive is having a wedding to attend in Italy in June 🙂

New Poster

I am always trying to think of ways to acquire new massage clients.

So now I have a great new poster to advertise my business 🙂

 

Many Thanks to Nick , for doing this for me.

I certainly owe him and his wife Mia a massage now 🙂

Double the Fun

Yesterday we met up for a walk with Sarah from www.sarahsgreatwalk.co.uk 

It was her last training walk before she goes off to do her Charity Great Wall trek.

We did a simple but lovely walk along the river to Waterbeach and returned by Fen Ditton

Not a long walk by usual standards but a nice 10 mile afternoon stroll.

Leaving time for Sarah to have a massage before she goes off to make her final preparations 🙂

We are keeping our fingers crossed that her flight will not be effected by the Volcano Ash !!

Then today it was out to Toft with the Cambridge Rambling club.

A truly beautiful walk done on a wonderful summers day.

The 14 mile route that Vera took us on went through 3 woods, where it was quite plain to see that we have finally left the winter months behind 🙂

The waiting is over

Finally my Mothers day gift has arrived 🙂 and it was worth the wait .

Its the complete Fifth season of Desperate Housewives to go with the other four seasons they previously bought for me 🙂

Now I should start watching them BUT I am really into Spooks at the moment so they may have to sit and wait.

A great gift though and something to look forward to watching 🙂

seeing red !!

I don’t usually do this kind of post BUT two things in the news today has made me see red !!

I am an easy going person and don’t really have many opinions , I hate politics , don’t agree with equal rights.

My aim is just to get through each day, week, month with out anything bad happening in my life.

When I read this in the newspaper this morning it made my blood boil.

I have served in the WRAF and strongly believe that mothers should not be allowed to serve in our forces.

These people should be totally ashamed of themselves too and why oh why do we let her keep on having babies !!

Rant over 🙂

 

A summer skirt

I get totally fed up with wearing trousers all the time.

So have been looking for a new skirt for a while.

I don’t have a very good relationship with clothes so find it hard to know what suits me.

Today it really felt like the first day of summer and I even found a skirt I liked 🙂

Now all I need to find is a Skirt guard for my bike !!

Intrigued

Some time ago the Boys ordered me a gift for mothers day.

At the time they did not realize that it was out of stock 🙁

In the  meantime they went and got me another gift from town…..  The Sex in the City movie  🙂

Which I will not watch till I have finished watching the series.

They got excited today when a packet arrived through the post, but it was not my gift but something else ordered at the same time.

The suspense is killing me 🙂
