I didn't want to do it, but I did

Oooh I really wasn't in the mood for my wiii workout today, but I did it in the end and I'm glad I did. I got up this morning late and feeling not in the mood for excercising or ironing which is how I planned to spend my day. I procrastinated for ages messing about on the internet before finally deciding to get on with my ironing and see if I felt like doing my workout later.
I did an hours ironing while watching gossip girl then had my lunch chatting to eily on busymitts and then it was back to ironing with desperate housewives. Well they weren't ironing with me, shame that I could have done with the help lol, I was just watching it while I ironed. I finished about four and then decided I really should do my workout..
I'm glad I did as I was feeling very guilty for not doing it and so I felt a lot better afterwards. I did have to skip the jump lunges though as they make my knees hurt at the best of times and after a few hours ironing it wasn't the best of times kneewise, but I managed the rest ok. 
I didn't do any workout yesterday as it was a rest day but I did give my purse a workout instead as I had a day in town with my mum. I bought a couple of little christmas presents for my niece and nephew,a couple of tshirts and a tunic top for me along with a few other bits including some more glucosamine tablets while they were on buy one get one half price in holland & barrett.
Town was really busy with it being half term, it was full of noisy kids with fairground rides and stalls running up the centre of the shopping area. The shops were quite busy especially boots where everyone seemed to have baskets of gift sets, taking advantage of the 3 for 2 offer they had on, unfortunately they only had two cashiers at the till so the queue was extra long and extra slow, shame they didn't have 3 for 2 on staff lol.
Right enough rambling its time I was off hubby and I need to pop up in the loft to put some christmas bits up and get a trolley case down for nephew so I'll say bye. Not sure what I'm going to do with the rest of my evening as there isn't anything on tv on a thursday so it might be a dvd or something we've recorded  and maybe a bit of knitting. I'm having a go at knitting somemens slippers at the moment after finishing a pair of flip top mitts for my niece Gemma on tuesday. I'm quite pleased with how they turned out as I had to alter the pattern a little by going a needle size smaller as Gem has small hands like me and the proper size would have made them too big.

Morning. Its another dreary damp day here at the moment but I bet the sun will come out later when I'm standing in front of the window ironing. It always does making me super hot and then Lucy comes and trys to soak up the sunlight stream and lays on the carpet right where I'm trying to stand ironing. I feel so cruel moving her and shutting the blind to close the sun out, I'd much rather leave her there soaking up the sun and bugger the ironing but if I don't do it no one else will.
I hate ironing with a vengeance and it hates me, after four hours ironing my knees won't bend properly and my hip throbs like mad. I end up walking a bit like John wayne after hes been on a horse all day, stiffy legged and swinging from side to side from my hips as I walk cos I can't bend them. My mum says I should iron in small lots instead of all at once but then I'd be ironing every day and ooooooooooh the thought of that NNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I think one day I'll end up having to do it that way but for now I'll carry on just coating myself in arnica gel, do the John Wayne walk for an evening and moaning about it.

Get off your horse and do the ironing

Right well now I've had my moan I'll go do my wii workout and get on with my day. Hope you all have a good one girls xx

Just a quickie

I've had a rest day from excercising today, it's not my idea Ive not given up already, its on the game that you have a rest day today. I did do a workout yesterday and burnt a total of 122.9 calories, woohoo a couple of biscuits worth burnt off there lol.
The workout was just a touch longer yesterday and true to its promise a bit different to the first day in its choice of excercises.  I wonder what tomorrows will bring? I quite enjoyed doing it yesterday and sort of missed it today.
I was considering just doing a few of the excercises and customising myself a little routine to do today but I've been ironing for four hours this afternoon so now I'm not in the mood for any more hard work, plus my knees and hip are really hurting now from standing for so long so I think I'm going to sit back and do an hours knitting now.
Night all x

Procrastinating

Morning, just thought I'd write a little blog and waste a bit of time. I should be ironing today, I have a huge pile as always and as always I'm putting it off. I hate ironing with a passion but unfortunaltely it must be done but if I can just delay it a little longer and a little longer it might not seem so bad, yeah right.
Its been a funny start to the day today, My nephew and his girlfriend have gone to Leeds fest today and so I was woken up at 20 to 5 by footsteps tramping downstairs and the porch door being unlocked opened shut locked unlocked opened shut locked (must have forgotten something first time) and then the front door unlocked open shut locked n footsteps down the front path, for two slim people they dont half sound like elephants going down the path. As I was awake I thought I'd pop to the loo and say morning to hubby who was up getting ready for work.
On my way back to bed I thought I'd look out the window see if they'd been picked up yet by Matts friends, it looked like they'd just arrived as Matt and Abi and a couple of his friends were loading their tent and bag into the boot. I also noticed a lad stood across the road facing the field peeing against the wall CLASSY eh. I mean it wasn't as if another pair of elephant feet coming inside and another round of unlocking locking the doors would have disturbed me after matts performance five minutes earlier.
I was hoping that our next door neighbour who is a policeman hadn't seen Matts friend peeing across the road as urinating outside is illegal isn't it, but I didn't see him running out with handcuffs and his truncheon (ooh er his police issue one I mean lol) A few minutes later they were all squashed in the car and doing a three point turn in the middle of the road before peeling off down the road again with a bit of a screech.
Ten minutes after that hubby left for work and I snuggled down in bed with the intention of going back to sleep but I must have been awake too long because for an hour I just lay there with my mind going from one thing to another. Why did it always have to rain when events were out doors. Did I need to wash hubby some more work trousers today or were there some in ironing basket. Shall I bake him a cake for his birthday tomorrow or buy one. How will my nephews first day at senior school go today? What excercise can I do that will make me super fit but not take much effort?
On and on I went untill after 6, I thought of getting up but I hadnt gone to bed while half twelve and so far I'd only had about 4 hours sleep. With a day of ironing and an evening visit to my in laws I thought it best to stay put and just try a little longer to drop off. Luckily I must have dropped off becasue the next thing I knew it was after 9.
So now here I am procrastinating and looking guiltily and with dread at the pile of ironing I brought down with me this morning which is only about half what I have to do today but as much as I could carry in one go.The rest I'll have to bring down later when I've worked my way down what I have here so far.
So bye for now its a ironing I go.

If you see one of these please send her to my house
