A quiet life

Well I haven't really had anything to say for a while....yes minor miracle I know.... well nothing worth actually typing about, my life is too quiet at times.
I was the taxi to the park this morning for R and little E,N and E. So whilst they went to meet friends, play in the playground and visit the animal park I sat in the car and read my book. It was total heaven..peace and quiet and no one to interrupt. I need a rest at the moment though as I'm off to step class again, it's only once a week and it takes me the rest of the week to recover. I can see that I won't be going back to school with a bod like Kylie *sigh*

Yeeeeek

I ordered a new car toay....I haven't been for a test drive but hey, who cares? I decided upon [or rather P swayed my decision his way] a Nissan Qashqai [I don't even know if I spelt that right]
Main factors when deciding upon a car;
1. Does it have parking sensors?
2. What colours does it come in?

Oh thats it? I thought there may have been more things to consider....

I decided on polar white....mostly because I can have that this month, rather than wait for 3 months for a black. Its very big and chunky looking though, I really hope that I can park it, I may have to park waaaaay away from everyone else in the supermarket for a few weeks until I'm used to the size.

BTW I was only going to Tesco to collect my clothes order and thought I might just pop in on the way as we passed the Nissan garage.

First of the Month

Hopefully its going to be a better month for wins. First of the month and I had a letter from the Sheffield Star, I've won a Horrid Henry goody bag. Also a couple of Grants glasses arrived, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed for loads and loads of wins to report!

Gggrrrrrrr

Why are men never wrong? Just because he can't understand the difference between median and mean he says I'm wrong and explaining it incorrectly HUH!!

Jared Leto

OMG..... I so would!

Bad Moods

It seems that everyone else is this house is in a bad mood and temperamental and biting your head off if you, dare to be so rude as to, ask what they would like to eat....Why don't I know what they want? do what ever! How are they supposed to know what we have to eat? and theres never anything nice to eat anyway!

And they say women have mood swings...

Spam

I am amazed by some of the spam I receive every day, do these people think I'm going to reply?

Mr Ping Wong [I kid you not] is delighted to inform me that I been chosen to win over $100,000,000, how much over I havent a clue, all he needs is my passport details, name, address and drivers licence ...just sending them now ;o)

Meanwhile, my small member can be made to a size to please my ladies!!?? I have numerous offers of this. Herbal pills 100% satisfaction guaranteed...who could say no? Consuela, Krystyna, Doris? and Torjiflossie?? dont think I should refuse. Permanently increase the width and length of my new hard erection? I keep saying that we need to extend the extension and have a bigger kitchen. Thats the only new erection around here.

A credit card, I can have loads of these even if I have dozens of CCJ's and bad credit, all I am required to do is sign over my house, car and soul! No probs

Also never fear, Cupid is here for me. A single black? A single Asian? whatever I prefer I can have 3 dates for free anyway.

I need to log into my Halifax account, Lloyds TSB, Egg, Royal bank of whereever it was and re-enter my details and passwords...must do that later when I have the time.

I can purchase a wonderful genuine Rolex replica? I never treat myself?

I am also the possible winner of 3 Ipads, 4 Iphones and an Apple Mac laptop computer.

Honestly I dont think my normal emails are half as interesting as these...

What's worse.....

....teenagers or a husband who doesn't quite realise he isn't one? I shall have to find some way to explain to him that when in ones 40's it isn't the done thing to go out until 2.30am and then return [quite noisily I might add.....yes, I know he doesn't agree but being inebriated mutes the ears I find] with a friend who can't manage to get home as it's so late!
Obviously he made no noise at all, stage whispering to find out if I was awake, then asking where the spare bedding was, the loft ladder being pulled down as it was up in the loft cupboards [usually I'm more prepared when having guests to stay and have fetched it out before 3am] quietly thumping across the loft, closing the loft door, pulling out the sofa bed in the lounge...so many squeaky springs on that!...deciding to make coffees, creeping up the stairs to bed and then flicking the main bedroom light on instead of turning off the landing light, finally dropping into bed and when i say dropping I mean dropping, I'm almost bounced out, then after 30 seconds silence snoring like a pneumatic drill!

and I wonder why I have a headache today...

I got one

I did, I actually got one.......a win that is, I thought that I had stopped getting any decent wins! Well apart from the blinking fruit shoot skipping ropes. R rang me to say I was a jammy biatch [yes I know, quite rude I thought] and that my name was on sparkle world as a winner ....wooo go me!!!
I have won Robbie Williams wii sing for telling them what I would sing and with whom, R was gratified when realising I had only entered as it was what she was buying for DD1's birthday and it was saving her a good few quid.

Now to decide whether Angels is going to be a good song to sing at the birthday party....

Tesco

I knew I shouldn't have done it! Tesco, midday and school hols arrghhhh

Don't take your children shopping when they are going to run around and scream, it hurts my ears! and why oh why is there always a little voice that says 'hello Mrs Hardy....are you shopping?' Every sarcastic bone in my body aches to be used, but no, I smile and say 'Hello sweetie, [cause I can never remember names] I am, are you shopping too?' and then they peer into your trolley and I hope to god all the sweets and buns are hidden under the fruit and veg properly!!
Still, that was £100 spent, the fridge is full and will stay that way for, oh...2 days? then they will have munched the whole lot [well apart from the veg] and I'll have to do it all again.

Dynamo

Wow ........ how does he do it all?

Me and Mel B day 2

I think Mel is going to win this one! Again she barely breaks a sweat and manages to talk the whole way through without gasping once....I say all the way through, but I only managed half today, I blame the hot weather [theres a storm on the way you know ... its too humid] well it's a decent excuse and I'm sticking to it, I shall think of a different one for tomorrow obviously.

Me and Mel B

Well the Xbox was moved into the loft and I familiarised myself with leaping about looking red and sweaty whilst seeing yourself on the kinect! Who the heck decided that it was a good idea to invent a game with a camera so you can see yourself in real life [and size!] and why did I decide to buy one?
Mel B didnt break a sweat once, wasn't out of breath and didn't miss any of the steps! I on the other hand sweated like a pig, gasped and groaned and kept going in the wrong direction.
It's actually quite good though as it takes your age, height and weight and asks you what you actually want to achieve, ie weight loss, toning up or just health benefits. Then it decides whatworkout is best for you and sets it up so you do something different each day. Mine today was dance.......yep dance! me that has 2 left feet, no sense of direction and no rhythm. By the end of it though I was salsa-ing and cha cha-ing like a professional lol
I am determined to do the 30 minute workout every day through the holidays and see if I'm a stone lighter and tomed by the time we go back to school .....

Ssshhh I dont think the chocolate I just ate will help though...

Muscles

Talking of hobbies - well not talking, but I did briefly mention perhaps finding one - I was persuaded that a step class was just what I need to lose the middle age spread that I have gained over the last year or 2! Even though, as S pointed out, a woman of my age and build [old, short and fat!] is never going to have long, thin, lovely legs, it would help my over all fitness.
So off I went [well picked up in S's car, no point in using too much energy before we arrived] to the gym, attired correctly and grasping my water bottle in I went. Step in place, I made sure I wasn't stood next to the skinny blonde girl who obviously wasn't going to make a mistake!!
The music started [very loudly can I add] and off we went without a single explanation of what we were about to do.... Did I mention I have no sense of direction and don't know my left and right?? OK I can manage the step up and down, even the knee lifts and curls, I even managed a grapevine [that was dragged from the back of my mind from aerobics many, many moons ago] but when they started stepping over and twisting around and doing dance steps too, well that lost me completely, who would have though S was so graceful? I did keep stepping the basic steps though and was suitably sweating by the end of the 45 minutes. My legs ache very slightly today and not half as bad as I thought they might. I'm booked in for next week so I may have to try some practicing in the loft before I attempt a 2nd week. But along with the slimming world diet I may just manage to get back into all those trousers I'm too fat for!

OOh I also have bought the Mel B resistance band workout for the kinect, I just have to get one of the kids to move an xbox to the loft for me to try it lol .... wish me luck

Guess Who's back....

I have decided that although no one will ever read my ramblings, I am going to ramble on to my hearts content on here. I had forgotten completely about 'owning' a blog and it quite suprised me when logging in to read someone elses it gave me the option to read my own!! Who would have thought I could be so worldly as to write a blog eh?

Anyway this is going to be my ramblings to myself as there never seems anyone to talk to anymore! All those years of praying for 5 minutes in the toilet, alone ,with no one banging on the door and now no one needs me at all *small sob can be heard here* All teenagers need is to be fed and given money ... nothing else at all.
I can see me having to search for a life you know, a hobby thats what I need..........
