Zig Zag

Not the stitch lol,

yesterday I walked the zig zag track

which runs along the Cataract Gorge

it was steep, very very steep and got my heart racing

big time,

then I walked back along the normal persons path

to the car.

I started at 1 followed path 9, to 8, then 7 to 5

4 and back along 2

In total I walked 2 kms, and hated the first 900 m

with a passion.

Now I know why I didn't see anyone walking ahead of me,

I just saw them walking towards me.

Oh well I feel great for it except my calves hurt and plan on tackling it again

tomorrow morning.

Today I am off to the police station......

with Miss I and her class as her

teacher is married to a policeman

we are walking into town having recess and then

we will walk to the police station and YAY

we are catching a bus back.

My husband said he hoped they let me back out lol

and he roared laughing at my text yesterday which said

'just walked the zig zag track, I want to die'

but he stopped laughing when I told him he was doing

it twice a week with me when he gets back.....

we will see who is laughing then.

I'll have 2 more weeks of the track

under my belt before he does one.......

I am thinking I will get the last laugh after his

1st time lol lol



I took the plunge

and joined weight watchers tonight

apparently I need to lose 20.5 kgs

and I am determined to do it

hopefully by the time I turn

32+8 in June

so I am putting it out there, so I have no excuse

when I was asked what my goal weight was I said

'Skinny' lol

wish me luck I have a terrible bbq shape and m&m addiction

8 bbq shapes means 3 points

25g of m&m's means 3 points

I think the m&m's will win

wish me luck I am going to need it

Desperately

trying to find an online stockist of

Grandmothers Flower Garden

designed by Rosalie Quinlan

so I can finish my

Down in the Garden Quilt!

I don't need alot and would prefer fats 1/8s to fat 1/4's

if I can't find any I can't finish it....

feeling very very frustrated!

on a happier note,

the heaters are wired in

new sensor light is installed and working

and the girlies are at school

YIPPEE

and I have decided that I can't start my

Tis the Season SAL until

I have completed the stitcheries

for

Lynette Andersons

In My Garden....

I only have 5 to do and they are small so

I should get them finished in no time.

I hope

and

I am off for a little break with the man of the house

in a couple of weeks

but more on that AFTER

it happens!

Ummm

Can anyone tell me what Eden, NSW is like

all I know is by car 3 hrs to Canberra

5-6 hrs to Sydney or Melbourne

help....

Google is telling me very very little

its been a DIY kind of day

with a little spot of sewing of the bear paws thrown in

Last winter we got a whopper of a power bill

$1700 for 3 months

our heat pump which was on 24/7 cost us $330 for those

3 months, the culprits of the outrageous amount were the

panel heaters on the landing downstairs and in the girlies

room.

Tomorrow we have our electrican coming to wire the panel heaters in

and to replace our sensor light out the front before daylight savings ends

So this afternoon my handy Daddy came and hung the heaters

the landing heater, and I still  have to move the quilt hangers up higher so the girlies

Little Bluebirds quilt can go back up, but I will do that after the

sparkie has worked his magic

the bunkers heater

then I got the ladder out as 2 lights in the kitchen had blown

and replaced the bulbs

and I put the cover back on the bathroom light which falls off

every 3 months or so, and always in the early hours of the

morning which scares the life out of me lol

not an easy feet as I have to stand on the 2nd highest rung of the ladder

to reach as we have 9 ft ceilings, my heart races everytime I have to do it.

and I put together an outdoor heater

so we can continure to use our deck for Friday afternoon drinks with

some of the mums from school lol

because it is getting very chilly here and I am wondering if we are in

for an early winter....and a cold one



Tis the Season

Today I found my fabrics

I am using

a mix of Rural Jardin and some other Moda goodness

and I took a trip to Calico Crossroads I had to pick up

my kit for the new Homespun BOM

and of course no post is complete without a photo

of Henrycat, as I emptied the bag of fabric

he climbed in

He has a bag fetish

shopping bags, paper bags, gardening bags

suitcases, handbags, plastic bags

if it is empty its his....


I also cleaned spotlight out of Olfa 45mm cutting blades
they were on sale, down to $7.93 each so I bought 4 today

I got 4 on Sunday too

at that price they were worth stocking up on.
