A non creative day

I did think about,
I even walked into my sewing room
then quickly walked back out.

I went to a Kimax class at the gym today
O.M.G it was awesome
me, a punching bag and as the instructor said
think of someone you don't like and smash it

lordy I smashed it lol

and she taught us the perfect move to break someones leg
if we ever need to,
 apparently the only mark I would have
would be a small bruise on my shin.

Not that I am ever likely to need to do that lol but I
guess its good to be prepared

Had a rushed afternoon, girlies came home I played a quick
game of phone tag with a removalist
dropped  the girlies to mums at 4pm for violin
raced back home to meet the removalist
who decided that he wanted to discuss Henrycat
I had to grab my phone and keys and just open the
front door at 5:25pm and made it very obvious
it was time to go.

He assures me now I have selected the to be store furniture/shed
that we will travel in only 1 container yay me lol. That has to lower the
cost, well I hope it does lol

We have our favourite movers rolling in for a quote on Friday
Lets hope its a huge improvement on the last one lol

I am off up the coast tomorrow to pick up dh, I have a pump class
Friday, Zumba on Saturday, Pump on Sunday followed by Balance
where tonight I learnt to do the hindu squat and 'the bird'
very tricky indeed
then we have my sister and her family for the night on Sunday
we are all off to dinner sunday night and they fly back to Sydney on Monday
and as far as we know we are still going to NSW on
Wednesday.......for a look see ooooh time away from the
girlies, but no gym for 3 days, I'll miss Balance, Kimax, Pump

Although we are still waiting for a definate yes, dh has
spoken to his referees who have been contacted, and its looking very
very very much like he has a new job.....

Fingers crossed we get word tomorrow or Friday.

Right now I am about to head to bed, I have a bit of a head
cold and a yucky cough, and I am surprisingly rather weary
tonight.

Today

Is my mummy and my sisters birthday

so to celebrate I made mum a double choc cheesecake

which sounds nice and yummy but was too sweet for her to eat

and the funny thing is I don't like cheesecake so everyone

was shocked when I made it lol

at least dad loved it and still has half to eat lol

now the weather here has been rather cruddy to say the least

windy, oh so windy little bit of drizzle

not really cold, but a great inside and sew kind of day

and look what I managed to get done


My garden, I just need to sew the blocks together,
add a border, quilt and bind it....YAY

and I need to confess I didn't make my bed today
and this is why



what a life Henrycat lives

at least he has stopped sleeping on dh's pillow lol
dh is apparenty allergic to cats and Henry knows this
so spends 6 weeks sleeping on his pillow while he is away
then moves back to my side, my pillow or beside me
just before he comes back from sea lol lol lol
and Harry sleeps in his basket on the floor
Harry is a good cat.

More cruddy weather predicted for tomorrow so who knows what I will
get done in my sewing room

Fee is having a giveaway

Go look here

follow Fee's rules

and you could win


2 charm packs and 1 metre of rose fabric


noice :)

What the Slave has achieved today

Firstly one has to intently watch the mop on
the off chance one could actually catch
said mop


the once one's slave begins the sewing room
cleanup/cleanout
one has to sit in the wrong place


One also has to make changing the sheets on the slaves bed
as difficult as possible, by resting in the middle so the slave
has to wait until one has rested sufficiently after mop watching
to enter the sewing room to supervise,

of course one has to get up before the slave gets the camera.

and this is what the slave managed to get done

before


after


ones slave has also been for her weekly weigh in
she doesn't want to discuss it, but one will

ones slave gained 500g but has lost 6cms off her body

slave here lol, apparently you need to weigh in at the same time each week
last week I weighed in at a morning meeting
today I weighed in at a night meeting

but I know all is good as I can wear size 14 jeans yay me lol
and all up I have lost 3.2kgs in 3 weeks and 11.5cms

so my ww leader Dianne said not to stress so I am not.


Out of control

Is the current state of my sewing room

so

after I have done the housework and dusted

I am going in

to sort, purge and make decisions

I need to downsize, whether we move or not

so today is the day

you never know I might just find some goodies

looking for new homes

so keep checking back as I can feel

a giveaway or 2 happening

Its the Weekend

Yippee

So what are our plans for this weekend

Miss E is off to a birthday party this afternoon and
is staying the night

it will be so quiet without her, we have discovered that if you remove
one girlie for a night the silence is bliss, no arguing, no yelling at siblings,
no she said or she did or muuuuuuum lol
just peace, after we drop her off we need to visit the supermarket and then we
will visit Grandma and Grandpa for a little while

I am supposed to be going to the gym for Zumba this afternoon
but have woken up with the beginings of a head cold
so instead of gymimg it, I am going to just relax
and chill out and eat good food

I also plan on tracing out the 1st 3 blocks for the
Tis The Season stitch along, but I must complete my
1 lone missing block from In my garden before I
can start stitching them

I started to sew the borders on the other In my Garden blocks, on Wednesday
I have 3 more to border
then I can sew the bottom 2 rows together
but really need to get the last block done.

Tomorrow I am doing Balance at 10:30
then I plan on coming home and getting into the garden
need to tidy it up before dh arrives home on Tuesday

Miss E comes home after lunch tomorrow.

So that is our weekend plans, nothing terribly exciting happening
just a relaxing pottering kind of weekend.
