THISISIT.... New Year, new body. I decided to join a gym, not really my thing at all, I am not good at commitment to say the least, but need to do something as my body is heavier now than when I was pregnant. Yes that would be 9 months pregnant.
Today was the day to go for the first time on my own, however, I had to purchase a couple of things first.
1. New trainers - was all prepared to go into Southampton and trawl the sports shops for the right trainer, I have a problem with my knees and arch in my foot. Both ache when I walk too much as need a good supportive shoe. That is not a shoe that encourages me but a shoe that sort of holds up my arch or "supports" it.
Anyway, after speaking to a friend she suggested Go Outdoors. Hot on my heels.... I went there first and found some trainers/walking shoes, not sure if they will do the job, but to be honest they look good, feel comfortable and not too girly. So only time will tell.
2. Tracksuit bottoms/Joggy pants - went to the local high street to see if there was anything available, rather than going into Southampton. Went into the first shop, please don't judge me at this stage but I did say I went to the local shops!!!
Peacocks, had a variety of bottoms, not sweatshirt material, but lighter material. Looking good and to be honest just what I thought I needed. However on trying them on, OMG clingy, unflattering pants and I must admit I think I may have seen a Camel toe in there somewhere!!! UGH.. I know. So next high quality shop Bon Marche - yes older ladies shop. I have to admit though the Joggy bottoms in there were actually better and fitted nice. I suppose that says something about me, but hey that is why I am going to the Gym.
So, purchases all made and no on my way to the gym. To be honest not really looking forward to it, as I felt I may have been making a fool of myself. But here goes.
So got in my car, which a couple of weeks ago started rattling underneath, so thought I would quickly take it to the exhaust place to see what was going on. Yes it was the exhaust, not too sure what the rattling was at the time. (but has since been sorted) The part had to be ordered and the car had to stay there for the day.....what a shame no gym for me it seemed.
Before I left my car with the Garage, I had to go into the boot to retrieve my brand new trainers, (not to see the gym today), open the passenger door to retrieve my new gym bottoms, my rucksack with my bottle of water, Iphone holder and earphones (not to see the gym today) and take them all the way home. A short 10 minute walk down the hill.
So best laid plans more often than not, do not happen as planned, instead the new items sit waiting patiently for another day to be used....... THISISIT

Music to my ears
THISISIT.... Where to start, my children have birthdays just before Christmas and just after Christmas and this year received quite a bit of cash as presents. I think this is mainly to do with their ages 8 and 10 and that they have birthdays so near to Christmas.
As they are both into their music they have been chatting about getting some sort of CD player so that they can listen to music in their bedrooms. So it has been decided after trawling through the various Internet sites, Argos and Tesco brochures to get them one each. Using their birthday money.
Now using their own money never really goes down well. They are always happy to use our money, naturally, but dipping their little hands into their money boxes for their cash is a different matter.
Anyway we purchased two fine CD players for our lovelies, (from their own cash) which, they are so very happy with. Each girl has one in her bedroom, playing her own music.
The music is a bit loud, and as my husband has pointed out he will not tell them to turn it down. He remembers when he had music playing in his room, the moment his Dad could hear it, he was ordered to turn it down, the fun was lost on silent music. I have suggested rather than telling them to turn the music down to teach them that when in the house the control should not be past a certain number on the volume dial....
The joy of hearing them singing at the top of their voices to two different songs at the same time is wonderful but a tad bit confusing as not sure what either of them are singing. They have not wanted to watch TV, or go on the laptop or play on our phones. One is singing and reading and the other is playing happily with her dolls house. Such a good buy even is I say so myself...... THISISIT

Thisisit - so it has been a almost a year since I last blogged. Started with all good intentions, but after February had so much on forgot to blog. Then forgot username and password, so on, so forth. Today I have persevered with the whole signing in thing and eventually got in. Hooray for the 1st of January.
Not much to say today, don't want to start with any New Year resolutions, as I know now I really won't keep them.
But a question, why do men never want to use the phone when they need to sort out their mess - car not working. I called the AA man, materialises that there is nothing wrong with the car. Except for the fact husband took out a fuse when trying to put inhis new car radio and then forgot to put the fuse back in!!!!!
AA man not impressed, especially after husband said that he should have left the electronics to the professionals, he thinks he is so funny. Funny thing is though, he still has no car radio - thisisit
