First Challenge of the year…

As most of you will know I love to exercise,but feel the only exercise worth doing is the kind that makes you pant and sweat, the more I sweat the more I like it.

But I also know that you need to tone,something I just find ssoo very boring,unless its done in a class or even better with friends.

I just don’t have time to fit an exercise class into my busy life at the moment and don’t really want to add to the amount of driving I already do either.

As I get older I know I need to stretch and keep supple. images

So my first challenge of this year is to add some toning exercise to my weekly routine

After seeing how well Emily is getting on with her Yogalates I thought I would give it a try.

Today she lent me her Ultimate Yogalates DVD and I have just spent the last hour doing it.

To my surprise I really enjoyed it but wont be able to do the whole hour in one go as I get bored easily with this kind of exercise.

Its divided into 3 sections so I will do a section each night this week that way I wont get bored.

Then I will get myself the Yogalates for weight loss and a non slip mat is needed too.

I wonder if you ever get used to her Voice 🙂

Is this me ???

Saw this over at Geoff’s and just could not resist….

What Sally Means
You are the total package – suave, sexy, smart, and strong.
You have the whole world under your spell, and you can influence almost everyone you know.
You don’t always resist your urges to crush the weak. Just remember, they don’t have as much going for them as you do.You are usually the best at everything … you strive for perfection.


You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive.
You have the classic “Type A” personality.You are relaxed, chill, and very likely to go with the flow.
You are light hearted and accepting. You don’t get worked up easily.
Well adjusted and incredibly happy, many people wonder what your secret to life is.

You are a free spirit, and you resent anyone who tries to fence you in.
You are unpredictable, adventurous, and always a little surprising.
You may miss out by not settling down, but you’re too busy having fun to care.

Running out of time…

No real blog post for me today.

After taking my son out for lunch, as it was his sixteenth birthday.

It was time to install my new printer and connect my laptop to the network.

As I am beginning to find out NOTHING is easy or SIMPLE with a vista machine.

In fact its so unpredictable you have to laugh else you just might cry.

One day it stays connected another day its on and off every five min’s.

One day it down loads my pictures from my camera,another day it says it cannot find device.

Then on top of that there is the millions of times it crashes for no reason what so ever.

It takes a lot for me to loose my patience but I am beginning too now, but what is the solution. 

Should I put windows XP onto the machine, which I don’t really want to as it feels like it would be going backwards instead of forwards.

Do I upgrade to Vista premium only to find it makes no difference after spending £65.

My Fujitsu Siemens Amilo laptop is less than 6 months old and I am beginning to hate it.

As for my net work printing, PC and laptop both recognize printer,both have sharing on but when it come to printing they have no communication.

In fact the laptop says it needs drivers, which we know it does not as it has printed from this printer before on another network.

5 wasted hours…..

AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

I feel better now  🙂
