I had Kate for my PT session very early last Saturday morning. She has quite a different style to Leanne. She likes to get to the bottom of things, and won't let them lie. I was due tohave her this Saturday, but because my carpet is being delivered (hopefully at 9am) i cannot make it. It's a shame.

I think she thinks that what she is telling me about nutrition is not going in, but it is. I am making a concerted effort to actually eat vegetables (although sadly i left my carrots at home today)

Damn i just went and ate 2 samosas. Not eactly healthy. But i guess if i keep things under more control i will be ok.

I'm so excited. And i just can't hide it!

I just got front row tickets for the Baebes on Saturday! They are seat a19 - which i guess means slightly to the side, but given that they don't appear to have sold many, i guess i could quit easily move. And who cares anyway - it's the music i go for!

Hmm, well i went out to my car last night fromwork and found out that i left the lights on all day. Again. And drained my battery. Again. So i was late getting home, which meant that i couldn't have made Ceroc.

I also caved in and bought chips and had it with my Asda instant spag carbonara. This was not a good idea, as i felt very ill afterwards. Let this be lesson to me.

Rutland - i think it possible is Englands smallest county, Steve! I was born in Leicester and when i was ill with tonsilitis as a little girl and farmed off on my grandparents, we often went to Rutland Water and Eyebrook. I must book that ticket soon. The box office said that there were plenty left, but i want to be sure!

I got around to booking the tree surgeon. He says that he will fit me in. As the tree is in the front, he doesn't need me to let him in, so i'm quite happy that this gets fitted in around other work that he has on. It's been an eyesore for so long that as longas it's gets done I will be happy!

I was sent a message by someone else on dating direct....to quote " I will always reply and enjoy having intelligent confiscations".

You have to smile, don't you!

I am still putting off going to Ceroc. I do not know why.

Body Balance was good last night. We didn't have clare, we had a guy named Jason (v cute) who was doing his Video assessment. This meant that we had to do release 18, a lot of which i could remember. Sadly that time around i could get into bow pose, and i can't now. Oh well.

My ankle is a lot better..

Good news! The Baedes are coming to Rutland. Ok so it's over an hours drive away, but it's actually on a date i have free! Tomorrow i am going to book it, and i am very excited. I have only seen them once in concert and that was 3 or so years ago!

It's rather grey and cloudy today. So I am sitting with a mug of camomile and honey tea at my desk.

I haven't been feeling very motivated at the gym, and i told Leanne this on Thursday. But i had a good session despite that, and despite having to go on the rower. Now i have my gym gloves, the rower is a lot easier on my hands. So i went willingly on Saturday and Sunday and beat my time on the rower on sunday! Because of the pain in my knee i think i prefer upper body workouts.

The last comment that was left was about how Adorable has changed. How there is less introspection than before.

I suppose one reason for this is that nothing in my life has changed, so there is nothing new to think over and talk about.

How i wish that that were not true!

I went on a hen night on Saturday. It makes me realise how much i am missing out on things by being single when all my friends are married. There were two friends, who are roughly my age, and they go on girlie holidays and go clubbing and generally have a good time. Me, i usually end up reading stories to my friends kids! I don't begrudge them that, as i love their kids...but oh how i do wish for something else.

I know i coul do it if i took up SPICE again. But the OU is taking up so much (too much) time. I need to find a balance, and it's difficult at the moment. Maybe i should book something...

I'nm on holiday - so apologies for the paucity of entries!

Spot update: Well it's not chicken pox. nor is it an allergy.

I have pityriasis rosea. And a classic case at that.

Ankle update: Still sore. My doctor says that i could take another 4 weeks to heal properly. Oh well.

Post from yesterday. Sadly wasn't able to post it theh as blogger was playing up.

Thanks to Steve for setting my mind at rest. I do wonder what the big
jeepy thing was doing, as it was there in the same place last night.
Strange, as usually the change the places where they sit. Oh well.

Ankle update: It still slightly hurting, but getting better.

spot update: well my team leader started having a minor freakout last
night in case i had chicken pox. I doubted that it was as i felt fine.
But i went to the pharmacy at Boots at The Fort anyway. The Pharmacist
agreed that it was very unlikely that it's chicken pox as i feel
perfectly normal and the spots are not itchy or hot. It's more likely an
allergic reaction to something.

I have no idea what though as i haven't changed anything. Very
strange. If it persists next week i may go to the doctors. Perhaps I
have suddenly developed an allergy to something?

Hmm well it's now 5:20pm. The spots seem to be increasing so i'm
going to the doctors on Monday. If they've gone by then all well and
good as there are other things i can do. If not - well it's with my fav
doctor so that's cool.

For those of you who are long time readers, you might remember todays date. Today five years ago my dad died. Or rather, my mum had him taken off the machines that were keeping what was left of him alive.

It seems so long ago in some ways, and like yesterday in others.

I fell over again last night and managed to hurt my ankle again!

I have also come out in loads of spots from my neck down to my waist. I'm hoping it's just an allergic rash. Fortunately they aren't very itchy, so i'm guessing that it isn't chicken pox.

I haven't heard back from the tree surgeon, so i have phoned another one.

Remember the guy i wasn't sure about because of his spelling. Well i emailed him, and he emailed back. That was ok. Then after that i received two emails with huge attachments with "jokes"? What's the deal with that??

Men, i truly do not understand them!

Time for more paranoia. Driving back on the m40, a police car in one of those lookout pointson the embankment. Me? I was doing about 75. Who knows.

I am trying not to let it ruin my evening. I'm doing okish so far, and i hope that by writing about it, this will help.

Have yuo ever heard of landmark education? I'm thinking about taking one of their seminars, either that or one by Anthony Robbins.

I just looked at the price of Anthony Robbins. hmmm maybe not right now.

My ankle is a little better, but not good enough for dancing. I hope that next Wednesday it will be good. And even better, I am off next week so that there will be no mad rush!

I feel really calm today. I have no idea why as it's the Tuesday after a bank holiday, which means that there is awful lot of catching up to do.

My ankle is a little less sore, although not perfect. I will give Ceroc a miss this week, and go next week as I feel certain that the dancing will involve a lot of quick turns which is likely to aggrevate my ankle.

We just had a fire alert here in my office. My block was on alert/standby and the main entrance was on evacuate. We had this guy who was very upset by it being on alert and not being allowed to leave and actually started being obnoxious and started swearing. A bit uncalled for really as it is my job to prevent people from going into areas which are potentially dangerous.

I did my gym programme Saturday and Sunday. I like the bike, but the treadmill hasn't got any easier. I think it will be a slow process, but with a PT (personal trainer) it means (i hope) that i won't get discouraged and lose hope.
