Same here.
Ral and I spent all day on the Insurance for the home and contents. I have had 4 phone calls trying to get my mind around it all. Saved over a $1000 so pleased about that.

Marina , you will get used to the gym, but it does take a while.
My weight is still coming off and I can now fit into some of my ‘skinny ‘ clothes.

Wow Chookie $1000 saved, well done.

[judydawn]

Well done on both counts Chookie.

That's a good save with the insurance Chookie and also with the weight loss.

I had my hair cut earlier this morning.   

[meganjane]

Seems like hair cuts all around! I went in to get my hair cut really short. It’s longer than I’ve ever worn it, though still short. The hairdresser talked me out of it! So glad she did. Quick trim and it looks great.

Glad it’s you towing a trailer Cookie, I hate having to tow things.

I have a wedding to conduct this afternoon on a farm and the weather is awful! Lovely yesterday for rehearsal, but now very windy, overcast and cool. Always the way. No doubt it’ll be lovely tomorrow!

Marina, I hate the gym, too. I go to yoga classes and have just started a seniors Zumba. I’m on a low carb, high fat way of eating and lost early 8 kg last year. Maintained that weight for a year.  Best WOE ever. Lots of yummy food. I still eat starchy vegetables, but don’t eat wheat pasta or wheat bread or pastry. There are so many options out there now!

Chookie Congratulations on the weight loss and also the insurance.
MJ well done on your weight loss too. I hope the wedding went well. I'm sure the happy couple didn't mind crap weather.

[achookwoman]

Thanks Cookie.  Did the weekly weigh. 3 K exactly . Not feeling very energetic.  Hope that improves.

It's Mother's Day here today. Spoiled by my DS and DD with two beautiful bouquets of flowers. DS also partially prepared a Panettone which I finished off rolling and cooking here. It's now cooling.

[achookwoman]

CC, you are spoilt. Enjoy Mother’s Day.
It is Labour Day Holiday here.  It is recognition of an 8 hour working day. Lots of people go away for the long weekend.  It is very quiet around Invermay.

[judydawn]

Happy Mother’ Day Denise, spoil yourself too and have an easy day.  DS comes up with some great ideas with the food he makes for you.

[mab19]

Happy Mother's Day CC, enjoy your day.

DD and GC coming this morning.  They are bring me an MP3 player and putting on some relaxation cds. these are supposed to help me sleep better.

[achookwoman]

Hope the cds work Mab.   For years I have only slept 4 to 6 hours.  Awful really.  Since I have been on this diet I am sleeping 7 hours.

[cookie1]

I'd  forgotten that it was Mothers' Day for you CC. I'm glad you had a lovely day.
We had our public holiday last Monday. I hope you all enjoyed yours.
Margaret I hope the relaxation CDs work for you. I am very lucky as I sleep well. DH likens me to a chook, I go to sleep when the sun goes down and wake when it comes up. Although I do  like a sleep in too.
