Week Thirty Three

Well week thirty three is over and we are racing towards Christmas!!! Woohoo :) Here are the highlights:

I completed just over a mile at swimming and managed to get a waterlogged ear!
I'm so lucky that my boss said I could watch the Olympics at work :)
I had a great Zumba session, the hall has been unavailable for the last 2 weeks and, even though the group have been walking instead,  I've really missed it.
After Zumba me and my girl went to see the new Star Trek film, it was brilliant!
We found another great outdoor gym on our 4 mile walk, I'll definitely be going back to this one!
Alfie spent a lot of time just sitting and watching me :)
I face timed my brother Jamie who lives in Thailand.
I saw my nutty nephew George :)
I lost half a pound and enjoyed dirty pudding.  I was also very proud to be nominated for the Woman of the Year Competition and so pleased for my friend Sue who won :)
On Saturday I was up so early I had time to do all of my housework, including washing the bedding and clearing the ironing pile, before going out for a 2 and a half mile walk at 9:30!
After walking and shopping I cut the grass, cooked dinner and had a night out with the girls :)
After a Sunday morning walk me and Sarah tried to sort our bikes ready to get some training in :)
I spent some time in the afternoon meal prepping for the week.
Before sitting down and having a little treat :)
Another great week and I'm really looking forward to the week ahead.

Have a great week and thanks for stopping by

Week Thirty Two

Week thirty two was another active one, here are the highlights:

I went for a mile long swim after work and enjoyed a cup of my favourite coffee after :)
Zumba was cancelled again so the group went for a lovely 3.5 mile walk instead :)
Alfie really didn't want me to administer his ear drops so tried to hide his head in the sofa
My Wednesday walk with Jo took a different route so we could have a go at the local outdoor gym
And I had a quick go at hopscotch :)
Maddie's 7 month old laptop died on Saturday but luckily our IT guy at work managed to fix it and save all of her data.  She didn't get it back until Wednesday so she had a nightmare few days without it!
I popped out for a break at work and bumped into my friend and old boss Lauren, it was a lovely surprise :)
All of my hard work paid off with a great loss at slimming!
And it made dirty pudding taste all the sweeter :)
I was up early on Friday morning so had a jog on my trampoline while watching an old episode of Citizen Smith :)
On Friday evening I went on a road trip to see Paul :)
We were up and out early getting some bits and pieces done on Saturday
So we could enjoy the afternoon at the beach :)
And spend some time in the Lower Gardens people watching :)
Sunday was a lazy day.
And then I was back home with my boy!
I'm hoping that this week will be just as lovely and I am so looking forward to Team GB winning lots of gold medals at the Rio Olympics :)

Have a great week and thanks for stopping by

Five Favourites From July

I still haven't got any layouts to share
I've been far to busy
Getting out and about
Making more memories
And plenty of good times to look back on
But that doesn't mean I'm not going to pick my five favourite photos from the month and get them all ready to scrap when the Autumn comes and the nights draw in.

Thanks for stopping by

Week Thirty One

Week thirty one was very active!  Here are the highlights:

I decided to start swimming again, I haven't been in a pool for over a year but managed 41 lengths in about 20 minutes so I was happy with that :)
Zumba was cancelled due to the hall having a new floor so the whole group went for a lovely walk :)
I saw this cheeky little minx who wouldn't smile for the camera but enjoyed pulling funny faces :)
I went for a lovely, long walk with my friend Jo :)
And then contemplated how the grass really did need cutting!
I woke up early so put the extra time to good use on my little trampoline :)
I only lost half a pound at slimming but I did get my shiny 4 stone sticker :)
Which made dirty pudding taste even nicer!
Lovely Sandra stopped by the office with this gorgeous treat :)
I found a few minutes while dinner was cooking to get my stepper out :)
I decided that enough was enough and the grass had to be cut!
I had a lovely evening at bingo with the girls, no winnings though :(
On Sunday I was in the garden early enjoying a coffee.....in a Christmas mug :)
Then I headed out for a little trip...
To support everyone taking part in the Ride 100 event.
The rest of the day was spent with my friend Sarah who's just come back from a lovely holiday and who I missed very much!

Week thirty two has started off very busy and I can't wait for the weekend!

Enjoy the rest of the week and thanks for stopping by
