Fool That I Am...

Fool that I am I've sprained my ankle. Slipped at work, and my ankle went and there I was flat on my face in a narrow corridor between the kitchen and the dining room. It hurts big time and I can't put my foot flat on the floor without excruciating pain shooting for it. I'm off to Physio this morning and I'm off work for a week to rest it and rest it and I will, probably in the shed at the torch. I'd only just got the same ankle better from the last time I did it when I missed the step and fell out of the caravan last year.

A shame really because I'd promised the kids I'd drop them at Chessington World of Adventures today as they have an inset day today. I'm also going to miss the 100th and 104th birthday party of two of our residents at work which is a pity. Prehaps I'll try and get along for a hour on the day.

So here I am stuck on the sofa with my feet up, laptop on my lap, no excuse for not keeping my blog up to date now is there...

Holidays and High Days...

I've not blogged for a while because we've been on holiday, New Forest, perfect weather, beautiful country side, walks and bicycle rides and a bloody cockeral who woke us up every morning at 3.30am and a randy bull who lulled us to sleep each night with his raucous mooing. Wonderful part of the country side and one we find ourselves returning to year after year...

So now we're back and the weathers rainy and cold and I'm back to work, the PS goes back tomorrow and I've decided it's time to go back to weight watchers. Anyone who knows me knows that I had a small heart attack back in November 2010 and I havn't really done anything about diet since then, despite rehab courses at hospital etc. so I decided it was time.

Well I've just got back, or I should say we've just got back. The PS came with me and joined too which is brilliant because he's never understood how I can eat x y and z even though I try and explain to him about points and things so now he will understand hopefully.

Anyway, there were only the three of us, sorry his Mum joined tonight too, and 3 other newbies who stayed to the meeting and although at first I wondered why because I've always stayed to meetings and found them useful, half way through the meeting we understood very well why no one stayed and we've promised ourselves that if we lose we can go home but if we put on we will be forced to pay penance by staying to class.

Anyway, we're all fired up, we brought the box full of gadgets like tape measure, points counter, shopping and eating out guide and stopped off at Sainsburys on the way home for extra foody supplies so there's no stopping up now.

Watch this space.
