What will I be up to today? Well not too much, I'm going shopping after the school run with my Nan and Grandad and having lunch out, not sure where yet, and Amy is at Dance club after school so I dont need t collect her until 4pm. Really excited for her at the moment as she is in the Schools Make Music programme and is singing at the Cromwell College on thursday evening.

Pilates

I didnt get to go to the yoga class last night s I put on the Winsor Pilates video, yes a VHS tape, and did the 20 minutes workout, the time flew by and I was quite suprised when I'd finished. I used to do it about 3 times a week, I can see how much it helped my flexibilty and posture. I want to do more now. That makes me so pleased that I ordered the new Circle Pilates yesterday, hope it comes quickly.
I broke my washing line this morning , snapped two of the lines from the rotary, it still works but I have lost two on my longest wires.

Got a new book today

Was very suprised and excited today as the postie brought me the new Anthea Turner book,Entertain in Style .Wasnt due for release until May so happy its out early. Lots of yummy recipes too.

Also hopefully today I will be going to my first Yoga class, although I have done yoga on and off since about 2001 I havent been to a class, so I am really looking forward to being able to do this (that is if Hubby is home early enough). I'll update to let you know if I got to go.

Mop, mop and mop some more.

The downstairs of my home is completely wood floored (laminate) so it does take a bit of cleaning. The cleaning away, then sweeping and then the mop and dry. I dont really use a mop though I'd rather use a cloth and be on my knees, I think it gives it a better clean.
The sofas need another wash and condition after "yougurt-gate" where Grace decided to get a yogurt out and smear it on the sofa! See, its true, you cant take a toilet break without something happening. They have been washed but need a another going over and a condition, it doesnt take too long once everything it started. Better than a week or so ago when I had to remove biro pen from the leather!! Shocking!! I was a bit frightened to try it but I used nail varnish remover! And then quickly conditioned it. It worked. I was amazed.
Doing the weekly shop later on due to being out on Sunday. Monday will be filled with family and fun as its my brothers 29th birthday and we all going bowling, there will be about 14 of us, so it will be great. Also need to get the school uniforms ready as Amy goes back to school Tuesday.

Compliments from male visitors

Andrew had a group of friends here last night to watch WrestleMania I was nervous, as I always am when people come to our home, but I need not have been they were great guests. Took their shoes off (and all had good socks on), had lovely manners and we complimentary on our home. I played a good hostess (meaning keeping the drinks filled) and enjoyed the evening too. What was really fab was when one of them offered to take the recycling out for me at the end of the evening, how adorable is that?? Funny as it was the only partnered up one that did that (must compliment his partner for having him well trained)
Andrew said he was super proud of me.

So not much to do today, just the daily jobs.
Have a good day all.
