Friday has rolled round again, where on earth do all the days go? Only 15 days to go to Coralie and Johns wedding now. Hopefully it will be a nice bright sunny day like today with all the birds singing.
It's day 3 of my "No diet, diet" and today's task is not to have your favourite drink all day. I have lapsed! Simon gave me coffee with my breakfast this morning and I drunk it without thinking, but I was still half asleep! That's my excuse! Since then I have ben drinking cranberry juice or water. Now I am properly awake I will be able to stick with it.
Tomorrows task is to go for a 15 minute walk and think about what you want out of life. I have done that already earlier in the week but I will go for another walk tomorrow. Maybe a slightly longer one. Simon is at an exams meeting in Coventry tomorrow so I will have plenty of time.
Today I am doing all the normal house work stuff but slowly as I am still a bit head achey. I have done the washing and ironing which my life seems to revolve around! I have the hoovering to do and then I may do a bit of embroidery. Later this afternoon I am going with Sam, Lisa and Ellie to Toys R Us to look for a birthday present for Ellie. She is one year old on the 7th of May How the time has flown!
On Sunday I am going to Stevenage to see my Mum and Dad. I don't usually go at the weekend as my sister is there but she is away this week, so it will help Dad if I can give him a lift to the hospital. Plus, next week I have several days in school so I am quite busy.
I have a training session on Tuesday, plus language oral exams. Then more oral exams on Wednesday. The following week the SATS start on Tuesday and last all week. At the moment I am undecided about giving up now and not working at all for a while. I am fed up with school, they haven't paid me for last month yet due to a mistake on the part of the bursar. There is an ongoing row over our rate of pay and we are still owed back pay from a rise last April!! Not to mention that things in the school just go from bad to worse. I'm going to discuss it with Simon tonight but I know he'll say just leave. I'll see.
The following came from my cousin Pat and I thought I would share it.
Beautiful Women's Month
Age 3 She looks at herself and sees a Queen
Age 8 She looks at herself and sees Cinderella
Age 15 She looks at herself and sees an Ugly Sister ('Mum, I can't go to school looking like this!')
Age 20 She looks at herself and sees 'too fat / too thin / too short / too tall / too straight / too curly' - but decides she's going out anyway
Age 30 She looks at herself and sees 'too fat / too thin / too short / too tall / too straight / too curly' - but decides she doesn't have time to fix it, so she's going out anyway
Age 40 She looks at herself and sees 'clean' and goes out anyway
Age 50 She looks at herself and sees 'I am' and goes wherever she wants to
Age 60 She looks at herself and reminds herself of all the people who can't even see themselves in the mirror anymore - goes out and conquers the world
Age 70 She looks at herself and sees wisdom, laughter and ability and goes out to enjoy life
Age 80 Doesn't even bother to look - just puts on a purple hat and goes out to have fun with the world
Maybe we should put on that purple hat earlier...

I think I am between age 40 and 50......... I look at myself and think "reasonably clean" and then go out! I have also decided that the dog hairs add a "certain something" to my overall look!!! LOL. I am always covered in dog hair!!
Time now to drink down the last of my cranberry juice and go and hoover up some of that dog hair!
