Busy day

Well it's been a long week, mostly just work, but also I have been getting back into the gym which has been really making me feel better.  On the downside I have toothache :-(

Last day before payday as well so looking forward to having some extra cash, and my prize draw finishes tomorrow so we get to pick a winner!!!!

What else has been going on, well Faye is been poorly again, and apparently may be Lactose Intolerant, but at least it might be an answer, so that's good, she's back at school now though.

New Lotto

Yay!

I woke this morning to an email from the Lotto and so I logged in and in the new lotto I got 3 numbers and won £25! I like the new lotto now.  But what to spend all this new found money on, petrol:-( .

Well how has the rest of the week been? So Thursday I went to the CALM AGM, very informative and good to know how things are with them, so a good use of my time, then spent Friday at home other than popping out for a walk, as I am making sure I do at least a 1 hour walk if I do not go to the gym, and Saturday was Gym in the morning followed by work, I did make myself a lovely casserole for my dinner as well mmmm!

Today is not going to be very interesting as it's mainly work.

Oh and don't forget to enter the competition as it's only got a few days left so good luck!

Update

Faye was feeling poorly again yesterday, thats two Mondays in a row, I'm starting to suspect it's something about school, but I'll give her the benefit if the doubt for now! As for me I went for a bit of a bike ride, round central London, good bit of exercise and gets the mind focused as it is so dangerous, I also stopped off at Covent Garden and looked round the antiques market, some good stuff but I did not buy.

Today I am off to the gym (in about 20 mins) and that is about it, back to work tomorrow at 6am for Overtime and then I have the CALM AGM on Thursday as well as a customer forum to attend in the afternoon.

Oh I also attended the start of the Lord Mayors Cycle Challenge on Sunday, it was a good event in aid of a good charity, so congratulations to all those who participated. 

Day out!

Well yesterday was supposed to be a fun day out with the kids, so I got down there at about 10:30, and we set off for Thorpe Park, Faye did not really want to go, but the other two have been asking for so long I thought it would be fun and hopefully Faye would enjoy it once she was there.

Well to start with we set off down the M20 without any trouble but then I saw signs saying the M25 had long delays, and they were right, at junction 8 there had been a nasty looking accident, hopefully no one was seriously hurt, the effect on us was a one and a half hour journey took nearly 5 hours and we did not get to Thorpe Park until 3:20 so we only had 3 hours there.

We then queued to go on Storm Surge, which looked like a fun ride, and after 40 minutes we were about 5 mins from the front of the queue when the ride was stopped and we were told it would not be working for some time and we should not wait! grr this day was getting worse!!! well the kids were getting hungry so we went to Pizza Hut and had some food.

Me and George then went on DETONATOR, which is a fun ride and had a short queue so that was good, Faye and Erin wanted to try Storm Force again so we went back and it was open, so we went on it this time we managed to get on and it was a good ride, but by the time we had queued and been on the ride it had now passed 6pm, so the park was closing, all in all a long day for 2 rides :-(

I've promised George I will take him again by himself as he enjoys the bigger rides, Faye and Erin both seem to prefer Chessington!

Good news or Bad news - I can't decide!

Well it has been one of those days today, I was supposed to go to the gym today, but I got up late and had some other stuff to do first, so I missed the opportunity this morning and then I got tied up trying to fix my car this afternoon (unsuccessfully I might add), so that was a bit of a downer, will definitely go tomorrow morning.

Had some post, Road Tax not exactly exciting but keeping the car legal is always good I suppose and the "other" bit of post this is the one I can't decide if it's good news or bad news, as I have received my result of my entry in the ballot for the Virgin London Marathon 2014, and I did not get in, so I was disappointed, but then I thought, well now i don't need to train as hard and running is not exactly my strong point, so maybe it's a good thing? I think I am going to train up for it slowly and go for 2015 now, I would love to achieve it so I am not going to give up, but I think I would have found it hard for this year!

Other than that I had a coffee with a good friend who I don't see all that often and it's always good to catch up, she seems very happy which is great! now I am going to chill out with a drink, some dinner and a bit of TV.

Day off

Have a day off today, which I have made the most of so far by only just getting up, lovely! still cant stay in bed much past midday so am now up and about, thinking what I should do with the rest of the day?  Some food first I think, and then I might go for a walk, it's looking like it nice out, so may go off to Regents Park and enjoy what left we have of the sun before it disappears for the rest of the year!

I should also get some paperwork done as well, but not really in the mood, maybe when I get home I will be more motivated?
