I've lost my first pound :) Actually, I've lost several pounds, but that was the result of an unavoidable spending spree. But I have lost a pound in weight. I'd guess it's all those stairs at school (which are playing havoc with my poorly foot - but I try not to mention that as poor Tiddles is getting really quite upset to think that he caused it)
I had to pull out of going to aquafit today. I was doomed. First my foot was really too tender to want to push it through the water at all, or even to drive to the pool. Then I went to put my swimming costume in the bag and found it had rotted through. Then I got blocked in the school car park. Doomed. Instead I went and got my library card for college and the parcel which securicor had been trying frantically to deliver to our house. Yes, a very valuable box containing a carton of Neutrodol carpet deodoriser and a broken bottle of upholstry cleaner and lots of random liquid. Hmmm.
I also collected, at long last, my fantastic prize from the County Show competition. It's a pack of recycled stationery. I like the pencils (from poystyrene cups) and crayons (from sustainable forests) and notebooks (from recycled paper) and ruler (from melted down broken computer printers) but was less impressed with the mousemat and pencil case made from recycled tyres. The smell!
Hmm, I have just noticed that the long-legged spider that's just out of reach above the computer desk has actually raised a plethora of spiderlings. I have mixed feelings about not hearing the patter of tiny feet. Not looking forward to them becoming more mobile at all... but then, how could I be so cruel as to move them before they're properly ready to make their own way in life. I can't bring myself to be a home-breaker. Anyone noticed what a spidery year it is this year?
