Cinds it's not too bad if it's cold enough to wear tights but when you've spent ages doing fake tan and then head out and its running down your legs by the time you get to the bar then that's bad craic.  Once it's snowing though I'm not going anywhere near the town.  People falling everywhere and no taxi's in sight so having to either stand and freeze or hoof it home.

 

Slippers and a sherry I'll be having soon at this rate

Cologne that's less than 7 and a half stone.

 

People are always talking about how hard it is to lose weight and I suppose we never think of the people who do struggle to gain it too

Mine goes back Wednesday. School reopens tomorrow but they've made it a parent / teacher consultation day and then we have another on Thursday. I'm not impressed, even less so at the fact they just sent a letter saying we've made you an appointment for 12.30 Tuesday to meet with your child's form tutor! Well good for them but I won't be there, I have appointments in Manchester, Ulveston & Carlisle tomorrow ! Rant over!

This is very true, it is a struggle to be the ideal weight, well done on going the right way Cologne

They joy on facebook is funny though, all the parent's posting very happy statuses about how they're going to spend all their free time now

I always loved the first day back at school after the summer holidays when I was still there.    Mr Cinds says that doesn't surprise him.

A stew ball is someone who loves school and is great at all academic things.  I don't know where the hell 'stew ball' started but it's been the phrase of choice for years.

 

I think I always hated school even from primary age even though I was usually top of the class at most things (P.E....not so much) and had loads of friends.  I suppose I just hated being told what to do all the time.

I think that you will find that Stew ball was a racehorse. Oh Stewball was a racehorse, and I wish he were mine. He never drank water, he always drank wine. His bridle was silver, his mane it was gold. And the worth of his saddle has never been told. Oh the fairgrounds were crowded, and Stewball was there But the betting was heavy on the bay and the mare. And a-way up yonder, ahead of them all, Came a-prancin' and a-dancin' my noble Stewball. I bet on the grey mare, I bet on the bay If I'd have bet on ol' Stewball, I'd be a free man today. Oh the hoot owl, she hollers, and the turtle dove moans. I'm a poor boy in trouble, I'm a long way from home. (the idea that anyone enjoyed school is weird)

What can I say, I am weird.

 

I liked going to school.

 

When pegging items on the line the whole row can only be pegged out with pegs of the same colour.

 

And finally ,my toothbrush lives in a travel case even when I am not travelling.  Perish the thought that someone might actually look at my toothbrush never mind breath in its general direction.

I'm OK with the tooth brush thing^^^^^ but the pegs I feel very virtuous if I hang anything out on the line TBH - I'm always a bit too late or it clouds over or something - bugger the colour of the pegs. I have been good today though - two sets of bedding and towels! And ............................i've treated/stained all the garden furniture ready for winter - a visit from the accountant inbetween too! I hope I've shed a few pounds before my weigh in tonight!

Mr Woo would simply be ecstatic to see clothes on the line instead of spinning the electricity meter with the tumble drier.
