Went to the hairdressers the other week, and she complimented my hair colour… a home colour job…
“A lovely shade of blonde!” She said… Huh??
So, I thought it was a shade of brown.
Lil Man agrees, brown he says…
Lil Princess said light brown with a tiny bit of orange (thanks !)
Hubby says brown
Hair dresser says blonde?!?!?!
So, please, comment and tell me what color you see!
Maybe my hair is like that dress!!!!
A perfect marriage…

I love this one… It’s so true! None of us are perfect, however much we might like to think, or want others to think, but together, we make a perfect pair!

Spurred on by my health check on Friday, I thought I’d give the old hula hooping a try!
Popped to town today, while my karate kids were at their grading and purchased an adult sized hula hoop.
A weighted, adult sized hula hoop.
A foam covered, weighted (1.36kg), adult sized hula hoop!
(Foam covering very important… Wait n see!)
Here it is, and there I am too… Actually hula hooping!!!
I can do it!!!!
I have never been able to do it, or keep the hoop up for longer than 2 hulas!!!
But on my second go, my Lil Man counted 56 hulas!!! Man I’m an expert!!!
The nurse said 10 minutes a day. I did about 3… First time, I think that’s OK! I can feel my waist aching already!
And as for the weighted bit, that’s obviously helping, hence the aching, and it helps keep the equilibrium going, so its not entirely my skills, but the hoop itself that helped!
So £14.99 well spent I think!
Oh and I said I’d mention the foam covering… Well that’s definitely needed! With the weights, I believe I can expect a bit of bruising too, so the protevtive foam might lessen that!
People, its great! Give it a go! (But make sure you have lots of space around you too!)
And in other events…

I was dreading yesterday…
We were all scheduled for a health check at work, just a wellbeing check, BP, cholesterol, BMI, Sugar levels, etc. and I was dreading it… What where they going to say? With my Pops family history, the cholesterol was a worry, and the general weight issue. We have had several instances of breast cancer in my Pops side too,a small that was again a worry.
But I was fretting unnecessarily! Apparently I am in good nick! BMI healthy, BP perfect, cholesterol at 4.95 so it’s unlikely that I have the hereditary gene…all the other tests were normal.. Phew!
But, there’s always a but… My waist measurement puts me in a higher risk category of things like heart conditions, diabetes, cancers etc. The nurse did stress that I was not to worry. I am not overweight at all, but to try and trim 2-3 inches off my waist. And what did she suggest? Hula hooping for 10 minutes a day! Oh to have a spare 10 minutes to start with… And oh, there is the fact that I can’t hula to save my life!!! Maybe I’ll have to dust off the wifi fit hula game then!!
So armed with that knowledge, I ate pizza, and ice cream too! ☺️😁
And today, I was a total durr brain (yes that is a technical term, didn’t you know?!) went grocery shopping,many it usually costs me between £120-150 a week. It was nearly £200 this time, eek! But there were important bits n bobs that needed replenishing so, you know, these things happen.
Anywho, I got home and started unpacking. Got to the last bag and realised something was missing… Actually not something, but lots of things! In fact a who,e bag full probably about £30 of items! I checked the car, the kitchen, everywhere it could have been then it dawned on me. I had hung one bag in the end it the shopping trolley, I bet I forgot it there. No hope. Someone got a bag of shopping for free! Damn!
I called the local Asda, and the woman said “I know. And it was handed in!” So I rushed back there to get it. I couldn’t believe it! Honesty is still around in this world! Ok so I had to rush around, make two trips, that was my fault, but a huge thank you to the couple who handed my shopping bag in!
And we’ve had a lovely evening with Hubby Dearest’s niece who came for dinner, and exhausted the children too! So they’re asleep, and I’m ready for bed now too! Kiddies Karate grading tomorrow!
Sleep tight folks!
