Getting The Look!!

Woke up to see it was snowing...

Didn't last too long, all gone by dinnertime!

I dressed down today (far too cold to wear a dress)

I bought new large school shoes for my youngest son.

It might take a few weeks for him to break in those Doc Martins shoes..

Went to have a look in Waitrose for any bargains..

I had the "Pretty Woman look"off one member of staff

The look of "what are YOU doing in here ?"

The same look, Julia Roberts had when she walked into the posh shop on Rodeo Drive in the Pretty Woman film.

I just rolled my eyes loudly..

I handed over my Waitrose card,sipped my free coffee and  got the free magazine too boot!

Playing With Chopsticks

We were on the big shoe hunt today.

Mind you it was freezing...

Lots of layers to keep out the cold

Two pairs of new big sized trainers later..

 I had better watch out, they might be wearing my trainers soon!!

 More adult sized school shoes and PE pumps bought!!

Had a lovely takeaway M&S coffee...

For dinner I had takeaway Sweet and Sour chicken with noodles...

Even mastered using the chopsticks!

 

Size Matters

We were supposed to have loads of snow over night!

Yeah right.....

Just a little sprinkle....

Still freezing cold.....

Went to Webb's for a half price breakfast...

Roll on the weekend...

As we are doing the shoe hunt.

Both children needing more big school shoes.

The way it's going..

 they will be wearing clogs....(they never wear out!)

 

Truly Madly Deeply

After having an early night I felt ready for another day.

Wearing several layers of clothing....the snow is coming....

I heard earlier the great Alan Rickman had died.

My middle son is named after his character in the film Truly,Madly,Deeply.

I have grew up watching his films, Die Hard, Robin Hood Prince of Thieves,Close My Eyes, & Help,I'm Fish.

I must be the only person in the world that hasn't watched Love Actually!

He has joined the many stars in the night time sky.

He leaves a legacy of some great films!

 

 

Making The Most.....

Oh what fun day I had!

Firstly I was waiting 2 hours down the hospital,

As my youngest son had fractured his left wrist

(This happened at after school football the night before)

He now had a black and white bandage on his left arm for 3 weeks!

Did food shopping for other son as his is cooking at school tomorrow.(That's our tea)

To round off the day, both sons enjoyed their first time at Scouts for 2 hours.

Hubby and I enjoyed making the most of  some lovely adult time for 2 hours....;p

 

Attempting A Bit Of Yoga.....

Time for the thermal knickers to come out.

It was brass monkeys time!

I kept warm by attempting Yoga and Pilates on the Wii

Got down on the gym mat....

The room nearly went dark when I tried to get back up from the floor ;p

I made lovely homemade butterscotch rice pudding tonight.Yum Yum

At least I can attempt to burn it off with the help of a warm hubby, and some even warmer hands.

 

Just Keep Dancing

I heard the sad news of David Bowie passing away at 7am this morning.

He had a huge backlog of some brilliant songs.

My all time favourite is "Dancing In The Street" he sung with Mick Jagger 

Speaking of dancing,

The Wii and Exerbeat  came out for a play.

Did my half an hour of exercising.

That caused a few tremors around here !!!
