Give me a break !

So we move on from "one of those days" to one of those weeks, when yet again the "she shall have NO social life this year" fairy waved her wand. I had managed to have a good pre-christmas-party exfoliation in the shower after the vomiting incident, aware that Friday night was coming and I would need to be tanning on Thursday having moisturised on Wednesday.....fat chance !On Tuesday night we went to bed when I started shivering, chattering and goosebumping, to the extent that I put my dressing gown on, over a top and tracksuit bottoms and was still cold ! Not a good feeling and not a good look. I was about to compare myself to Bernard Dunne going into the ring but I am more of a Mike Tyson really. Wednesday was was feeling lousy and poor baby was still off his food but we survived and were well and truly sick of looking out at snow by now. Wednesday night same shivers followed by some very attractive sweating led me to head to the docs on Thursday, my saviour coming down for an hour to mind the kids. The Doc charged me 50 euro to tell me it was viral and I had to "ride it out". Thursday evening, same again and now poor baby awake, hot and very upset, so on Friday, back to doc, 50 euro more for him to tell me that baby now had tonsillitis and eldest son a chest infection. Off to chemist where BMM met us so I could leave the kids in the car with her. In I went and got the prescriptions along with a new pair of slippers for poor old Cinderella me, as the last pair went in the bin on Tuesday night due to the fact that they contained the contents of the babies stomach ! Luckily these came with a foot scrub, foot "implement" and foot cream so I smiled as I thought of how nice my feet would be that evening......when they should have been peeping out of a pair of silly shoes at my Christmas party ! Aaaarg ! Ok so now I have missed a wedding, a shopping trip and lunch out with GASP, TKMaxx night with the Mad One, my Christmas party, Jedward in Navan this morning ( eldest son a major fan) the Slane Village Christmas Market. A December to remember hey !The posh frock has cobwebs on it, my shrunken waist is expanding, my patience is wearing and GASP's theory that leaving food out for the birds would attract rodents appears to be true ( again) as bird pooh does not look like that ! Now I would just like to point out that the boys have had a very healthy year, but any illness has exactly corresponded to my few social events for this season. The good news is that the snow is gone, tonight Chinese Take Away and X Factor Final night, when I do get out, Shaws has a sale on, I have beautifully smooth feet and GASP is looking at me in tracksuit bottoms as if I am Beyonce Knowles, due to a distinct lack of action in "that" department .....there's always an up side ! ( no pun intended)

Running Naked !

Image
Yesterday I announced the the KOK's that I would be running the Judge 6K naked. By naked I meant I was going to leave my smartphone with it's running app in my car, not have it strapped to my arm advising me of every kilometer done, telling me my average speed and generally annoying me. I really enjoyed the peace and tranquility and ran my best run yet. http://womensrunning.competitor.com/2013/01/training-tips/naked-running_9269 There's alot to be said for nudity. This, of course got us to talking about actual naked running and wondering if naked runs exist and the difficulties we larger ladies would have. I set my mind to finding out all I could. It appears there is quite a naked running following, particularly, of course, in the old USA. The favourite one is the Caliente Dare to Bare 5k , which has the added advantage of a day long pool party to help you recover. I am fairly confident that alot of cooling down takes place in that pool, but maybe also a little hottin

Hunky Dory.....NOT !

Image
It was definitely the crisps ! This is the story of a girl who will NEVER eat the green Hunky Dorys EVER AGAIN ! The poor girl ( poetic license) thought last Friday night would be a straightforward evening of chat, dancing, fun at the evening of her first cousins wedding, but it didn't exactly turn out, as she thought it would. Of course The Mad One and the FIS ( fluent Irish speaker) set the wheels in motion, when they met in Lidl and decided that the men were to be left at home, and it would be a girls night out. Again The Mad One compounded matters when she offered to drive and collect the poor girl from her home on Friday evening to make the 90 minute trip to the hotel. On the way, the crack was mighty, but being three women in a car, there had to be a loo and coffee stop, at which point FIS showed her true Irish roots, bu arriving back into the car with a selection of snacks "for the journey home". A large bag of Minstrels and Galaxy Counters ( Minstrels without the

Fat Friends

Image
The key to looking slim is hanging around with people who are fatter than you are.I kinda forget this and have failed to make myself look any better due to the fact that those I am most often seen with are all smaller than I. I am not suggesting that I hang around with a bunch of supermodels ( they will not be offended by this). I try to hang with the "built for comfort not for speed" type but the FA has let me down badly a) by turning into a slim person and b) by introducing an even slimmer Sparkle to the group ! And she's meant to be a friend!The Baking Queen is pregnant...thank you, the blonde declares she has put on a stone ( I am not sure but it's good of her to say) and Newly Single has a Thyroid problem...happy days !True friends ! Bigfoodiemama is too big presently. A drastic decision has been made....I will return to WW this Thursday....just before a birthday dinner out with the all of the above for the FA's birthday. I am declaring my intent so that I ha
