Good Morning Lovely Ladies
Posting Sunday evening trying to get a jump start on my Monday.
Yesterday we pick up our new dining room chairs. DH spent most of the arvo and evening putting them together. I helped until it was time to do dinner, but he finished them off. We are so happy with them. The old chairs were chocolate brown, very high backed leatherette, so were very dominating and heavy looking. The new ones are slatted timber back with material seats, and not as tall, so it opens up the room more, makes it look lighter. AND no more little chips of 'leather' like fabric all through my house. We also picked up a Nest of Tables to match, Monday's job. Still waiting on Dining Table, Buffet and Matching Bar Stools to arrive. So excited, NEVER had matching before. Feeling like a grown up. Can't wait to chuck the bar stools, they arrived the day DD20 was born.
Today I want to do 90mins on the Treadmill, did same yesterday and survived. I am trying to 'amp' up the exercise more as I can't expect the diet to do all the work. I am more than happy with results, but need to tone up as well. Hopefully improved muscles will burn more cals and I can keep up the rate of loss to 4 or 5kgs per month.
After that (and when we have the nest of tables together and the boxes out of the house, I will vac back half of house (make head start on WHB). Other than that not much planned. Rained heavy on Sunday so no mowing today, but maybe some weeding in the front gardens if not raining, and washing (again if not raining).
Wishing you all a Marvelous Monday and a Wonderful Week of FLYing together.

Hi Shellie, Yayyyy for the dining chairs - they sound just lovely! So proud of all your progress on your fitness goals - you're doing great!
Hi everyone,
DH's birthday today, but a busy one for everyone, so we'll start celebrations tonight at 5pm when he gets home from work. I have some jobs for that, but made the butter cream last night so am ahead there.
DD11 is off to a writers' workshop. It's a bit of a big deal - 4 students per school selected and they spend the week working with an author and will then slowly edit to produce a book by September. I think she is mostly excited because she doesn't have to go to school for the week.
DS8 is needing some more routine. That came to a head when we were trying to do a week's worth of reading last night! This week, I am not going to 'save' him (he doesn't want to hand in his homework book without having done it - but has not been wanting to do it when I suggest, hence the 'catch up'). But I am going to 'support' him. I think that's a job for this afternoon - planning a weekly routine with him and giving him an incentive to stick to it! 
DS4 is adorable and cheeky and mischievous. He needs more time too. So I'm doing a routine there. We do snuggle and read every day, but I think I need to put some more things in there. We did some drawing last night which was fun and relaxing.
Today then...

Hi Everyone Shellie- how fun having new decluttered furniture 90 mins on a treadmill?? Surely thats heart attack material!!  Elizabeth- have fun celebrating with DH.How did you go with your Control Journal Medusa? Work day for me today. I did wash last nights dishes and hang up washing I did yesterday before i went to work as well as feed the chooks etc. DH is meant to be cooking dinner but its 5.45 and he’s not even home yet nor responding to my texts  Tonight I want to try some fitted sheets on our bed in roof top tent as its quite long and I want to clean out the drawers in back of 4WD where our cooking and eating utensils all goes-its disgustingly dirty! Other than that its a relaxing night for me Hope you all have a good night! x x |
