Milling Around!

I have been milling around today... I had to leave the chores to their own devices, so we all know what I will be doing tomorrow! Its amazing, though, I knew I loved my car, but after my big let  down of Friday morning its now in the garage! Imagine that, today is the day I would have ordinarily been out and about buying meat, buying fish, buying any thing else that i fancied cooking for the week, or running errands or whatever, we all have Saturdays so am sure you get my drift... then why did I just sit around my house doing nothing, moping as if my best friend had left me high and dry...well basically because to an extent that is what happened. After all, on a Saturday,  my car is generally my trusted companion..( yeah sad I know)

I had stuff to do, but could not face any of it... somehow I feel that my indomitable spirit had deserted me. Or maybe I used a lot this week! Yes I will not revisit.  Well I have not heard from the wonderful Honda Dunstable today, am not amused, so they will not be working on my car until Monday...so you all know that I will not be concentrating at work on Monday... well I suppose I will have to call on my integrity to ensure that does not happen.

Well I did clear some space on my sky+ disc, by watching bouquet of barbed wire, my gosh I forgot how dark that story is! Damm good acting though I would really recommend it. I read the book many years ago and I think this did it justice.  

If you are wondering why I have the video, on this post, its because watching it was   best 10 minutes I have had today..I would love to be able to break multiple things, boards etc  with my feet... I just had to share.....I shall be revisiting this video again!!! 

I have to mention my that  my love of slimming world marches on, so far today have had a fab day.. I must have a quick mention that I was disappointed that my Liverpool did not win today, I swear that I jinxed them, they were winning, they were playing keeping the ball, then i start watching and look what happens..hmm but John Rudd was fab though... so was suarez...

The Road leads to Bristol, April 2012 Part 2

Wow,  a quickie here, have to say..was not sure I was going to keep my own promise to myself, talk less of to others, but OMG, went to Tae Kwon Do today..first day back after having heard my sad little fate of not getting my Grade.  Am still overwhelmed to be honest, I have had such lovely comments from my friends and family.  It was an enjoyable class, but what was really nice, was that my instructor did mention that he has not known of many students if any who have come back to class, the first day after a negative result.  and that it showed indomitable spirit... wow... that was so nice... and I really appreciated it.

Am looking forward to getting on track with my training.... will keep you posted.

I must mention that I went to my slimming world class yesterday, and I had a maintain..so I was well pleased after the poor eating choices I had been making all weekend.

The Road leads to Bristol, April 2012 Part 1

If I said that I was not bitterly disappointed, I would be the biggest liar on the planet! In case you are wondering why is because after all the hard work, the leaving work early and all that mallarkey, I went for my black belt grading yesterday, and believe it,  the results are out today and unfortunately for me (or the TAGB depending on how you look at it) I did not pass this time.

I am actually quite sad, as I worked really hard, extra classes, sometimes in places as far away as Stratford upon Avon! Having been there though, my desire to be a black belt is greater than ever! So the routine starts all over again.  This attempt has cost me a lot...not just in petrol and hotel money, ( or indeed the grading fees) but there's also the diet..yep you guessed it I did not make sensible choices... it was fish and chips for dinner on Fri night, and worse, I had a pint of pear cider, which apparently did not agree with me, and I woke up in the night,throwing up and all that...too many syns, let's see what the scales say tomorrow night. I shall so not be amused am sure as I am certain to have added a few pounds on, oh and it has also cost me a new iphone charger, as I left mine in the hotel and oopsy daisy they cant find it! How much does it cost for a new charger? see what I mean, all that expense and no belt.

Well the next grading is in April, 2012 and I shall be booking my hotel right now.

All that whining done, I have to say that to be honest I did enjoy myself, I know I gave it my all, I could not have done any more, well except in my line work, that was I have to say on the diabolical side! I think though its because I over thought it, as in trying to get my foot shapes right and all that.. I did well in my theory, though.. 5/6 what a pity that does not give you a belt..he hee... well for now I will continue to be a 1st cup as we are called and wear the black tag belt. I may even enter a competition.
So now am gonna rest, but from Tuesday I just have to up the anti whilst waiting for the feedback!!!
