Morning, one and all - and what a horrible, miserable, ROTTEN day it is! Its raining torrents and the wind is bitterly cold coming in horizontally with more than a hint of ice in it. And the Visa card bill arrived in the post! Wooppee Do!!!
Yes, Carol, thats me bidding for the Pilates video. The physio at the hospital had me doing some Pilates exercises when I tore a muscle in my jelly belly just after I had my hysterectomy and they really seemed to work to reduce the pain and strengthen the muscle a bit - but its just started twinging again, after having been pain free for 9 months!! The Pilates worked better for me than either acupuncture and hypnosis did although I can't imagine how!! I have also got pains in my legs and back at the moment (probably all the walking) so I am hoping Pilates might be able to help with those as well.
I wish you luck with the Geri yoga video, I have got the Barbara Currie one and I think it would have done some good if I could have persuaded myself to persevere with it - I did it every day for about a fortnight when I first got it and I could feel a difference, I REALLY could, but somehow one Monday I didn't feel like doing it and have never done it again since!
My rebounder is due to arrive on Monday - yippee! Could those of you with rebounders give me a bit of advice on a few basic exercises (make them easy ones please) - I don't think I have got the inner courage (or Visa card balance) to start the search for the cardio bounce video just yet!!
Veggie - that placement sounds like a job made in heaven to me - I can't imagine anything more interesting than doing that kind of work. Then, if you get some free time, you can pop in to the Court and enjoy some of the best free entertainment in the World!! I used to really LOVE doing that - but I don't live near a Court any more!!!!
BTW, Veggie - I was on MSN for a long time yesterday and you never showed as being on line - even when I could see from 3FC that you were on line...... The problem is that my Brother in Law is in love with MSN and if he seems me on line then I get stuck chatting to him, so I don't show myself as being 'online' very much
Hello From One Fat Chick In The UK #13
This is getting bad - think I need to go put the kids to bed & become sensible again. 
oh do you do sensible carol???? ive never quite sussed that part out, even when kids are in bed sensible doesnt happen for me
I've not been around much as dh had his surgery (large birth mark removed from his back) on Monday and I've been ferrying him back and forwards to work and with the girls as well I've not had any time to eat sensibly or get on here to read everyones mail. I see that I've been made politically correct now and I'm from the UK and not England any longer. I didn't mean to offend anyone when I started the thread in July of last year, I just felt very lonely "speaking" to people from all over the world and I thought it would get me noticed when I posted my first thread.
) I think I'm going to do the "C" word and cook - she's too embarrassing to be seen out in public with, I know I don't usually do the "C" word but I'm getting desperate - maybe I'll nip up to M&S and get a load of lovely stuff and pass it off as mine.....
