Arte- taking a break is a good thing to do sometimes. Hope you're not away too long though! I'm not as active in here as I used to be, but love to pop back in here occasionally for a catch up.

Arte- taking a break is a good thing to do sometimes. Hope you're not away too long though! I'm not as active in here as I used to be, but love to pop back in here occasionally for a catch up.
Arte - hope everything is OK.
Really not much to report here. Back to school this week - already hanging out for next holidays.
Making plans for our 10th wedding anniversary - Jan 2015. Maybe Lord Howe Island for a week.
Cass - when is the big move?
Hi girls - its been quiet in here....
Hope everyone is travelling well. all good here. DH is in china at the moment but home tomorrow :-)
I was offered a big promotion at work whcih is a bit daunting and exciting at the same time. i do think i will do a good job of it though
N lost his first tooth this week (well aside from the one we got pulled) - so grown up. i think the next one will fall out today or tomorrow too. Can you believe they arenearly finished prep? that just freaks me out!
J had an acident at school this week and has his forehaed glued :-( they wanted to stitch it but he wouldnt let them so i hope it turns out ok. poor little man ran to his teacher and fell and split his head on a book shelf. its been a hard week!
my mum has the boys today and i am havung some me time, meant to be at yoga but i got stuck cleaning out the boys wardrobes. i'll head for a walk soon. then day spa and shopping and dinner and drinks with my girlfriends. nice.
Mp - sounds like a good day.
Went to the doctor yesterday and walked out with a prescription for acne as well as a diagnosis of osteoarthritis - both ends of the aging spectrum!
Not much else to report. We are in full on ballet performance mode which is 4 hours each Sunday. We're also doing a special practice this afternoon at one of the other kindy's houses because they really need it - they are all down the front in the final group performance and just looked so confused the poor little things.
I also can't believe they're almost finished kindy. All the orientations are starting for next years group and ours just look so big!
MP, Yay for the promotion! I am sure you will be awesome. Hope J is alright and heals without a scar xx
Cally, did you decide where to go on holiday? Sucks about the Dr appointment!
I am jumping back on for a visit - promised myself no internet until after my exam but DH is away (BIL drama #167), so I am home alone and bored.
Not that I have much to report. Everything just ticks along. It is amazing that 2013 is almost over and our kids have nearly finished a whole year at school already.
Cass, how are you going with the move and with E?
Cally - wow coming up to 10 years?! I suspect we've known you for more than half of that? LOL! I googled Lord Howe - it looks gorgeous, go for it! Bugger on the osteo & acne. :( Hopefully you will get some results.
MP - congrats on your promotion! You said the last one was going to be daunting and... here you are! LOL. No I *cannot* believe our babies are nearly finished prep. Youch @ J's head, hope it's healing nicely. I had a small LOL at you getting stuck into the wardrobes instead of going to yoga... it's kinda quality time, right?
Arte - so glad you managed to wend your way back! :D Sorry to hear more BIL dramas. How's the ole study going? That exam must be in your sights by now?
AFM - well no move for now (but not until after there was a three-way mexican staring competition) and DH got his promotion so it looks like that's the carrot that will keep him lining up for his sucky job for another X many years of my life :wall:. Apart from that, Little A's has started for the season, miss E blasted her first 500m, and pink lego is still in high rotation in our house.
DD1 has put a carved pumpkin on the doorstep and I have 5 million eyeball lollies to hand out, but I suspect it will mostly be my own DD's ringing the doorbell today. Happy Halloween for anyone doing anything about it!
Hello again, all. I hope everyone's had a nice weekend. DD2 went off to a Little A meet this morning and won a couple of the races - it wouldn't ordinarily happen because there are another couple of fast ones in her home age group. But at this meet, only 1 girl from each club could run in each heat... so she got to win for once. LOL. It's sports day later this week, so we're all prepped now with green t-shirt, socks & shoelaces. Such an unglamorous colour.
Cass, how are the big move plans coming along?
I'm over dancing concert practice. Really over it. It will be 5 days, plus the concert day, all on weekends (and right in the middle of the day, ie 11 - 2). And apparently we're doing a performance at a community event the weekend immediately after the concert which requires a practice on the Saturday as well as the performance on the Sunday. So ends up being 8 days impacted. I'm getting even more cranky about it as I type that!! Grr...
Miss K did a school walkathon on Friday - 3.5km. Was hoping she'd sleep in over the weekend, but no such luck.
MD - We are in the green house too. Bottle green, same as the house I was in at school. You're right, not very glamourous!
I'm also over work - so unmotivated. Probably should be working now....
:hug: Cally - you sound pooped! Fwiw my friends dd spent a while doing dancing & calisthenics & they all get crazy in the lead up to performances. Keep on trucking, you will pop out the other side soon. Xxx
I thought y'all had run for the hills...for some reason i have not been getting notifications on this thread????
Thank goodness you are all still here! phew!
*crap, just read back i have missed LOADS!*
MP: always the way: get a moment for yourself and the odd jobs start poking up and beckoning you lol. hope the wardrobes look fabulous and tidy though...i get a real kick out of the (temporary) order of my kids room lol.
ohhh day spa...if only. bring me too! :lol:
how's Js head?
and wahoo on the promotion! i wonder if they got wind of your almost move away?? something like that can serve as a quick kick up the bum for those sitting on their laurels taking you for granted.
Cally: whhhaaattt??! how many rehearsals? that is insane! poor Marta has to make do with once a week practice for her dance concert...but hers will be awesomely craptacular hahahaha. please dont tell me that you have to make costumes...i might just feint from the mere thought lol.
Arte: it is awesome-sauce to see you back! i meant to text you the other day...but then wasnt sure if that was stalkerish lol.
i too will be flying solo soon as DH jets off for a fabulous time in the US while i am stuck here...packing the house. i am rotten jealous. he gets to eat tasty taco and i get to cook every meal every day and it will be boring.
MD: oh i used to LOVE little As! i would like to get leila into that once the move is over. i hope that there is one close by.
how many trick or treaters did you get? we had a good haul for our annual street halloween. around 100 kids i reckon. it was pretty fun! Miss L dressed up as a vampire bat witch and Miss M was a witch and Miss E and myself were spiders.
a bit of a Yay for promotion but a bit of a boo for it meaning that you are stuck with sucky job and the hardships that it brings on your family xx now that we will have a massive house in the country you will visit us whenever he is away, 'kay?!
AFM: have begun busily packing. the mere prospect is so daunting, i am so frightened that i wont get it all done in time.
But! i am all enthused for the move (I spent a couple of weeks there in tears at the thought of the big life changes ahead and not wanting to risk it all ITMS) again as we got to see the new house again...ahh bliss! it reminded me of why were doing it and what it represents for our new life. i hope that we get to realise some of those whimsical dreams :D
Miss E is ONE! Can you believe it?! i am in shock lol! i have spent so much of her first year just in survival mode, that really, i feel i have missed out a bit on the baby part IYKWIM. the fantastic news is though that she has been seizure free for almost 9 weeks! and boy oh boy what a fabulous change in her there has been! she now has energy to play and laugh and chat. it is really, quite confronting now as we reflect on life over the last year of just how not well she really was. we have no answers as to what has been going on with her at all. it has been a very scary place to be, watching her go through it and not knowing what to do and how to help: and simultaneously having the hospital tell you that it is unfortunate but not life threatening and therefore to just go home and suck it up (ie: she'll get over it). i get it, i really do, they deal with really sick kids, but by gosh miss E was not great, one of her worst periods was 72 hours where she had in excess of 80 seizures a day...for three days. it was ugly. but since then (september) we have been home free. the change in her is immeasurable.
Hello Lovelies :)
Cass, a very big (and belated) Happy Birthday to Miss E!! That is absolutely fantastic news that she is seizure free. That must have been a freaking nightmare to live through. I know things could have been worse, but that little bit of abstract knowledge doesn't help much when something like that is happening in your own family :hug:.
How long is your DH away for? Try not to stress about the moving. As long as you have boxes it can all be chucked in on packing day. Believe me, BTDT many times :)
Cally, that is a massive time commitment! Luckily W isn't overly into any club type activities and I haven't signed A up for dancing yet because she doesn't really follow instructions well enough. But of course, just when she was getting near ready they have announced that the lady won't be coming to town next year and we will either have to skip it or drive 45 minutes each way which I don't see happening for a 30 minute lesson. Perhaps I will sway her to tai kwon do - that will still be here next year.
MD, at least you don't have to move :hug: I don't suppose his promotion came with any better hours/conditions?
AFM, I actually have news!!!! It has been an eventful week - exam done and dusted, tubes all tied and infertility reins supreme (hopefully!!), and the biggest news - WE GOT A DOG!!!!!!!
He is just a little thing, foxy x and I suspect there is some jack russell in there by his body shape/stance. He is called Benny and he is around 1 year old. He is a pound dog that was running out of time. The kids are absolutely thrilled. W has big plans for teaching him tricks, A has such a kind heart and E is full of squashing love. Apparently he came from a house with a few young kids so he is used to the rush of it all. I do have issues with a well loved dog being taken from a caring home because of council fees and fines, but I guess at least he has ended up somewhere good. The cat doesn't seem overly impressed but she has a slight size advantage so I think it will work out.
Oh Arte how awesome is that??!!! the best way to celebrate the 'no more babies' phase...a furbaby!!
I bet the cat is unimpressed :lol:
Cass - No. I don't run. Ever. That's the golden rule. LOL. Deffo do the Little A's thing if you can. DH is really getting into it, he's on the committee now, and DD1 goes up there to serve in the canteen as well. I stay at home and enjoy the P&Q instead. We had half a dozen groups of kids come past, that's pretty busy for our street. Everyone loved DD1's jack o' lantern. And good luck with the big move! Deep breaths, babe.
Arte - Hope you're recuperating nicely from the tube-tieing :hug:. Well done hanging in there with the study, too. And yay for doggie love! LOL at the cat having a size advantage, not that it matters, every cat knows they are a born leader.
AFM - worn out. DD1 asked me "comb out some tangles" last night. She had FOUR MASSIVE DREADLOCKS that took FIVE HOURS to get out :o. I was able to salvage most of it but there was a nasty little pixie nest at the end that I had to cut out. have no idea how she let it get that bad (or how she managed to keep it hidden). Bleh. So I feel under-recreated now. Other than that, all is well. E's sports day was postponed (rainy weather) so the green tshirt is still awaiting its maiden voyage.
Ahh, ballet concert all over. Ended up going really well. I think I was just so cranky about it last time because there weren't any of the mums there that weekend that I have been enjoying catching up with.
Arte - oooh, infertility!! We finally got that too, more than 6 months after DH's snip.
MD - wow at the dreadlocks. Had she just been doing the superficial brushing of the top layer? You were patient - I would have cut them out and hoped she'd learn her lesson!
Cally: 6 months??? it took that long to clear after the snip? woah! i had no idea it could take that long :o
did she have fun at her concert?
MD: 5 hours???? now that is impressive :lol: (i dont run ever either. like never ever. actually, i lie, i ran across the road and down the street the other day - to go to the bottle-o lol - and it just felt so wrong and i realised that i need a better bra).
AFM: just dropped DH off at the airport :( I so wish that i was going with him!
The 6 months was because we average only once a week, plus DH can only really take the test in the school holidays because it's too hard to do during work time. So he might have been fine earlier, but we didn't know. I think he was told it would take about 20 goes for it all to clear.
Yep, she had fun at the concert - especially because 2 of her little friends came back to our place (being the closest) in the hour space we had before the second performance.
OMG MD - if that was my kid she would have a shiny new cropped hair do after 20 minutes of detangling! You are a star! Tube op went really well. I didn't even hurt enough to bother with a panadol. DH gave me a whole day to spend in bed watching telly, which I didn't really need but it probably won't be offered again in my lifetime so I made the most of it lol.
Cally, that is a long time to wait! That was half of my decision - if DH ever actually got the snip, he wouldn't go back for testing to check it had actually worked. I have a friend that had to send her DH back for a second go.
Cass, bummer about your DH going somewhere fun and you staying at home :( That really sucks.
I am having an occupational crisis of sorts. I have always known, but it has just sort of hit me that next year E will be in kindy and what the heck will I do with myself all day if she is gone from 8.45 to 2.45pm several days a week? It just struck me that if I want to enrol in any study that I need to decide and do it now. Psychology won't be finished until the end of next year, so I can't do post grad in that area. Not sure what else I could do. I can't believe how quickly it all turns around - all those years where it was hard to find even a few minutes to myself and now my problem is the exact opposite lol.
Cally - yay for the ballet concert! I bet K was adorable. I totally get what you mean about wanting the social diversion of catching up with other mums, especially when you work long hours. And yay for planned infertility too. You'll be making the most of your anniversary getaway then, won't you ;).
Cass - sorry but PMSL here at you running to the BOTTLE-O??! Need plonk, STAT!! How long is DH away for? Have you moved/when are you moving?
Arte - glad your op went well & you've recovered nicely. Wow I can't believe that E is nearly in the kindy ...?!! Are you looking at starting some post-grad study after the end of next year, so the problem is what to do with yourself for the year until that starts? Is there anywhere you could volunteer that is somehow associated with the general direction you'd like to pursue? OR are there some other skills (eg some kind of computer software, conflict management, OHAS, train the trainer, project management, cultural awareness) that you could learn in a short-course form that would fill in some gaps on your future resume. OR do you really just not know at all what direction to point yourself in? You're pretty smart, you've done smart-person work in the past which means you have all sorts of research, conceptual and analytical skills that are 100% transferable so I'm sure there are plenty of options, esp if you're looking at moving to the little big-smoke at some point down the track.
Re the dreads - about half that time was the very last mega-dread - the others were easier to get out - but once we'd already sat there it seemed wrong to abandon it half way. Plus the mega-dread was pretty close to her scalp so if I'd cut it she would have gone straight back to the too short to put up, too long to have down at school zone. Anyway she's on notice, last time she had her hair cut I told her she needed to get some of the length taken off (poor condition at the ends) and she pretty much ignored me so this time she doesn't get a say.
Yeah, time keeps rolling on. E will be 2.5 at the start of the year and will probably go to kindy for at least some half days and by term 3 she will be there probably 3-4 days a week - I often stay there with her for an hour or two in the mornings and she is keen as to stay longer.
I think the issue is a bit of everything. I have two papers to do next year but they are a double and a semester 2 and won't take up all my free time. I keep gravitating to post grad in educational psychology, which is dealing with the learning disorders, gifted, adhd. But that can't be done until 2015 because I have to finish current course first. I don't know. I keep coming up with a thousand ideas but really, we are so far away from everything here it makes it hard - that is why I did psych in the first place because it was the only thing I could do entirely from home with zero on campus component.
Arte, the educational psych stuff would be FASCINATING. I'm 100% interested in all things psych/neuropsych/learning/memory/cognition at the moment. And add to that anything about positive psychology & motivation. The more I read, the more fascinating it gets - lucky for me there have been a whole bunch of really interesting and engaging non-fic books published on this stuff over the last few years so I've got plenty to go on with LOL. But I dunno, maybe you don't need to pack your schedule full the second E is out of the door for a couple of hours - you know it can do a girl a lot of good to have some plain, unstructured down time.
MD, looks like we are covering the same ground atm! I think the ed psych work would be very interesting and it is the sort of job like midwifery where it helps if the person has lived it itms. I have also been strongly considering doing a hypnotherapy course next year, just for interests sake. I know I shouldn't overfill my schedule but now is the time to enrol in any courses and I really really don't do well when I am bored. Luckily this time of year is pretty busy and my days seem to be filling up easily.
We should compare notes - I am pretty sure we are both looking into inattention dominant ADHD. Let me know if you have found anything interesting that you think might be worth a shot. Atm we are trying exercise (homolateral and contralateral, progressing to crossover when able) and Omega 3.
Just wanted to stop in and say hello to you all. I hope your all well.
Can you believe our babies first school year is almost finished!! Crazy!
Oz!! Didn't see your post - didn't mean to leave you hanging! Many congrats on the new bubba coming to join your family :) I bet s/he will be totally gorgeous like L and Z.
Hello!! Good to see you Oz :hug: !
Arte, I will compose a reply when I get a moment - am supposed to be getting all my tax goodies together for the accountant tomorrow.
MD, good luck with the accountant. I hope he/she has good news for you :)
I just found out yesterday that there are only another 12 school days for the year!! Far out that came around fast! W is having a kid over for his first sleepover tomorrow. Am I supposed to plan some sort of activities? The boy doesn't come from a game console home and he usually gravitates towards that so I think that I might be set? Can you do that? lol, I don't know what I am doing.
Sure, if he doesn't usually play with something like that, why not. Whatever keeps them busy I reckon - the best part of going to someone's house is playing with different toys.
Christmas tree up tomorrow. K and I wrapped some presents this morning. Still need to get some more things, mainly just little ones though and a watch for DH (but I think he should come and help pick it out).
Got an email from the school late yesterday that there is a 2 hour strike on Tuesday - when I mentioned to DH it was short notice, he said 'oh, they've been talking about it all week'. Grr, didn't think to warn me that it might be happening! I swear he still is in too much 'teacher mode' and forgets he is actually a 'school parent' now.
Hello peeps!
I have been without any real internet for far too long...but finally have connection!
We are in the new house....wahoo!
Oz: eeepppp! so excited for you! and no, i can not believe that this year is drawing to a close. it is crazy town.
Cally: your DH and my DH must come from the same factory: mine is terrible at passing on critical school information like the need to have money ready for the 100th pot head sprouting kit...seriously, i think it must be a revenue winner for the school as we have had 3 this year hahaha.
Arte: have been thinking of you heaps lately as we are in the situation of choosing schools: the local one sorta down the road or the small school in the next town with 30 kids. my heart is set on the smaller school but at 8kms distance it turns out to be around 7000kms a year of driving. not sure that i am up that haha.
MD: hope the tax man will be fruitful!
AFM: well, the big move is out of the way. we are in the casa and the tree is up and the garden is ginormous (that's a real word 'kay?). thankfully we have a ride on lawnmower and i have nominated DH as driver :lol:
it was a hellish 2 weeks. DH was away in LA and i had to pack the whole house by myself. then, on our trip up to visit mum i got gastro...on the way to the airport. it was insane! 3 kids, carseats, luggage and gastro...woohoo!
i look forward to the coming weeks of just settling in and trying to take it easy for a bit. pity that the gardens are a bit of a mess as the house was empty for 6 months (there was a gardener but they must of only been on basic tidying and mowing duty). i have more roses than you can poke a stick at and well over 50 plum trees. i also have spotted cherry trees and apple trees.
Cally, we got the tree up on the 1st this year for probably the first time ever :) You are doing better than me - I have yet to tackle the wrapping and there is no way anything will sit under the tree lol. Usually I leave it until Xmas eve and then I am up past midnight wrapping but this year I will have be organised since we will be away for xmas day.
Cass, your new house sounds lovely! I bet the serenity is amazing after being inner city.
As for schools, I am a huge fan of the small rural school. Don't think of the yearly tally of driving - 8kms is about 10 minutes drive? That really isn't far. I drive 10 minutes each way to the bus. It can be a pain at times, but it is worth it to us. I can only suggest that you take L to visit both the schools, stay for a decent amount of time - a half day or even ask if she can have a trial for a whole day and see which school she prefers and which one gives you the best feel. 30 kids is a fantastic amount. Is that split over two classes?
Not much happening here. I didn't realise how much work a pound dog would be. He has all sorts of bad habits. He was terrible for chewing hands but I have mostly stopped that but he is still prone to wandering off (not as bad as the start when he was down the road at every opportunity), he sometimes craps inside, and if I growl at him he slinks along the ground and wets himself. He has obviously been beaten previously. He has improved a lot though. He has a nice nature and potential to be a good family dog. It is worth it for the look on A's face, she just loves him to bits.
Cass - 8kms of driving really isn't that much. Is there a bus or you might find someone willing to carpool. You need to go with your gut for schooling, if L is happy, that is the most important. Would have been much more convenient for K to go to the school up the road from work, but I love the fact that she sees her friends out and about when we go for bike rides, down to the beach etc. Fruit trees sound awesome!!
I had words with DH - he's now got a mental note in his head for major school disruption issues 'tell principal, tell front office, tell wife'. We'll see if it sticks!
My family is doing a Secret Santa this year - much easier only having to worry about 2 people instead of 8. There's still 3 December birthdays and the kids, but everyone has a wishlist on Amazon to give us ideas. That's why I'm feeling so organised.
i think i need to get Miss L to the smaller school! we were walking in town today and the grandmother of one of the kids (who also runs the library at the school) bumped into us and was just so warm and loving...argh! so confused! i also loved that the admin lady had her baby boy in at work with her bouncing away on his bouncer...so family, so awesome.
Cally, love the secret santa thing! IL's suggested last night no presents between adults, which I am totally down with! In my family we only do presents for the kids anyway. It feels dumb swapping gift cards.
Cass, you will find an awesome community at the little school. At W's school the principal release teacher who teaches for two days brings her wee boy in - he wriggles and rolls around the floor and sleeps in his pram.
ohh secret santa is a fabulous idea! but then again...in our case, considering that it will just be DH and I secret santa-ing eachother...won't really work :ROFL:
Went to the optometrist today fully expecting to leave as a fully fledged member of the bifocal club but instead there was an unsettling amount of "that's interesting" and "I'm surprised at that" and "it's quite unusual"...apparently one of my eyes has randomly improved and the lens is now too strong making everything blurry. Glad I don't need the bifocals just yet :)
That is probably the most exciting thing happening around here lol. When is school finishing up for everyone? W finishes on Tuesday. There is a prize giving on Monday - in a school of 5 kids I am not sure how that works!
Monthly pay sucks the most at this time of year.
Miss K finishes next Wednesday, DH on the Friday (a couple of pupil free days for training - and paintball!!)
Arte - I am so glad we have fortnight pay - my first job was monthly and it was really hard.
Cass - which school did you decide on? Our SS is set up so you can't get your partner. Obviously not the same set up for my sister's in-laws as she has managed to get her husband and he has her!
My sleeping has turned to crap (did so at this time last year) - but this morning I managed to sleep through DH getting up AND DD didn't wake me up (she sat on the couch waiting for DH to get out of the shower then was playing schools when I woke up. I feel so much better today. And it wasn't even really late - 6:41am!! Just the difference in my body waking me up rather than being woken up.
Cally, it is amazing how much difference a natural wake up makes rather than an enforced one! Have you ever tried Tart Cherry Juice? Did I mention that last year? Probably lol. I have heard good things about it but maybe more for initiating sleep than early wake ups. How is your back now?
how is everyone??
Cally: i found that once i no longer was woken up by an alarm i just felt better...with the alarm i always felt groggy and a bit upset in the belly...always just assumed it was my inability to love mornings hahahaha.
AFM: well, we have popped the 'worm' cherry in this house...so gross! Miss L came home with them and it really took me by suprise lol! i had to really go back in the old memory vault to remember what to do lol!
Worms!! Gross!! Haven't crossed that bridge yet. Nits either. I am sure we will meet some time in the future.
Spent all day packing and arranging ready to head off on our trip tomorrow. This year went rather quickly - doesn't seem like that long ago that we were leaving for the caravan trip last summer.
dude! was that a year ago???!!! woah....my mind is blown away by that realisation! crazy!
worms! i know right??!!! it was super gross...they were everywhere :sick:
does anyone who has dealt with them before know of any tips? we did the combantrin or whatever it is called and have washed all the sheets and only been having showers etc. but do you do a repeat dose to make sure no eggs hatched afterwards??
And today is Miss Ls LAST day of her first year of school!!!!!!!!!
hi everyone!
thought i would pop on and say hello - sorry I am so absent. I love logging on when I have time and seeing how everyone is going!
Cass - sounds like the move has gone well, i hope the country life agrees with you all - it sounds pretty special. has miss L made some friends at school? that is always a good way to enter a new community i think.
Arte - cant believe that has been a year and you are off again. this year has gone so quickly! so you ended up sending W to the smnaller school - how is that going?
Hi to everyone else :-)
Well all is going well here, I am still working today and tomorrow as we are so busy! but then off to the beach house for 2 weeks on wednesday and I cant wait! will be a relaxed time, quite a bit of entertaining but really looking fwd to that! we need a holiday badly!
DH was away in Vietnam last week - thankfully he is back now and with the kids today (they went to see cloudy with a chance of meatballs!)
I cant believe N has finished prep - and will now be in the leadership gropup of the ELC! amazing how grown up they are! his end of year concert was so great and he read out a page of info about their 'class flag' to everyone - so prou dof his confidence standing up in front of 75 families and doing that. wow! J has grownso much this year in lower kinder and was also chosen to do a presentation to the ELC principal to celebrate her 30 yr anniversary as principal - i am inspired by their confidence which is all i can ask for them really.
cant remember if i told you all about the dental issues N had? well they have recommended an op in early jan - am hoping ti get a 2nd opinion as it seems a little OTT but lets see.
everything else is good here. i just finished a boot camp and really imprved my fitness. hoping to start barre classes when we are back from hols.
Hope you all have a great xmas with your families.
xxxx
I just wanted to quickly wish you all a very Merry Christmas :heartbeat::heartbeat:
