Crepey coalition of chaos

Roll up hags, for all things Hotter.

Thats great MrsW.

Marathon and weightlifting?

[MsMartini]

Maid, lifting callouses?

MrsW, well done the dds. One up, one down here - dd just got her finals result and all good and set fair for next year. ds managed to stay awake much of the night before two A levels today - has done one, struggled, is off to find a sofa or bush to lie on/under.

[MsMartini]

And that's amazing about the marathon, Maid. I like a bit of weightlifting (in circuits classes so not heavy, very satisfying though!).

[MaidOfStars]

PAHusband is not impressed with the combination of increased grip strength and rough, hobnail skin.

[MaidOfStars]

Congratulations to all the youngster exam success, and good luck for future ones. When do they finish? End of the month?

[Modestine]

Hmm, a new aim...lifting callouses...well done and welcome, Maid.

[MaidOfStars]

I would try to avoid callouses if possible. They bloody hurt when they rip off.

DD1 has gone to her Playgroup BFF's after her last-but-one exams. I am trying ineffectively to focus on a project I find v hard to organise. I suspect some lunch and possibly a trip down the road to get my toenails painted will help!

[bigTillyMint]

Ooh err Maid

Well done to your DD MsMartini!

[IDismyname]

Its the one bit of my fitness 'regime' (Ha! What a laughable word!) that is missing. I don't do enough weights.

Not too sure if I want to now Ive seen your hands, Maid - mine are crappy enough as it is!

In other news I went to Docs this morning for more HRT, and she told me that I have the blood pressure of a teenager!! Go ME. The 'regime' is paying off. Just got to loose about 2 bloody stone.

(I told her NOT to look at my last cholesterol test as that does not put me into any teenage category AT ALL)

[MsMartini]

Airborne, way to go! I have found weights/resistance very soothing on the stress front.

Maid, I haven't had much sleep and read "callouses" as a typo for say "80kg barbell" - not a side effect - duh .

Thanks, BTM she is very chuffed. Having been bonkers with tension for two days she is now bonkers with joy - and off on holiday tomorrow (wish I was).

[MsMartini]

Yes, that's right! (have reported post as name in it).

[Blackduck]

Checking in - will catch up later!
I am off home to deal with the bodies from the (bee we think) swarm...

[NoCureForLove]

Oh God. I'm sorry - what did I post?? Don't answer! I think I can guess. Apologies.

[NoCureForLove]

Is it safe to come back?

Have just purchased these beauties. I shall probably wear them with socks... www.lottafromstockholm.co.uk/clogs/low-heel-clogs/low-peep-toe-silver.html

Maid, I haven't had much sleep and read "callouses" as a typo for say "80kg barbell"
I can't lift 80kg.

76kg is my PB

I will get there.

NoCure They look excellent with tights. So I see from the ad thumbnail.

[bigTillyMint]

Love them Love. But not with socks

[NoCureForLove]

I think I could style it out BTM!

[Rosenspants]

Really trendy Love... aren't they a bit hard on the soles though? Is that why you'll be wearing them with socks?

All quiet here...resting my weary bones. I am worried about the state of the house and us generally. DS1 is bringing his GF to tea tomorrow for the first time. I have very little time to make anything, and even less to tidy up. I suspect we will use the garden. What can I throw together quickly?

[MrsKlugscheisser]

WEAR THEM WITH SOCKS?

DD2 thought you were one of the "cool crepey." I am not sure what she will say to SOCKS WITH SANDALS. Are you a 70 year old man called Bert?

[bigTillyMint]

MrsK.

Rose, stop fretting. I bet your house is plenty up to scratch. Shes probably way more nervous than you!

[Stropperella]

I say go for the socks. Flowery ones. That's what I do.

[NoCureForLove]

unless they are hideous / a bad fit / v uncomfortable I will wear them to the next MU - with socks... you can roll your eyes at me in person...

[MrsKlugscheisser]

I think you should wear a long denim skirt, Rose, a long sleeved shapeless T shirt and a hat, and fuss around the girl non-stop. (Meet the Frummers!)
