Trying a new exercise routine! PMSL!

Well, I've pretty much had enough of being fat and frumpy. If I dont want to fork out $$$ for a new winter wardrobe (as tempting as that is), I've really got to shift some weight. So next week I'm doing.... A POLE DANCING CLASS!!! Yep, you read that right! A pole dancing studio has opened in town. I went and checked it out a week ago, and they rang up and offered a free class next week to try it out and see what I think. This should be interesting!

A Years Worth of Updates!

Oh boy, how slack am I! I just looked at my last update and it was over a year ago! Lordy, how time flies! So much has happened since then! Ok, family updates:

Chris - Chris got his MR licence and is now a bus driver! He started off working casually at Kynoch Coaches, but was then offered Permanent Part-Time at Stonestreets Coaches so switched there. He's been working for Stonestreets for a few months now and just loves it. He gets HEAPS more hours than where he was before, with lots of charter work etc, plus he has a school run morning and afternoons as well. He just loves his job!

Me - I've recently joined up as a Learning Ladder Sales Adviser. Learning Ladder are a Direct Sales company which specalises in childrens books. I've only just started, but am really enjoying it. I have another party tomorrow, so wish me luck!

Matty - He's going great! He goes to a mainstream kindy 2 days a week now, and to AEIOU 3 days a week. We have him enrolled at Gabbinbar State School for prep next year, as they have an awesome special ed section. He's getting big now (4.5 years!) and can be a ratbag sometimes, but he's generally a good kid.

Becca - Becca is over two years now! She is going great as well. She goes to daycare 2 days a week (the same two days as Matty) and is starting to talk HEAPS. I don't think we need to worry about her being autistic - she is such a chatterbox! Bec is VERY headstrong, and knows exactly what she does and does not like. For example, she already picks out her clothes for the day, and if you try to dress her in something she doesn't like - look out!!! She's a bit of a drama queen as well. What can I say? She's two! lol

We had a quiet Easter this year. We went over to Mum and Dads for lunch on Good Friday, then to Chris' Mum and Dad's for lunch on Sunday. BIL and the kids cousins were there, and they all had a good time. Got way too much chocolate! lol Not that I'm really complaining mind you, but the weight is starting to stack on!

Which brings me to my next subject - getting fit (yeah yeah Gail, I can hear you rolling your eyes from the other end of the country! lol). Guess what I'm considering doing. POLE DANCING. Yep, you read that right! There is a ladies only pole dancing studio here in town. I've been up to have a look and it looks fantastic! $15 a session, or $12.50 a session for a 10 session pass. Seriously considering it! Heck, I need to do SOMETHING, and it looks like a lot of fun. Chris is VERY supportive of the idea (typical bloke!). Just got to find the funds!

Well, that's it from me for tonight. Will try and update this once a week (really, I will try! lol). Hope everyone had a great Easter. Love and hugs! Helen xx
