So, last night as the weather was half decent I got the lawn mower out. The garden looked a bit neglected and weeds were springing up, so I mowed them down. I keep meaning to put some weedkiller/lawn feed down, but it's usually raining the day I want to. But it looks good. I did all the lawn except under the garden table. :)

After lots of conversations with mum last night we realised my sisters' father was due to visit her at about 11am this morning, which screwed up my plans totally. I can't stand him and definitely didn't want to see him.

But, it turned out rather nicely. I'm now visiting Sis tomorrow, but I have had a very relaxing day. Woke early and then went back to sleep til 8.30am. The sun was shining and I had the whole day stretching onwards. We were sposed to be staying in to wait for furniture to be delivered, so I had no plans.

Rang mum and asked her to come over so we could chill out together - we haven't spent quality time together in ages, and Missymouse's words were on my mind. Anyway, the furniture was delivered by about 10am and hubby set to with a screw driver. Dont'cha just love flat pack furniture! :no:

I got a bit of housework done before my ma arrived, and then we decided to go up town for a coffee, rather than stay indoors. We meandered along the sea front and got into town just as it was getting real busy (seaside town on a hot day!:**:) and headed along to get a few bits and bobs. Mum suggested going to Boots to get ourselves weighed up and I agreed.

According to their thing I am 5ft 3.7" weigh 12st 8lbs and have a BMI of 30.5 and body fat of 35.8%. I'm happy with that as I'd had breakfast and walked into town it sounds about right. Now according to Boots my ideal weight is:
7 stone 9lb - 10st 4lb

Now, I know I have some spare meat on me, but if I went down to 7st 9? I'd look like a black Keira Knightley, not a look I've EVER wanted. Even the upper limits would make me look quite gaunt. So, I have told hubby, if and when I get to 11st he is to stop me dieting. Just in case I get obsessive. Oh, god that worries me. A toned 11st 7 would actually be fine.

So, following that we looked round the shops, and then went for lunch in a nice cafe we often go to. I had a chicken salad sarnie and a green tea. Yum. Then, after we had bought everything we needed, and stuff we didn't too, we headed home via Waitrose and sat in the garden for an hour topping up our tans and reading our newspapers. Mum fell asleep in the sun after a while, it was great to see her so relaxed.

After mum went, hubby and I played a few rounds of our new swingball set. He beat me on each round but as he smashed the ball into my nose in one round I reckon I won by default! :yes:

Hubby cleared the shed whilst I cleaned the BBQ and hosed down the garden, then we both came indoors. The BBQ is on now, just waiting for it to cook off the chemical spray and heat up before we have burgers, peppers, mushrooms, possibly some onion for me, and a big salad for tea. The weather has taken a turn for the worse mind, and we are gonna end up eating it indoors.

What a carefree day. If only every day could be as relaxing.

Oh, that bookshelf hubby put up? It's too big for the corner we bought it for :`( Not good, but we will fit it in somewhere. Why oh why do I trust hubby measuring things up? The last thing we bought too big was a sofa that didn't fit through the front door! Thank goodness the shop took pity on us and let us swop it!

Enjoy the rest of your weekend folks.
