STRICTLY COME DANCING STARTS AGAIN SEPTEMBER 2010

  Ok so autumn is here and so is STRICTLY COME DANCING…the usual formula of a few oldies, few funnies, a sportsman/woman or two, a couple of yummy blokes, a few wannabes and the sexy young beauties with legs that go on forever and are on show in tiny bits of glittery fabric called ’outfits’…. The costumes are pretty, sparkly and revealing and that’s just the men… I am guessing the botox will be included as part of the make-up routine for some of those ladies (and possibly the men)…ouch! This season the beeb have stuck to this tried and tested type line-up, someone for everyone in your family, for … Read More »

ANOTHER WEEK, ANOTHER START DETOX

Apart from falling off the wagon last week into my delicious lasagne, the detox plan went pretty well.  I consciously drank more water than I have in years, had no alchohol at all and restricted the coffee to once a day –  and had the most terrible headache all week.  Well, it wasn’t that bad – just enough to make me feel grumpy and lethargic.  I felt hungrier than usual, a side effect I know of any kind of healthy eating/living regime when all you do is think ahead to the next meal, and yesterday shared half a slice of cake with a friend.  No, … Read More »

FANTASY LIST… OH YES I SO WOULD

  This may well be an odd list of  ’oh yes I so would if given half a chance’. Some of the girls on twitter have inspired the list, and I can tell you there are some wonderful dirty little minx on twitter! So first Tom Selleck…now wait, I can hear you groan… Tom in his ‘Friends days’ he was my ideal then! Alan Rickman just because he has the most come-to-bed voice ever, Hugh Lawrie.. let’s face it we all kinda fall in love with our doctors especially if they are making us feel better and if they are hot…all the better! Will Smith… he … Read More »

DETOX DAY 1

With great enthusiasm, I started.  Lots of water, only a small coffee, more water, healthy breakfast and lunch and then hey presto!  An impromptu supper out and a sublime spinach and goats cheese lasagne with an illegal amount of goats’ cheese  probably undid all the good of the day.  Peter Rabbit would have been proud of the spinach intake and I felt very green when I woke this morning, but a stressful morning with major computer issues necessitated two coffees so now its back to water only. There’s no doubt about it, thinking about food and what is and isn’t healthy definitely makes you more … Read More »

THE FIRST OF THE MONTH…KEEP FIGHTING FIT

There’s nothing like the first day of the month to start something, so in a strictly back to school/new uniform/getting ready for autumn mood, I’m going to let this first day of September be my gateway to the autumn and winter months and endeavour to get fit to fight those bugs that are hovering just around the corner and dying to come inside and keep warm in my central heating. Just as Cupcake is buffing, moisturising and massaging the years away with fabulous organic products, my  first stop has to be diet – urgh.  Not the starving myself and utter denial variety, this will be … Read More »
