I didn’t even know that water softeners existed until a few months ago as I didn’t know that water ever even needed softening! I suppose I have been lucky up until now in that I have always lived in a soft water area as it’s certainly a bit of a pain having water that doesn’t do what you just expect it to do. It’s quite strange actually.

I have never really been interested in diet pills as I feel like they don’t really work, surely if there was a magic pill that let you eat what ever you like and not do any exercise to still lose weight – it’d be very well known, provided by doctors and cost an arm and a leg? Maybe they really do work for some people though, never say never

Oooh myfitnesspal has a new barcode scanner as part of their iphone app, it’s pretty awesome as rather than having to search the database to log the foods I can just scan the barcode and it automatically picks up the item and lists the nutritional information for it. It’s going to make logging all my food a whole lot easier – just a shame I don’t have my own iphone and will have to use my husbands.

Why do small netbooks have to be so darned cute? Every time I see one, especially in pink, I want to get out my credit card and buy it there and then. The thing is I don’t have the best eyesight and I need a bigger keyboard to type on so a small netbook would really be of no use to me so I just have to resist it

We need to go to the store at the weekend to pick up several items for the garden and a nice new infrared heater among other things. My other half hates having to go out shopping at the weekends as he’d rather be playing snooker or call of duty – but such is life, I am sure lots of people have to go out shopping when they’d really rather not.

I think I am going to start using some kind of calcium supplements, I already take Vitamin C and various other ones but having taken a very close look at my diet recently I realised I don’t get my daily recommended amount of calcium and I think I would struggle to fit it in through food. I don’t like to rely on supplements but sometimes they are necessary.

My cousin just started attending medical assistant school and she’s super excited about it – it’s something she has always wanted to do but ‘life’ got in the way as it often does and she’s only just been able to find the time to fit it in. I am happy for her and really hope that it works out for her

We were at the local DIY store a few days ago and they had some shindaiwa blowers at a mega bargain price – I had to practically drag my husband away kicking and screaming. Although they were a bargain we really don’t need one right now and have more ‘important’ things to spend our hard earned cash on so they simple had to be walked passed, awww, I hate missing a bargain.

Ahh I really want to get a few Adirondack chairs for the garden after seeing some at a friends house, not only do they look really great but they are really comfortable as well. It’s often hard to find garden chairs that are really comfy for long sessions of sitting on out in the heat, the ones we have now are awful and make your legs all sweaty.

I just had several scrubs uniforms delivered a few days ago – no I have not suddenly decided to become a nurse or any thing, we are going to use them for fancy dress! We have a big hen do in a few weeks time and wanted to go as nurses but all the actual costumes cost a fortune, it’s cheaper to get proper scrubs and pretty them up ourselves
