Getting a treadmill

I have been thinking about getting a treadmill for ages and I've decided its time to get one. I've not been getting the exercise that I should be recently with the weather getting worse and me being a bit lazy so getting one will help. I should easy do the recommended 10,000 steps a day with what I'd do normally plus a couple of 20 minute sessions on the treadmill.

I went to a shop near us today and was shown one for about £400 which would suit me just fine. The guy in the shop said there's no need to spend silly money on one if I'm just walking on it.

I'm gonna get rid of the console area in the playroom (leather recliner and TV and consoles) and put it there cos my consoles are downstairs these days anyway.

Its pumpkin time!

I have finally fully moved over to the new beta of blogger and sorted out all my old posts so that they look good in my new blog style. What a ballache but hopefully I won't change style again.

I've got 2 nice, big pumpkins waiting for me to carve downstairs. Once is for Deb's friend Dawn's kid cos it's his birthday on Halloween and the other is for me :-) I've got some pretty cool template faces off t'interweb so they should look really good.

Deb is currently baking a chocolate cake to take with her to Zorha's cos her and Krupa are going there for tea.

United are currently 2 - 0 up against Bolton with Rooney scoring both goals. About time his goal drought ended!

Fifa 2007

I got Fifa 2007 for the 360 yesterday. I've been playing the demo now for about a month so I know I like it but it has to be said that it is very different to last year's for a gameplay point of view. I suppose the best way to explain it is that it seems more realistic which means that you really need to adjust how you play the game. I've started it straight on world class and have won 4 and lost 1.

The graphics a big improvement with player animations being especially good this time. Also, its nice to have Andy Gray back on the commentary so that its more like when you watch a match on Sky. Andy Townsend is shite anyway!

1st post in ages

With everything that has happened in the last few months we haven't put much effort into doing a lot of the things we'd normally be doing. We've been going through the motions to a certain extent. Hopefully we're getting back on track now though!

Deb went back to work last week. She's only doing 3 mornings a week so far but it suits her. She's getting tired by it quite easily but she seems to be coping. Over the next few weeks she's going to up her hours so that she is working mornings every day but that is as far as it will go. Her work don't know that yet but she's gonna tell them that she only wants to work part time and if they don't like it she is just gonna quit!

I've moved to blogger beta and sorted out my style template to something I like and I'm now making use of labels. You never know, I might actually starting blogging regularly ;-)

Hopefully over the worst of it

We went to Marc's Dad's funeral on Friday and it went as well as can be expected. Deb did get upset as I suspected she would be she wasn't too bad.

I think that we are all starting to get over the worst of it about Deb's dad and are starting to move forward but silly little things set you off still. Sometimes you just forget that it has happened like when we were watching TV the other day and Deb said she'd have to tell her Dad about the program we were watching.

On the moving forward note, we were supposed to get a new carpet for the living room and stairs fitted weeks ago and we got it done the other day. It looks really good and today we are going to the dreaded Ikea (I'm on holiday this week) to see if we can find a few odds and sods to finish the living room off.

I've not got much planned for the week other than pottering round the house so I'm hoping it will be relaxing!
