What are five simple exercises to do at home?

Let’s just say i am always on the go, and there are many simple excerzizes we do every day without realising.

1: steps not just around the house but think about the cardio and leg muscles you use just climbing the stairs.

I lose count of how many times that happens in a day , but it is definitely on avengers more then 50 times

Chair squats is another thing because every time I go to sit down, someone wants something , I am like a yo yo. Lol

Weight training thats carrying a family of 6 ironing

Dancing always dancing

I had a most affective work out the other day in garden chopping a tree that had to go.

10 hours my muscles were pumped.

Last one I excersize my jaw with my yapping very tight jaw muscles.

Well not exactly a proper gym work out

Or simple excersizes but every little bit you do keeps you living longer

How did you meet your significant other?

Our journey together started on May 4th, 1993.

There was a local fun pub named the Game Bird. Which is where my Now hubby worked.

A little bit of History about the Game Bird

This pub was a classic pub and the go-to place of  the 90s, maybe before as well.

Could be a little roudy on occasion.

But always packed people have great memories of this place, the atmosphere, and the friendships we made.

It had everything from quiz nights , airport nights, karaoke, comedy sketches, maybe a few odd nights were a little more adult and risky.  Little shows

This was the pub that definitely needed bouncers on the door who were a vital part of the team.

The bar staff were all singing and dancing infact the end of the evening, all the bar staff downed their things and sometimes jumped on a bar to do the nightly YMCA , music man, Wig Wham Bam dance.

At sometimes after I met hubby, I became a bar maid there for a few months.

Behind the decs was either my hubby or Ian the other dj of them times

There were also live nights with singers from all over joining to bring entertainment and their own music to all the customers.

Some old posters from that time.

So, back to how I met my significant other.

That night, I was there with friends. Music was buzzing. Hubby was on the decs doing his thing, something he had this great talent for.

I noticed him previously on other nights, but I never said anything, but my friends picked up that  I liked him.

So as the evening went on they kept telling me to go talk to him.  In the end they dared me to go ask him to dance. 

I remember this as if it were yesterday he was not well had some dodgy prawns or something his mum made hadn’t agreed with him.

So there i was finally getting the courage to ask him for a dance. He smiled and said sorry I got to GO. That food poisoning spoiled the moment lol.

But we finally did get that dance, and he asked me on a proper date.

The beginnings of our life together whirl wind. To souls connected , love, lots of laughter, the same values for life, family orientated. We still tease and wind each other up. We both have irritating habits that annoy the other person, but life would be boring without that.

We always connected and know each other better than we know anyone else

We were inseparable from that day on here. We are many years later facing the ups and downs of life together.

Parents, friends, partners thats it for today’s blog

If you could rewrite any book’s ending, which one would you choose?

I would choose my own Emo the Emotional Elf ,

The ending would be the dedication page for all the family we lost.

If had the opportunity to not dedicate pages yo people who passed away but have them back here full of life.

Buy unfortunately we can’t bring people we love back only keep the memory of them in pages on a special book

Much love faye

What’s a promise you made to yourself that you’ve actually kept?

Be kind to myself lol , well my cholestrol was very high but its getting back down  to good levels had to have a change in meds because it was giving me bad muscle cramps and fuzzy brain I am determined to do what needs to be done persever with the meds.

At first I thought I would rather try with just tweaking diet that made no difference so meds it is.

Shall be seeing the hospital in novemeber to look at my families history genetically speaking high cholestol is a problem , my mum and dad both had it and with the risk or heart attack and stoke in my family i would be very silly not to do everything possible to lower my risk.

Actually, using the app helps me see the progress that helps me make informed choices when I then have to discuss with pharmacists or doctors.

So that’s the thing I promised myself to be proactive in health before any damage is done.

Much love Faye
