This brought back memories of my childhood – my brother insists that I sang this song every day for a year.
I just remember having the best time with this song – it was sooo funny and I had no idea what it meant but I loved it anyway.
I’ve finished the scarf that I started over 12 months ago! Obviously it’s not finished in this following picture, but I finished it very soon after taking it:

I’m now onto making a set of fingerless gloves. I’m about halfway through the first glove – shall let you all know and post pictures when the first one is complete!
I started this beanie/hat/thing last night, at about 12:30pm, after finding my yarn and needles in a box that we’d brought around from the storage shed. I found a pattern here and decided it sounded simple enough (and it really was!). This is the FIRST knitting project that I’ve actually completed – I’ve started many others but they’ve either sat unfinished or I’ve pulled them apart.
I LOVE IT!

Now, I only need to finish my scarf I started nearly 12 months ago, and I’ll be ready for winter!
Feels like ages since I last posted, but it’s only been 5 days. I guess my days have been dragging or something.
I did stocktake on Saturday. It was okay, but I don’t think I’d do it again. It was pretty simple work, very monotonous (just scanning items on racks). The worst thing is that my body was absolutely buggered by the end of it – standing up and walking around for 6 hours without a break to sit down took its toll. Yesterday (Sunday) I could barely walk, and couldn’t even get up out of my seat without assistance – thank god it was a Sunday and Michael was home to help me out. I’ve tried to keep moving but it is very painful. I’m still sore today, and had to get my dad to take me around to the post office to post my bestie’s birthday present. The post office is less than a 10 minute walk from our house, so that’s saying something about the pain I’m in. This is just showing me that I need to get moving more often.
I did go for three 30+ minute walks last week – on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, with my mum and our family friend. We’re trying to make it a habit, although it’s difficult for my mum, with shift work, but I at least go with our friend and the dog, and get a half hour in.
As for weight loss, nothing’s happening yet. I hit a low when I put on weight over the last few days, but I haven’t been eating well (despite exercising quite a bit). It’s slowly coming back off, but yeah it was kind of disappointing. Just have to regain my enthusiasm that I had in January.
I put in an expression of interest for school last Wednesday, but am still awaiting someone to contact me to confirm. I hate waiting for people, especially since I’m doing or have done everything I can and then it’s just up to someone else. Freakin’ hell it’s frustrating.
Anyway, totally babbling now. I shall post again in a day or two.
Whilst I have done paid blogging in the past, I find it’s not productive enough to make any amount of money unless you’re constantly doing it, which can in turn piss off your readers. So I’ve made the decision to go ad-free. If I mention products or services at all, they’ll be my genuine opinions on things I actually utilise, and I will not be paid for them.
