Personal Ramblings 28/10/2007

Been a bit of a boring week this week to be honest. Mainly work and nothing much else! Last monday I went to kick boxing for the second time, and survived the whole hour again! This time I didn't ache as such for the next day or two, but because we'd been practising a lot of kicks, my lower legs were very sore. During the hour the lactic acid hit tenfold in my calves and it took a few days before they finally stopped hurting. I even walked to the post office on Wednesday and they got sore very quickly. However I'm hoping that the after pain will ease off more and more as time goes on and I get used to doing actual exercise! I just need to start doing something extra at home as 1 hour a week is an improvement but not much. The only other sessions to go to would involve a lot more people and not just women, so I think for now I'll stick to just one session and get a bit of fitness and stamina first.

This week was good in that I got a couple of DVD boxsets sold on Amazon Marketplace. I had some duplicates after Dave bought me a full boxset of all the series of Alias, so despite meaning to get my duplicates sold for 18 months, when I packed up our other DVDs last week I decided it was time to actually get things sold! We made around £20 for the first and second series which is better than nothing. I doubt anyone would buy the video boxsets I have though, so they'll go into the car boot sale which we really need to do soon!

There's been no movement in the house hunting. The house we have our eyes set on becomes empty tomorrow and the owner has told us to call him on Wednesday to arrange a viewing. It seems to be a great house, with a garage, so despite the laid back attitude from the owner (well his manager to be more precise) we're just gritting our teeth and hoping that we can get to view it and sort out to rent it. Afterall the money is ready and waiting in the bank account so I can write a cheque there and then for him. I think once we actually get to meet then things are often different as you actually know the person you're dealing with, can put a face to the voice and all that. So keep your fingers crossed for Wednesday and hopefully we'll get something more definite sorted out.

The rest of the week was spent working, catching up on various unfinished updates for sites. I've dropped behind in my work which of course plays on my mind a lot. However I managed to get my second wordpress plugin finished, not for general release but to allow a client to update their custom database on their site. It means that they don't need a separate login which is great. I was quite chuffed with myself as it provides a page in the options section but then this offers 3 pages, add, edit and remove. The plugin file is pretty long but worth it now it's working. I also submitted my own WordPress plugin to WordPress and am waiting to hear back from them as to whether they'll accept it. I hope so as the feedback I've had so far sounds pretty good and would love for more people to be using it.

Anyway, besides wishing my brother a happy 34th birthday (old git heh), hope you have an enjoyable Sunday evening Back to the roast chicken
