Shopaholic? Me?

I travelled recently and like thousands if not millions of people had cancelled flights – both ways. What really irked me was the fact that we thought we had protection but all we can get from our insurance is £20 for a “delay” despite the fact we had to buy new flights both ways and at an exhorbitant cost. At least term life insurance is a bit more basic and you shouldn’t be so easily screwed off. They have to pay at the end of the term or if you die! Just don’t stop paying or you lose everything cover and whatever you paid to date, but as I said better than travel insurance that you have to keep your mind at rest and then find out the worst!

I just started aqua aerobics. I must say it is great fun and a really good work out. From the little experience I have, it is going to be what gets me to my weight goal target and without the best weight loss supplements. Mind you I will be calorie counting and taking vitamin supplements (and for now breastfeeding too)!

I hope that I will also get toned out with all the exercise. The best bit of it, is that I get some precious me time. I am ever so grateful to my hubby who actually stays home to look after all 3 kids just so I can get some me time!

I was thinking about when I was told I needed laser treatment for my face, but I thought it was so expensive that I have been put off. So I was thinking about medical travel because it could work out so much cheaper. But then again, there is the other side to it… I would need to do 3 treatments, and you look horrific for a few days and last but definately not least… the pain! Argh, what am I thinking!

So my phone has been playing up and I cannot decide which phone I want. So my dearest hubby used it as an excuse to upgrade his! Like he really needs one, he only just got his for what… Christmas? The only issue is that his phones always cost loads, which I guess in return means that we are going to put our plasma mounts for our new TV to one side and wait a little longer before buying it! C’est la vie!

Hubby just said that we should back up all our computers. He thinks that at the very least we should do it on a yearly basis. I think he wants to go with an online backup because then they cannot be stolen or if lightening hits wiped out. But I like the idea of a portable hard disk or just copying to DVD but then I am not the techno geek! The only thing I do know is unlike shopaholic Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) in Sex in the City, I will er hopefully be protected!

I have found the best quick weight loss diet… yes it is breastfeeding twins! I have so far lost all my baby weight and a little more. I do know with my first kid, I put on weight when I started weaning him. As I am at the point of weaning, I want to be careful that I don’t repeat my first mistake. The problem with putting on weight is that if you increase your diet by 100 calories, you put on weight. But to lose the weight you put on, you need to double the increased calories for the same length of time to reach your previous weight. Not easy, so I really really must be careful as who likes dieting!

I was thinking if I am not going for laser treatment, then perhaps I need to find the best face cream that might make a difference to my face. I have been recommended some by Tracy Bell. However Tracy Bell is a dentist on the Isle of Man and not a beautician. But then again, I am sure she did her research before she launched her range of beauty products.

I have some nasty marks on my face from spots from er my teenage days. I would love to be able to treat them, but acne scar removal is a tad more complex. There are creams which can be used. Vitamin E is also recommended for scarring. However, I was told to go for a  peel. Apparently this is laser treatment and I would need about 3 or 4 sessions. It basically burns off a layer of flesh and you cannot go out for 3 or 4 days as you look horrific. Sounds a bit too gory for my liking, I guess I doubt I will be doing much for now!

I have been so tired recently with the twins. My sleep is currently so interupted that it is unbelievable. Who needs sleeping pills when you have babies? I could fall asleep at the drop of a pin! I am now at the point of exhaustion, to the extreme that I cannot even be bothered shopping even though I know that there at the January sales at a touch of a button! Isn’t that sad? Zzzz.

The internet has really opened up the market. I mean 10 years ago, would you have imagined shopping for HCG? Apparently you can now just buy human growth hormone supplements just like that over the internet. My experience with hormones has not been too great, so I would highly recommend having a serious conversation with your GP before considering buying any type of medication over the internet. After all you don’t want to mess with your body without having accurate information.
