I’ve just jumped out of the shower and am sat naked on my bed answering a quick email.
Miss M is lying beside me, and as I concentrate on the screen she prods me with her little pointy toe.
Then she prods again, harder.
Then harder.
And she’s laughing her head off.
Me: ”Ow. What are you doing to your poor Mummy?”
Miss M: ”I’m making you wobble Mummy. Giggle, snort, shriek.”
Kick.
Kick.
Kick.
Thank Bob myself and my friend Nic have signed up for lovely Dan’s next adventure ‘Hadrian’s Walk’.
Apart from the fact it’s for an amazing charity, The Joseph Salmon Trust, I also think it will be very good for me as I will be walking 84 miles over a period of 6 days along with other bloggers and ‘normal’ people from across the globe, about 37 of us in total.
Why is this good?
Well it means I will have to get fit beforehand, otherwise it is quite possible I will walk myself all the way to the little green field in the sky, which I don’t intend to do.
So my mate Nic and I are making a plan. It will be a plan involving fitball, hopefully boxercise and lots and lots of walking.
In a year from now we will be a couple of racing snakes.
Honest…
And nothing will wobble.
Well ok, I doubt I’ll be completely wobble free, but ladies are meant to have wobbly bits right?
Good.
P.s. I just heard Miss M ask her sister if we were all born in Jesus’s tummy. E didn’t answer. And now she’s coming this way. Help me.

I walk three times a week with my mother in law (the things you do to get rid of those wobbly bits eh?).
Tonight I have returned from an hour walk in the pouring rain.
Like I said, the things you do to get rid of those wobbly bits!

That’s a genius question there. You never told me you spawned a geniusette

Wobbling may be no good for walking, but as I discovered on my Dales Walk last year, there may well be some millage in bouncing.
And while we’re on the subject, this boxercise thing has me a little worried. You’re not planning on intimidating everyone else to carry tou are you?
July 13th, 2009 at 2:32 pm
Hehe, yup, Will does the same thing. He finds he gets a better purchase by actually grabbing a few handfuls of tummy though. Frankly, it’s a shame that just buying “Pilates for Dummies” wasn’t enough, I may have to actually put in on and do it more than, er, twice. S’not fair
July 13th, 2009 at 2:34 pm
I am nothing BUT wobbly bits. I’m more entertaining than a circus, that way. I’ll join you on the get fit thing…in about four and a half months, anyway…
July 13th, 2009 at 2:46 pm
That walk sounds like quite the feat. Anyone who can attempt this can answer a question regarding Jesus’ belly. I promise.
July 13th, 2009 at 3:16 pm
Oh lordy that is funny. Yes we are meant to have wobbly bits. That’s why I have a perfect body. Plenty of wobble. And sag. And soft. Sexy, right?
July 13th, 2009 at 4:33 pm
LOL, don’t you just hate those wobbly bits, they always seem to find them even if they are practically non existent! As for the Jesus question, clearly he was a boy, so that one should be easy!
July 13th, 2009 at 11:03 pm
Sounds a great goal to work towards, Jo. xxx
July 13th, 2009 at 11:44 pm
We wobble too! Cute.
July 14th, 2009 at 2:30 am
I wobble. A lot. My body isn’t a temple, it’s a bouncy castle!
Good luck

Well, that’s what you get for sitting naked in front of your offspring. I learned my lesson a long time ago. You’ll enjoy the walk, it’s beautiful countryside. I was born in Wallsend, – the end of the wall, no less!

You need to sit down with Miss M and talk about women’s wobbly bits and where babies come from, because she is hopelessly confused. The child obviously needs some education on the more female parts and bits and what they are for. Don’t wait too long. Set her straight as soon as possible, the poor mite.
July 14th, 2009 at 10:59 am
That made me wobble – I mean giggle!
July 14th, 2009 at 1:36 pm
Maternal Tales you know, I have never ever worn a bikini. Ever. One day maybe I will…
Tara I am in awe. 3 times a week?? And in the rain?? You are mad. And you’re right. The things we do. Sighhhh.
Sandy I have two. ;D
Dan, I wasn’t, but now you mention it…mwah ha ha haaaaa.
Catherine it’s crappy value for money isn’t it. Tsk. You buy the book you want results right. I mean, I did my Davina work out once and I still have wobbly bits. Rubbish.
Kim you are growing a baby you mad woman. Revel in that wobble. I bet you look beautiful. x
Susan you are right. And I did. We had a little chat.
Hilary, you are gorgeous. And soft bits are definitely better than ribs I reckon. I mean ribs are useful and everything, but soft bits are cushiony and less likely to have somebody’s eye out.
Karisma, you’re right. They find everything don’t they? Sighhhh. And Jesus was probably a boy wasn’t he. I put her right. Though to be honest if you go with all the pics they tend to use then he had long haor so Miss M would disagree with the boy thing.
Rosie, I may have to wup your butt for being all sensible. Snort. It’s nice to have a goal isn’t it dear. Shall we have a cup of tea. ;D (No spitting in mine tomorrow ok?)
A Modern Mother (Susanna), it is cute, but I wouldn’t want to flash it at the world. ;D
Sandy, I think I love you. I am also on the bouncy castle side. I’m thinking I’ll aim for a couple of stone off in a year, then I’ll be more like, erm, a very slim and much firmer non bouncy castle. I hope.
Expat Mum, your poor Mum, having to give birth at the end of a wall. I bet it was a bit chilly. (Bad Jo.) I wish you still lived there. Then we could pop in for a warm bath, a cuppa and a foot rub. Or maybe a vodka and lemonade??
Green Stone Woman we had a little chat, but she’s only 4, it tends to go in one ear and out the other. Hee hee.
July 14th, 2009 at 3:14 pm
I’m giggling…as sugar likes to make me wiggle as well.
good for you and your plan. I hope it works for you. I need to make a fitness plan as well….I am by far to jiggly these days.
ummm yeah….I do think a four year old is likely to think jesus could birth us. I hope Green Stone Woman was joking. LOL

I walked some of that nearly 20 years ago. Wasn’t wobbly then.
Great post, visiting from POTD at David’s.
July 15th, 2009 at 7:06 am
gotta love kids and their complete and innocent honesty. my boys do the same all the time. enjoy the walk, and being fit as a snake. ha. congrats on the POTD mention.
July 15th, 2009 at 11:43 am
Found you through Post of the Day. Good luck with the walk, and be sure to look into the right sock and shoes. I walked a marathon last years and the blisters nearly killed me during the last leg. You’ll be fine. Walking the marathon didn’t stop me from being wobbly. I will always be wobbly. It is the way of things.
July 16th, 2009 at 1:44 pm
84 miles?! I admire you for that! x
July 19th, 2009 at 11:12 pm
Good for you. I honestly don’t think I could do the walk, much as I’d like to. Maybe in a couple of years!
