OUCH

On Tuesday night, it was Very Icy, and while at the stable I slipped and fell and lost most of the skin on one knee, which was STINGY and OUCHY. Not the worst injury ever, so I have soldiered on bravely and have been admiring the lovely shades of blue developing and the regrowth of skin.

Until this morning, when I tripped over the kerb getting off the bus (having slept in and missed the train :/) and landed on BOTH knees, so one has lovely fresh bruises developing and the other is minus even more skin and is STINGY and OUCHY all over again. This could make for a FUN pilates class tonight.

In better news, Bravissimo have excelled themselves in the delivery dept. - put in an order around midnight Monday night and got home yesterday evening to find box o' NEW BRAS at the back door! Hurrah!
Cue much trying on, running around upstairs, jumping up and down (you're supposed to do this) and admiring self in mirrors. I LOVE Bravissimo. So much

Can you lend a hand with the latter at febmeet?

I guess if you end up with two black eyes, you picked the wrong size? ;)

This continued falling, and wearing out of bras... are you wearing them round your knees?

[identity profile] hellison.livejournal.com 2007-02-08 11:18 am (UTC)(link)
Hehe with the bra admiring or the flobbling?

Stupid knees. May skip pilates and go riding instead ;p

[identity profile] hellison.livejournal.com 2007-02-08 11:19 am (UTC)(link)
Something like that ;p it's to check they fit right while moving and that nothing... falls out or ends up looking wrong.

And it's fun :p

[identity profile] hellison.livejournal.com 2007-02-08 11:20 am (UTC)(link)
HAH. No ;p Tho I could make handy knee pads from the old ones maybe, to wear around town...

[identity profile] tardington.livejournal.com 2007-02-08 11:22 am (UTC)(link)
Stuff them with cat hair = ear muffs

[identity profile] adelpha.livejournal.com 2007-02-08 11:22 am (UTC)(link)
Looking wrong? Like both, er, flobs(?) ending up round the back? :P

With the new flobble icon. I have a better bra for it now ;p

Sounds like a plan to me.

[identity profile] hellison.livejournal.com 2007-02-08 11:32 am (UTC)(link)
Ooh yes. One with the new purple bra could be nice... That is indeed a Plan I think ;)

[identity profile] being-here.livejournal.com 2007-02-08 11:39 am (UTC)(link)
Ok. Will bring my camera and we'll sort them out.

Not sure how we'll explain where we've gone to the others!

rofl no, like... if the cup bits aren't right, you can ended up with the dreaded FOUR-BOOB effect, or... similar ;p So jumping around establishes if things will stay where they're put. As it were ;p

I think I am going to skip pilates, it isn't all kneeling but there is some and both are starting to stiffen up now too! (waily!) i might go riding instead ;)

The bras are lovely - its SO good to finally be able to by pretty bras after years of being relegated to really boring ones that looked more like scaffolding your granny would wear. They have COLOURS and LACE and BOW and everything! the purple one is particularly fab ;)

Do they get you to do all this stuff when you go bra shopping in M&S? :)

[identity profile] hellison.livejournal.com 2007-02-08 12:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Heh, not sure, it's been many many years since I went bra shopping in M&S, but they do in teh bravissimo shops. They encourage all sorts of Jiggling and Shimmying to ensure the fit is correct. Bra shopping there is much fun ;p

Tho I have never *flobbled* at a bra shop lady. That might be going a bit too far ;p

Tell 'em we have gone to photograph each other's cleavages. Just to see the faces ;p

[identity profile] being-here.livejournal.com 2007-02-08 12:09 pm (UTC)(link)
We could ask for help with lighting...

*is hopeful*

Ooh, pilates, I'm going tonight too, for the first time. Do We Like It?

[identity profile] adelpha.livejournal.com 2007-02-08 12:51 pm (UTC)(link)
So what is flobbling? I thought it was the same as jiggling?

[identity profile] hellison.livejournal.com 2007-02-08 01:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, we like it very much! I've been going for over an year now and I really enjoy it.
I've found it's done wonders for my back (always had problems with lower back but very rarely now) and general flexibility and stuff. It's not too intensive but gives you that nice stretched and relaxed feeling, similar to yoga, if you've ever done that!

It can be quite hard work at times too, more than you'd think!

[identity profile] hellison.livejournal.com 2007-02-08 01:53 pm (UTC)(link)
It's similar but there are, um, added noises. Like bill and ben (hence the name). It's a long story and all goes back to [livejournal.com profile] thesme_01. Naturally.

You do surprise me!

[identity profile] kanaalzahir.livejournal.com 2007-02-08 08:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmm, I think it might be good for my back, but God was it boring! Also, I found Prepare Powerhouse extremely amusing. I might start going on Wednesday mornings... Body Jam is so much more fun!

Pilates came back from yesterday to punish me for being rude. I tack back everything. Ow.

And today is running day too. Owowow.

[identity profile] hellison.livejournal.com 2007-02-09 03:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Hehe Pilates is very sneaky - it is a bit dull if you're looking for a more active jumpy around work out, but it certainly catches up with you the day after!
