Day 245 – Sunday 1st September
A quiet day. Eldest went horse riding and Bee and myself went shopping. Treated myself to a Fitbit Charge to help in my quest of getting fit! Picked up the eldest and as usual said hello to the horses and gave them their polos.
Day 246 – Monday 2nd September
Only 2 more days until back to school so made the most of it. Went to a local country park for the first time. It is only about 24 minutes away but just never got round to going. Went for a few hours and the girls practiced riding their bikes. They didn’t end up in a bush this time! Then treated them to lunch and late afternoon met up with a friend for dessert…had been promising Bee I would take her before the holidays ended so had to fulfil my promise! Used my Fitbit for the first time today properly and not entirely impressed. It counts steps while driving and even when just sitting and moving my hand around. Tempted to return it.
Day 247 – Tuesday 3rd September
Hubby had been talking about getting Hijama done which is otherwise known as cupping. Where cups are placed on the skin creating suction and then with small cuts small amounts of blood is drained. Someone had recommended a practitioner in London so we decided to go. While he was getting his treatment, myself and the girls did a spot of shopping. Then we all had lunch and came home. I remembered I hadn’t labelled the girls school uniform so quickly did them with some Stamptastic Stamps I had been previously gifted. Did think about returning the Fitbit but quite like the sleep and calorie tracker so may keep it just for that.
Day 248 – Wednesday 4th September
Back to school for both girls. I forgot to take a picture of them in the morning so took one of Bee on the way home from school! The house felt strange without them there…but think the cat was happy with the peace and quiet! Bee was a bit nervous but she came out of school happy.
Day 249 – Thursday 5th September
Tried to get back into working on the blog and ended up doing an IGTV video on some books I had been gifted back at the end of July. The back to karate in the evening and Bee got Star of the Class for her sparring. She also collected her Bo Staff that we had ordered after her workshop at the weekend.
Day 250 – Friday 6th September
Bee’s karate school had a fight night organised. Bee initially had said she hadn’t wanted to go but after Sensei reassured her that she will be placed in a suitable category she went. She ended up coming 1st in her category which boosted her confidence.
Day 251 – Saturday 7th September
A relatively quiet Saturday. Went to karate in the morning until 1pm. Then popped to Sainbury’s to get a few bits and pieces…and then a quiet rest of the day just relaxing and watching a bit of TV. Oh and doing the laundry!
Well done Bee on her Karate. Is your fitbit a HR charge? Mine is on my non-dominant hand, but I set it to say it’s on my dominant one, then it doesn’t pick up arm movements that others do. Mine’s just died – doesn’t turn on again so need to try 1 possible solution then it needs to go back to get looked at.
Yes it is a charge. I did what you have done after googling it all and it seems to have made a slight difference and now not picking up as many fake steps. But seems to be a common complaint.
I love reading about Bee’s karate. Well done to her for coming first in the category! My kids have a different Fitbit watch and my daughter has been known to deliberately stamp her feet up and down or wave her hand round to boost her steps! It does seem like cheating to me.

Yep it does seem like cheating. It is so annoying though…these watches really aren’t fit for purpose
Annoying about the fitbit – I think I’d return it. Well done to Bee on her karate.

I am still thinking to get return/sell it
The horses must love it when they see you coming with the Polos. hehehe
The cupping sounds interesting.
I’m glad the return to school went well.
Well done to Bee with the karate! x

Yep I think they look out for us for the polos!
Well done on the trophy, bet she was thrilled with that. The country park shot is beautiful #365
Yes she was really pleased she got first
Sounds like a lovely last few days of the school holiday, love the photo of Bee skipping home
Yes was sad the holidays ended to be honest
Horse is looking beautiful as always. The park looks amazing. OoOoOOo cupping! I’ve recently heard about it that it’s a sunnah and very helpful. I may try it or try to get someone’e feedback who had it done. The Stamptastic Stamp sounds interesting. Here’s we have to have an embroidered stamp of school/college sewn on our uniform. WHY DO YOU TEMPT ME WITH THE KEBABS? THEY LOOK SUCCULENT!
Congrats to Bee for coming first!!

My husband has said that the cupping did help with his shoulder pain and he is sleeping better..so may be worth trying.
Well done Bee on coming first. Thats great hope it restores her confidence. Glad the return to school went well. The fitbit sounds good, I find mine use to add steps too.
