Well, i have let this go by the wayside a bit. Though the house is looking tidier on the whole.
G man got all cross again last night so i really do think it's the end of the line for us this time. A leopard never changes it's spots after all.

I've done a lot of drives to the tip so there's just less carp everywhere. The living room is actually looking pretty good, apart from a few toys scattered about and the stuff down the side of the sofa. The hall is tidy. The dining table really needs an overhaul. It's yesterday's and today's task. I didn't do anything yesterday though. Maybe catch up on this later.

9.24am -

I haven't posted for a bit but I've mostly been getting things I don't want out of the house. I've finally dimantled that old desk and it's currently in the back garden. I'm hoping to go to the tip later. I've taken some stuff to the charity shop and given Colin most of his old folders from his courses to take away so slowly I'm regaining some space. I do need some storage but I need to know what I've got to know what I need.

I also learnt how to make onion soup. It took forever (!) but it was rather tasty. It felt good to make something from scratch too. I was really pleased with it. I cooked double so there's another lot in the freezer (batch cooking! - woo hoo).

9.14 am -
I did a bit of housework yesterday, even though it was Sunday and I usually have the attitude that it is "my day off" and I deserve a rest, then I have to play catch up on monday which is a bit depressing. I spent most of the day out in the pub, drinking diet cokes and reading my book, so I did get a rest. I also didn't feel guilty for resting and relaxing as I had done some jobs. A lesson to be learnt here I think.
Got up at 7.15 today after one "snooze" and we left the house in good time, all was calm. Yay.
Not done much this morning yet but have put the washing on.

8.43am -
Good morning! It is a beautiful day but I am up far too early as it is a Sunday. I actually got up before 7 as I couldn't sleep. I don't know what's wrong with me. Zipped around in the car yesterday, it's lovely being free, though it did mean I was on the diet cokes all day. I guess it saves money and calories though.
I got some housing benefit so I've put 10% into savings. It's easier when it is small amounts. Over £100 the other day nearly killed me.
Moisturised face, etc. It's second nature now. I also washed up and did some washing though I didn't hang it out as I couldn't be bothered. Did it this morning instead.
I am feeling a bit buzzy - don't know why, hope I'm not all manic. I don't understand this lack of sleep and wanting to clean everything though.
Have been taking my pills like a good girl, and also the fake Berocca so maybe that's got something to do with it.
Dunno what to do today...could go to Brighton but I bet the world and his wife will be on the roads so don't really fancy it. I just hate sitting around doing nothing when I could be out though.

8.35am -
I managed to get up at 7.30 even though I neglected to set my alarm and also I had a couple of glasses of red last night. Very nice they were too - I might go over to red as I drink a lot less of it. I watched In Bruges last night, it was great - it made me laugh and cry. Done a 27 fling boogie this morning but that's it so far. Oh, and updated my Food Focus page, not doing too well on the calories but I'm sure I'm doing a lot better than if I wasn't watching my intake at all.

8.08 am -
Ooh get me! I got up at 7, I've put the washing on, moisturised my face and logged my calories onto an excellent free website. Another website suggested my healthy weight is 9st 9lbs so quite a lot of weight to lose but if I'm focussed I reckon I can get there. Fingers crossed. I'll have to reduce the booze a bit but that fits with another of my goals so it's all good.
Bad news is that my tummy is killing me. I think the IBS has kicked in. I had pasta last night and it really isn't good for me. I need a health overhaul! Bring on the peppermint tea.

8.48pm -
I found my savings account details, hurrah, so I've put aside the money that I owe back to Mr Brown et al (£280!) to stop me spending it. I also transferred 10% of this month's incoming money (£190) as that is one of my targets and if I can see it in my current account then I will just spend it. It will probably go towards moving in with OH, I don't know how else we're going to find that deposit. The £190 hurt me a bit, till I logged into my savings account and saw a nice big balance. I will transfer 10% each time I receive a deposit from now on so it doesn't seem like such a big deal.

12.50pm -
Today I have collected the car and drove it home - woo!! I didn't crash or cause any hazards so quietly pleased with myself :)
I rang the doctor about my medication and made an appointment as well so that's in hand.
I have done some washing up as well, in preparation for the batch cooking later. I also did a 27 fling boogie so all in all not doing too badly.
I also moisturised my face after waking up at quarter past 7, so nearly on target there.
