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.

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.

7.55 am -
Well, I got out of bed at about 7 which is great in a way because I have a stonking headache (OK, hangover). But because of the hangover I've done nothing but sit around on the computer for nearly an hour. Well, it's a step in the right direction.

2.05pm -
Well, not done much today, I feel a bit stressed by this list. I must remember that I have nearly 3 years to complete it! I had to snooze earlier but now I feel really good! I am waiting for the water to heat up so I can have a decent bath and wash my hair. I already moisturised my face this morning so that's one off my list! I am picking up my new car later (woohoo!) - hope I can still drive....
Finn's going to his dad's tonight and I'm out with Glenn. I hope it's ok, it's his local which will be a bit stressful. I need to make myself shiny and pretty.
Other than that, not much to report on my 1001 things. I need to pull my finger out. Ahem.

5pm -
I am really hoping that this blog will keep me on track with my list. And that I don't turn it into something to rebel against! Something about me makes me scupper all my best efforts. Hopefully a step by step approach will give me confidence to carry on, and the ability to look back and see how far I've come.
Off to wash up now - joy of joys!

5.20pm -
Just done the washing up. Hurrah. I hate it but feel better now I've done it. Note to self - I feel better when I've done it! I also climbed mount washmore earlier. Bfore I know it, it will be a habit.

5.40pm -
I just put all my eaarings in one drawer and put the sign "Earrings" on to remind/prompt me both as to where they are (!) and to put them back in the right place. Here's to wearing earrings more than once before losing one of them!

Every journey starts with the first step.

Well, here I am trying to get together my 101 things to do in 1001 days. I will aim to think of at least 10 a day over the next couple of weeks and then with a bit of editing I should be ready to tackle them. Ooh, it is rather exciting. I hope to be the new and improved version of myself in no time. Well, at least a bit more productive.
