    First day back wasn't too bad. I am so pleased that I did so much work over the hols. I feel better and not so worried now.

    I had to spend £1.20 on diet coke today as ran out of my own. Still I do have £10 spending money a week and it came out of that. My guest has gone and I am tidying later.

    I think I am going to have to lower my expectations. Does Daniel Craig have a brother????
    No, he has an older sister - Lea.
    Guess you'll just have to put up with Daniel ;) Or maybe we can share him? :dance:

    Mrs U she says thank you but no thank you. She is with Steve as Andy is at work. They are keeping me company. We are thinking ahead and planning a new kitchen for my house.

    I didn't realise it could be so soon. Thank you for reminding me Mrs Upsidedown Bear. This is something to really look forward to.

    Now my guest has gone I have tidied up most of the house. They have left some stuff upstairs in my spare room and I hope it will be collected v soon as it means I can't put my xmas things away. But I don't mind too much as my decorations cheer me up.

    Mum and dad have gone to supermarket. It is so nice to have them visit. I have had some lovely home cooked food.

    I am going to sort out some xmas decorations I no longer use and also some books and will eventually sell them on fleabay for money. Maybe in the holidays.

    New year's resolutions for 2016:

    1. Only spend £10 a week at work
    2. Only buy on payday week from fleabay, I only have £60 a month for fun (after I have spent work fun money)
    3. Don't buy any new clothes from shops
    4. Avoid eating out
    5. Keep eating healthy non sugary food except when hypoglycaemic
    5. Lose weight - 1 stone is fine. :D
    6. Don't buy anything for the house just focus on gardening this year.
    7. Try to go to the beach more often :)
