Yes, I could get up at 5 instead of 6 to do this............

I do agree that home made bread, whether hand made or in a breadmaker is much nicer/smells fab etc when compared to shop bought but I am not that domestic goddess......

Sometimes we have to weigh up oldstyle with simplfying and with everything else you do Hypno the rest NEEDS to be simplified. So heres to reading about your simplifying journey :beer:

Simple is definitely what I need

Right I think I've just about caught up, we didn't have internet yesterday, and I feel deprived.

• CD's (would hate to mention how "eclectic" our collection is
• Heating? surely your student is used to REALLY cold weather as she's from Scandinavia? Though I don't blame you for putting it on it really is winter now isn't it? And the long sleeves I'm wearing cover my peeling sun tan
• Glad the do was fun. Didn't you lose a bit of weight just before you started back at stockbroking so that you fitted in your smart clothes? Have you managed to keep that off? I'm impressed.
• P it's great to see you posting again I've missed you
• Walshy boy sorry about the job situation - it's getting a bit of a habit with you isn't it? I'd be afraid to offer you a job with your record :rotfl: Glad you're upbeat about it tho'
• With you 100% (as they say in Africa) on the Boot Fair stuff. I hated people picking up my stuff, saying "How much?" "20p" and them rejecting it HOW RUDE IS THAT?
• BM, I've just got into the hang of using this. Takes me only a few minutes to assemble the ingredients now, but as for other unused kitchen gadgets.........I have 2 popcorn makers, 2 sandwich toasters, and 2 food processors :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: (I have however found a way to get rid of them, I put them in a box and gave them to the kids when they went to their new homes Problem will be when term ends....

Well I must get on and catch up with all these diaries. I can't take a break from here, it moves too fast.
I'm hoping that the MS site will overlook the 36 hours from doing a shop, to lodging the report - fingers crossed.

OO lovely to have you back!

No I didn't keep the weight off - my head is not in the right place for weight loss at the mo, so have to be content with things the way they are.

Eclectic - well, the CD I am loading now is the Carpenters and the last one was the Darkness.........:o

The Norwegians are used to cold, but then you go in the house and it has lovely log fires and wood burners.........sadly we have neither so we have to put the gas on. She is ill today as well, so needs to stay warm.

Right, need to be off to this workshop - I have to be there in 15 mins :eek: :rotfl:

Hypno no worries about you just skipping things. The trick is to skip tidily, then you will find that alot of it 'wonders off' during the day anyway! There comes a point when you have to say (I didn't get to this point that is why I am still wading through carp that we transported half way round the world so you are better than me!!!), my environment is stopping me achieving my goals, and it HAS to change.

Sorry to reduce you to a quivering wreck ref the g s phrase! I think it is pretty weird too, but there you go.

Hey Hypno,

You do make me laugh! I agree with you about the garage sale! People rummaging through stuff that at one time was precious to you. Then refusing to pay 10p for something worth 100 times that. It's just an opportunity for folk to laud it over you and make you feel like cr*p. I'd rather burn my stuff than go through that exercise in self-mutilation!

I am so glad you said you didnt have time to think about weight right now. If you were managing a diet at the same time as all the other things you are doing right now then i may as well give up any hope of sorting everything out. The only reason my house is organised right now is bacause im on mat leave. if i had to think about working at the same time there would be no chance...and as for prepariong balanced healthe meals, whats that all about?

Hope you are enjoying your second workshop day.

Afternoon - agree with you on garage sale - absolute no no. Hate Car boots but have done a couple.

Have just been signed off sick for a week and I am the worlds worst for being at home feeling ill !!!!! hoping to be able to go back on Monday as its my birthday and its a big one !!!

Hope your mystery shop goes well Hypno.

Take a week off (lots of over-time and a weekend away) and come back to new diary .....I guess as it's a stop and take breath one my idea for "Hypno's Colouring In Diary" doesn't quite fit !!!
Had a FAB weekend away-lots of me time and my dirt cheap Vegas room turned into an even bigger bargain as they upgraded me to a massive suite-as a little ridiculous really as it was only me with 2 rooms , giant dining table, two bathrooms and a balcony-there was probably room for all the regulars here too LOL Had a nice five minuites chatting with Donny after seeing his and Marie's show too.....I won't bore you with the photos
Totally understand the clear house clear head line of thought. I came back determined to do the same as things like MB just don't get done because I need to be clutter free to do so and I need to get back to MBing as the budget is pretty much settled now so MB becomes all about overpayments and treats.
