    I don't mind a Sunday, it is normally the only day I get to myself in a week. I am shattered today though. I will be happy to see my bed later (but not before I work out whether I have ANY clean clothes that make up an outfit for work tomorrow)

    I REALLY want some chocolate but under the 100 day challenge I can't go and buy some (and I would have to get dressed to do that anyway)

    lol - it is a tale of mini-woes isn't it.
