Thanks guys, its certainly not super svelte but it is heading in the right direction

So, one more day to go, I'm sooo ready for a break, its been another really long term.

Its a beautiful day here today but I just want to sleep, I'm shattered. Tomorrow is a mufti day so will be a wind-down kinda day anyway

So, the flat is moderately tidy, time to start compiling that holiday list I will no doubt add to it as I go along, but so far here it is ....

• at least 3 days out to theme parks
• dentist
• gut the garage
• buy furniture for ds bedroom
• assemble and fill aforementioned furniture
• get bikes fixed (punctures)
• send off mobile phone cashback claim
• gut all my drawers / wardrobe
• sort out bath pillow sucker thing
• sort out herb pot
• move rock salt bag back to the garage
• post brothers birthday stuff
• gut ds wardrobe / drawers
• gut all paperwork
• reorganise under my bed
• sort airing cupboard
• deep-clean all kitchen cupboards
• gut hall cupboard
• clean windows
• clean car inside and out
• deep-clean bathroom
• clean washing machine / fridge / dishwasher / oven

On top of this I am going to have a blitz on the diet, I've got very complacent recently with it and have only lost a pound or two over the last month. This will be until after the royal wedding, so 3.5 weeks. This will involve;

• shredding every day :eek:
• counting points religiously
• upping the exercise (walking / cycling)

Hopefully if I focus properly again on this then I can try and get under 11 stone by then (currently 11st 2.5lbs)

Oh and somewhere in amongst all that I need to make some more money too :rotfl:

Well done BB that looks like an impressive list for the holidays
If I got half of that done I'd be well chuffed, you have inspired me to have a go at the garage on Sunday (oh and mow the lawn now it's that time of year!)

benbenandme

So schools done for another couple of weeks :j :j The sun is shining and we're going to make a start on the garage right now

benbenandme

Garage has been blitzed :j :j Am really chuffed, its a dull job but its done We filled the car up and took a load to the tip too, the only bits that are left to go are the base of the old sofa that needs chopping up with a saw and the old tv that is too heavy for my car, need to find a friend with a van for that one. To celebrate getting it all done ds and I went to Sainsburys for tea, his new favourite place as you can see buses and trains from the cafe

One load of washing done and drying nicely, another lot in the machine, dishwasher is on, and its time to sit back and relax :T

Well he's gone to vist his g/f for the weekend, and I'm missing our xahts already, how sad is that? We are now texting each other several times a day and then chatting online in the evenings. We've arranged to meet up on tuesday for lunch and a nice walk along the beach, or a nice chilled lunch in the pub if its raining
