Chilli jam made 5 jars
Boots cleaned and reproofed
Garden leaves swept up
Veggie casserole made and scoffed - v.nice
Food shopping done and stuck to the list

Time to wash up and start some reading - hmm!

Went out for a head clearing 4 mile run tonight after work which went pretty well in 37mins. Hoping to get out again tomorrow too for the same one. Head needed clearing out after it looks like I might have failed my 2nd assignment. If I have its not by much and I'm going to ask for a remark because I really don't think it was below a pass mark. It's worth doing as this tutor marked me very low last time she marked an assignment and the other results I've had have been fair overall. Anyway let's see how it goes

Todays report - did drag myself out for a run tonight after work at the usual 4 miles in 37 mins there and back. Almost talked myself out of it at work with an overwhelming feeling of not being bothered at all about exercising, almost the feeling of never exercising at all. Was a very strange feeling to have. Anyway, after a nice chat with some collegues I regained my wish to go and I went out for the run after work as planned and as usual.

Next 3 days at uni are long long days indeed and have just made an energy boosting lunch to take to make a change from the usual sandwiches. Hope it tastes nice when its cold.

Swapped a jumper bought in the sale for a smaller size which was nice today. I tried it on this morning and decided it was way too big and baggy so back it went for a swap for the size 10 which I tried on again and today it looked better than yesterday. 2 colour blocking jumpers for £5 each instead of £12 each and a t-shirt for £4 instead of £10. Spent £14 instead of £34. Can justify the £14 but not the original £34 price. Nice for the day and nice for the holiday too to brighten me up in a lovely bright way

What an incredibly dull day at uni. Nice to meet up with my friend though and catch up on life. Back again tomorrow and Fri too so 2 more long days to go along with a haircut and a goodbye couple of drinks as one friend finishes on that day. Once this module is done only one more to go and trudge through then a mad dash through the dissertation (as if!)

Nice hair cut and student discount used to get £21 off the price from my lovely hairdresser today after uni.

One more day to go and this module is over and done with. Better day today, not quite so dull and useful exercises.

Plenty of walking has kept me under the kcal allowance all week despite going over in reality so that cheered me up and has just motivated me to stick a veg curry on to cook now and reheat tomorrow with some rice instead of day dreaming about getting a no doubt disappointing ready meal deal tomorrow on the way home. Glad I checked the weekly report as it records my fruit and veg intake in relation to 5-a-day and that's what gave me a kick in the right direction instead of being tempted by ready meal convienience on the way home tomorrow.

Well done on getting your head round the exercise block, and the food sounds delicious as ever.
Good idea to start the month off with a treat haircut too

Well diet went wrong yesterday as I went out with a friend after uni for a very enjoyable fun early evening out as she had finished for the year and I have one more to go until I finish my taught sessions. Anyway had one too many drinks and feel a little rough today as a result. 4 drinks in one evening is too much for me. Should stick to 2 or 3. Anyway a bad nights sleep last night waking up lots and often. It made me think again about stopping drinking completely which I don't think I'm too bothered about really as I can easily go a month without drinking alcohol at all and could go longer than that. So in reality 2 is more than enough and none at all is also enough!

So picked up a ready meal from the station to have for a very late tea to make sure I had something to eat. The curry took me way over but I think it was better to eat something rather than nothing even though I should have eaten the curry I made the evening before. At least that's freezable and its some easy meals in the freezer too, if there's any space left in there!

So far today, have eaten a lot to try and feel better - hmm jury out on whether that's worked! Been shopping and filled up with liquid gold. Scoffed a bacon sandwich and just watching a film on TV I haven't seen for years and years 'Dead men don't wear plaid'. A enjoyable watch and a nice reminder of a time when I loved this film. Still a place in my heart for it though.

So what's left to do today -
Cleaning - LR, BR, bathroom, hoover
Change bedding and wash
Ironing
Take jacket back for refund
Make casserole for tea
Portion up curry to freeze
Check weather forecast for tomorrow

Thats quite enough for one day!

Ok, did more than I thought plus a lot of walking today and took Mr Dog on a nice spring like walk this afternoon. Walking stuff is ready to go for tomorrow leaving me an hour so zoom around with the hoover and a quick clean and tidy up. Delaying bathroom cleaning for another day now!

Off out for a long walk tomorrow in what looks like dreadful weather conditions so better make sure I am well prepared to go :rotfl:

Walks off for tomorrow after checking out the weather forecast which is dreadful. If it clears up in the afternoon I'll try and get out for either a run or a long dog walk to compensate for the lack of hours walking. Oh well looks like tomorrow is cleaning day now and soup making, how exciting. Well at least it will be a NSD now which is much needed

fedupandskint

Well a nice relaxing day today involving the following

Soup making time this morning
Hair dyed - yeah!
Walk to town to meet a friend for a nice mooch and a coffee
Washing done to go out in the morning to dry on the line
What else? Meal planned for the week ahead and if I stick to it I stay on track all week and do the exercise I've planned for the week - hope so!
Cleaning done
Rugby half watched at the same time
Clothes sorted out for upcycling day at work, swap with mum and CS and some regained for me as they fit again - summer dresses into the drawer ready to wear.

Now its time to go an hour's study with a hot choccy for company

Quite nice and slightly unusual to have such a chilled out weekend. Must have needed to it to recover from 4 drinks! Anyway the frantic nature of the week continues next week to juggle uni, study, work and running so have meal planned and prepared food for the week ahead to try and keep to the plans!
