  • Damn !! I graciously admit defeat in the no moaning, whinging department. I did have one , or maybe two teeny weeny moans about the lack of Jam Doughnuts in the Pinot household today :rotfl:, so you win !!

    ITSA, you keep your hands off of my Haribos !!:)

    Day 18


    Pinot I probably deserve disqualification because I deliberately went to bed (and then sat there eating chocolate watching rubbish tele until 11:30:D)!!

    ITSA - let's jump Pinot ... I hate fake cherry everything except the Haribo fake cherry, so I bagsy that ... or like you the jelly teddies. Mmmmm.

    HH - "Failure is not an option" is one of my ridiculous mantra's to myself - hence being at the tail end of a very trying 16 year relationship :o ... and I don't mean with the lovely cat who is a similar age :) I think I need to learn when failing something can be seen as a success. If that makes any sense at all!!!

    Today's Goals
    • Catch up with yesterdays tracking and do for today 2/7
    • Forgot ped - so walk until I've had enough (can't fail now, can I!)
    • Print out charity letters
    • Continue the not moaning / groaning theme, but perhaps reduce the maniacal smile a little - I think it's starting to scare people :o
    • Update calendar with all the 'happenings' that are now happening!
    I think that'll do for today - it's not hugely challenging but will see me taking a teensy step forwards.

    Have a happy day one and all :)

    Whoops! Oh well, managed some of the goals I guess! Just eaten yummy birthday cake - don't know how I'm supposed to point that, or will I just let my jeans do it!!! :o

    Day 19

    *** It's snowing ... yippppeeeee *** (well, sleety slush, but heading in the right direction!)

    I love snow soooo much! There only has to be the minutest of coverings before I drag everyone out to make snow angels; (very) miniature snowpeople etc. Even the cat joins in!!!

    DH Birthday project was a success!!

    I think I need to refocus on daily goals as I seem to have lapsed the past couple of days. I'm back on with the ped, but will make it an achievable target ...!

    Today's Goals
    • Walk 3 WW pedometer points
    • Track everything 3/7
    • Catch up with yesterdays printing and updating the calendar
    • Have a search on-line for some new work shoes - £20 budget - but not to be bought until next week (pay day *phew*)
    • Have a look around for a repair person for kitchen thing - but not to be organised until next week (for the same reasons as above ;-D )
    Have a productive day everyone :)
  • Enjoy the angels! Made me smile :)

    HHx
  • Snow ?? We have sunshine where I am. I want to come to your house !:rotfl::rotfl:

    Today's Goals
    • Walk 3 WW pedometer points :j:j:j Hilarious, just had to run up and down the stairs about 20 times to achieve this, now sweating profusely and need to shower :rotfl:
    • Track everything 3/7 :)Well, everything except the home made rice crispies cakes; the milky ways stars (I hate them!!) and the pasta dinner :o
    • Catch up with yesterdays printing and updating the calendar:) Tick
    • Have a search on-line for some new work shoes - £20 budget - but not to be bought until next week (pay day *phew*) well, I did have a look but the ones I liked the most were £45 from M&S :( I think I might need to go to budget shops or to the outlet stores as I haven't found anything else as yet for £20
    • Have a look around for a repair person for kitchen thing - but not to be organised until next week (for the same reasons as above ;-D ) :mad:FAILED - I think the despondency of phoning someone up and saying, do you do ... but not till next week is proably a bit nuts, so I don't mind failing at this :D

    Well, the snow continued for a bit, and it's quite chilly outside, but very warm inside now after all that running.

    Thanks for popping in everyone
