    Just popping in prior to bedtime.

    Hope things improve soon, Happy. Awesome targets! (And c**p definitely doesn't count! :D) But during No Swear February it did and was highly lucrative.

    Like the idea of draft targets! Think mine may need a bit of tweaking as the month goes by, but we'll see. Mine definitely will because for some reason I just can't get my head around where I should be aiming my gimlet-eyed precision at the moment.

    Anyway, these are mine, starting today:
    • Update Quicken (Done)
    • Work on the Week's FLYzone. (Done)
    • Eat a minimum of 3 F&V per day. (Done)
    • Floss my teeth daily. (Done)
    • Bed by 2230h Sunday to Thursday (Done if I'm really quick posting this! :rotfl:)
    • [FONT=&quot]15 NSDs. [/FONT](1/15)
    Night all!!

    Another volunteer! Excellent, and in the absence of our Glorious Leadereen, Welcome to daily(ish) posting of your victories! And a full house to begin with, so you're getting off to a flying start. Hurrah!
    Better is good enough.

    Hi Happy! :wave:
    • Stop eating cr*p and start losing some of those ounces that have been piling back on since [STRIKE]Good Friday[/STRIKE] Maundy Thursday. Interesting. Now that I know I can scoff the bar of chocolate lurking in a hideyhole, I'm not getting cravings for it, as such. Progress would be forgetting it's there completely, but at least I didn't help myself yesterday at teatime. Having a big enough lunch seems to be key, so my weekly weigh-in will be revealing.
    • Tighten up the language a bit. It was not okay to tell the new neighbours our joint chimney is f*****. Nothing further.
    • Groom Kelpie for at least 10 minutes daily because his winter coat is definitely starting to shed and the house will be knee deep in black fluff within days otherwise. Er, 'forgot.'
    • Teach him that having his teeth cleaned is fun fun fun! Nuffink. I've got some dog toothpaste somewhere. Must start rubbing it on his gums. Gotta find it first.
    • Do something significant every day to make the day of my birthday party calm. Cleaned the oven and made a listy of all the things that need doing. So I had to have a quick rub down with the Radio Times and a nap.
    • Do something constructive every week about the micro-business's future. Still nuffink. This may slip this week and next because of the party, although I need to finish the follow up calls from last month. Oops.
    Better is good enough.

    Hi Happy
    Sorry I don't post much, but I am so sorry to hear about the horses. That must be extra hard with all the other stuff that is going on in your life at the moment. Hugs from down under

    I am so, so sorry to hear this, Happy. There is absolutely nothing I can say that would make the unbearably sad even a tiny bit better, so I'm not going to try. (((Hugs)))

    I'm so terribly sorry, happy. I wish there was something I could say but there isn't, of course...

    Virtual hugs.
