    Well the bread diet could be stepping up a gear in the coming months as we lose the more interesting items...or we could go for the IF diet. That sounds really cheap. Intermittant fasting as you ask. 2 days in the week on about 600 cals a day, the rest normal.

    So like a student diet, but without the drinking and the Pot Noodles?

    You lose a bit of weight but it mainly seems to reduce all heart disease issues and remove the risk of cancer (that is the one I am really concerned about). Need to do some more reading on it really and work out how it would work out without me eating one of my fellow workers in a moment of weakness!

    Only if you have chocolate smothered co-workers.

    Budget to look at for the next month. Rent has gone down but wheel bearings will need replacing. It never stops does it:)

    It *will* stop - quite abruptly - if that bearing goes.

    Otherwise life is not bad.
    Bedroom nearly entirely white now rather than crappy brown cow pat.

    Is there a non-crappy brown cow pat?

    Bit disorientated by having the bed in the middle of the room while I paint walls. Last night I was feeling all the way round the room trying to find the light switch so I could go to the loo and trying to ignore the comedy value of the situation so I didn't p**s myself. I went up and down the same bit of wall three times trying to find the door!

    Take a torch to bed if you can't see in the dark, and you have no sense of direction or spatial awareness. This saves stepping on the household pixies whilst stumbling around...

    It had been a bit of a comedy evening tbh. The quizmaster at the pub quiz asking on the James Bond section 'What year did they make the film Doctor Number?' :rotfl:

    I saw the crap sequel to that. Dr No 2...

    Starting to look (touch wood) that we will hit the targets for the first year and I am going on my first site visit later this month to start and prepare me for some project development. Really looking forward to this.

    Right better print off my budget and then have a look at my Experion report and this strange alias I have on it!

    Not something like Buttee? ;)

    Not liking the sound of this diet, I'm always hungry! Can you not just have a raw food day or two instead?

    Isn't a raw food day when you just can't be bothered to cook? ;)
