Off to the big city today for lunch and catching up with old workmates but hoping not to spend too much money, will involve underground travel and can't remember last time I did that so that'll be an experience. Looking forward to Monday when I can have a lie in and slob around:D

What was I thinking saying that cursed myself...now working on Monday:rotfl::rotfl: Extra money turned out to be holiday pay so all mine = all good.

Now yesterday...well LM said he'd come get me and drive my car to his so I thought I'd have a few drinks...oh dear, oh dear... never again! Hangover from hell and working today - not best combination:o Looking forward to an evening in on the sofa with copious amounts of tea. Still not finished xmas shopping and working tomorrow and Monday...whoops:eek::eek:

oh and underground was awful! Packed in like sardines in a can on the way there.

Feeling fabulous this morning though! Sitting in bed with laptop, radio on and mug of tea:D Need to get to shops before work at 12 and knock the xmas shopping on the head, was going to run too but still gales up here.

Boss complimented me on last week's mad sale yesterday and said he would have probably done the same but maybe not so high... however he didn't hear me tell the old lady who couldn't quite make her mind up that there was a better selection of scarves down the street - she was happy though and I think they are more likely to come back rather that way, not sure he'd agree:o

So Christmas is over for another year... had fun with family and LM and generally ate and drank too much. Yesterday we did a 10K race and I spent money!!! Decided to buy a new tv - had been considering throughout December but saw a really good deal yesterday so went for it:D


Well all the holiday stuff was fun but time to get stuck into studying now.... maybe another cuppa first:o

Right ok aims for 2013:

1. Over pay £1000 - we'll see how that goes...:p
2. Declutter! Have too many clothes and shoes that are NEVER worn, even if they go to a charity shop at least they won't be here clutter the place up.
3. Enjoy life, leave thoughts of ex in 2012 and MOVE ON!!!:o
4. Do half marathon, and find a cheapish one to enter! Looked at Edinburgh rock n roll one but really early start and entrance fee quite high...
5. Finish off decorating...this mainly means sort out kitchen really:D
6. Spend more time with friends in RL and stop being so lazy and just texting them:o
7. Pass college course.
8. Keep food budget down but still eat healthy food (most of the time:p)

I think that's plenty to be going on with, shall now return to slobbing on sofa:D

Inspired by HelenDaveandkids diary I thought I'd check back on my resolutions for the year.


So how did I do?
1. :j and then some! Over £3000 in the end:D
2. :j Yes >50kg of clothes
3. well yes to enjoying life but got back together with LM and things looking good.
4. FAIL!!! Only 10Ks done so this one shall carry over to 2014
5. FAIL!!! Kitchen still awful but bedroom gorgeous:D
6. Some success but could still do better.
7. :j and with A in graded unit:D
8. Again - could do better! Concentrating on the healthy aspect in 2014 I think.


On the whole not too bad but room for improvement...

No it's not!

Christmas isn't over until the chocolates run out. About 2193 at current rate.

That's all you want - life being good. Stuff the details.

Yes, plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables and other stuff which keeps you regular.

Like prunes.

As indeed there should always be.

I thought there wasn't such a word as fail...just 'HAS NOT SUCCEEDED just yet'
