    Well happy sunday folks its !!!!ing it down here but on the upside my bedroom is decluttered and tidy as no where to go ,fresh bedding will be bliss tonight.
    Read my first entry on this diry only to discover most of my plans have not been realised so i am getting back in focus today .
    So going to
    update my snowball and increase all payments to cc
    Walk 3 miles or swim 30 lengths everyday of the summer .
    Increase my protein intake and ban the junk and alcohol.
    Do one day in the garden a week this summer.
    Do one family day out each week.
    Chuck,sell donate give away a bag a week
    I'm happy with my plan as even when i let things slip due to the decluttering i have already done i can have it all shiny in 30 mins its amazing the difference it has made .
    Have a good one everybody x
