    Glad to hear from you, Pearla, and so pleased all is ok in pearlaworld. Thought you might have gone under from work, poorliness, other projects...

    All sounds extremely positive, so am looking forward to - possibly? - slightly more frequent updates...!! xx
    I hope so! I shall try my darnedest. Two days in a row now...! :D

    :wave: P*M

    I am!

    Last week (22-28 February) - 91,228 steps
    This week so far (1-5 March) - 86,276 steps

    You?!
    Yay! I think you've already won, that's some serious steppage! Well done :T

    I literally just started yesterday but managed to get over 10,600 steps so onwards and upwards! Good to know I get that on a normal day, so if I manage to add in an extra half hour walk or something that'll surely do the trick. I'm already obsessing over every extra step I can take... it does completely alter how you go about your day, doesn't it(!)

    So, in an effort to get back into the swing of things here we go!

    A very random store cupboard tea, plenty more of those to come as I'm desperate to get the cupboards cleared out and I to some sort of order!

    9000 steps today, argh I'm just off my target but felt so tired today... will try again tomorrow! Big house tidy planned tomorrow so that should keep me tottering about ;)

    :www: MFW Wonderment: worked extra hours, resisted lure of pretty things in the shops, did lots of work on self employment plans (exciting! almost ready to blast on with a new phase of it, here's hoping for many pennies to rain down on me soon!)

    :coffee: Simple Pleasures: warm spring days... can't wait to get the chance to lounge outside all afternoon reading a book!

    :heartsmil Burrow Building: house looking more shipshape and soon to be even more so; fun evening just chilling out :)

    How do I get friends on my fitbit then girlies? I've never had one despite having a fitbit for several years. Don't think I have a photo of me on there. Not promising I'll be much competition, but thought I might mention that I did an unusual 17700 exactly yesterday :D.

    Good news on the self-employment stuff pearla. :T
