    Great start to the day! Maybe your 'day off' worked like a spring board into all this activity? As for me, I am exhausted just reading and think I need to go back to bed :D.

    Thank you all.

    I was full of beans this morning and managed to work well. Mind you I do work better under pressure.

    DS does help but causes chaos. I have to sneak about to be honest as he won't let me do anything as they are all his jobs. I bet this will pass when he gets older :rotfl:.

    Let's hope the work continues later.

    Thanks Bob

    I have been awake for a few hours so decided to get up. I really fancied a lie in.

    I have been plodding along for the last few days and really need to get my bum into gear. Money is ok, I have more left than I usually do at this point, the house sorting has faltered. I will get back to that today. But a big worry at the moment is health. I have put back on the few pounds I lost and have really started to feel it. I HAVE to do something about this. I have let my weight and subsequent health problems affect me for too long. Need to start looking at my diet and finding something to focus me in that area. I may kick start myself with the 30 day shread and work from there.

    Today I plan to

    Clean the fridge
    Do more washing
    Tidy sewing room
    Spend 1-2 hrs sorting DS's room
    Buy some party invites and party bags
    Late spend some time sewing, perhaps pulling an all nighter as I have got a bit behind.

    Right ho, what can I do before the small person wakes up and causes chaos.;)

    But a big worry at the moment is health. I have put back on the few pounds I lost and have really started to feel it. I feel so heavy and everything I do seems to take a massive effort. I HAVE to do something about this. I have let my weight and subsequent health problems affect me for too long. Need to start looking at my diet and finding something to focus me in that area. I may kick start myself with the 30 day shread and work from there. I may get some vitamins too to boost myself a bit. Oh and more water. My water intake has dropped dramatically and I find it makes me feel better.

    Hi PH, I thought you were quiet.

    I found the Shred really hard work on my joints. Quite like the 'spark people' videos on youtube, must fit a few of those in before we go away.

    I also have let progress slip a little, so first job this morning is get the kitchen back to clean while it will only take an hour rather than leave it till it will take a day. Our broadband has been down so you'd think the house would be spotless...

    Hope you have a productive day

    I'm finding it hard to find time to post much at the moment. I should though as it keeps me motivated.

    I haven't heard of spark people, I will look it up. Shread is hard and I can't do lunges due to a previously injured knee.

    :rotfl::rotfl: I know what you mean doingitanyway. Mine is usually a day job, 1hr seems easy.

    I woke up really early again but to a lovely morning so it's nice really. I decided to get up at six as there is no point in staying in bed. DS also now up.

    First job this morning has been a load of washing. I don't know where it has come from to be honest as I have done a load a day. Never mind it will be sorted today. It's mostly towels anyway.

    I was having a little think about money last night. I get a bit frustrated as I have DD's all over the place coming out at odd dates throughout the month. It drives me mad. I have decided to cancel DD's for two of the credit cards and pay them on payday from now on. I will feel happier with a bit of control and know they are sorted rather than worry throughout the month. I did T3sco last night and will do MBN@ this morning. The capital one card comes out on the first so I'm leaving that one. I'm going to contact other DD places and see if I can move the payment to the first.

    My garden is a disaster this year. None of the veg seem to be thriving, actually most of them are almost dead. I've never had this before and don't know what's happening. Typical I needed to be successful this year particularly to help with food bills. On a positive note the weeds never seem to struggle :o.

    The bedroom is still tidy and the kitchen needs a quick spruce up. :j I do need to start making new habits elsewhere now.

    I now need to get a wriggle on as the waiting gene is kicking in again and I refuse to let it take hold. I need to do stuff to succeed.

    Oh I forgot, yesterday was a NSD :j:T:j:T. Hopefully today will be one too.
