    Thanks everyone for the new year wishes.  I’m currently determined to make improvements.  Today I am properly restarting work although I have dipped in and out over the break.  Yesterday I logged on and issued two invoices plus a statement for one that’s outstanding.  I also engaged with mr wii yesterday to find myself back to 12st 1lb.  Up 2 but still within the plus or minus 2 lb range.  A real effort is needed to get below that.

    we are currently experiencing snow though a thaw is expected today.  If that doesn’t happen, I may ask to have an in person dublin meeting scheduled for tomorrow morning, changed to teams based.  I picked a friend up from the airport yesterday as her original lift would have made a much snowier and longer journey.  This meant I was able to scoot to the sparks store when it opened.  £22 spent with only 2 non reduced items. One reduced find is bbe July 26 at less than 25% of original price.  Last night’s dinner came from freezer and stores.  Today I really need to make soup as it’s possibly one of the healthiest foods that I really enjoy.  

    I need to get dressed warmly and get stuck into some work.  Today I am grateful for
    £275 from Ernie, £100 for me and £175 from dh
    reliable heating with money set aside for the January bill 
    finding a charity in need of clean takeaway plastic boxes
    a friend’s safe travels given the weather and current world events.
