    so early report today, just about to go out for pre's

    steps nearly 5000 so will be 7-8000 by the time I finished
    Veggie - depends on the menu but very very unlikely
    MSD - parking had changed so I ended up paying £10 when I thought it was free, but otherwise I think it will be cheap as I need to get back home sharpish for s family Sunday
    health - I'll let you know tomorrow but hoping to be OK

    save/make - not today
    clean/fix - dish wash and bins - even us party animals got to look after ourselves at home - plus not jobs to do when in a delicate condition
    I think I saw you in an ice cream parlour
    Drinking milk shakes, cold and long
    Smiling and waving and looking so fine

    so steps was 7200
    veggie did not happen
    alcohol was moderate (just not in the mood)
    after parking fiasco was actually NSD as no one fancied a more than a couple of drinks, which was OK if a bit surprising - must be getting old

    old friends were fabulous plus a couple of them who I wasn't expecting to see, which was nice

    veggie - Full english so no

    well it seems to be working, been a good month so far. although being very busy does seem to be very MSE - independant of any diary activities

    steps 3200
    veggie - no, hotel again
    NSD - except £1 for toothpaste as I left it at home, but not my toothbrush strangely

    save/make - DD2 has got her loan in and her paycheque so she returned ALL the rent I advanced her earlier - which was more than I expected

    clean/fix - no

    and now a new category - my to do list - I use an app called Wunderlist which is quite good. like most things I made it too complex to start with, but now I have a big list of 23 things to do. so I am going to try and get through them. Any new to do's will be dealt with separately otherwise it will all get too confusing so currently it is 23-0-0 (not started, started, finished) - my target is 0-0-23. Let the fin and games commence, .... tomorrow

    steps 2700
    NSD - yay
    veggie - no, hotel

    save/make - DS1 wouldn't let me pay for something I normally do
    clean/fix - not at home so nothing doing
    actions - 22-1-0 (DS1 has nearly sold his van, but even if this falls through he now has 12 months MoT for it which will add value)
