Walking into another chapter ...

Last night the dog was here for a sleepover, this morning I took him home and then have been for my hair appointment. Several hours later and the colour is looking lovely and I'm very happy with it

Tonight I'm out for pizza with some friends, so may have a rest this afternoon so I'm ready for it

I went for pizza last night and it was lovely - a really chilled evening with friends, just what I needed. However I stupidly ordered an affogato for dessert (espresso poured on vanilla ice-cream) and feel like I haven't slept all night. My body was knackered but my brain was absolutely buzzing. Today will be a lazy one The weather forecast is seriously rubbish today, ds has gone to visit his Dad (first time in over a year), so I have the whole day to myself and have declared it a pj day already. I got up, had a quick shower and put some pj's on. I've pottered about doing some tidying, putting out the recycling etc, and plan to spend the rest of the day pottering, mooching, watching some footie later finally, a nap or two and generally not feeling guilty for having yet another indoor day.

Fingers crossed there might be a few matched betting bits coming up today, probably only tiny amounts but all helps.

Thought it was about time I did my first list update. It's not going to be very impressive as none of the outside jobs have been even thought about due to the weather and to be honest, not much else has been done due to feeling unwell.

Well that definitely helped - cupboard under the sink has been decluttered, found some descaling solution so that saved me having to buy some and the kettle is done too. Shower head is currently sat in a bag of white vinegar doing its thing and inventory of the freezer has been done. Feeling slightly better about the list now. While the list doesn't look great in terms of achievement, I have done various other bits and pieces that didn't even make it onto the list (paid in a cheque via my phone, completed the electoral role form, cleared a big pile of paperwork / post and actioned / recycled  as needed. Five minutes on here then on to the next job

That’s some list! I do love a good list 🙂 Mind you I don’t fancy some of the jobs on there - fence painting for one 😬 I’d be tempted to add those things you did that didn’t make the list then tick them off 😆

Morning all, well I managed two naps yesterday (1 hour and 2 hours), and had the best nights sleep I've had in ages, so feeling refreshed and awake finally today! I weighed myself and have lost around 8-9lbs over the last couple of weeks where I haven't been feeling well and haven't had an appetite. I have a chicken in the fridge that I will roast today, that will do me a few meals and up my protein levels a bit.

Yesterday I made £29 on a cheeky bet (not matched), was only a £1 bet so very happy with that. I've also sold some more Christmas stock (£26), will add that tomorrow once paid and posted though.

I've had a bath this morning and as it isn't raining I might finally start tacking the front garden a bit today. Not sure how far I will get as it will make me tired but it desperately needs doing now.
