We now have smart meters!  I'm going to be a data nerd for the next few days.  I've also downloaded the app and signed up for the loyalty scheme so we can take advantage of the free energy and other discounts.

Whilst they were here I did a bit of sorting.

Little jwil has some antibiotics for his feet and can be referred to hospital if he needs to be after the infection has been cleared up.  I don't think he'll be too keen on that given the amount of time we've spent there recently, but we'll see how it goes.

I'm not looking forward to tomorrow's weigh in as I've still been out of sorts this week.  I'm still chesty and coughing which is annoying, and I've realised if I try to be frugal with the heating when it's cold, then I just eat and eat and eat!  I definitely eat less when it's warmer.  Unfortunately there's still been some Christmas stuff around which means I have been decluttering that.  It's due to be milder next week thankfully, and the christmas food is pretty much gone now!

I hope everyone got through the storm relatively pain free.  It was just wet and windy here, there are some trees down locally but nothing major.  Our loft hatch blew/fell open in the middle of the night, making me jump out of my skin.  No one else in the house heard it, despite it banging onto little miss's bedroom door!  I had to use a long handled paint roller to shut it again as I can't reach

You've done brilliantly at weight loss overall so if you have a gain occasionally no big harm done.
Anyway you're meant to starve a fever, feed a cold. Better a few pounds on than feeling horribly ill for ages
