Oh good it's wine o'clock .

love it - never heard of wine o'clock but its my favourite time of day

and Dusty -thanks for your messages earlier - funnily enough AF arrived on Friday or so, I have always been one of these miserable gits who feels like !!!!!! mood wise during it as well as the week before. LOL but yeah I forgot to make the connection between that and the eating of rubbish. Good at least I can do some shopping tomorrow and put the rubbish behind me.

I found an old WW journal from when I lost all the 3 stone with WW after my middle baby was born. It covered all the food I ate for the final 10 weeks or so as I got down to my goal weight. I also recorded moods etc and exercise. now I know why it worked - I ate extremely sensibly and NO SNACKING!! and fitted in 4 sessions of exercise a week. Must try and get back to that.

Oh and by the way I was in bed at 9.30 albeit with laptop. Catching up for a bit then will do my meal plan. And just about to discuss with hubby when would be good nights to go to the gym.

Soapie - well done to you - I'm very jelous of your completed list!

thanks Luby - but I'll fess up - it was only because I had an unexpected day off due to car troubles so had nothing better to do and, most importantly, because the sun was shining! I do not do serious housework when it's dark. And I can only do half hearted stuff when it's overcast and raining.

But, I'll really endorse the window cleaning stuff that I got off one or other thread on here. I put a bit of white vinegar, a bit of washing up liquid into a spray bottle and topped it up with water. I have never cleaned my windows so quickly nor had such good results.

Well done JillD on your early night - or at least getting into bed early. You now need to make sure you put the light out v. soon so you actually sleep.

Glad to read the motivation is stirring...

Extras

* Clean oven/hob if you must.. *rolls eyes* (done)

Soappie - DOn't buy frontline from vets, you can get it online, the one we used was something pet pharmacy I'm sure, will have a look for you if you want. It was almost half the price!

Thanks for the tip Taffy - I'll do some price comparisons - but I'm really fortunate - the vet I use is about half the price of normal 'towny' vets and runs an excellent practice - it's gives far better service than the NHS! And at a fraction of the cost!

If the price comparisons aren't too different, I'll continue to go to my vet so at least he gets some profit.

right well I did this lot

[strike]- load dishwasher
- wash lunchboxes
- DS lunch for tomorrow
- sort post
- get them to tidy up play room a bit before tea
- sort tea for LO
- see if a wash needs putting on[/strike]
- hot spot in kitchen
- hot spot in front room
- shoe box for school

I will grab a shoe box in the morning, I shoogled the papers in the kitchen into a neat pile and checked nothing needed doing tonight, and I totally ignored the stuff in the front room. Instead I watched Sunday's Lost.
Is that enough for maybe half a dog biscuit ?
