It has been a shock to the system to have some work over the last few weeks. I was just enjoying not having any to do too! What an inconvenience it is to have to fit work in around all my other activities! I guess it will help keep the wolf from the door as I don't get any pension until the end of the year.
It has been fairly chilly of late but at least the wind has died down. This weekend is supposed to be wet, wet, wet. At least we are not forecast to have 3 feet of snow like parts of N.E. America.
Peter, our friendly electrician, was in during the week to do the electrics for our bathroom and en-suite refurbishment. I now realise how much we rely on electricity as, with the power going on and off all day, I could not do anything that required electricity that I could not stop fairly quickly. So that meant no baking, no washing and no work (good excuse, eh?). So, what was I to do with myself? Well, I treated it as a day of leisure and got out a huge jigsaw that my mother-in-law gave me several years ago that I have never done. It's fiendish but I like a challenge.
Today I am chuffed to bits as my weight has gone down a pound a week since 1 January.....exactly on target. I have mainly achieved this by cutting out a lot of snacks...not all though....and always asking myself 'do I really need this?' before I stuff something in my mouth. Recording what I eat has been very easy to do with the app I am using and gives me a huge incentive to eat little enough that I hit my end of week target. Will I keep it up? Who knows. Time will tell.
