Have come to a decision, as I mentioned earlier in the week. Much as I'd like to give up facebook for Lent, due to problems with a friend who is about to go into hospital for surgery, I really can't justify giving it up. So instead I am:-

• not going to the supermarket down the road to get my lunch
• not going on facebook at work
• definitely not buying any ( Read more... )

I started this morning by flushing the plug of my hot water bottle down the toilet and reversing the car into the garden wall. I haven't yet looked at the damage on the car (topical I hope) but fingers crossed that you can buy hot water bottle plugs - although given that mine haemorages rubber when I pour it out in the morning, it might be prudent ( Read more... )

I finally went and got a contract for my phone. For 50p extra a month I get 500 texts and 300 minutes. And I get to keep my current phone and my current number. Phew. I'm very attached to both of these so it's a relief. What is also a relief is not having to pay 12p a text.

This means prolonged absences from Facebook - and I am finding that this is a Good Thing. I have wasted ( Read more... )

Om nom nom lunch. Even if you are only a small can of baked beans and little sausages, a yoghurt and a jam sandwich (oh my but I do love jam sandwiches). Anyway, speaking of food, Lent. This year I am trying a more general approach rather than the usual list of foods which are contraband. I am going to aim to eat more mindfully and simply. Which, ( Read more... )

Less tired than I was yesterday, which is excellent. I miss being able to travel and not finding it hugely tiring at the end point. Oh to be a hyper 14 year old again...then again maybe not. Of course the one hour commute to work doesn't help - and driving long distances is SO boring. But Eaglesham moor is definitely the way to go home, especially ( Read more... )
