What a good weekend

I have had a great weekend. Al just left to go home, which always feels like the end of the weekend to me. Friday night we crashed, but managed a good couple of hours on the Wii - I can actually hit the pins on Wii Bowling.......not in real life though.......I'm the one who cheers when the ball doesn't go into the gutter and who actively campaigns for the gutter blocker to be allowable to adults........

Then yesterday off to Bournemouth for a beach BBQ with friends. OK so the wind was gale force (and not the 'slightly breezy' I was promised :P) but the water was warm, the conversation was good, the food was excellent and I discovered a lovely Swedish cider flavoured with strawberries and lime :) (And also the barman was the typical 'surfer dud' that if I was 10yrs younger, I would waste a lot of time fantasising about :))

And the travellodge lived up to its advertising - we both slept really well!!! Like logs in fact :)

Today, it was back to Salisbury. I've got the bin sorted out, made it to Sainsburys before it closed to stock up on food and cleaning products, we got the stuff for the tip in my car and the treadmill upstairs. So actually, my hall looks really good right now. I'm going to keep it empty and clean the way it is now I think - it looks good. I'm planning on attacking the kitchen now after I have a hot drink - not so much cleaning it, as it is quite clean, but more just sorting out and putting things away that don't need to be out and clearing space on the counters and generall making better use of the space. That will keep me busy and not thinking about being alone again for another week.

I've got a fridge full of good food and I'm going to use it this week. I've got to remember to call by the garage in the morning and put some petrol in the car. I've got to remember the stuff in the boot for the tip tomorrow evening and to do something quick and easy for dinner cos I've got the PT tomorrow night as well.

I want this week to be busy and happy. Now I've got a treadmill facing me every day, I've not excuse for 'forgetting' to exercise so that means more adherence to the program I've set up for myself. I've got a year and three weeks to the wedding. At a pound a week, that's 55lbs or 4 stone (well, 3st 13lb.....) That would make a huge difference to my life right now. And it's only a year away........

actually I have this dream that on the morning of my wedding, I will go for a run........Now I need to make that run come through...........

After a good weekend, it's a good time to make a plan :)
