Another update

Well things have improved a bit. I'm making some sales on ebay and I've made one sale on amazon – total profit so far is £18, but there is another £10 coming from ebay at the end of the week. Aim tonight is to get some more items on there so I can start emptying out the house. Addition to the plan is a trip to Cash Converters this Friday to trade in some DVD's and CD's I don't need anymore. There are a lot on there that I bought in a fit of something years ago and don't need anymore.

 

The corollary to the 'get more stuff on ebay' is that the flat will be emptier and therefore easier to clean and keep tidy. I'm doing well with the kitchen – well over a week since the Big Clean and it's still going strong. Living room is a bit more difficult, particularly with the ebay stuff still in there but I have a plan for that too. Bedroom will take longer. The bathroom has been clean for over a week and is staying so with minimal effort. Now I just need to get the clutter in the corners on ebay and sold and get it out of the house :)

 

Work is....well......well it's going. I'm not sure how I'm doing at the minute cos I have no motivation whatsoever and I don't want to be here anymore. So I need to up my efforts in other areas so that when the right job comes along I can move and move quickly to take advantage of it. Part of the emptying the house effort will work towards that. I have several books I know I can sell, I just need to list them and I'm searching for other places to sell books as well. It will all be fun.

 

That's the money stuff. The weight stuff is less certain. The  scales are hovering between 117 and 118kg at the minute and it's very annoying – it's all the more annoying for the fact that I know why they're not moving down at all. So I've come up with a new challenge for myself – there's a mini triathlon in Bournemouth in October – I'm going to do it. 400m swim, 11.5mile cycle and a 5km run/walk. The swim and the cycle will be no bother to me, but the run may be. So training required.

 

I did at least cook last night – dinner was a collection of mini aeros and milky ways, possibly one of the least healthy dinners I've ever had. I'm having a risotto for lunch today though and I've the same for tomorrow. Dinner tonight will be using up the melon and other fruit that is about to go off, so I will probably be lighter tomorrow morning even if just from the toilet trips ;)

 

So I'm feeling ok in total. Today will be spent working on various things to improve myself and my situation........I hope!
