Thank You all for your messages about me getting older, i try to ignore it but no, i have to be reminded.
I will have to set the notifications for this thread to let me know people have posted in here. I have been so used to watching the wind blowing the dust up the street that i all but stopped coming in. Please don't think me ignorant.
Last few days have been hectic. I have a flat with an open plan kitchen/lounge set up. The kitchen is basically,,,,,well, that sums it up actually, basic. Not enough room for the kettle and mugs let alone the stuff that someone who enjoys cooking has got. Its an L shape which consists of roughly 1 meter on one said and the same on the other. Bear in mind that one side is all sink and drainer and you will get how small it is. 1 meter of worktop to do everything on.
So, and i will probably be in trouble, it states in the tenancy that i need to get consent to put in worktop. How does that work? I could get it if i were changing the whole kitchen, but making it better? hmmm. Anyway, so, i have added to it, an extra 800mm and double cupboard on the other side of the cooker, and 1.7 meters of worktop on the other, with 3 cupboards and my tumble dryer underneath. Once finished i will post a before and after picture.
I will finally be able to enjoy cooking again, and hopefully look into recipe modifying to make things slimming friendly. But wow, how tiring. Since the issues began i struggle with energy and concentration. What will eventually end up taking me as much as a week should normally have taken me a day and a half to 2 days. Oh well, at least i have no rush for this stuff to get done.
I have been as good as gold so far this week (since Monday) after my birthday blow out. Writing everything down again, back to basics. Was 3 lb down this morning, lets hope that keeps up until Friday morning. I really need to get below the 170 lbs now. 168 (12 stone) would be awesome, and then i will be on my final stone to go factor.
Fingers crossed.
I suppose i had best go and catch up with the challenges and update the sheets. Its lucky that i love you lot to bits. My commitment is absolute.
