Friday!! Woop! And I started my day with a bit of Tina Turner blaring out ' we dont need another hero, we dont need to know the way home' gotta love the power ballads!! Am feeling semi motivated at work today, ha probably cos the day starts with a Fri and ends in a day!

Another reason I am in a spiffing mood is because I have absolutely nothing planned all weekend. I intend to clean (my kitchen floor is shameful) bake, swim and catch up with friends with a sneaky lie in or two thrown in for good measure! This should also encourage me to have a 'weekend on budget' I feel sooooooo determined at the moment to sort out my finances, I think its cos owing money doesnt sit well with me (ha if anyone could see the state of my affairs they would say I do a good job of covering that up)

Went out last nite down to the local for some vino, live music and some sneaky indian delicacies. was nice to catch up with my sis and my best mate (they are two seperate entities, although obviously I class my sister as one of my best mates ) my bezzie mate is pregnant with her first so its a very exciting time and we have lots to talk about, although im not sure how reassuring childless me and childless sis are when she asks for advice on matters of the breast during pregnancy. Im sure our reassuring nods did the trick tho :) So ended the night with a peshwari naan and some poppadoms, im sure my digestive system appreciated them at half 11 at night. Disgustingly good :)

but.... I did go for a 3.4 mile run though before the pub visit so I am thinking that may have limited the damage slightly. Although, disappointed with the time, in my defence it was warm. Oh warm you say? How unusual, it is only July.

And an update on the hair loss, its still coming out but having researched it, its a phase that my body is going through and that it wont last (there were other more technical terms used) So the thin look will have to be in for a while... am trying to limit the use of the irons, wean myself off them as im not sure the 200 deg heat is helping. Love how I updated on the hair loss, updating myself clearly as I dont have any followers........ :(

Happy Fridays to one and all, will report over the weekend of any interesting going ons! x

to tweet or not to tweet that is the question...

Well its great to see that my blogging was an instant hit..... one post and im out! Useless! But Im back, determind to witter on regardless with the hope that I last longer than a day.

Well what has happened since I last blogged, namely not a huge amount, although my bank balance might tell a different story, since when did not even having a life cost so much money? hummmmffpphhhh - have worked out a budget for August and I really must try harder to stick to it, being debt free is a goal, or being slightly less in debt perhaps is more apt, either way I need to start counting those pennies. God job I spotted the must have black jacket in topshop this month rather than next eh? Thank heavens for small mercies!

So apart from no money and a black jacket not much else to report. I have finally jumped on the twitter bandwagon and I have to say, I am slowly coming round to it..... loving the voyeuristic nature of it all, maybe spying on celebrities is slightly sad but hey I know that Kirstie Allsopp is taking her kids surfing this morning.... how cool is that! Also theres not the pressure of reporting your status in the third person like facebook, phew. Dont worry facebook, you're still my number one social networking site... for the moment.

ooh and I have been working on a bucket list / dayzero list. I am combining the two so that its a win win situation being that a) the bucket list doesnt give me a time constraint well obviously it does but not that pressured 1001 days like day zero and b) day zero needs 101 things..... eeek thats alot of goals for even the most dedicated of man. So im reworking the list to suit me, rather than spending hours online pinching ideas from other peoples lists that I dont even want to do just to make up the 101 things, errrrrrrr remove make up every day for a year..... impossible!

So I will finalise the list and publish it on my blog so you can follow my progress, I say 'you' can follow my progress, im not actually sure that anybody is reading this but I live in hope.

Just before I go, anyone have any miracle cure for thinning hair? Im having a thin day. and not in body. I go through stages of losing my hair and I am coming to terms with it being hormonal as I cant think of any other reason why?? Stress?? maybe a little but in the great scheme of things probably not. Note to self, mustnt spend money I dont have on thickening products which make promises they cant keep.

Right back to work for me..... am off out for a run tonight, followed by wine! Perfect!! :) x

I rename this day, tired tuesday!

ooh a new blog! Ha wonder how many blogs are started on a tuesday rather than a monday, how off the wall and how unlike me!

I woke up today, still tired from the weekend and with a sore throat, why you ask? Well I was one of the millions of people who have recently seen Take That. Show was fabulous and a complete spectacle of charm and colour but I still seem incapable of behaving like a lovesick teenager when I go to that type of gig. Hence the sore throat, too much screaming and singing 'We can rule the woooooooooooooooooooooooorld' and 'A million love songs laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaater' so now I sound like deidre barlow after she has been chain smoking. Clearly when someone asks if I am coming down with something I just nod rather than explain that I was screaming and wailing at Gary, Mark, Howard and Jason like some 15 year old.

So I am stuck at work desperately trying to get motivated but clearly doing anything but, its also the gym class from hell tonight so I really need to work up some kinda enthusiasm come 6pm. I also now have 3 days left to decide on whether I can muster up some energy to attempt a half marathon in September. Problem is, when I suggested it in April I was full of it but now three months later that has somewhat waned and made way for the fear of not being able to make it round. Aside from the fact it is going to cost me 30 english pounds I dont have, lesson learnt today - keep gob shut until certain.

Right well I suppose thats enough for the minute, considering I am actually being paid to do something else right now - sssssssssssssssssh I wont tell if you wont. I will hopefully be back with more exciting ramblings later and maybe minus the sore throat but plus the enthusiasm for exercise...
