Hola Blogworld!
Moi? Slacking already? Never! Just been a manic few weeks promise! Just had a check through the day zero list and I've not made as much headway as I would've like.... quick update for you:
So No 1 on the list: Run a half marathon..... I've of late been getting back into the habit of regular pavement pounding and so the thought of enduring a half marathon later on this year isnt quite as horrendous as first consider. Although when I attempted 5 miles on Sunday some sort of thing pinged in my foot, which led to shin pain and altogether uncomfortableness which ultimately meant 1 mile in and I was done for. But, not one to give in, new trainers have been ordered (think the 6 year old ones I was plodding may have been slightly past their run by date) so will hope to regain some miles next week. I am also considering something a bit mad for charity close to my friends heart along the half marathon vein..... will post more if I dont come to my senses soon. I blame that Eddie Izzard.
Another dream for 940 days time is to have safely fallen in love. If not with a member of the opposite sex I have a fall back in the guise of my BF baby Toby, whats not to love. But in the hope that there might be a member of the opposite sex out there who isnt repulsed by me I've relogged on for a free trial to online dating. Dare I say there appears to be a slightly better calibre of fellow singletons out there, either that or my standards have dropped since crimbo. More than possible. Anyway. am considering being a fully paid up member again so watch this space......
No 81 get my toenails sorted out, won't elaborate on this as theres never a good time to discuss feet but have been to the doctors and am on the tablets to hopefully sort it out. If I could just fast forward to 6 months time please...... great timing as ever by me, the flip flop season will have come and gone before I can show off my swanky new and improved feet.
Still comping daily, have won something else...... a cuddly koala. That had better not be my third lucky thing, I would have preferred the £10,000 GMTV giveaway if I had the choice??
Right, think thats me dayzero accomplishments up to date, busy weekend coming up where I am hoping to give the drink more cocktails a good going over when in London!

Week 3: Spring is here = cleaning time!
God what a boring title - I might as well say switch off now..... don't though, I'll fill this with fun, promise!
So how has the last week been with the Day Zero? Well as the title suggests, as the sunshine broke out I decided that its officially Spring and therefore naturally time to spring clean the gaff! Well, when I say Gaff, I mean 1 and a bit rooms, but hey, Rome wasn't built in a day, TC's house wasn't cleaned in a day. True story. But I did achieve another tick this week 'clean the undersink cupboard out'. Now, bearing in mind I hadn't actually removed everything since I moved in 4 years ago (sssssssssssshhhhh I dont want Kim & Aggy after me!) it was traumatic but I found out that I had enough dishcloths & wire wool thingys to last me a lifetime. If I could find a spare 5 mins (well 5 hours) in my week I do intend to pursue this cleaning burst before the dust settles on what I've just cleaned.
Improving my Excel knowledge is also a work in progress that is going well. I have been impressing myself at work and have been making a spreadsheet at every opportunity, formulas and all, with a bit of shading thrown in for good measure (thanks dummies guide to...... ) Next stop Powerpoint!
After the lucky streak thats been following me around, the third thing has yet to materialise - still been plugging away at the comps & the lottery.
Saying Si instead of Nada is always a toughie with me - set in my ways & sometimes lazy. I may have not said yes instead of No but I have definitely kept to plans this weekend where maybe in the past it would have been easier to say sorry I can't make it anymore & made up a rubbish excuse. As a result of this, I've had one of the best weekends I've had in a while.... not straying further than 5 miles from home..... hadn't actually thought of it like that. hmmmmmm.
Anyway, this coming week is going to hopefully involve lots more cleaning, cocktail drinking, cake baking, laughing & who knows, I might even leave a post it note in a random place! No, I'm not telling you where.... that'll spoil the surprise!
God, it didnt really get much better did it - apologies for a sleep inducing blog. Must try harder! x
