-- Day 6,, reviewing the goals and going away... oh and messy time

August 30th 2007 15:47

As I go away tomorrow I am reviewing the goals I set on day 1 a week early.

Here goes....

STOP SMOKING :: Not happened but I have managed to cut down a little.
TAKE BETTER CARE OF MY BODY :: Weight decreased from 12 stone to 11stone 11lbs... which brings my bmi from 32.86 down to 32.2, which is still obese but an improvement never the less. Feeling much more energetic which is meaning loads of fun with my energetic 1 year old lol.
SORT OUT MY FINANCES :: I have began looking at the money I have and what I need to pay out so that I can start thinking of ways to pay off my debt. Moneysavingexpert.com is amazing lol.

TAKE BETTER CARE OF MY HOME :: We have began a huge declutter operation this week and my asthma has already begun to improve. The house is also beginning to feel a little less claustrophobic. PLUS I am sleeping better.
OPEN A SAVINGS ACCOUNT :: Not done but I have saved up nearly £100 this week towards going away tomorrow.
FRIENDS :: I have spent time talking to my friends and used myspace and facebook to make more. I have 55 people in my friends list and talk to about 1 of them lol. I also ran a search for people I went to school with on there and found quite a few lol.

So all in all not bad for the week.

Today I got the paints out for my 1 year old for the first time.
We made loads of mess on the newspaper which screwed up and went in the bin and she giggled all the way through it!!! She then got dunked in the bath lol cos she was covered head to toe, so she got water play into the bargain. What a fun afternoon.

I go away at 10am tomorrow so gonna go get packed. I am taking the camera so I can get some piccies for everyone. Having to use an old one as I have lost the lead for my new one, so I cannot guarrantee the picture quality. But lets see what happens lol.

Until Saturday nite xx

-- Day 5 (10pm) loneliness --

August 29th 2007 21:22

It's been a pretty uneventful day. But one thing has been on my mind all day long.
Isn't the world a lonely place?!

Start from birth. You come into the world without even a pair of pants and without knowing anybody. You meet doctors and nurses who you will probably never meet again and your parents who are the only people who will stick by you no matter what.

As life goes by we must all meet millions of people who never make a lasting impact on our lives and the majority of which we don't even get to know their names. This is especially true if you work in some form of customer facing position.

Once in a while you meet someone special who leaves their mark upon your heart and becomes somewhat of a tattoo on your life. These are the ones who are their when you feel lonely to make you feel as though there is someone there.
Don't get me wrong on this. Friends are amazing people. But if you think about it, you are always going to be alone.

I say this because people can be around you but they cannot ever reach into your mind and be one with you. Only a lucky few have such a strong connection with another that they cannot be described as lonely.

This poem is for all of you that have ever felt lonely in a crowded room and my guess is that is everyone.

Lonely

In my mind I'm lonely.
a solitary swan
a person without friendship
not a single one

My chums are all around me
yet I can't feel them near
I see their smiling faces
But I feel their not here

yet thats no means to sadness
I like to be alone
my mind is full of wonder
and thats for me alone

So anytime you're lonely
sad beyond your will
Look inside your happy mind
and drink until your full

Your friends won't always be there
but thats no need to sigh
For your best friend is always you
and with that you'll get by.

Hope it makes at least a little sense.

In other news, I go away on Friday morning so tomorrows will be my last post until saturday night when I will let you all know how my trip goes. There may even be some piccies if you all ask nicely.

kisses everyone and up the comment count please. I've had nothing for days sob

Today was so different to yesterday it is unbelievable.
I got a call at 9am from my mum asking if I wanted to go into the city centre shopping with my nanna. Seeing as I needed a new top for Friday and I wanted to get out of the house I decided to go.

Companies!

Chains, multimillion pound businesses or even ye olde corner shoppe. They are all companies. They all have customers, they all make money and they all have problems

-- Day 3 (10.30pm) THE DAY I CRIED --

August 27th 2007 21:56

Lil one was at her hardest today. I am beginning to think that she has hit the terrible twos early.

She woke us at 5 am again in tears. So I took her into our bed for a cuddle, which she refused. I then took her downstairs and did all the usual, bum breakfast etc

I was chattering to some pals on myspace today and it got me to thinking.

Why is it so much easier to make virtual friends than real life ones

Well today has been crazy.

I managed to declutter around half of the living room and all of the kitchen thanks to lil one getting me up at 5am LOL. She really can be relied on when I need to get up as she seems to know and makes sure she is in a really playful mood

I'll begin by saying thankyou to everyone who commented yesterday. Well done to those of you who have made positive changes in your life already and to those still doing it. You have all given me some hope and more push to succeed.

I have started today by throwing out all of the junk food in the house. All that remains snack wise is lots of fruit and my daughters rusks and crisps, neither of which I like lol

I have decided that it is time to sort out my life and make some positive changes.
It is hard to do this but I will begin with a list of things that I need to change or improve. Any suggestions or advice anyone can give would be greatfully accepted.
