Starting step count: 3536
Sit up reps: 50
Leg lift reps: 25
Finishing step count: 3588
I know that it doesn't sound like much to be proud of, but it's the first time since I was at school that I've done any exercise other than walking so I'm just going to take it really slowly and build it up very gradually, just like with the puppy's walks.
I really am going to bed now. Nite nite everyone!

Saturday 29th February 2020
Mornin' all.
I've now reported the seller to eBay and if they haven't resolved it within 5 business days, eBay will step in to sort it out, so I've put in a reminder in my calendar to take it to the next step if I haven't got a reply from the seller a week today.
Gonna take the puppy out for her stroll now and hope she behaves herself. Apparently it's not raining ☔ out there so at least we won't get wet.
➰➰➰
Back now. The puppy 🐶 was a reasonable puppy on our stroll... not the best ever, but she behaved pretty well. Time to take me pills now.
➰➰➰
OK, pills taken. They all went down quite easily today. The 5-HTP and OAB pills are the hardest ones to take, but they went down first time today, thankfully.
Time to watch the American Masterchef finale now.
➰➰➰
She won❗❗❗ The person I wanted to win did it❗❗❗ I'm on the verge of tears now 🤣
➰➰➰
That's my Fitbit charged up for another few days, so I've put it back around my ankle and I'm just waiting for the Freegle-er to come and pick up the electric blanket now, then I can relax for the rest of the day.
➰➰➰
That's the electric blanket gone now, so I can relax for the rest of the day.
➰➰➰
Puppy's been walked and fed for the second time and is now asleep in her bed, bless 'er.
➰➰➰
Pills taken and I'm gonna try and remember to do leg lifts and sit-ups tonight to try and get rid of my belly and thighs. Just like with the walking, I'm gonna build up each of them reeeeeally slowly and try and remember to put in an extra, really short blog post after I've finished doing them each night... you watch me forget though❗ 🤣
➰➰➰
Heading to bed now... hope I remember to start on the leg lifts and sit-ups by the time I get upstairs 🤣 Nite nite orl❗

Friday 28th February 2020
Mornin' all.
Less sleep definitely works for me❗ I didn't go back to sleep this morning, so I had, according to the Fitbit app, 8 hours and 14 minutes of sleep last night and was only restless 3 times instead of my usual double figures and I feel more awake, I've got more energy and I'm not tired at all. I'm thinking that I need to remember to do that every day now. Gonna take the puppy out for her first stroll as soon as it's light enough out there.
➰➰➰
We're back now. Our stroll lasted for 17 minutes again and the puppy behaved really well today.
Time for my morning pills now.
➰➰➰
Pills taken. They all went down nice and easily this morning, so I hope that means that I'll have a good day today... keep your fingers crossed 🤞 for me, please❓ My Fitbit Charge 3 should be turning up today... can't wait to see what it's like and work out how to use it❗ From the video's I've seen, it's very similar to my Inspire, just with added monitoring bits is all.
➰➰➰
Just realised that the Charge 3 hasn't even been dispatched yet, so I've sent the seller an email. They've got until midnight to reply or I'll be requesting a refund and giving them a thumbs down review... maybe it's just not meant for me❓
➰➰➰
Got 6 photo's of the puppy this morning... hold on while I get them coded and uploaded.
➰➰➰
OK, done and dusted... time to put my laptop on the floor in preparation for my lunch now... BBL8r❗
➰➰➰
Cor lummy that was more filling than I was expecting! Deceptively thin and a kick of spice that I wasn't expecting. 'twas a huuuuge lunch and, according to the Fitbit app, had 854 calories in it, so I need to walk that off with the puppy this afternoon, so gonna take her out now while I think of it.
➰➰➰
Back now. It's raining out there again, but it's only water so won't hurt either of us. Remembered to log it in Fitbit and I'm well on the way to hitting 3,500 steps by bed time. Absolutely cream crackered, physically, but that's OK right❓
➰➰➰
Just called my mum to see how she's been doing with all the rain... I called her after the first storm but didn't hear anything back so was starting to get worried. She's doing OK though, the rain has caused more mud and collapsed trees than flooding where she is and she sounds really well too, which is even better.
Just waiting for someone from Freegle to come and pick up the light bulbs now and I've got 3 people lined up for the electric blanket that I advertised on there this morning too 🤣
➰➰➰
That's the light bulbs gone and the electric blanket is being picked up tomorrow morning. Just need to get rid of the empty sweets/popcorn tubs now... I'm thinking they'll go like a shot in the Summer for school fairs and stuff so I won't bin those just yet.
➰➰➰
Off to beddy-byes now... see you all tomorrow. Nite nite orl❗ 💤

Thursday 27th February 2020
Mornin' all. How are you all doing this morning❓
I've taken the puppy out for her first stroll of the day and it was snowing❗ It didn't settle 'cos it was very wet, but it was definitely snow. Fed the puppy too. I'm giving her less food today 'cos she had a lot of potato on Monday but didn't reduce her food then, so I'm reducing it today. She might be hungry today, but we don't want her to put weight on again, we want her to maintain where she is atm.
Taken my morning pills, including the Calcium, so that's it now until bedtime.
I've put loads of photo's of our beautiful puppy up on my homepage so I hope you enjoy them... she's actually awake in them for a change 😁
We're having pazza bake for lunch today but Steve says we haven't got any grated cheese left after our jacket tatties on Monday, so he's gonna use plastic cheese instead, which'll be different❗ 😀
➰➰➰
That's the 5-HTP just been delivered, so just waiting for the Charge 3 to turn up now... bet it'll come to the door while we're eating either today or tomorrow 'cos that's what happened with the jeans yesterday 🤣
➰➰➰
That's the puppy walked for this afternoon and I'm over my daily steps target too, which is great. I'd love to get to 3,500 steps by the time I head to bed tonight, but 3,000 is my target for this afternoon... wish me luck please❗
➰➰➰
Only got another 7 steps to go to hit my first target... doubt I'll get another 500 in before bedtime but we shall see.
➰➰➰
Just fed the puppy and went through the 3,000 steps, so I've just got to do 410 more before I go to bed and I'll be a happy bunny. It's only another 4 an' a bit trips to the kitchen and back then that's sorted❗
➰➰➰
That's me last 2 pills of the day taken, and I wanna try and stay awake until 10pm tonight and wake up at my usual 6am tomorrow so that I can get 8 hours of sleep to see if I feel any more awake tomorrow, 'cos it seems that the more sleep I get, the more tired I am that morning for some reason❗ Just gotta stay awake for the next 3 hours is all now.
➰➰➰
It's just gone 8.30pm 🕣 so I'm gonna shut down and head to bed now. Won't be able to sleep yet, but my brain can slowly start switching off ready for when I go to bed. Nite nite orl.

Wednesday 26th February 2020
Mornin' all.
Had to reboot so that my antivirus programme could finish installing the update but it's all good to go now. I've taken the puppy for her stroll, fed and watered her and she's now asleep behind me. I've taken my morning pills and there's a few photo's to put up on my site, so I'll do that now before I forget... hold on...
I was wrong... there were only a couple of photo's rather than a few. They are up on my site now though.
➰➰➰
Taken a few more photo's of the puppy and they are up on my homepage now, so go and enjoy them❗
➰➰➰
Just had a letter through the post about my hospital appointment... in August instead of June though, so Steve's just called them and apparently by the time they went to book it in, it had been taken, so they sent me a new one. Tsk❗ I've got the letter though and the hospital confirmed that the August appointment is the right one, so I just need to keep it safe and not forget about it again 🤣
➰➰➰
I've just opened the jeans package and they are even better than the photo's showed❗ Yes, there is a tiny repair needed on one of the legs but that really is it... it looked worse than it really is and there isn't a hole anywhere that I was expecting too, so I've left a ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ review for the seller on eBay... assuming they fit and Steve's mum doesn't mind doing the minor repair for me, it's definitely one of my better clothing buys and at 99p I don't mind if they don't last long because of me losing more weight, it's worth it to me❗
➰➰➰
Just tried the jeans on and they are brilliant❗ A couple of inches too long, but that's normal for me and trousers 'cos even petite clothes (which is what the jeans are) are usually too long for me too. I'm also very nearly size 12 too, 'cos they are ever so slightly loose on me, but that's OK 'cos my skin expands when I have a bath or shower and it's for exactly that reason that I bought so cheaply... it doesn't matter if I only wear them for a little while 'cos I've spent so little on them❗ It'll be the same when I'm officially size 12 too... cheap and temporary until I'm the right weight for my height, then I'll invest in higher quality clothes and wear them for longer. It's taken very nearly (as in a couple of weeks) 17 years but I'm very nearly there now❗
➰➰➰
That's the puppy walked and fed for the second time today... time to feed the humans now❗ 🤣
➰➰➰
Still virus free, so time for the backups now... BBS.
➰➰➰
Back-ups finished and restore point created, so I can check my email for the first time today now.
➰➰➰
Just remembered to take my Calcium, so I've taken 100% of my pills so far today, just got my last 2 prescriptions to take this evening now then that's me sorted until tomorrow morning.
➰➰➰
That's my last two pills of the day taken and I'm all caught up with my emails now so I'm just lounging around until I feel tired now. I've taken a photo of the sleepy puppy, so I'll code and upload that now before I forget again...
➰➰➰
Off to beddy-byes now, for an early night. See you all tomorrow... nite nite orl❗

Tuesday 25th February 2020
Mornin' all. How are you doing today?
I've taken the puppy for her morning stroll and taken my morning pills as well as taking a few photo's of her for my site, so I just need to do the email report from FitBit now.
➰➰➰
OK, the report's up, so just need to save, code and upload the photo's now.
➰➰➰
Taken the puppy for her second stroll and remembered to manually log it in the online Fitbit and I'm now over my target steps, so every step I take from now on is a bonus... I'm hoping to get another 1,000 steps in by the time I head to bed tonight so that I can get it to about 3,500 steps... wish me luck❓❗
We're having jacket tatties for our lunch today... we ordered 4 individual potato's instead of our usual prepacked ones on our shopping this week and they are huuuge❗❗ Good job I'm hungry❗ 🤣
➰➰➰
I only managed ¾ of my lunch... and Steve didn't finish all of his either❗ I'm thinking maybe 3 potato's instead of 4 next week❓
Only got 504 steps to go before bedtime, to reach 3,500 steps today.
➰➰➰
Feeling a lot better now... not bloated any more and I don't feel sick now, thanks to the ginger beer.
Got 131 steps left to go to reach 3,500 steps, which I'll hopefully achieve by going for a wee, coming back into the living room, shutting down my laptop and heading to bed.
➰➰➰
Going to bed now... I'm absolutely wiped out. I'll be back again tomorrow if you fancy joining me then❓ For now, I'll say nite nite orl.

Monday 24th February 2020
Mornin' all.
Taken the puppy for her Marathon Monday morning stroll and taken my morning pills. I had an initial appointment at the hospital today that me an' 'im had totally forgotten about - woops❗ 😞 It's been rearranged now though and they are sending a letter with it on too. It's in both of our calendars, Steve's told his mum and she's put it on her calendar. Like Steve said though, neither of us regularly miss appointments... this is only my second in the last decade which ain't bad going at all I don't reckon.
➰➰➰
That's the rubbish and recycling been and gone and the bag and box brought in. All three of us are wiped out and two of the three of us are asleep right now... I could do with joining in too 🤣
It's zoop for lunch today so nice and quick and easy... assuming me an' 'im stay awake for long enough of course 🤣
➰➰➰
Just had me zoop and remembered to put it into Fitbit. The three of us are awake for the time being... let's see how long it lasts though❗ 🤣
➰➰➰
That's the puppy's second stroll finished with. 13 minutes according to Fitbit which brings todays active minutes to 47 minutes, which ain't too bad at all. The puppy's already asleep between Steve's legs, I'm barely able to function, but Steve's wide awake now❗ I've got a head/eye ache brewing though, so should I take a paracetamol before it gets too bad or wait until it gets worse❓
➰➰➰
That's the Calcium taken, so that's it until tonight now... absolutely cream crackered, but the furthest I'm gonna move until bedtime is going to the bathroom.
➰➰➰
I've taken more photo's of the puppy dog, which'll be up by the time I publish this, so go and see them❗❗
➰➰➰
Marie came over to help with the shopping and changed the lightbulb in the bedroom so I can safely go to bed without feeling where I'm going and hoping I don't fall over - thank you so so much, Marie... I really appreciate it❗
➰➰➰
Just taken my final two pills of the day and I'm gonna go straight to bed, so I'm gonna say nite nite orl now... see you all again tomorrow❗ 💤

Sunday 23rd February 2020
Completely forgot about updating this blog this morning... woops❗
Not much has happened though, TBH... just the standard Sunday things for me - woke up, walked the puppy, fed her, took loads of photo's of her, updated my homepage, took my pills, checked my emails, ordered more 5-HTP from Simply Supplements (you can get 10% off your first order if you use my name, Amanda George, and email address, amanda.k.george@googlemail.com, in the 'referred by a friend?' box at the checkout) updated the spreadsheet, checked Facebook, took the puppy out for her second stroll, emailed the spreadsheet to myself and you're now up to date on my morning❗
We've done really well with our rubbish and recycling this week... only maybe 4 or 5 bottles in the recycling and 1 black bag of rubbish that was only just full❗ I'm not aware of us doing anything out of the ordinary this week, we obviously just haven't used as much as we usually do❗
Time to put the spreadsheet on my homepage now, hold on❗
➰➰➰
Spreadsheet is up on my homepage now. Had pazza and sauce for lunch... the sauce was watery and had very little flavour again - you really do get what you pay for with that, I reckon❗
➰➰➰
Done almost 4,000 steps today and my body is really feeling it, so I'm gonna head to bed now, for a really early night. Sea ewe orl in the morning... nite nite❗ 💤
➰➰➰
Not much has happened though, TBH... just the standard Sunday things for me - woke up, walked the puppy, fed her, took loads of photo's of her, updated my homepage, took my pills, checked my emails, ordered more 5-HTP from Simply Supplements (you can get 10% off your first order if you use my name, Amanda George, and email address, amanda.k.george@googlemail.com, in the 'referred by a friend?' box at the checkout) updated the spreadsheet, checked Facebook, took the puppy out for her second stroll, emailed the spreadsheet to myself and you're now up to date on my morning❗
We've done really well with our rubbish and recycling this week... only maybe 4 or 5 bottles in the recycling and 1 black bag of rubbish that was only just full❗ I'm not aware of us doing anything out of the ordinary this week, we obviously just haven't used as much as we usually do❗
Time to put the spreadsheet on my homepage now, hold on❗
➰➰➰
Spreadsheet is up on my homepage now. Had pazza and sauce for lunch... the sauce was watery and had very little flavour again - you really do get what you pay for with that, I reckon❗

Mornin' all.
Does anyone else use Blogger for their own blog please❓ If you do, could you leave me a comment in reply to this post letting me know how to change the font colour on my blog from now on so that it's automatically blue instead of black please❓ I wanna keep past colours exactly as they are, but future posts in blue if that's even possible❓
➰➰➰
Gonna take the puppy for her first stroll of the day now... BBS❗
➰➰➰
OK, we're back now. I'm thinking that she's feeling her age now 'cos she's got a lot less energy and motivation than even yesterday and all she wants to do is walk slowly and sleep 😟 I'm gonna see how she goes for the rest of the day and take it from there... maybe she's just tired❓
➰➰➰
Got a couple of photo's of the puppy dog in her nest that I'm gonna put on my site... on the verge of falling asleep, bless 'er❗
➰➰➰
We're having not sausage rolls and chips for lunch today and I'm ready for them right now 🤣
Gonna take the puppy out for her second stroll when Steve goes to put the lunch on then feed her when we get back so that she isn't too hungry... I think she gets fed quite early at Helen's 'cos she'd already had her lunch at 🕜 1.30pm when she came back on Thursday so maybe she's just getting confuzzled about the different feeding times here❓
I just want what's best for her is all❗
➰➰➰
Steve's about to go and put the lunch on, so I'll get me and the puppy ready and take her for her second/last shorter walk of the day. I'm not expecting my Fitbit to record any active minutes 'cos it didn't yesterday and we walked significantly slower than normal in the afternoon. BRB❗
➰➰➰
Back now. The puppy was just knackered this morning 'cos she's back to being herself now and was more willing to walk on the second stroll of the day, thankfully. She's had her lunch and is wandering around the house again now, so I can, officially, stop worrying 😌
Soooo ready for my lunch... my belly thinks my throat's been cut right now❗ 🤣
➰➰➰
Thaaaaat's better❗ Simple (literally just meat free sausage rolls, chips and tomato ketchup) and easy to prepare, but there ain't nowt wrong with that - who needs fancy meals that take hours to prepare and don't even fill a corner, when you can just bung a couple of things on a tray, shove it in the oven for half an hour, plate it, smother it in sauce and eat. Best way to be I reckon... the Harvester is the poshest I go I'm afraid, and even then it's simple meals like butternut squash in Autumn and Winter or veggie lasagne in Spring and Summer as well as loading up on veggies at the salad bar while you're waiting❗
➰➰➰
Just taken my last pills of the day, currently charging up my Fitbit while I'm waiting for them to kick in, then I'll head to bed. Apparently there's a way to manually log exercise in the app, so I'm trying to find that right now.
➰➰➰
Four more photo's of the puppy to put up then I'm off to bed 'cos the Fitbit is fully charged now. Today has been a pretty long post, hasn't it❗
➰➰➰
OK, photo's are up now, so I'm off to bed 🛌 now.
Nite nite orl... sea ewe in the morning 💤

Friday 21st February 2020
Morning all. How are you all doing so far today❓ Hope you're OK❗
I've taken the puppy out for her stroll and we walked a bit slower than normal to test out my theory and I gained an extra 3 active minutes on my Fitbit (you can save 28% on it if you get it now... not sure how long it'll be reduced price though), so I'm gonna try walking the puppy slowly this afternoon too, to see if I can get it past 10 minutes so that it's recorded as active minutes.
I've taken my pills and they all went down pretty easily again, so I'm hoping that means today is gonna be a good day. Haven't taken the FA 'cos I took it yesterday, so I've taken all three FA pills this week now and don't wanna OD on them. Need to take my Calcium now though, before I forget it... hold on❗
OK, that's the Calcium swallowed, so that's it until this evening now.
➰➰➰
Just brushed me teeth... almost forgot to use the mouthwash again 🤣
➰➰➰
Got more photo's of the puppy dog, still in her nest... maybe she's wiped out after our morning stroll or something❓
➰➰➰
OK, all the photo's are up on my homepage now. The puppy was making the most of her nest while I took them... it's the only time she stays still enough for me to take photo's that are actually in focus 🤣
➰➰➰
That's the puppy walked for the second time and I remembered to go really slowly but it still hasn't shown up in Fitbit so I'll just have to get used to only the morning strolls showing up.
Steve's just called me for lunch, so I'm gonna put my laptop on the floor and go and get it now... BBS.
➰➰➰
Cor lummy, I'm stuffed now. Significantly over target with the calories in versus the calories out so far today, so I'm hoping that'll be in the green by the time I go to bed... I've been significantly under target every day for the last couple of weeks at least, so one pig-out should hopefully even things out a bit... an occasional calorie pig-out is OK innit❓❓
➰➰➰
Just bought myself a Fitbit Charge 3 on eBay and it didn't cost me a penny, thanks to Nectar. It's definitely worth those extra couple of clicks to get points/cashback so that you can save up for bigger purchases like this without it costing you a penny❗ Even better is that I've still got over £50 worth of Nectar points still to spend❗
➰➰➰
Just bid on a pair of jeans on eBay too. My maximum bid is £1.01 and I'm reluctant to pay much more than that 'cos they've got a couple of holes in them that Steve reckons his mum won't mind patching up and I'm reluctant to spend too much until I'm back down to the clothes size that is healthy for my height and clothes size is stable, then I'll look into buying more jeans and trousers in that size... hopefully I'll be there by the end of the year, but I'm not pressuring myself or denying myself the things I want to eat in the meantime, 'cos that's not maintainable and I'll put weight on when I eventually allow myself those treats that I was denying myself. I'm just cutting down portion sizes and walking more so I'm losing the weight slowly but surely... best way to do it according to the doc the first time I was weighed back in October after getting the Fitbit and I've already lost 5kg and a clothes size since then❗ Slow but sure wins the race.
Gonna take my last two pills of the day and head to bed for an early night now. Nite nite orl... see you all again tomorrow.

Thursday 20th February 2020
Mornin' all.
Just come up with an image showing how much fur Mitzi was missing when we very first re-homed her and the result a month and a day later... impressive stuff❗ I'll put it below this so that you can see what I mean:
Impressive stuff❗ She hasn't done too badly health-wise since we've had her - the skin condition when we very first brought her home and now her thyroid, but other than that she's been fine and dandy, bless her❗
Thanks to the amazing experience we've had with the puppy, Steve's agreed that when she goes to Rainbow Bridge 🌈 we will both, of course, be absolutely devastated, but we'll rehome another Dogs Trust dog, ideally another Westie, but if not then another small terrier - this coming from the same person who didn't like small dogs before we rehomed her 🤣 She's been such an amazing little girl over the last 9¾ years that she's totally changed his mind. Couldn't be without her in the house any more, other than going for vet checks and medicated baths and stuff.
➰➰➰
sHE WAS ONLY
THE PUPPY'S COMING HOME THIS AFTERNOON❗❗❗
She's been gone for less than 24 hours this time and apparently Helen said that she wants to try just a single medicated bath a week for a while, just to see how the puppy gets on with that, but it's such amazing news that she's coming home and only needs one bath a week now... the end is in sight at last❗❗ Thank you so much for your support with Mitzi's health for the last few months, Helen... I really appreciate it❗
➰➰➰
THE PUPPY'S HOME NOW❗❗❗
She was gone for 15 hours this time and she's gone straight between Steve's feet an fallen asleep❗ 🤣 Got some photo's of her to put up on my site now, so hold on while I do that now...
➰➰➰
My PSPX2 isn't loading up, so I need to reboot - BBS
➰➰➰
...and I'm back❗
Everything is loaded up so I can resize the photo's and upload them now. I took the puppy for her stroll and she was a good little girl, but it didn't show up as any active minutes in the app unfortunately 😞.
➰➰➰
That's the photo's resized, so time to code and upload them now.
➰➰➰
...and they're up on my site now. Puppy's been fed and I've got my third hot drink of the day. Even remembered to take my Calcium while the photo's were uploading too; only 3 hours late 🤣
➰➰➰
I'm heading to bed for an early night now... I'm absolutely wiped out❗ Be back again tomorrow, but I'll say my usual nite nite orl for now.
Thank you for reading❗ Feel free to pass the URL on to friends and family and leave me comments and stuff... I read every one and reply if needed, I appreciate you all❗

Wednesday 19th February 2020
Morning all. How are you doing today❓ It's just starting to get light out there, so I'm gonna take the puppy for her stroll now. BBS❗
➰➰➰
Back now and the puppy has been walked and fed so it's time for my pills now.
➰➰➰
Pills all went down a treat this morning... even the 5-HTP (use my name and email address in the referred by a friend if you're a new customer and you'll get, I think, 10% off your order) didn't have a chance to melt (like it usually does a bit), so hopefully that means today will be an even better day than yesterday❗
➰➰➰
Taken 5 photo's of the puppy dog while Steve's out and about again. Gonna put them on my site now while I remember... hold on.
➰➰➰
OK, the photo's are now up on my site and the hubby is back, so I'm lost now... what do I do with my time❓❓
➰➰➰
Just had a letter from my GP basically saying that there's a chance I'll recover from the psychotic depression but might relapse and that if I want to go down that route, he can refer me to a consultant psychiatrist to monitor me as I come off the AP's and that if I do relapse then I just need to go back onto them again.
The WKE is a bit more complicated... I've already written to the Neurologist who treated me while I was in hospital and I've got a phone number for a place that will be able to give me more information on hopefully my recovery, so I just need to contact them now.
Basically, there's a good chance I can recover from the psychosis and I just need to contact Headway about if I'll ever recover from the WKE. Need to remember to do that though - you watch me forget 🤣
➰➰➰
That's the virus scan finished. Reassuringly I'm still virus free, so time for the backups now.
➰➰➰
Just checked my bank account and I'll have 36p left in my account by the time Sunday rolls around. Thankfully I'll be getting my benefit on Monday so I'll be able to pay Steve back the £6 he lent me and I'll be able to replace the money that I took out of my other current account too and hopefully 🤞 be able to put some cash aside for a new external hard drive too. Need another £60 to get the one I want 'cos it's the best value for money, and I'll be able to afford it as long as Steve doesn't borrow any more money from me for the next few months.
➰➰➰
Got 840gb left on my external hard drive which'll see me through most of the rest of the year and means I can save up the almost £200 for a 10tb hard drive instead of the 6tb one I found an hour or so ago... mind you, it's only 4tb more for double the price❗ Hmmmm.
➰➰➰
The backups have finished so I've put it all away and can finally stretch my poor knee again. It's only once a week for a couple of hours though, so it's not too bad, in the grand scheme of things.
➰➰➰
Loads more photo's of the puppy this evening. Just waiting for my FTP programme to load up then they'll be up on my site.
➰➰➰
OK, the photo's are all up on my homepage now... loads and loads of 'em, considering the photo taking got off to a veeery slow start this morning...
She's just gone❗ I'm missing her already and she's only been gone for a minute❗ Literally❗ 😢 I'm gonna take me pills and head to bed now. Nite nite orl.

Tuesday 18th February 2020
Mornin' all.
The puppy has been walked and fed... need to remember to do an extra length this afternoon 'cos we came home a touch too soon today. All my pills 💊 went down really easily this morning so I'm hoping for another good day today... keep your fingers crossed 🤞 that today is a good day for me❓ Please❓
➰➰➰
Got the Fitbit email report on my site now and I'm currently uploading a photo of the sleepy puppy to the first page of my site. I'm hoping to get more photo's of her today, but no promises.
➰➰➰
Taken another photo 📷 of the puppy 🐶 and the wild bird feeders are filled up and ready to go outside now... Steve said he'll "do that when the potato's are cooking" for our lunch, so expect some photo's of our tiny back yard hopefully with some wild birds having a feed off them.
We used to only get seagulls because there was a big water bit right in the centre that they all swam on and demanded chips and crisps and jacket tatties from unknowing passers by. Thankfully it's been turned into a huge slap of concrete now and our nearest water is the Quays a few miles away. They used to nest on the bus depot, but they've stopped doing that too now, which is even better, so hopefully we'll get wrens and blue tits and robins etc coming to the feeders now... they're too small for thrushes and blackbirds and stuff but hopefully we'll get a bird table at some point in future if we get some birds coming to the feeders.
I think the RSPB were looking for people to record the birds in their garden or something weren't they❓❓ We're prolly too late for that now though, but we're still doing what we can for the wildlife❗ I'd love to get a hedgehog family visiting us too, but there's no way for them to get in and out of the back yard without coming through the house 'cos there's three 12 foot high walls and the house on the other side, so it's not suitable for things that can't fly. Maybe a bat box or something like that instead❓
➰➰➰
That's the puppy walked and fed again. As promised, Steve put the bird food containers up while we were out, so now we've just gotta be patient and hope that birds decide to visit us now.
I remembered about walking slower on our stroll, but it didn't make any difference to the active minutes, so maybe it does have to be distance rather than speed❓ Not to worry, I'm not going to increase the distance before the end of Summer unless the puppy wants to and my legs can cope with it.
➰➰➰
I've just taken the Calcium and it went down pretty easily and today is going well so far. Steve's just given me the requested 10 minute warning, so I'm gonna put my laptop on the floor and go and grab my jacket tatty. Be back this afternoon, after I've had me lunch🍴.
➰➰➰
Cor lummy, that was more filling than I thought... they were only small potatoes, but they filled me right up very quickly. I'm not bloated, but not far off it❗
➰➰➰
Just put another 4 photo's and 2 video's of the puppy onto my site and I'm thinking that I'll have an early night tonight 'cos I'm already totally cream-crackered even though I haven't done anything too exhaustapayting today, so I'm wondering if I should have a couple of squirts of the B12 to see if that helps.
➰➰➰
Decided against the B12... gonna take my last pills of the day and head to bed for a really early night, in the hopes that I wake up feeling better tomorrow morning.
BRB.
OK, they're taken and I'll be off to bed as soon as I start yawning 👍
➰➰➰
Righty-oh... Steve's asleep so I'm heading to bed. Nite nite orl❗

Got the Fitbit email report on my site now and I'm currently uploading a photo of the sleepy puppy to the first page of my site. I'm hoping to get more photo's of her today, but no promises.
➰➰➰
Taken another photo 📷 of the puppy 🐶 and the wild bird feeders are filled up and ready to go outside now... Steve said he'll "do that when the potato's are cooking" for our lunch, so expect some photo's of our tiny back yard hopefully with some wild birds having a feed off them.
We used to only get seagulls because there was a big water bit right in the centre that they all swam on and demanded chips and crisps and jacket tatties from unknowing passers by. Thankfully it's been turned into a huge slap of concrete now and our nearest water is the Quays a few miles away. They used to nest on the bus depot, but they've stopped doing that too now, which is even better, so hopefully we'll get wrens and blue tits and robins etc coming to the feeders now... they're too small for thrushes and blackbirds and stuff but hopefully we'll get a bird table at some point in future if we get some birds coming to the feeders.
I think the RSPB were looking for people to record the birds in their garden or something weren't they❓❓ We're prolly too late for that now though, but we're still doing what we can for the wildlife❗ I'd love to get a hedgehog family visiting us too, but there's no way for them to get in and out of the back yard without coming through the house 'cos there's three 12 foot high walls and the house on the other side, so it's not suitable for things that can't fly. Maybe a bat box or something like that instead❓
➰➰➰
That's the puppy walked and fed again. As promised, Steve put the bird food containers up while we were out, so now we've just gotta be patient and hope that birds decide to visit us now.
I remembered about walking slower on our stroll, but it didn't make any difference to the active minutes, so maybe it does have to be distance rather than speed❓ Not to worry, I'm not going to increase the distance before the end of Summer unless the puppy wants to and my legs can cope with it.
➰➰➰
I've just taken the Calcium and it went down pretty easily and today is going well so far. Steve's just given me the requested 10 minute warning, so I'm gonna put my laptop on the floor and go and grab my jacket tatty. Be back this afternoon, after I've had me lunch🍴.
➰➰➰
Cor lummy, that was more filling than I thought... they were only small potatoes, but they filled me right up very quickly. I'm not bloated, but not far off it❗
➰➰➰
Just put another 4 photo's and 2 video's of the puppy onto my site and I'm thinking that I'll have an early night tonight 'cos I'm already totally cream-crackered even though I haven't done anything too exhaustapayting today, so I'm wondering if I should have a couple of squirts of the B12 to see if that helps.
➰➰➰
Decided against the B12... gonna take my last pills of the day and head to bed for a really early night, in the hopes that I wake up feeling better tomorrow morning.
BRB.
OK, they're taken and I'll be off to bed as soon as I start yawning 👍
➰➰➰
Righty-oh... Steve's asleep so I'm heading to bed. Nite nite orl❗

Mornin' again all.
What have you all been thinking to the text colours I've been using over the last week or so❔ Which has been your favourite colour that I've used❔ Which one should I use as a change from the black❔ Lemme know in the comments pretty please❔ TIA❕
Gonna take the puppy for her stroll when it lightens up a bit out there.
➰➰➰
That's the puppy walked and fed. The first third of the walk, the rain held off, but literally within seconds of us hitting a third of the stroll and it started peeing it down so we're both soggy now 🤣 That's it until lunchtime now though, so I'll download the Fitbit spreadsheet and put it on my homepage then take my first pills of the week.
➰➰➰
That's the pills taken. They all went down really easily this morning, so I'm off to a good start to the day... I'm hoping that means that today will be a good day.
➰➰➰
Steve's gone out to heat up today's zoop and I've been reminded about taking the Calcium, so that's done and dusted and I've just got 2 more pills left to take this evening now.
➰➰➰
The puppy has been walked and fed again... I've hopefully worked out how to get the afternoon strolls to appear in the Fitbit app now - I just need to walk slower is all - same number of lengths, just slower steps 'cos each length currently takes about 1 minute and 10 seconds, so I'd need to do 9 lengths instead of the current 5 on Tuesday to Sunday for it to be recorded as being active minutes. Gonna try and remember to try that this week... you watch me forget though 🤣
I've got me zoop now and added it into the Fitbit app - apparently it's only 195 calories and pure vegetables, liquidised then heated through so it's another healthy meal without rice or pasta for a change - 3 pure vegetable meals in 2 days, which is awesome❕ Doesn't happen often so I make full use of it when it happens❕
➰➰➰
Been catching up on my emails all afternoon and have semi decided to invest in a second Fitbit (the Fitbit Charge 3) so that I can wear that on my wrist as a watch and my current Fitbit Inspire still around my ankle to see if my theory of people getting in the range of 8k-15k steps a day are wearing it around their wrist so it counts each wrist movement as a step even if they are sat still in a chair. I've got no doubt that some people, who have active jobs or who are on their feet all day achieve that if they wear it on their ankle, like me... but office workers who spend the majority of their time sat down in front of a computer definitely don't, unless they go for a run/walk for 6 miles every day definitely don't❕❕
The shopping has already been and gone... came a single minute into the time slot and apparently he took the boxes into the kitchen too, which was even better❕
I've fed the puppy and taken my pills, so hopefully it'll be another early night tonight, 🤞 fingers crossed.
➰➰➰
The pills are just starting to kick in, so I'm off to 🛌 bed for an early night. Nite nite orl❕ 💤

Sunday 16th February 2020
Mornin' all.
The night light thing worked last night, but it hasn't brightened up again yet 😞. It worked for me falling asleep though... fell asleep half an hour earlier than usual and woke up feeling more refreshed too, so maybe it really was the screen brightness that stopped me from falling asleep until gone 🕙 10pm❔
Gonna take the puppy out for her stroll now... BBS❕
➰➰➰
OK, we're back and dripping wet 'cos it started raining ⅔ of the way through, but that's it until this afternoon now.
Steve said about putting the rubbish and recycling out later on again 'cos of the weather, which is fine by me.
Time to catch up on my emails now, while I'm waiting for the photo's of the puppy to upload to my site.
➰➰➰
That's the rubbish and recycling sorted for another week now - the jars have even gone out this week so it's all gone out except the waste food caddy and our third recycling box this week.
It's burgers, chips and veggies for lunch today 🤤 Steve's gonna have buns with his burgers and "maybe a few chips" whereas I'm having the burger patties, chips and veggies... I'm thinking it'll be sweetcorn for the veggies 'cos that's at the top of the freezer but it's a big bag and there might be some open bags of veggies we can have instead but anything suitable for semi-vegans is fine by me❕
➰➰➰
A huge lunch today and Steve's already asleep and there's even a box of leftovers for me tea too. It was even a nice, healthy lunch with lots of veggies for me... the vegetable patties obviously had vegetables in them, the chips were oven cooked instead of fried and half a plateful piled full of mixed veggies too. A grand total of only 694 calories so far today, which is awesome and there are leftovers for me tea too and there's even more room in the freezer now too, which is great going... hopefully it'll be completely empty by the start of March, fingers crossed 🤞.
➰➰➰
That's the Calcium taken and the pill organiser refilled ready for next week now, so I can just relax until bedtime now 👍
➰➰➰
Time for me last 2 pills of the day now... hold on❕
OK, they're both down the hatch now, so I'll head to bed as soon as I start yawning again.
➰➰➰
Just started yawning and it's not even 7.45pm yet, so I'm gonna publish this then shut down for the night. Be back tomorrow so I'll see you all then.
Nite nite orl❕ 💤

Saturday 15th February 2020
Taken all me morning pills and taken the puppy out for her stroll, so I'm all set until lunchtime now. As you can see, todays text colour is brown which is, apparently, Bloggers dark yellow❕
Almost fell over Steve's internet wire this morning, but he doesn't seem to care. I'll need to get another rug as soon as I can afford it... I'll be at least £25 overdrawn this week though, so Steve's internet speed is obviously more important than my safety. Again.
➰➰➰
Charging up me Fitbit now and apparently I was asleep for 9 hours and 56 minutes last night, so why am I wiped out❔
➰➰➰
Taken my Calcium and lunch is almost ready, so I'm gonna put my laptop on the floor in preparation now.
BBS❕
➰➰➰
That was a really yummy, if slightly too spicy lunch... vegetable chilli - yumsk❕
➰➰➰
Gonna take me last two pills of the day now, half an hour early, but I'm absolutely wiped out❕
➰➰➰
I've just turned on the night light thingy on my laptop and dimmed the light in the living room too in the hope I'll fall asleep quicker when I go to bed tonight. I'm giving it a week for my body to get used to it and then decide next weekend if I want to keep doing it like that or if I want to go back to full brightness the whole time my machine's on. It's gonna be weird tomorrow if I'm down here before 7am 'cos there's no way I'll remember what I've done and I'll think that the power lead is unplugged or something❕ 🤣
➰➰➰
The night light thing is already working 'cos less than an hour later and I'm ready for bed. As always, I'll be back tomorrow could someone (or better yet, several someone's) leave me a comment in reply to this post to remind me that I've turned the night light dooberry on pretty please❔ Thank you so much in advance.
Heading to bed 🛌 now... nite nite orl 😴💤

Mornin' all.
Purple text today methinks.
Now that Steve's opened his Valentine's gift from me, I can tell you all what it is❕ It's a cushion of the puppy's head so it's totally unique to both of us and there isn't another one like it anywhere in the world❕
I've taken me pills and walked and fed the puppy dog and we're having a quick and easy lunch today - tinned vegetable ravioli... yummy.
The poo was hiding from me yesterday, when the council asked me to take a photo of it, but it's visible now so I've taken a photo of it and emailed it to the council now. I can relax now, until lunchtime when I take the Calcium.
Took advantage of a free course with the New Skills Academy this morning - I'm not gonna pass up anything free❕
➰➰➰
That's the puppy's second stroll sorted now... fed her too, and she's on the back of the sofa, pushing me off❕ That's the thanks I get for looking after her❕ Maybe she's paying me back for taking so many photo's of her laying down in front of Steve's chair❔ Cheeky cow that I can't be without any more❕
➰➰➰
Just had 4 Valentine's cards and 3 gifts through the post...
...from my Dogs Trust sponsor dogs 🐾 of course❕ 🤣💕
➰➰➰
That's the Calcium taken and 8 photo's uploaded to my homepage now.
As a change from the menu, apparently we'll be having chilli and rice tomorrow 'cos Steve "don't know if we've got any sauce left" and we are at our spending limit for the groceries for the next two weeks and we haven't got any meatless pieces left either, so curry is out too. 😞
➰➰➰
My pills are kicking in now so I'm gonna head to bed. Nite nite orl... sea ewe in the morning❕

Thursday 13th February 2020
Morning all.
Haven't had any comments about which colour to use for the text, so what colour do you reckon I should use today? Orange? Red? Yellow? Fuchsia? Yeah, Fuchsia today... mind you that isn't so much different from black, so should I go with this or black or red? I'll stick with this for now, but might change it later on.
I've taken all my morning and lunchtime pills, so I've only got the AP's to take tonight now. Having my first dose of caffeine this week too and apparently I need to add more to the shopping 'cos there's only a scoop and a half left, so I'll do that now. Gotta take the puppy for her first stroll of the day too... gonna finish off my coffee first though 'cos the puppy is still sleepy, bless 'er. Steve's just said it's raining outside too, so I'll take her out when the rain has hopefully eased off a bit.
➰➰➰
Walked and fed the puppy dog now, and I'm pondering on, when I can afford it, getting a camcorder that I can put around my head to prove that I pick up the puppy's poo, that I take her for two strolls a day and also that I've got proof of exactly were I walk her so that the council and/or the police can use it as evidence if they need to. Might even upload each video to You Tube so that you can join us both on her strolls as well as while she's in the house 🤣. It'll have to be a cheap camcorder so possibly poor quality video's, but it's better than what I've got now.
➰➰➰
OK, so found a cheap and cheerful camera for just under £20 that seems to do everything I want as well as coming with straps to hopefully go round my neck, alongside the counter and apparently the battery lasts for an hour and a half, so as long as I turn it off between walks, I would only need to charge it up once on a Monday and still hopefully have enough charge left for one more walk on Tuesday, then charge it up again and it'll keep me going for most of the rest of the week before I need to charge it up again.
Assuming the quality is good enough I'll be able to video the cat poo's to send to the council as well as being able to have evidence for the police about picking up her poo and exactly where I walk her as well as what is said if needs be. They can't argue with an unedited video recording after all❕
Just need to save up for it now - shouldn't take too long... it won't be in February 'cos I can barely afford the bills and shopping for the rest of the month as it is, but as soon as I can afford it I'll definitely buy it❕
➰➰➰
Found a picture on my Facebook wall with an acronym of depression so I'll put it on the depression page of my site and add it here too:
➰➰➰
Just taken the puppy for her second stroll of the day and our lunch is almost ready, so I'm gonna put my laptop on the floor and go for yet another wee (my 10th in about 3½ hours - yes, I have been counting) then bring my lunch in, eat it and fall asleep 🤣
➰➰➰
Cor lummy, we're both bloated now... spag bol with proper spag instead of our normal pasta shells or twirls or whatever. Steve said about putting the two packets of spaghetti into a jar and then that'd make three more sensible sized meals instead of two with quite a bit left over/wasted. We've got a spaghetti jar in the kitchen, we just haven't used it for well over a decade so will need to be soaked and deep cleaned before we use it the first time, just to be sure we aren't accidentally poisoning ourselves or whatever.
I've put more "posh coffee" in the basket for a couple of weeks time so my caffeine fix for the next little while will be PG Tips tea... need to remember to eat something before I have it though, or it'll go straight through me again, like the coffee this morning 🤣
➰➰➰
Steve's just sent me a link to a large pod of wild dolphins 🐬 showing off alongside a boat that you can see here. My heart is totally melting and I've got a smile plastered to my face now.
➰➰➰
That's me last two pills of the day taken and I want another early night, so I'm gonna shut down soon
➰➰➰
Just done some online surveys and the AP's are kicking in now, so I'm off to bed now.

Wednesday 12th February 2020
Mornin' again all
How are you liking me changing the colours of the text in this and the last couple of blog posts❔ Which is your most preferred one so far❔ Do you prefer dark text like this and Monday or light text like I used yesterday❔
The virus scan has started and I opened up my two email programmes so it's gonna take forever to finish today, but that's OK, 'cos I've got a medical appointment at lunchtime so hopefully it'll be finished by the time I get back from that then I can do the backups.
Taken my first pills of the day - they were a nightmare to get down again this morning 😞 They are swallowed now though, so that's it until I get back from the medical appointment.
Still missing the puppy dog, but it's in her best interests for her health and it's only a couple of days a week, we have her the majority of the week so that's all we want.
Steve's just said about getting a bird table for the back yard now that it's clear... sounds like a good idea to me, as long as it isn't too tall for me to reach in and replace the seeds❕ Can't see Steve doing it and it'd have to be up against the wall so that the puppy didn't knock it over too... might as well make use of our back yard now that it's totally clear❕
➰➰➰
Just got back from the nurse and my blood pressure is fine and dandy, the blood was taken and they are gonna let me know if anything else needs to happen and I've lost 5kg (10lbs) since October, which is awesome and means that I only need to lose another 3kg to get to my ideal weight now, which is fantastic❕ It's taken the best part of 17 years (not a typo) but I'm within touching distance now... I reckon that calls for a celebration❕
➰➰➰
*ahem*
THE PUPPY'S HOME AGAIN❕❕❕❕
Gonna have me soup then take her out for her walk... she's only missed one walk this week (this morning) which is three better than last week and she's only been out of the house for about 18 hours this week instead of two days that she's normally with Helen. She's already asleep under Steve's leg, bless 'er.
➰➰➰
Got a couple of photo's of her now, so I'll put those up, finish the soup and then take her out for her fifth walk of the week. Assuming she's home for the rest of the week, like normal, she'll have 13 walks instead of her normal 10 and I'll have 6 or possibly 7 days of exercise in the Fitbit app too, depending on if this afternoon's walk lasts 10 minutes or not... if it does, it'll be 7 days of exercise and however many active minutes, otherwise it'll be 6 days exercise and active minutes.
Just gotta wait for the backups to finish then I'll put it away and that'll be it then, I can take the puppy out for her stroll. It's currently at 99% so it should be finished any minute now.
➰➰➰
Backups have finished and I've walked the puppy. Half the distance of yesterday's which is double our afternoon walk or ⅔ of the morning walk, so it's pretty much on target considering she's only here for half of today. It's not showing up in the Fitbit app yet, so I'm gonna reboot my laptop and hope it'll be there then. No great shakes if it's not though 😃
BBS❕
➰➰➰
Didn't need to reboot after all, just needed to shut down the app for a couple of minutes 'cos it's showing 11 active minutes for the puppy's walk and 3 days of exercise, so it'll be 7 days exercise and recorded minutes this week, which is awesome, and I know now that I need to walk the puppy 10 lengths for it to start showing up, so it's obviously a length a minute which is cool and groovy and I understand why it doesn't show up afternoon strolls now 'cos we only do 5 lengths on Tuesday to Sunday. That's OK though, as long as it records our morning strolls then that's all I want 'cos the afternoon strolls are just an added bonus.
Gonna sort out the photo's now, before I forget.
➰➰➰
OK, the photo's are up and I've just taken a survey... the puppy is asleep under Steve's leg again, bless 'er.
➰➰➰
Taken and uploaded an extra 5 photo's and my evening pills are kicking in so I'm off to bed now. Nite nite orl 💤
➰➰➰
How are you liking me changing the colours of the text in this and the last couple of blog posts❔ Which is your most preferred one so far❔ Do you prefer dark text like this and Monday or light text like I used yesterday❔
The virus scan has started and I opened up my two email programmes so it's gonna take forever to finish today, but that's OK, 'cos I've got a medical appointment at lunchtime so hopefully it'll be finished by the time I get back from that then I can do the backups.

Tuesday 11th February 2020
Mornin' all.
I'm thinking today will be a green day for the text in here, just to jazz things up again.
I've already taken the puppy out for her morning stroll and fed her, as well as taking all me day pills, so that's me sorted until this evening now.
Gotta have a bath in preparation for tomorrow and prolly get the door to Steve's prescription as well as getting the puppy ready for going back with Helen today. Busy day❕
Got some photo's to put on my homepage, so I'm gonna do that before I forget... BBS❕
➰➰➰
Steve's just heard from Helen... she's picking up our senior little puppy after work tonight so there is plenty of time for me to have a bath before she comes and Steve's prescription will hopefully be delivered well before then too. Gonna keep resizing the photo's now and get that and the Fitbit screenshot thingamejig up on my site before we have our lunch.
➰➰➰
Steve's pills have just been delivered, so all that's left to do now is having a bath, taking the puppy for her second stroll and having our lunch. Steve reckons that I should have our lunch, take the puppy out then have me bath, so that's what I'm gonna do.
➰➰➰
Just taken the puppy out for her second stroll and she poo'd so I picked it up and brought it home... it's what is legally required so I always have and always will❕ Steve gave the puppy her lunch and ours is in the oven, so I'll have my bath after we've eaten and then wait for the puppy to go back with Helen for her medicated bath again.
➰➰➰
Yummy scrummy in my tummy. Just had lunch of jacket tatties, cheese and beans and I'm now "in the zone" with calories (according to my Fitbit) and nicely full without being bloated. Gonna wait for my lunch to "go down" before I have my bath, then wait for the puppy to go then have an early night, ready for tomorrow.
➰➰➰
I've just got out of the bath so I'm all clean now. I worked out that I need to put the water heater on for at least an hour before I have a bath so that I've got a big supply of hot water refils instead of only half filling with hot water once before the hot water is used up... even then it's barely warm❕ I put the water heater on just before I got undressed and I just about managed one refill with the hot water in the tank.
Time to catch up on my emails and Facebook posts since I've been in the bath now.
➰➰➰
That's the puppy fed, watered and prescription taken now, so we're just waiting for Helen to turn up and take her away again 😢 I know I should be used to it by now, after so many months, but it still 💔 breaks my heart 💔 every week, even though she's only gone for a couple of days now.
Got a couple of short video's of the sleepy puppy to keep me going though, as well as all the photo's from yesterday and this morning, so I'll look at them when I'm missing her terribly until she's home again.
BRB - just coding the video's and uploading the updated index page... hold on❕
➰➰➰
That's the first one coded and ready to be uploaded, just waiting for the second video to finish uploading to YouTube now.
➰➰➰
Both up on my site now and both prescriptions taken, so just waiting for the puppy to break my heart then I can go to bed.
➰➰➰
The puppy's just gone❕ 😢 My 💔 heart is breaking❕ She'll "be back in a day or two" but it's already too long❕

I'm off to beddy-byes now but I'll be back tomorrow. Nite nite orl. 💤

Morning again all.
The Fitbit says that I was asleep for 8 hours and 48 minutes, which is 3½ hours less than yesterday but I'm feeling a lot more awake and ready for the day than I was yesterday for some reason.
It's nice and light out there, so I'm gonna take the puppy for her stroll now, then take me morning pills then sort out the Fitbit spreadsheet to put on my homepage.
BBS❕
➰➰➰
OK, we're back now and the puppy has been fed and watered so it's time for me morning pills then I'll sort out the Fitbit spreadsheet.
➰➰➰
Pills taken now... all of 'em went down really easily this morning, thankfully, so that's it now until lunchtime. Time to password protect the spreadsheet, code and upload it to my site now.
➰➰➰
The Fitbit page is sorted and I've added 5 photo's to my index page too. You can see the ugly me in all five of 'em. Wanna try and remember to smile in future photo's and not put myself down as much too. I'm not pretty but I'm not ugly either, so I need to reprogramme what I've always been told since childhood.
➰➰➰
Another 10 photo's added after our second stroll of the day... we are both wet and soggy but Steve's put the heater on to dry us both off.
➰➰➰
That's my last two pills of the day taken now and the groceries had been and gone by 6.05pm too❕ Just gotta finish off my mug of tea then I can have a wonderful early night again.
Steve said he hadn't heard from Helen by the time Marie came to the door to help him put the groceries away so he's thinking that she won't be coming tonight for Mitzi, which is totally cool and groovy, I'll just keep her harness on when we get back from her morning walk tomorrow. Steve's prescriptions are being delivered tomorrow and I've gotta have a bath ready for my own medical appointment on Wednesday so it's gonna be all go tomorrow❕
➰➰➰
I'm off to beddy-byes now... adding those last few photo's was worth the exhaustion and I'm hoping to be asleep by 🕣 8.30pm... keep yer fingers crossed 🤞 for it to happen.
What do you think to the blue text I've been using today... is it easier or harder to read than the black❔ Lemme know in the comments❔ Please❔
See you all in the morning... nite nite orl❕

Sunday 9th February 2020
Mornin' all.
It blew a gale out there overnight, but I slept right through it❗ 🤣
Took the puppy out for her stroll and it was still really windy out there, so we didn't do any extra extra's today, just our normal length walk. When we got home, I fed her then took me six pills and refilled the box ready for next week. Missed two Calcium pills last week which ain't so bad... certainly better than before I got the box and a lot safer so that I don't accidentally double dose on any of the pills.
Burgers, chips and veggies for lunch today and apparently there isn't much left in the big freezer, so it's just the little freezer and cupboards to empty out now... so proud of us for holding off on getting new freezer stuff for the last couple of weeks so that we could totally empty it... just gotta do that with the little freezer and cupboards now. Apparently all we've got left in the little freezer is "green and orange zoop" that Steve's mum made for us, so that's the little freezer sorted too, just the cupboards left to sort out now then that's it.
We've improved sooo much over the last 6-ish months and it's done us both the world of good too. Thank you for cooking for us every day, Steve... I really appreciate it, and so does my bank balance❗ 🤣
➰➰➰
That's our lunch eaten... Steve had burgers and I had chips. We've taken the rubbish and recycling out and the puppy's been for both her walks, so we can relax for the rest of the day now. Steve's tweaking tomorrow's shopping then that's it for the day. Patrick is getting his batteries charged up ready for Wednesday and my legs are kinda going "don't move for the rest of the day now" so I'm gonna keep my bum on the sofa other than going for wee's when my bladder tells me to.
Had 10 hours of sleep last night, according to the Fitbit but I'm more exhausted than when I get 7 or 8 hours for some bizarre reason❗
➰➰➰
Taken a couple of surveys this afternoon. Can't remember what either of them were about now though 🤣
Patrick's batteries are charged up already, so I can take him down to the doc on Wednesday if I need to, if Marie doesn't come to pick me up or whatever. Steve's making us a hot drink and I'm hoping for another early night tonight, in preparation for our Marathon Monday walk tomorrow.
➰➰➰
I've had enough of the day, so I'm off to bed now.
Nite nite orl❗

Mornin' again all.
I took the puppy out for an early stroll this morning then came back and fed her then she fell asleep. I'm wondering if she's got a bit of hearing loss 'cos she doesn't always seem to hear me when I ask her to "sit" and "wait" for her breakfast, but knew the hand signal I gave her for her breakfast straight away, even though I didn't say a word... is that hearing loss or Westitude❓
➰➰➰
That's the shopping sorted and I've taken a few photo's of the puppy dog that haven't been sent from my phone yet for some reason. As soon as they are sent I'll get them on my site.
➰➰➰
OK, they're sent. Need to turn off my phone then turn it back on if it happens again... you watch me forget though❗ 🤣
➰➰➰
Spaghetti and meatless balls for lunch today. Yummier than I remembered and 66% of us are fast asleep right now 🤣 I've taken the puppy for both her walks and she's had two of her three meals so we're all sorted until bedtime now.
Absolutely exhaustapayted now so I'm hoping I'll be able to have an early night tonight.
➰➰➰
Tofu, right... how do you prepare it and what do you eat with it please❓
Steve says it absorbs the flavour of whatever it's cooked with, but do you need to cook it in the sauce (or whatever) right from the start or do you need to cook it separately, then add it to the sauce for the last few minutes please❓ Other than in curries and with pasta and sauce, what else do you eat it with please❓
Now that we are eating mainly home-cooked meals instead of take-aways every day, I wanna see what else is available for semi-vegans that Steve would enjoy too. We use Quorn stuff in most meals, I just wanna try new things... especially now that we've apparently got through most of our big freezer 🤣
I've spotted a couple of vegan steaks at Sainsbury's that I fancy trying at some point but "a bit too vegetarian for me... I'd need proper meaty steaks when you have those, sorry". That's fine by me... maybe we could have them instead of the Quorn Roast on a Sunday, just for a change? If they don't taste too bloody or meaty then we could maybe have those every other month or whatever, just as a bit of a change❓
Steve's definitely getting into the home-cooked meals again now, which is awesome... I definitely prefer home-cooked food to take-aways and they are doing wonders for our weight loss too... we've both dropped a clothes size since Steve's been cooking for us now that we aren't having at least one take-away a day and it's a lot cheaper too... we're getting a week's worth of food, drinks, cakes and biscuits every week, for less than just two take-aways used to cost us. We still have take-aways, but they are treats now, rather than staple meals for us.
So proud of you and really appreciate you cooking for us each day, Steve❗ 😍Love you soooo much❗
➰➰➰
More photo's and a shortish video of the puppy dog to resize, code and upload this afternoon... bear with me while I sort them out.
➰➰➰
OK, they are all up and I've fed the puppy, so that's it until bedtime now. Definitely want an early night tonight - I'm absolutely wiped out❗
➰➰➰
Just taken me last two pills of the day so I'm gonna head to bed now for a really early night.
Nite nite orl. Sea ewe in the morning again.

Friday 7th February 2020
Mornin' all.
I've taken the puppy out for her stroll and had my breakfast (an apple turnover), so the rest of the day is mine now. Already taken some photo's of the puppy and she's fast asleep on the sofa next to me now, bless 'er.
Steve's making us a mug of "posh" (cafetierre) coffee to wake us both up and it means that I've had my two caffeine drinks this week, but that's OK... cutting out the majority of caffeine hasn't made much of a difference to my OAB unfortunately.
➰➰➰
That's the last of my prescriptions just arrived, so I'm not waiting for anything else until this time next month now.
➰➰➰
Updated my homepage with loads of photo's of the puppy dog this morning and my Fitbit is charged up and I've been for several wee's from the posh coffee already, so I'm thinking I'll need lots more wee's today 🤣
➰➰➰
That's me morning pills taken... several hours later than normal, but they're down the hatch now. Missed 2 Calcium pills this week so really shouldn't miss any more... can't take today's Calcium until mid-afternoon cos I took the prescription it interacts with a couple of hours later than normal, so need to take the Calcium later too. Would never have known that if it hadn't been for the pill box container thing that I put them all in every Sunday.
➰➰➰
Simple but yummy lunch today - meat-free sausage rolls and chips... yummy. Tomorrow's lunch is s'getti and meatless meatballs then Sunday is burgers, chips and veg 🤤
➰➰➰
That's my last two pills of the day taken, so I can concentrate on putting graphic stars instead of html stars on all my reviews now❗
➰➰➰
Just started yawning, so gonna charge my mobile up a tiny bit then head to bed. Nite nite orl❗

Mornin' all.
Apparently Helen texted Steve last night with the results of Mitzi's vet visit and it's good news... the vet is happy with her weight and blood results so we just need to keep on keeping on for the forseeable future now... same amount of food, same dosage of meds and still the same medicated baths which is awesome 👍 Because of the meds she's on, there will still be vet visits to keep an eye on her levels, but they won't be every month or six weeks or whatever - months instead of weeks now which my bank balance will approve of 🤣
We're getting our hair's cut today and by the time we get home, we'll have spent double the amount of time with Steve's family in 11 days as we have with my mum in over a decade and it'll be the same again next week - in 18 days we will have seen Steve's family triple the amount of times in under a month than I've seen my mum in over a decade, but Steve doesn't see anything wrong with that 😡😠
Time to read and review the book now, before we go and see Steve's family.
➰➰➰
Gonna shut down ready for getting our hair's cut now... buh-bye for now and I'll be back in a few hours!
➰➰➰
Back now and we have, officially spent double the amount of time with Steve's family in 11 days as we have with my mum in a decade and it'll be the same again next week too... so much for going over to see my mum regularly eh❓
The puppy's coming home at some point this afternoon though... yaaaaaay❗
➰➰➰
Having a Burger King meal for our "make do" lunch but it's not twice a day any more though and most of our meals are cooked at home now, so the occasional take-away ain't so bad.
➰➰➰
The puppy's hooooome❗ Yaaaaaaay❗❗❗ Need to phone the vet and pay for her blood test and food while I think of it... hold on...
➰➰➰
Oooh ouch❗ Just paid Mitzi's vet bill which set me back the best part of £100 so it's a good job I'm getting paid on Monday and I had the money in my account to cover it... I'll be left with less than £1 in the bank after tomorrow's bill payment has come out❗ 😟
➰➰➰
Absolutely exhausted and I haven't got anything to get up early for in the morning, so I'll get up when I get up... bet I'll still be down here before 8am though❗ 🤣
Nite nite orl. Sea ewe in the morning.

Book Review: "The Poop Diaries" by Abby Ross
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ out of 5
First thought, just by the title of this book, don't read it around the time you eat... I've had soup for lunch 2 hours ago so hopefully I'll be OK, bear it in mind though 😉
About half way through the second chapter so far, and nothing has made me want to lose my lunch yet... it's gross in parts, but not too bad. Easy to read while you're waiting for your tea to cook or in bed at night or whatever.
Oh boy, after a gentle start, the grossness has started on page 78!
Yep, the grossness hasn't eased off yet so make sure you've got a strong stomach before you read this... it's a good book, just very very gross in parts - take heed of the title 'cos there are a lot of detailed descriptions on that type of plumbing!
Keep reading through the gross bits in the middle 'cos it ends as innocently (is that the right word❓❓) as it starts... the grossest bits are definitely in the middle but you can safely read the first and last few chapters without losing your lunch.
Such an interesting, humourous and at times maddening on the plumbers behalf because of the way their clients treated them, but well worth a read!
Thank you for opening my eyes to the plumbers difficulties out there, Abby Ross... I hope everyone who comes into contact with tradespeople after reading this book treat them with more respect and gratitude than some of the plumbers you interviewed in this book!

Mornin' all.
Just taken me morning set of pills. They all went down pretty easily this morning... still missing the puppy though. The virus scan has started and I'm gonna have a shower when Steve gets back from his medical appointment.
Gonna browse Facebook all morning until Steve gets back, have me shower, then do the backups.
➰➰➰
Steve's back now and he's made me a mug of tea (thank you Steve❗) so I'll finish that off then head off for the shower... or should I wait until after lunch❓❓
My prescription turned up while Steve was out but it was only one of 'em instead of two, so I'll give it until Friday then phone the pharmacy to find out what's going on. I had the med review and the surgery pharmacist was happy with me continuing with all of them so hopefully there's just been a delay with getting it in is all or something.
➰➰➰
Jumping in the shower and washing my hair, so that it has a chance to dry before I head to bed, then time for my lunch (cuppazoop) and backups... TTFN❗
➰➰➰
Out of the shower now and the virus scan has finished (still virus free... yaaay❗) so time to do the backups now. Keep your fingers crossed 🤞 that it goes well this week❗ Please❓
➰➰➰
That went amazingly easily and worked first time too, which is awesome❗ Time to check my emails until bedtime now.
➰➰➰
System restore point created, so I'll just mooch around until the washing has finished so that I can put my Alice band back in my hair (it's being washed atm)... hope it doesn't take too long❗
➰➰➰
Evening pills taken... think I forgot the Calcium today though. Too late to worry about it now though!
➰➰➰
I'm off to beddy-byes now. Getting our hairs cut tomorrow so not sure how long tomorrow's blog post will be... that's it for today though, nitey nite nite orl❗

Morning all.
Just taken all me pills, so it's time to walk the puppy dog now. Caught up on my sleep last night, thankfully... 9 hours of sleep and I feel a lot better for it too.
Gonna take the puppy for her first stroll of the day now. BBS❗
➰➰➰
Back now. She walked me an extra length today and she's fast asleep in her bed now. Steve's gonna go out and do our lunch now... jacket tatties, cheese and beans for me and tuna and sweetcorn sandwich filler for Steve's tatties, just to see what it's like. Apparently we're both having cheese and I'm having an entire can of beans to myself... I hope the potato can swim❗ 🤣
Gonna take the puppy out for her second stroll of the day now.
➰➰➰
We're back, the lengths are in the spreadsheet, the puppy's had her lunch and been for a poo so that's it now until the lunch is cooked.
➰➰➰
That was a huge and yummy lunch for both of us today❗ Gonna be an early night for both of us again... I give Steve under half an hour before he falls asleep 🤣
➰➰➰
19 minutes later and he's, as predicted, fast asleep and snoring his head off❗ 🤣
➰➰➰
The puppy's gone and I'm off to bed... no reason to get up early in the morning, so I'll see you when I see you❗
Nite nite orl.

Monday 3rd February 2020
Mornin' all.
Was awake and down here before 3am today. At least I've done some research into going to see my mum by train though... it's expensive at £75 return and involves a change at Didcot Parkway which is gonna send my anxiety through the roof, but my mum is worth it and I refuse to not see her any more. We'll have to stay at the railway station which is far from ideal, but she's worth it and it's more affordable to get the train over every few months than saving up for a car, paying tax and insurance and petrol and all that other jazz. 2020 will be the year that I see her again.
Currently charging up my Fitbit so that it keeps working for the rest of the day and I'm gonna be wiped out by the time the shopping's been and gone 'cos I got less than 6 hours sleep overnight but hey-ho, too late to worry about it now.
➰➰➰
That's the Fitbit charged up and the weekly spreadsheet added to the Fitbit page, drunk me mug of cafetierre coffee so I'm all set for the day now.
➰➰➰
Just got back from our Monday Marathon stroll and she walked me an extra length this morning, started on a second extra extra length, but there's no way I could have safely done it, so we came home instead. Not going to be able to move for the rest of the day now... even going to the bathroom and back is gonna be a struggle for the next couple of hours, at least, so it's a good job I went before putting the puppy's harness on and leaving the house to start it... even my hands are aching and struggling to move❗
That has to be it until at least lunchtime... no moving my legs until I go and get my lunch then take the puppy out for our second stroll of the day.
➰➰➰
I'm absolutely cream-crackered after such an early start this morning❗ I've already done an extra 1045 steps over my daily entire target and it's not even 10am yet❗
I'm wide awake (because of the cafetierre coffee) but dead on my feet after this mornings marathon and ache all over, so I'm not going to move off the sofa for the rest of the morning now... hope the caffeine doesn't affect my bladder too badly 'cos it's just not safe enough for me to hobble anywhere until at least my legs have recovered.
➰➰➰
That's the puppy walked for the second time, fed (both the dog and her humans) and I've taken 3 video's and 3 photo's of her that are on my homepage and added it to the Fitbit app. That's it now until the shopping's been this evening, then I'm gonna have an early night and hope that I get considerably more sleep tonight than I did last night 🤣
➰➰➰

Sunday 2nd February 2020
Mornin' all.
Taken the puppy for her stroll, fed her and taken my morning pills so I'm all set until lunchtime now. We're seeing Steve's family again today, that's three times in seven days which is the same as I've seen my family since January 2010 - hardly fair, is it?
Gonna shut down now, but I'll be back at some point today.
➰➰➰
Back now.
Ended up spending 5 hours with them which was the same amount of time that I spent with my mum in 2 of the visits in 2010 plus the other 3 hours on Monday and Wednesday is the same as I spent with my mum in January so, as predicted, Steve's spent the same amount of time with his family in 7 days as I've spent with my mum in the last decade. Not happy about that at all, and it'll be the same next week too 'cos of the shopping on Monday is an hour, his medical appointment on Wednesday will be at least two hours and we're going over to get our hairs cut on Thursday too, so that'll be at least another couple of hours, minimum. The week after that will be another hour on the Monday, medical appointments on Wednesday for both of us as well, so that's another three hours so in 17 days we'll have spent near enough triple the amount of time with Steve's family as we have with my mum in just over a decade. Hardly fair, is it❓
➰➰➰
Running the battery down on my laptop atm. Trying to catch up on everything I've missed today too lol
➰➰➰
Gonna take my last pills of the day and head to bed now. Still got an hour and 47 minutes worth of battery life left so I'll keep running it down until I head to bed then shut down I reckon.
➰➰➰
That's the last pills of the day taken, so I'm gonna catch up on Facebook now, for the first time today.
➰➰➰
Battery is down to 19% now, so gonna post this then wait until it finally dies on me.
TTY all at some point tomorrow❗
Nite nite orl❗

Saturday 1st February 2020
Mornin' all.
Pinch and a punch for the first of the month and all that jazz.
The puppy's been out for her walk, she's been fed and we've both taken our morning pills. I've already taken several photo's of her, so I'll put those up when I edit my homepage and put the January photo's on the 2020 page... lemme do that now, before I forget.
➰➰➰
OK, that's sorted now so the first page will load a lot quicker now 🤣
➰➰➰
I've put up loads of photo's of the puppy and it's not even lunchtime yet❗
➰➰➰
Got 3 long video's of the puppy dog this evening too that are currently uploading then I'll code them into my homepage.
➰➰➰
That's my prescriptions taken and two of the three video's have been uploaded, so just waiting for the last one to finish now then that's it for the day.
➰➰➰
Just taken an almost 13 minute video then that really is it then 🤣
➰➰➰
The uber-long video has just finshed uploading and I've coded it, just waiting for my FTP programme to start responding so that I can upload it now❗
➰➰➰
I'm off to beddy-byes until the morning now. Nite nite orl❗ 😴
