Aaaaand...

...relax.

It's taken about 10 hours, but I'm pretty much there now and have even got a new blog on that identity where I'll be putting my opinions and reviews of freebies and product tests and all kinds of other things.  I'll still put book reviews and things I've bought on this blog, the new one is just for freebies and product tests and stuff.

If you wanna read that blog too, the url is opinionatedamanda.blogspot.com and I've got a Facebook page where I'll be spouting all kinds of crud too, under the email address of freebies4amandauk@gmail.com

For now though, I'm gonna kick back and drain my reward.

I've realised today that...

...I rely waaaay too heavily on food and drink when I'm lonely or bored - especially chocolate.  

I've currently got a drinking chocolate as well as a 5 serving bar of chocolate on the go because I'm bored out of my tree and I have already re-read a book today so tomorrow is gonna be a nightmare while I am waiting for the cable to arrive!

I've put my laptop on the floor so that I don't use up the battery but I'm bored silly right now lol 

Virus scan finished, back-ups started, dosed up for the afternoon, sooo...

...just waiting for my Fitbit to finish charging up and the back-ups to finish too, then I can check my email for the first time today, take my last two pills of the day then head to bed.

 

Didn't have anything for lunch, just 10 chocolate biscuits for tea 😄

I've just finished doing my squats and added them to my spreadsheet for another day.  I'm pondering on stopping the planks each night 'cos I don't think they're reducing my thighs and they definitely aren't helping my belly, just making my arms ache, so maybe I should stick to the sit-ups and leg raises each night and aim to increase them pretty significantly 'cos I won't be so cream-crackered after the planks❓

Fancy getting a computer game for free, legally?

Steve's just told me about Epic Games offering games for free for a day and he said that Rollercoaster Tycoon (one of my favourite computer games, alongside Theme Hospital and The Sims) is free today, so I've just signed up for a free account and installed it.  I'm thinking I'll use it as a reward for finishing NaNo so that instead of eating my weight in chocolate, I will spend the rest of the day every day until the Sunday playing it as my reward.

 

I recommend that you create a system restore point and close down all your other computer programmes before you install the game launcher in case something goes wrong... it didn't go wrong for me, but my arrow pointer thingy worked very very slowly and it messed up the order of the icons in my task bar as well as having to reboot which was slower than normal too.  It's done and dusted now though, so I can concentrate on preparing for NaNo then use it as my completion reward instead of the chocolate.  I'm still gonna have a reward of a J2O for every 5k words I write in a single day, so that I will, in theory, be finished on or hopefully before the 10th.  It's one less thing to have to find the money for though.
