Steve's last day at his job and...

...it's taken until 4.15pm for anyone to contact him!

Too little, too late.

He's got 45 minutes then that's the end of his job so if they want him to do something now then tough luck!

This is me... don't laugh too hard!


Mitzi's new muzzle was dispatched this morning

It's coming by second class Royal Mail so hopefully it'll be here on Saturday so that we can get her used to it before she meets our nephew for the first time.

Going by how she was with the toddler a little while ago, I've got no reason to think she'll be anything but great with H, but we don't want to risk it just in case!

Tomorrow I'm going to try...

...doing a vlog entry instead of my usual text entries.

Got no idea if it will work or not, but I want to at least give it a try!  I like being able to put a voice and face to a name, so I'm going to give that a try tomorrow.

Wish me luck!

If you've got any tips for me can you leave me a comment in reply to this post please?

Thank you!

Just got back and Vision Express...

...are definitely the most thorough optitian I've ever been to!

They test the pressure in your eye, take photo's of the back of your eye and test your periferal vision too!

Not only that, but because I get one particular benefit, the eye tests are free for me!

If you are in the UK and want to get your sight tested while on benefits, I definitely recommend Vision Express!

Going to get my eyes tested again today

I just hope that I don't shoot back when they do the pressure test after I've had the test is all!  lol

That was a wasted journey then!

Apparently my previous laptop didn't have a Windows key so he couldn't do anything with it.

So, I've got to unscrew the bottom, take the hard drive out and run a magnet over it.  That saves me £123 but I've still got no idea how to dispose of it when I've done that!

I might just put it on Freegle or ebay or whatever for spares or repair.  *sigh*

Hopefully...

I've just bought meself a mini dictaphone that I'm hoping will fit into the small bag attached to the quadcane so that I've always got something handy whenever I get an idea for a book or whatever!

It'll be here tomorrow so I just hope it fits now!  lol

A diet suitable for everyone... It's worked for me!

I came out of hospital in 2003 a size 28.

As of this morning I'm now half that size.

If you've got weight to loose and you're prepared for a long journey to weight loss and keeping it off, try this:

There's no restrictions about what you eat or when you eat it and the only exercise is walking about 60 yards a day more than you do right now.

The tricks to this diet is to drink a glass of water whenever you feel hungry in case your brain is confusing thirst with hunger.

The second trick is to only eat until you feel full then stop 'cos it takes about 15 minutes for your brain to realise it's full and send out the signal to stop eating.

Feel free to have a couple of bloated sessions a year if you want to... mine is at Christmas with the in-laws!

That's all there is to it... no sins, no forbidden food and very little exercise.

Don't weigh yourself as you do it, go by clothes sizes alone and don't try to rush it because this is a life-long journey.

If you need a reason to walk those extra yards, volunteer to walk a small dog for someone every day.

That really is all there is to it.  No secrets, no plans, no shame, no weigh-ins... I don't even call it a diet and never have!  Just be prepared for the weight to take years to come off instead of a few months is all.

To make up for today, tomorrow will have to be...

...another huge writing day with at least 4 chapters written again!
