Freecycle – I love it!!

This weekend has been all about Freecycling.
My house needed a seriously good clearout and some things were just too good to throw in the bin, so I decided to offer them on Freecycle to see if I had any interest. So far most of my bits and bobs are gone! Whooppeee!
Hubs is glad to see the back of my “clutter” as he calls it, so that he can get on with redecorating my kitchen/dining room. He’d better watch or he’ll be next :0)

I seriously recommend this to anyone who wants to clear out things in their home. It gives you a really nice feeling, you’ve done your bit for the environment and helped someone else out in the bargain.

My weight loss is also continuing at a steady rate, another pound off this week, though I fear I might have put it back on after my big plate of chicken curry for tea tonight!!!

Another frosty day

Another frosty morning here. It made me very reluctant to crawl out of my nice warm bed!
Not much planned for the weekend aside from hubs doing DIY in the kitchen. This of course means that when I have to cook later, it will be a major clean up before I can do anything. Bang also goes my plan for doing some batch baking this weekend for lunch bento’s this week
*sigh* It will all be worth it in the end when my kitchen is all nicely decorated, but while it’s going on I hate the mess, dust and clean up involved!

On the other hand it does give me an excuse to sit here and peruse the wonderful world wide web for inspiration and ideas I suppose. Mmm, time to go and make a cuppa I think :0)

Envy

The one item I’d really like to get my hands on……….is this fantastic Lock & Lock lunch set:

I have lunch box envy, I really really would like to get one. Can I get one in the UK? Nope, nada, not possible.

*sigh*

I guess I’ll just have to keep looking and dreaming won’t I?

In the meantime I will just keep packing my lunch in the bento box I already have, now don’t get me wrong, I love it. But this one I just thought ” I have to have it!”

If anyone spots one of these available to buy in the UK, give me a nudge will you please??

My Kick Start

OOOps!! My humble apologies

December was so busy for me I didn’t have time to blog at all. Now work has settled down again to a more manageable level, I hope to start posting again. Eldest also was spreading the love and a nasty dose of the cold, so we all felt miserable in this house over Christmas.

I’m having to kick start a diet this year. I gained 5lbs over the holidays and I’m not in shape at all. I thinks Hubs was giving me a hint as he bought me a Wii and Wii Fit for Christmas.

I will be on tonight to do a body check and I will see if I have managed to shift any of the weight. using the Wii fit along with the Bento Challenge over on Just Bento should help me kick those pounds!

Wish me luck!
