Good/Bad

On the plus side, I actually have my Puretones single now, so I don't have to feel bad about the downloaded MP3 on my machine. On the minus side, my ears feel like they're blocked with something (or at least one does. I *think* the other one is OK but it's hard to be sure). This doesn't seem to be impairing my hearing particularly but it's really really bugging me.

Alex is sorting out the man from Sky for me - he knows what's wrong, which is good but unfortunately the problem is that now the neighbours tree is in blossom and leaf it's cutting off the satellite signal which means he'll have to put the dish up on a raised pole so it's above the tree-line which will cost for parts :( Boo. At least I should be able to watch the next lot of Alan Titchmarsh in peace. Bless. Alex called while I was writing this to inform me that it's all working again and he's replaced a couple of extra bits while he's up there for free so that I don't get any more problems in the future! Sky engineers are nice.

I feel surprisingly perky this morning after what was a rather disturbed night - Alex came over late so that he could be here for Mr Sky in the morning and then I had some odd dreams which now escape me (possibly reacting to the ear thing as I noticed it as soon as I got up).

In other news, we are so close to having a Caption email ready that it hurts but due to crapness on my/Alex's part we still haven't sent it! He managed to go home with it still on his laptop yesterday but he's round at my place now so he's going to leave it there on a disk. Tonight, I promise :)

Couple of new photos up on the website - a short tour of my house and of course Ian snorting sugar!

I managed to go the whole of last week without a single crisp passing my lips! In fact, I did pretty well with the whole weeks dieting. I didn't get Muller rice for breakfast or Mini Cheddars for lunch and I didn't have huge meals or desserts. When I had had enough of the Indian takeout, I got Alex to take it away for me. Maybe I have will power after all.

A slightly less auspicious beginning to this week - I was so hungry by lunchtime that I added a packet of Mini Cheddars to my sarnies. Even so, it's not like that's a huge meal so I'm still feeling pretty good. Next, I have to sort out exercise and drinking less (I have a little pot belly!)
