If more of us valued home above gold, it would be a merrier
world. Thorin -The Hobbit
Thoroughly
enjoyed sitting in the cinema yesterday for 3 hours forgetting about reality,
that truly is the magic of the cinema, when you watch a film there, it's all
about the screen, at home you find yourself distracted. I really should make more effort to go to the
cinema in 2015, and I think we've already picked our first movie, 'big hero 6',
it looks very good, oh and kids will love it too.
Mom and I
watched Top Gear on the night, I've never watched it before and I won't lie I
only wanted to watch it initially because I'd heard they'd got into trouble,
yet we loved it, not the violence at the end the rest of it, their banter with
each other is wonderful and it was such a shame that it did end on a nasty
note. I will however be looking to watch
their other specials that they've done because we both enjoyed it.
So today, now
I know I've said this before and not stuck to my word but I've been planning
this all day yesterday and I AM going to do it.
What you ask - housework! It's
got to be done, my office, bedroom and the living room all desperately need a
hoovering and my office and bedroom need tidying, they're in a right state, I
reckon that will consume the large part of my day and I'm prepared for it. I
just can't work in this disarray any longer, and if I'm saying that I has to be
bad! It's ok if I'm staring at the
screen but as soon as I turn round, my heart sinks. So with my energy reserves restored, I'm
ready and willing to go to war with the mess. Go to war!
Been watching too much hobbit fighting I think.
I've even got
food planned, I'm defrosting a spatchcook chicken (bought it reduced before
Christmas), we're going to have chicken and rice with vegetables, then the
leftover chicken will be used on a jacket potato possibly with some curry sauce. I've just gone through what I've got left in
the freezer and now I can make meals from that for the rest of the week, think
I can get away without shopping at all and if I do need to it'll only be for
basics.
Yes I'm all
re-energised and ready to get tidy, healthy and even lose a few pounds, all I
needed was a rest and I still have the rest of the week to do that, so one day
of housework won't kill me. I need to
finish my rocking chair too, I started that project in the summer and it's just
been left, I will finish it this week.
Oh other good
stuff from yesterday, AnnMarie (my member from Bloxwich) made the daily Mirror http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/real-life-stories/weight-loss-wonders-wanted-see-4885006
and my besties member Annette (Cannock) made the Express & Star http://www.expressandstar.com/editors-picks/2014/12/29/weight-loss-is-sweet-tale-for-family/
It's great to see a members weight loss being celebrated and if you read
AnnMaries, her son's name is Vinny not Binny, you've got to love a typo!
Right all
these promises need upholding so I'm off to start, it's too early for hoovering
but I can start with sorting stuff quietly, sshhh moms still asleep ;) I think
I'll find an audio book and put my earphones in to help me along!
Have a great
day BeYOUtiful. Only two days left of
2014, let's make them great ones.
