This is one small bonus I love about recovery Adam. In action there was no point in recording a match because I couldn't wait for the result or I would know from my online balance if I had won and so know that result. Today I'm meeting someone for coffee and a chat. I will be recording the spurs game. Won't be listening to the radio and can watch it when I get home and enjoy it fullyÂ
hey stuart thanks for popping by....... two days since i posted so thought id pop by........ Yesturday woke 1pm...... went to the gym....... 8k steps...... got some bacon on way back....... bacon sarnie and a coffee...... then watched footy........ then almost went to gym again but thought id clean flat instead......Â
Â
Then today woke had a cuppa in bed....... then off to work...... grinded away got a fare few things done including taking delivery and signing for a £600,000 endescope equipment for the hospital...... made sure i was careful when bringing it in to theatre....... then done the rest of my day....... bought lunch from canteen today so spent a bit extra...... then went home had a bath......sat in sun for a bit....... went for a nap....... then walked down sainsburys got some bargins (to be fair absolutely everything i bought was either a nectar price or earning extra nactar P[oints........ at end of checkout it said id saved 8 pounds on the 20 pound id spent.... cracking.....
Â
All in all im really wanting to take a break soon but i think i can get thru this week first at least........ a friend of mine hasnt got any holiday untill june....... so hes working 6 months without a break..... so i can do a month first at least.
Â
8 weeks of work done with no break....... roll on week 12!!!!! when itll be warmer.......
Â
Â
Â
Â

Â

Â
All in all im ok.......
Â

Hi Adam
Â
Sounds like a good week and yes tomorrow is a bit of make or break. I can't believe how we've slipped since October. I'm a bit behind you on steps this week. Lots on so must update my diary. Yes, I've missed two days in a row on the chat. Went on the 6pm one tonight before going to a GA open meeting which was amazing but very emotionalÂ
See you on the chat mate
Your friend - Stuart
hi stuart..... had a mixed day......didnt sleep well last night.....short sleep with a nightmare..... woke feeling like didnt want to go to work.....so text in sick......slept till afternnoon...... then put efforts into getting a deal on ps5 pro after i cancelled my order in december which turned out to be a very good price .....i allways manage to get best deal and turns out i wouldve been right buying it back then......but now ive got argos gift vouchers coming out my ears that i dont want b...... tried to get them to honour price......but they cant......so im waiting for another drop as i think ill get one rather than till end of next year for xbox magnus or 2028/9 for ps6 plus the vouchers will run out by then.
Â
i cant fault argos tho they allways good for me and took my ps portal back when id used it.......so that saved me a regretfull purchase.....
Â
sturat u motivated me today tho with ur mega walk as i ended up going to gym later in day after dinner and done 10k steps in hour and half with 60 mins on treadmill.....so now tomo is a 15k day followed by rest day saturday.
Â
Saturday sunday fa cups on so may watch a game or two.......
Hi Adam
Well done for going to the gym and getting rid of the frustrations of the match. We are in trouble now that's for sure and just can't win
Hope you feel better now mate, onwards and upwardsÂ
Hi stuart.... thanks for popping by....... early night last night followed by work today.... ive now had 8 episodes of sickness over last 12 months (down from 10 ) so thats step in right direction..... managed whole of feb without one..... so that good.....
Â
Today went to work and grafted again....back into swing of things...... not sure when ill tke some holiday but looking forward to chilling this weekend..... need to do my garden if sunny.... a friend coming over tomo for lunch so that should be nice.....
Â
All is good ....
Hi Adam
Chilled weekend ? Calm weekend ? Sounds perfect mateÂ
hi stuart mate....... opposite of chilled weekend soo far....... usually when i see friends on weekend i get voices and dont sleep saturday night...... but im hoping altho i saw friends today ill be fine...... had a lovely day pub lunch, coffes, walks, table tennis, all good....... tomo if nice weather will do my garden...... got some flowers for my mum...... all good in the hood.
Sounds like a perfect day. By the way, I know it might sound like a completely ridiculous idea but when those voices coming around have you thought about meditating through your head phones (youtube guided meditation) and doing exactly what the guide says ?
hi stuart yes i listen to music when i get voices allways have...... helps me to control it.... get thru it...... once it was 6 days solid voices no sleep...... can be tough.... but in recent years im much bettter.
Â
Had voices slightly saturday night but as i stopped on the cafiene at 7pm and just drunk hot milk from then and went to bed 9pm,,,,,, then watched box set till midnight.... then slept till midday it was a successful nights sleep thankfully.
Â
Sunday i done a lot of gardening and gym also......
Â
Soo far a good start to the week.... two days in and im on 25k steps.
Â
grafted at work today...... loving getting the most out of each day.
Â
Spent 20 pounds on a meal on saturday and 10 pounds on flowers for mothers day...... also spent 170 pounds on dentist...... so in order to save a hefty amount this month im aiming to spend as little as i can the rest of the month...... i got some milk today, bread tomo, thats all i need........ i have plenty of weetabix for breakfast for the month, i have my lunches sorted....... just my main meals i need...... currently have 18 meals for dinner in my freezer....... so i may actually be able to get to april on what ive got..... Then out of the 1200 ive earnt ill have saved 700 and paid for the dentist...... cracking effort.
Â
Its funny how since i deleted my spreadsheet im actually better at saving....... and spend even less.....
Â
Health wise im putting on weight a bit each month..... need to cut back on cals but i seem to eat eat eat at mo.... oh well......
Â
Â
Â
Â
Hi mate
Sounds like another good day. I dream about sleeping for 12 hours. What's the advice on thatÂ
i guess the advice is if ur a night owl go to sleep midnight and if ur early bird go to be midday lol
Â
Today i woke went to work........ done a fair few good things at work....... theres some redundancies happening at work but im hoping that they never put me up for it with them allways needing bins putting out.
Â
inp-utted my slip test readings in app at work today.... will finnish tomo....... work going pretty well as usual.
Â
spent a long time looking at my finances last night.......Â
Â
Bought some bread today and the only thing i needed was oil but managed to get some from my folks.....
Â
Got 11 pounds left on sainsburys gift card....... this should allow me to get some milk , bread and eggs for rest of the month...... determined not to spend anything......
Â
then next month ill buy soup, meat, veggies, beans, etc all the good stuff.........
Â
Anyways im off to bed
