January end post

A couple of days late on this one but never mind.

I am still the same weight as before but it's not really a surprise.  My eating has got better than before and I am still doing more than I was before but I have had more treats than I should so it's no shock.  This year is about a lot more than just weight though and it's a marathon not a sprint.  I am going to finally clear enough room for the treadmill so I can take regular walks inside and I will try harder on cutting out the extra snack stuff I really don't need.

I have made good progress at clearing out the house but there is still a lot more to do.  I have cleared a lot of the cellar and patched up the holes.  I just need to clear out some more of it and cover the patched holes with some plaster.  I was buying a dehumidifier on Ebay but they took it off sale.  I am wanting to get the ladder out and get up in the loft soon, see if there is anything I can do with it for extra storage.  I have cleared out the old wardrobe so it's just cutting it up and making shelving with it in the small room.  That will make a lot extra space in the rest of the house if I can stack all our crap in boxes in there.  I am going to see about a regular table top sale at the club so we can make a few extra pennies and get rid of some of our unwanted stuff.

I have been working on setting up the burlesque show and it's mostly sorted now, as is my little boys birthday party for this Sunday.  I have a fog machine and bubble machine like I wanted and there is not that much left to do on either event now really.  Just more music downloading I think and then buy a few things for the buffet for the party and few bits for the show.  I need to find a way of making some money for the company to get a banner printed up for the back of the stage.  I have tote bags that just need the transfer logos putting on to sell, might have a raffle for the company too for a bit extra.

The sex life has sprung in to some major action as well.  Not going to go in to detail on here but stuff is happening that didn't really happen before and I like it.  Taken a different turn to how we tried things before.  It's interesting.

I am happy with how things are going so far this year so far, t might be slow progress but I am moving forward in getting things done that I want to get sorted.

The only thing that I have been upset about really is the letters asking for money.  I am fine with the old Ann Summers one and the private car park one.  I know I technically should owe it but I don't feel that I do.  The parking tickets were issued to me in their error and I have told them that.  I really don't think they are taking it forward and Ann Summers really aren't.  That is 4 years ago I tried to give them the kit back and they refused it.  It's their fault and their problem.  It's the council ones that bother me as they can be enforced.  The allotment that I got too ill to use is meant to be paid for anyway and the parking tickets for parking on my own street where I'm meant to, they said I contested it too late even though it is where I have the right to park.  I took longer contesting those because I was ill and I am meant to park there.  I need to try and sort it out or just pay them but it's hard to pay for things you shouldn't even owe, especially when you don't have any money to pay it with.  Not sure if I should talk to someone about it.

I still need to do more with my youtube channel but I will get some more done as the feeling takes me for that one.  I have some subjects I want to cover so it's on the way.
