There've been two issues I've had since I moved into the flat:
- The early morning sun shines in my face, which isn't good... especially after a night out on the lash
- If I'm on the computer and the room seems stuffy, opening the window takes a while to freshen it up because the desk is in the far corner
So today I decided to kill two birds with one stone... I've swapped the bed and desk around in my bedroom! My bed's out of the direct sunlight now, and my computer desk is right by the window. The moment I open the window, I immediately feel the fresh air come in. It was also a good thing too that I moved the PC, because it made me see how much dust will still in the machine when I moved. *Blows dust out* *coughs* *splutters* There... that should help keep the temperature down.
As you can see, there's not a lot to report right now, but I have a feeling there will be soon...

I used to have a site I built myself. Now I'm using SimplePHPBlog. It's really good, but I feel I've lost touch with who I am a little... a web designer. Sure, I do web design at work but I haven't done anything about my own site for ages!
So I'm redesigning it.
I'm going back to my roots, writing my own blog code and menu structure and everything! I'm doing what I've always wanted to do with it and it's going to be perfect! This is gonna take a looong time no doubt, but it'll be worth it!
Watch this space!

Oh joy of joys!* Another day where couples all around the world insist on rubbing it in the faces of single folk. At least I don't have to go through the hassle of trying to book a table in a restaurant tonight, and it gives me an excuse to use this again...
Love sucks!
* Yay! I'm getting better at my sarcasm!

What was the one problem with the new car? The stereo. It came with a cassette player that, sadly, busted a long time ago. Ya stick a tape in there and it won't play cos the motor's gone, and the eject button is borked as well. In order to listen to anything, I had to use an FM transmitter, but the aerial was snapped off ages ago so the reception wasn't fantastic. SOOOOoooo......
Say hello to my new stereo, supporting MP3 CDs, USB and Aux in! I was gonna get one that used an SD card but it dawned on me that I'd be limited to 2Gb on each card (since the only one I could find didn't support SDHC). This one's good cos it supports up to 8Gb USB sticks, maybe even higher for all I know.
I was gonna get some speakers too but the fellah in the shop said I should notice a big improvement in sound quality by just having the new stereo. I wasn't sure but I went ahead and, sure enough, it's soooo much better!! Time to sort out my music, methinks...

We all live in a world now where everything has to be politically correct, such as making gingerbread men into "gingerbread people", which can be a bit of a pain sometimes. However, I came across a genuine SnowMAN! And here he is, in all his glory...

Well, I have a car now! I've been looking around for a couple of months for a Honda Jazz but sadly they're too expensive... that, and I was turned down for a loan by the sodding bank! Bloody recession! Anyway, the folks stopped by this weekend and gave me my dad's old car. It's an 11 year old Renault Megane hatchback 1.4, and looks a little like this:
Now I have the freedom to go pretty much wherever I please!

It's certainly been a short while since I had any diet updates for you all! Then again, I've had my birthday, bonfire night, christmas AND new year to compete with since I was no longer declared as overweight. Over Christmas and new year I didn't follow the diet because... well... how can ya??! Over those two weeks alone I'd put on 5 lbs!
Still, nonetheless, I've fought on and now I can announce that I'm at:
22.98 BMI
That's 11 stone 6 pounds! Incredible!As I promised myself, I took a good long hard look at myself in the mirror. I definitely look a lot better, a slimmer sportier me looked back at me... but... I'm still not quite happy with it, so I'm carrying on to 11 stone. However, I'm making a change. Instead of weighing myself when I wake up, I'm going to do it when I get home from work instead. I'll be heavier at that time of the day, what with breakfast, lunch, and all the cups of coffee I've drunk still in my gut. I think doing it this way means that I will roughly be at my target weight at a more realistic time of the day (I mean, how many people go by how much they weigh first thing on a morning?).
This means, then, that my new target weight is 22 BMI which is exactly 11 stone for me. Wii Fit recommends this weight for me anyway, because it's the weight at which my body can fight off infection at it's best.
Well, here's hoping...
