So it's about time I did something about it once and for all. Yes, I've probably said this before, but now I'm in a happier place and have full control over the food that comes into the household, so it should be easier! I'm back on the diet but, instead of weighing myself once a week... I'm going to weigh myself and do exercises every day with Wii Fit! I mean, that's the reason why I got it in the first place isn't it? It should make it easier to stick to my diet and lose those vital pounds!
I'm also going to work towards targets, which I didn't before. My first target is to get below 25 BMI... so, basically, to not be overweight anymore! Next is to lose 10% of my body weight, which should take me under 12 stone. Next is to get to 11.5 stone, where I'm going to stop and take a good long look at myself and ask "Do I look good?". If the answer is anything other than "Yes" then I'm going further and aiming for 11st. I'm not going any lower than that. I was 10.5 stone at one point in the past and I was really scrawny, so I think 11 stone should be fine without looking too thin.
Wish me luck!

Yay! Rachel won! Sure she sat on the fence a few times but I honestly thought she was one of the most genuine housemates this year! Plus she's so sweet! And pretty! Congrats to her!
When BB9 started, I thought Mikey would win and I was so sure I was going to place a bet on it! Thankfully I didn't, as he came in 2nd! I can't imagine how gutted I'd have felt if I had placed the bet!

With Misty now amongst her kind in gerbil heaven, I needed something to cheer me up a little. Thank goodness I'd come home with a brand new widescreen monitor!
It's 22" and works on a resolution of 1680x1050. Niiice! It's great to have two monitors again. When I borrowed dad's for a week, I was impressed, but now I've got another monitor with a resolution high enough to make your eyes bleed!
Maybe sometime in the future I'll get another monitor to replace the 19" inch 4:3 one.

It's with regret that I have to report that Misty has passed on. She was taken away from us while I was away for the weekend.
When I moved to the Midlands, Misty moved with me and soon settled into her new home, sooner than I did to be honest. She was my prodajay, my friend. She made me feel not quite so alone. Not having a garden to bury her in, I went to the edge of the field behind the flat and buried her by a tree.
She will be sorely missed

Nope... not a mobile...
...it's my new home phone. It's wireless and also supports skype! I've been using one that work very kindly donated to me since I moved in (which I'm giving back to them tomorrow). I went through a hell of a lot of trouble trying to get this bloody thing and now I have it! My flat is complete... well, as much as it can be for a single bachelor with his own place who likes his gadgets (not THAT way!).
All in all though, my life is going well. I'm getting out more, my job is nigh-on perfect, I'm learning more songs on my guitar and am still in touch with my friends up North. I'm not getting onto the site that often to post a lot as I'm up to all sorts of stuff. I hope that everything will level out just a teenie bit so I can continue to update these pages.
I have a couple of random rants that I might post on here later, one of which is about video podcasts (which perhaps most geeky UK visitors to this site might agree with).
