Another alcohol-free weekend successfully negotiated. Grand. Up at 5:50 after ignoring alarm clock twice. Took dog up town to get papers then got stuff ready for Cycle2Work and into the office for a bit after 8am. Busy day in the office. Home a bit after 6pm, tea, dog walked, half an hour on Phil's bedroom. All good stuff. Watched the 'Kill the Moon' episode of Dr Who with Lulu. Wanted to get to bed early but failed due to sorting stuff out online birthday present etc and checking weather for Cycling to work

A fortnight of no alcohol today and am just kicking on with it! Up at 5.30, dog walked and papers fetched. Then car loaded up for a cycle2work from Belper. Light rain as forecast and a pain-in-the-arse wind however, if it stays in same direction for way home I will be well pleased (it'll turn round, have no fear).
On way home the damned phone broke down again. Set off at 5:19, got back for 6:02 so approximately 43 minutes to get back - I think I had the wind with me and have been giving the bike a blast with GT85 spray after last few rides which seems to do it a power of good

Kept having to get up in the night to sort the pooch out. She's got the runs and wants out of her crate when she needs to relieve herself. After the 3am walk I took her I left her out of the crate and got up at 5:50 to find she'd done another, bless her. Never mind, took her up town at 6am, got papers got into the office for 8.20am straight into Countdown Analysis. Long day of data entry but it will be more than worth it when it's all done and dusted. Hollie's group after work - 1lb on. Not too pleased after giving up alcohol but such is life - the scales don't lie. Dog still poorly - took her a walk after tea. Did a bit more on Phil's bedroom haven't even done any painting yet!!!

Woke at 5am, out of bed for 5:20. Took pooch a walk. Loaded up bike and off to Belper to Cycle2Work. All good stuff. Under 52 minutes so a good three minutes quicker than Tuesday but almost perfect conditions for it!
Had a top day at work doing analysis of stuff. Getting it near done now and well pleased! Set off home about 7.15 and in Belper for a bit after 6pm, home for 6:30pm all good - got over took by two road bikes - am almost of a mind to . Got a call to say Jason coming tomorrow to put paper on for us so a bit of a panic. Had tea, took dog walk, got busy upstairs. The good thing is though that once this is done we can really move on.

Dog still got the runs, bless her so first job at 5:30 was to clean up the mess. Then a walk and papers fetched all good. Did a bit of sanding as I had to do some more filling last night on bits I'd missed. Anyway, off to work nice and early and first McDonalds big breakfast in weeks! Busy day in the office getting out reports to FMs but cut short when had to take dog to vets. She does not like having her temperature taken or having an injection of vitamin B12 but by crikey it was worth the £52 (with a tube of probiotic stuff) as following day she was rapidly getting back to normal.
Saturday 18th October 2014
Up early, dog walked, papers fetched. Brekko fetched from Piccy B early doors. Off to Ripley for football. Took the pooch a good walk round Ripley of a mile and a half or so. Lucy's team won 4-0 over Ripley and Lucy nearly scored so all good stuff. Back to Ashbourne Golf Club for 1pm and nine holes with John - very slow again. Shan't miss that. Took Poocher a walk over to Sprinkshill wood. Then back home - did a bit in Phil's bedroom. Off for a barbecue(!) at Beresford Dale in October - what a mild day! Back home at 11.30 knackered.
Sunday 19th October 2014
Up early. Mini walk with dog. Shoes polished. Big walk up Bradley Wood with pooch. Back home and started the undercoating mullarky in Phil's bedroom. Put many coats on Phil's cupboard doors over the day but still drying cracky - not pleased. Skirting board looking grand! Took Lucy and pooch for a walk and we got a load of sweet chestnuts - millions getting crushed on road. Shame. Then another coat of undercoat on the doors before a trip down to the lotty. Pulled up the pea row and the secondary bean row (that didn't work that well - note to self for next year). Got another punnet of raspberries, bosskat had two small cabbages). Tea, then another coat. Watched last night's episode of Doctor Who which was jolly clever and all that. Then bed early and asleep in about three seconds (give or take).
