Monday 5th January 2015
Up at the crack of dawn (even though had set alarm clock was awake at 4am).  Took dog on a fairly long walk picking up the papers on the way back.  Into the office for 7:50.  All good stuff.


Tuesday 6th January 2015
Up early.  Dog walked.  Bumped into Jonny Bigland for the second day in a row.  Got papers, into the office for 8am.  Mad day doing tons of stuff on Brand Protection and special projects.  Looking at going to Wales soon.  Count Arthur Stong on telly at 10.35 - ace stuff.

Wednesday 7th January 2015
Didn't get up til 5:50 due to watching Count Arthur late at night!   Dog, walked. Papers fetched.  Facing the music at Group tonight.  Time to get back on the plan!  Went to group after work to face the music/scales.  8lbs on since 17/12/2014.  Mortified.   Definitely time to get back on plan.  2lbs heavier than I was in January 2014 (which also wasn't very clever).  Dog walking and working on a website for someone then bed about 10:30

Thursday 8th January 2015
Still going with no alarm and consequently didn't get up until five to six!   Wind blowing a hoolie at night though so perhaps to be expected.  Dog walked, papers fetched.  Porridge for breakfast into the office for 8am.  All good so far.

Friday 9th January 2015
Dog walked early.  Porridge for breakfast.  Office fairly early.  All good stuff.  Got home, new tactic is to take dog a walk as soon as I get in.  That way she doesn't mither me all through tea - worked well. Received bill from Golf Club, emailed and told 'em I wasn't renewing this time.

Saturday 10th January 2015
Up early.  Dog walked, papers fetched.  Few jobs in the house done.  Fetched piccy B. Golf at 1.03, got beat off full handicap but such is life.  Coffee in clubhouse.  Derby beat Ipswich 1-0 to go second in the league leapfrogging the tractor boys on the way.  All good stuff.  Took pooch a walk along old railway line in dark and she got spooked by something - very wierd.   Started watching Scandal on Sky Boxsets which has a lot of scenery from West Wing I reckon not to mention the chap who plays Will Bailey in West Wing for that matter.  It's not too bad.

Sunday 11th January 2015
Up early.  Mini dog walk first thing - wind blowing a hoolie again. Got 95% of my self-assessment tax return completed - just need to check a couple of things and can have that done by next week. Glad I registered to do them online last year or I'd be up sh*t creek without a paddle (well facing a £100 fine again, perhaps).  

Breakfast then a bit later on went a cracking walk with the pooch, very enjoyable - will plot it next time see how far round it was - probably a couple of miles I think.  Nice sunny day so went down the allotment - got the water off the shed rerouted to fill the water butts (the IBC is full to brim I think) and some other jobs done.   A few tinnies in the afternoon before going to me mum and dads for tea which was very nice, thank you very much.  Got home and bed early.
