Boring entry

So I’ve been doing the 5:2 diet for a week now and I’ve lost 2lb. After the first day, I was 4lb down and then put three of those back on the next day. Weird, I expected it to go up and down slightly because of the alternation, but how did I put 3lb back on in one day? No way did I eat 3lb of food! Anyway, I think this diet is really going to work for me as, if I’m missing chocolate one day, I know I can have it again tomorrow. I made two batches of soup yesterday; one of chicken, celery and sweetcorn and one of vegetable; broccoli, green beans, courgette and tomato. They’re both really tasty and only about 100 calories per portion. There’s enough for fast day lunches for the next four weeks. I was very proud, I don’t do cooking, ever, so to make two batches of successful soup was a big achievement for me!

We went to Kidderminster for a wedding reception last night. No offence to the couple, but it was rubbish. The DJ was playing all the wrong songs and no one was dancing. I put in a request for Macarena and Saturday Night as I knew that would get people up, and I was right; the dancefloor was heaving! The DJ had no idea what he was doing. He then played Killing in the Name by Rage Against the Machine. Me and Jay got up to mosh and everyone was staring at us.

On top of no one dancing, everyone also left really early. The place was deserted by 11pm, it was ridiculous. We stayed the night in the hotel so I could drink but I might as well have driven home as everyone else did, we were just about the only people drinking as well. I don’t understand what happened there.

I bought some anti-wrinkle stuff yesterday. Yeah, I’m 31 and I should have started doing this about five years ago, it’s quite depressing. I’m starting to get tiny wrinkles around my eyes that my make up settles into so I bought some Lacura products from Aldi; eye cream, toner and face cream. They’re less than 1/4 of the price of the other stuff in Boots but apparently just as good.

I also treated myself to some new earrings including an ear cuff which I’ve never had before. I was sure about it but I wore it anyway as I thought maybe I wasn’t used to it, and I got lots of compliments so it must have been nice :o)

It’s mam and dad’s 41st wedding anniversary today, which is a land anniversary, weirdly. 41 years! I’ve bought them a present but I can’t say what it is yet as I ordered it too late and it hasn’t arrived yet. Doh to unorganised me :o(

We have a family of four fledgling sparrows and their parents in our garden. The babies don’t yet know they’re supposed to be scared of people and were sitting next to us yesterday asking for food. It’s so cute watching them being fed and practicing flying and landing on things :o) Earlier, one of them was hovering in front of the window and headbutting the glass trying to get in. Glass must be so confusing!

Well that was a boring entry, sorry about that.
