So those not-resolutions?

[supertinks]

Hehe not really getting off to a good start so far! Well, not as far as the No Sweets! No Chocolate! No Fizzy Drinks! side of it anyway.

Mind you, the first week of the year, back in work after Christmas, when its cold and dark and cold and snowing and icy and cold, with nothing really to look forward to for some time (December might be cold and dark and cold as well, but at least there is Christmas to look forward to), is not really the best time of year to cut out all the nice treats that make you feel better!

So while I haven't been all that pro-active in cutting those out, I have been a bit more proactive in making sure the rest of my diet is back to pre-Christmas healthiness. Although there isn't enough fruit yet.

Exercise-wise, I dragged myself to the gym on Tuesday evening, and while I didn't do a full work-out, I certainly did enough to make myself feel all energised, and for my muscles to get all achy yesterday and today! Swimming after work tonight, I've tested out my underwater mp3 and its awesome. I've got a playlist of songs which is approximately 40 minutes long, so we'll see how we go swimming to that. its a mix of Tom Jones, Chicago, Rammstein, The Hoosiers and the Shrek 2 soundtrack...

Whats not helping my poor aching shoulders, is that when I fall asleep I tend to end up in a position where one arm is out of the covers bent up over my head on the pillow, which in my room means it turns into an icicle in the middle of the night, so my shoulders are a tad stiffer than they really have any right to be.

Hurrah for exercise!

Totally OT, can you remind me where the shop where you got your laptop was? I want to pop along on Saturday to have a look around before trying to make a decision. :-)

you get to the roundabout off the A329(M) where you would normally turn left to get to my house, and you go right instead. Its on that big silly shaped roundabout thing just up from mine, we've gone past it a few times now going that route to get to Caro's. the entrance is on the other side of the roundabout though, so you stay in the right lane and go round the shops, and then turn right. its next to a Majestic Wine Warehouse and the Bathstore (which are the ones you'll probably spot from the road as Novatech is in the middle)

ooh also, Jamie's been looking at netbooks and things, and there's a pretty funky looking one by Advent which we've been looking at - Dixons have them at reasonable prices (the newest one is £345.04 - 10.2" screen, 160GB hard drive, Windows XP, bluetooth)

I have woe as the macbook is *exactly* what I want...apart from the operating system. I just cannot get along with the new mac software. I like lists, damnit! But the actual machine itself is AWESOME. Apparently you can boot it up as a Windows machine, but I was too scared in the Apple Store to ask them to show me how. :-(

Thanks for the info on the Novatech place. I'll check it out at the weekend :-)

That sounds unholy.
