Saturday - Time to finish that furniture...

Up at 10.30am after a late night, last night.

11.00am - Breakfast - 2 x bacon, 1 x egg and 4 x cherry tomatoes

I was supposed to be finishing the last chest of drawers today...but sadly although Argos replaced the back of the drawer which had been broken when it arrived, they are going to have to now send out a replacement top for the unit. When I got everything out to check it was all there, it was...however I didn't check over everything so when I came to put the top panel on I found there was a big dent on the front edge of it. Now I could have just said oh well, never mind and put it all together as it was...but to be honest it wasn't really cheap and why should I have a nice new bit of furniture with a big dent in? So apparently as they haven't got one of those parts spare they will be sending me a whole chest of drawer pack which I will then retrieve the bit I need from it and then the delivery driver will take it away again. Seems a bit of a hassle for them...I mean why not just take the bit out at their end and just send that to me?? Oh well, fingers crossed they manage to get it sorted...I will keep you updated.

3.00pm - Chocolate butterfly cake...hmm, not diet food I hear you cry, true but I fancied it and it was (alone with the one Paul had) the last one so now they are gone.
A can of Pepsi Max to wash it down with...yep, I am having a bit of a crazy day...lol

Seriously though, the  broken chest top has put a downer on the day and I have rather lost my motivation to sort out all the stuff and put it away...as now there is a half built chest of drawers in the bedroom which can't be used. Ho hum, I had better go and get on with sorted out as best as I can I guess.
I will upload this now and add the rest of the day's food etc later.

Right, well this afternoon didn't go so well. Paul's brother and sister-in-law brought some Ovaltine chocolate biscuits over from Switzerland with them and several of them have ended up in my tummy today.

8.00pm - Supper - Chicken Korma and rice, with a small Peshwari naan bread
Cream apple turnover for afters and another can of Pepsi Max.

Not the greatest day diet wise, and I will be honest and say that part of that is a slight feeling of hopelessness over the state the house is now in. Everything is in upheaval...I still need to sort everything out and get it all back into the bedroom, but admit I am feeling a bit 'where do I start?'...something I used to regularly feel as a teenager when I decided to change my room around and it got to gone midnight and looked like a bomb had hit it.
Argh, well tomorrow is another day...hopefully the light of a new day will put things into perspective and I will feel ready to tackle it all and get things back to what passes for normal in this house...lol
