We use camping hammocks. Water and wind proof, light, with mosquito netting and a rain roof. It makes finding a camping spot a breeze.

New tattoo booked for after we've completed the walk! Been saving it because I won't be able to swim while it heals.

Met the fundraising lead for the charity I'm doing the Yorkshire Three Peaks for - she was lovely, and we had a really great brainstorming session with added Maltesers and giggling. They're going to help give the challenge as much visibility as they can, and invited me to be part of a case study and to basically have an "ally" role with the charity going forwards if I want it. Given they made such a huge difference to me it's pretty awesome!

She also gave me some great tips to hopefully beat the FB algorithm and generally help with visibility - I've been stuck in that "are people ignoring me, or is it the algorithm?" rabbit hole for a bit now.

Thanks again to you guys on here - I think by proportion you've actually donated the most to the challenge so far. You're awesome. Go Empire!

I think you PMed me right before the big fb outage so I forgot to respond, but what you're doing rules and congrats on the potential for the future!

Checked my firm's intranet page for Conveyancing as we're looking at quotes for the same - and apparently as I've been here for 5+ years I get conveyancing for free.

This could be pretty mega.

Made the decision to get my shit together and stop putting weight back on. I lost 100 pounds and kept it off for a couple of years, then starting last Halloween the wheels came off and I started eating like a madman. I’ve put back on about 30 pounds and feel like shit about it. I was so pleased with myself to lose it. So, now I’m holding myself accountable again. Counting calories, tracking food, avoiding carbs, keeping my diabetes well under control, which is why I lost the weight in the first place. I’m not going as hard as I did before, I lost the 100 pounds in about 5 months. I only need to lose 30 so no need to be that crazy.

You lost 40 Kg in 5 months? How is that possible!

But great job

Ahhhhh, woke up the the first proper 'spring like' morning of the season. Dew that collects over night on the windshield in liquid form (doesn't need to be scraped off or blasted by the defroster). Also, birds singing like they were auditioning for the heavenly choir. Could spring weather finally take hold? I sure do hope so.

Crossed a before I'm 40 item off my list.
Went to a TV show being filmed, the caveat being that it had to be a show I enjoy not just any old Jeremy Kyle garbage.
So was at the filming of Celebrity Juice. Took about 3 1/2 hours.
I expected this.
What I didn't expect, so much of it is just off the cuff, unscripted. The panelists for the most have no fucking idea what's in store for them, but kudos to them for laughing and getting on with it.
Only one second take on anything, and that was a muddled up lead in to a game by Lemon.
All in all, an entertaining evening, they were very good at keep the craic going between set ups etc

Big kappa

Never heard of Celebrity Juice but I looked it up and they recently destroyed an old Pierce Morgan set for kicks and made him turn purple, so the show is good for something.

Had a downed bumblebee in the flat when I got home. Had a quick look online (I remembered you were supposed to give them something with sugar), made him a sugar water solution in a dish and stuck him on my windowsill under the open window.

Few minutes later he picked himself up and off he went. Little things!

Severe caloric restriction and moderate exercise. I was doing between 1000 and 1200 calories a day. I can’t seem to find the willpower to go that hard again.

That's hardcore indeed. No wonder you can't muster the willpower for something like that after being on it for months. When was this by the way?
