It’s been 3 whole days since I had any diet coke (since sunday night)… many cups of tea seems to have helped keep me awake when required although it’s a lot harder to wake up in the morning. I’ve been told it takes 28 days to make or break a habit.. 3 and counting..

Well, the kitchen is getting there slowly. Not much left to do before the electrician can come back and wire in the appliances. Then we can get the sink fitted in properly so that we have water in the kitchen once more.
My advice to anyone considering replacing their kitchen – get someone else to do it for you in a few days (or if you’re a plumber/builder/electrician, book a week off and get it done quickly). This business of destroying a kitchen over the space of a year really sucks.

Kids toys seem to be rather odd these days.. my old Action Man used to have swivel eyes operated with a lever in the back of his head. Harry’s Action Man that he got for his birthday has one of those radar systems built in and says things like “I smell you”, “Hey you!”, and “Hold it X!”
