At the sign of the Starving Slattern

Today, we cleared out our wardrobes and started our diet.

Bleah.

I do not get this happy zippy feeling of 'Well now, there's a job well done!' about housekeeping; I seriously don't give a damn and would rather just hurl my old clothes out of the windows and eat out of bits of old newspaper.

Right now I am hungry enough to eat the newspaper.

Still, I rediscovered how much cool and mostly purple stuff I still have. Purple is good. And the bedroom does look better; you can see the carpet now. I'm never sure as to why that is considered a good thing, but it is, so huzzah.

Right now I quite want sex, though I am in too weird and cantankerous a mood to really enjoy it, let alone make it enjoyable for anyone else. Maybe my backbrain's just brought it up to divert me from how hungry I am. Unusual sex would be good, sex in a wetsuit perhaps, or in a tank, or on an enormous pizza.

P.S. Did I mention I was hungry?

Ahh... we have a cunning plan to beat the impulse buying of the starving. It's a meal plan for the week. Sounds dull as dishwater in theory, but given how much more controlled our spending was for Christmas when we HAD to plan the parental meals in advance we thought this might be a good way to a frugal January (and heaven knows, we need one)!

As to the reality... we'll see.

I'm back on the NoCount Weightwatchers plan as it certainly seemed to work for me until all the work-based upset took my determination away. I've survived two days of the chocolate/biscuit/left-overs food mountain at work thus far. Easy it is not. Virtuous I am feeling!!!

Virtuous you are indeed being!

You are right about meat for a week being the way forward. So much list making and organisation...I am dismayed by this sudden tide of rationality!

To our shock tonight's spend was only about two thirds of the normal total AND we've got enough food in to feed for a week bar the two small items that they hadn't got in stock as opposed to the four or so we'd normally end up with. It's definitely a dull way to shop (as a bored Dan will testify), but it's cheaper, faster and diet-friendly!
