5 years on
So, the 16th of March. Back in 2005 I’d fallen into bad habits. I was seriously overweight and spent most of my time watching TV, playing computer games and eating takeaways.

Hold the Mayo!
A couple of weeks ago it was revealed that Maggie was following a special diet that was heavy on eggs, grapefruit and various other things.

Keeping Busy
Ages since the last really long update. I think I’ve just got out of the habit of sitting down and writing long posts. Conversely I do a lot of status updates on Facebook or even Twitter because it’s easier to write a single sentence or even just a fragment of one.
