Phew!!!!
The boiler is just getting old (it's two years younger than my beloved) and needs a new valve & thermostat. The bits are available, it's not been condemned to the scrapheap in the sky, and I can breathe a huge sigh of relief that we are looking at a bill of £120 odd instead of £2000 odd!
Anyway, to celebrate I went for a ralk (run/walk) and did a bit more than yesterday. I was stopped by a woman driving past asking for directions while I was mid-walk - she must have thought I was on death's door as I panted and puffed out the directions to the local nursery. She did look rather concerned...
Anyway, I was offered a bit of the Thornton's cake when I got home, which I gratefully accepted (it's OK, it was a teeny bit and accounted for in my daily total) and I savoured it with a mug of lemon & ginger tea.
I'm going to earn myself another 95 calories in a minute by doing my weight training...
Lunch is going to be Healthy Choice soup; a slice of bread & Olivio; chopped apples & fresh strawberries and a dollop of organic Greek yoghurt. Or I might save the fruit & yoghurt until mid afternoon... 
That will HOPEFULLY see me through until 8pm when it's dinner time...
