I’ve done you a video for you to look at.

I’m sorry about the quality of this, my laptops webcam is horrible.

Apologies, I have lots.

This post is just a quick update to apologize to you all for not posting for a few weeks!

I’ve been really busy with work for other modules, and I just needed to take a quick break from the blog.

I’ve got something exciting on the way, just you wait and see :)

Stay tuned!

Love the bubbles.

This week is no fizzy drinks, and I’m going to be the first to admit I’ve struggled with this one as well.

In fairness, I haven’t drunk any coke, which is the one thing I really needed to give up, I live off it.

I went home for Easter this week, and I forgot that a major part of going home was drinking, and man, the alcohol I drink sure is fizzy!

Strongbow is definitely my drink of choice at the moment, although there are nicer ciders... Also, I want to recreate this picture. (Image from Flickr)

Once I had some of this, I couldn’t stop myself, white wine, NO, white wine with lemonade please! God, I’m awful. I hope no one tries to use me as an excellent example for something.

So, I’ve failed you for the second week running.

I’m also running thin on ideas, I mean, I have no chocolate, and no cheese, which I could easily do. Maybe, but I’m not sure if I want to. I have deadlines coming up, I need all the comforts I can get my hands on.

You don’t want me to have a nervous breakdown because I can’t eat cheese, do you?

Good.

I’m sorry! I’m a bit of a let down, I was doing so well previous to last week… Slowly going off the rails…

Fizz.

After the failure that was last week, I’m going to try harder this week.

Spending less than a fiver a day was a great challenge, unfortunately I was unable to do it, and ended up spending a fair bit more than £15 over the course of the weekend. Oops.

No fizzy drinks is this week, and I’ve done it before, sort of.

Last year I gave up fizzy drinks for lent, but that was mainly coke, sprite and all that stuff.

It can be quite easy to go without these, plenty of people do it all the time! (image from flickr)

I did that, so I think I can do this.

But here’s a question for you, should I just limit this week to the soft drinks, or should I go the whole hog and cut out fizzy alcoholic drinks, I realise that you may already think this is the case, however I didn’t specify, and I’ve been thinking about it.

So, am I allowed my cider or aren’t I? Let me know and I’ll keep you updated…

I have been wanting to crack open a can of coke since I’ve not been drinking them. It’s been really sunny and a can of coke would be the perfect beverage (aside from a nice cold cider) to sit in the sun with.

It’s going well though, I’m content.

Stay tuned!

You’ve decided.

This week I was a bit nervous, as there were quite a few things on the list that I didn’t really want to do.

The list was as follows

1. No chocolate

2. No branded food

3. No fizzy drinks

4. No take aways / eating out

5. No cheese

I think I could possibly only complete one of those. Oh dear.

This week a third of you have decided that I am giving up fizzy drinks. Scary.

I reckon I can give it a good go, but I pretty much live off coke, so we shall see how this week goes.

Wish me luck!
