Friday 5^th July

8 stone 13, alcohol units last night 1 (excellent), cigarettes nil (excellent), calorie intake last night lots (poor), strong coffees so far 2 (and counting)

9 am. Serious packing calls for serious measures.  Moving to a house half the size of this one.  ActorLaddie says we need to be calm, purposeful and proactive. Agree.

Downloaded time-management book for Kindle which suggests making of list of essential tasks, prioritising and working through in order.  Essential defined as only tasks related to job in hand.  Job in hand being getting everything prepared for removal men who arrive at 8 am in three days time.  Need a list. Must on no account get distracted by writing blog.

Will go and make list.  Coffee first.
