Yes, the bit about our body’s natural preference to store fat/ fight or flight was a good reminder. I know stress is the time my eating goes out of the window. I’ve got atomic habits, haven’t managed to read it yet but thanks for the reminder, I’m going to use some of the time I have at the mo to make a start!
Re advents, yes agree, some of the Lego ones are amazing if he’s still into Lego. Other ones I’ve seen/ heard about- Pokémon, brain teasers, there’s a degusta one if he’s into food/ cooking ( never had it but some people love it!), Tony chocolonely with a few extra individual wrapped things for certain days as additional treats to up the money so you’ve spent the same? So many different ones depending on what he likes.
@myladyjane I hear you on sleep, I had an awful night too, lots whirring round in my brain, doing my head in! Hope you managed to get a decent night in the end.
Having a bit of a weird week here, I instigated my redundancy, it was the right thing, I loved where I worked but the role wasn’t right. I started job hunting at the beginning of this month and have, as you know had a few interviews, currently at final stage for 2, and 2 more processes about to start, so doing well, but this week it’s become all consuming and I’m putting so much pressure on myself. I’ve done no exercise other than walking and I’m feeling exhausted. I didn’t eat well yesterday ( see above re stress!!), so I’m having a word with myself today! I’m having my nails done this morning and I’m going to go for a long walk. We’re off to Skipton this weekend to see my mum. We’ll also see my sister and nephew so that’ll be lovely, maybe just what I need! Sorry, that was a lot wasn’t it 🫣.
Have a great day everyone, and lovely weekend when it comes.
