At Last, Mr Postman

Hello – I hope the start of the week has treated everyone well. I didn’t post yesterday, which is unusual for me on a weekday, but I had perhaps the most boring day ever and I didn’t have anything interesting to say at all. I think my day could be summed up in four brief bullet points:

• Got up
• Revised
• Ate some food, but too lazy to take any photos
• Went to bed

I went to bed nice and early because I had to wake up at 5.30am today to get to my exam. I did arrive two hours early, but it’s better to have some time to look over notes than to get stuck in traffic and be late. The exam was ok, although not spectacular … I’m just relieved that another one is over (if I don’t have to re-sit) and I only have four more left to do. I was pretty hungry when I finished, and luckily I’d thrown together a ham and mustard roll last night to take with me. It was a bit sad looking, but it filled a hole!

The package I had waiting for me when I got home more than made up for my very ordinary lunch – it was the prize I won on Maria’s blog! Maria raised lots of money for Cancer Research by running the Great South Run and running a fantastic competition on her blog – well done! I’ve been looking forward to receiving this for a while, but the post is a bit rubbish around here (I think the postman just doesn’t bother coming down our road some days!) and I was away at the weekend.

I won some tubes of Nuun tablets and a Nuun water bottle.

(Yes, we need to clean our kitchen windows!)

I’m already a convert to Nuun thanks to Maria’s recommendation and I drink one after every run or workout. They are a bit pricey though, so I was very very happy to win four tubes, especially as I’ve never tried the orange and ginger flavour before.

But that’s not all! Maria also sent some Seed Stacked flapjacks. I’ve never had these either, so I’m really looking forward to trying them.

And the best thing was some of Maria’s own baking! She sent two dark chocolate brownies and a vegan spiced pumpkin cake.

I was in desperate need of some chocolate after my exam, so one of the brownies went down the hatch straight away.

I intended to eat half and save the rest for later, but it was so good that I couldn’t stop munching through the rest – thank you Maria! I can’t wait to try the pumpkin cake as well.

Even though the exam wasn’t specular, I always get a high once I’ve finished, so I decided to put that energy to good use by cleaning my room and sorting out my wardrobe. I’m no domestic goddess and I really really hate cleaning – so when I’m in the mood I have to take advantage. I sorted through all my clothes and only found three items that I don’t think I’ll ever wear again. That does mean that I think I have enough clothes to wear a different ensemble every day for a month … so I’m going to take myself up on that challenge. I just need to try to remember what I’ve worn each day!

Do you sort through your clothes regularly? Do you have lots?
