Has it really been three months since I last added an entry to the site – yes actually last post was 25th May 2013!!

I’m being kept busy and maybe this time I can say that and actually mean it rather than me just being too busy (lethargic) to post anything. I am as always being kept busy with work but now feel that I have more interests outside of work which are utilising the time when I am not in work. I am still doing my litter picks in Llangunnor and have also started helping out with clearing the church graveyard, have to admit that I am interested in the history of the church so this is also helping me with a research project I am currently working on.

Speaking of my litter picking the local council PR department emailed me a few weeks ago regarding doing a press release about my work, something I was happy to do as it will help to promote my work in keeping Llangunnor tidy and hopefully it will get more people wanting to become involved.

The community council is moving forward for its plans with the park and was surprised that they got some repairs done to the wooden hut in the local park – I am currently looking to see if I can fund some new planks to replace the ones that have been vandalised. Meetings are still ongoing regarding further developments in the park.

The Community Council has also co-opted a new member, two people had shown an interest in the position however one candidate had the majority of votes from Councillors the new Councillor has some experience with web design and we have already discussed ideas regarding the new council website. In fact I have built a dummy site offline so that I was able to go to the meeting with a concept idea of what the site could look like.

I do hope that I am not spreading myself too thinly with too many fingers in too many pies!

Well that’s enough for tonight got early morning appointment at the church.

I am blaming Christmas for the excessive amount I have spent on my credit card but looking back at my statements online it would appear that I began to lose control of the credit card in April 2012 when I spent a fair amount during the month and did not pay it all off as usual. I know that I went to Warminster around this time and some of the spending was associated with that trip. Looking at May things were getting back on track but in June there was a massive spend (again looks like I was away in North Wales)

Since then it would appear that I have been spending more than I have been paying off at the end of the month which is why I has built up in the way it has.

Looks like this will be my first priority of 2013, without using saving reserves I would estimate that the debt should be cleared by May 2013, maybe a little quicker if I can make savings in others areas.

This time last year I spoke about what 2012 had in store for each and everyone of us – that Mayan thing turned out to be just like every other prediction regarding the end of the world!

New Years Eve was spent quietly at home with a few glasses of booze while watching television and watching the customary firework display down in London in HD (High Definition).

Cooked a gammon joint for dinner on New Years Day and put up two new shelves, the quality is of the shelves is dreadful and I wish I had gotten them from another shop. They will of course serve the purpose I got them for and once they are fully utilised I will access the need to get anymore.

During the afternoon as the weather was unseasonably dry and bright I decided to go to Kidwelly to take a walk along the river, it was nice and gave me the chance to take some photos and for some quiet reflection. Sometimes it is good to be alone with your thoughts, this is one of the reasons I love visiting old churches and spending time in the graveyard just thinking about life and other such deep and meaningful things.

I don’t do resolutions but do want to set myself some goals for 2013 just having some trouble coming up with any, so far I want to –
# Make better use of the food stocks I have at home
# Reclaim the floor space in my living space

Will come up with more and will give them a separate entry.
