I had a cheat day yesterday, there's a new website that sells near end of shelf life food for super cheap so i ended up buying a bunch of stuff and saving like 70% of the price. It was mostly junk food, crisps, cakes, chocolate; infact there's so much i've just froze most of it. I did manage to to buy a couple of healthy things though, i had a bunch of weight i could add to my box so i also bought 4 tins of 2.5kg chopped carrots. My mother explained i'm awful at shopping; no arguments there. But having that many carrots to eat is going to be very little calories with a lot of stomach space taken up over the next week. (I just don't want to turn orange; i know that shit can happen).

I found out the oil sump i had with my new engine is for a forward wheel drive car and not for a rear wheel drive car so i had to purchase a new one which was £84. Not to mention my top mounts for my car didn't work and i had to return them and get the correct ones; and to add to the nightmare now i have to drill the chassis legs because the nuts inside them are just destroying anything that tries to enter.

Good news is however, the front end of the car is completely welded up. We even managed to paint under the front arches and had to move it back in the yard so i could get some real photo's of it.

It's slowly starting to look like a car again, right?

Now that the front end is done we can start getting the back end started once we get the front rolling again, which does mean sorting the crossmember problem out.

Oh well, not been the gym in 5 days and i'm starting to feel considerably lazy. I weighed myself yesterday and i was 14'12 which is nice, but i imagine i destroyed it with my cheat day. No rest for the wicked, got to get my motivation back and start working hard again.

Puppy is settling in well, she went for her first walk yesterday, i didn't get any pictures; my mum did but you know, here's one of her anyway in the house :).
