Fri 041220 Hot Water bottle burst/Chocaholism

08:51 AM HOT WATER BOTTLE BURST IN BED

So I'm in bed wearing my usual boxer shorts/and, t-shirt...; when, all of a sudden, I notice the back of my boxer shorts are really wet...?! Well, sure enough, when I checked the hot water bottle had burst.

Hot water bottles come with instructions; that you are not to..,

- over fill them

- place boiling hot water inside of them

- place pressure on top of them

...unfortunately, I regularly went and broke all 3 of the above rules.

Luckily, I have some other hot water bottles around here some where...; the only question is where...?! 

BEEN EATING FAR TOO MUCH CHOCOLATE STUFF

Whether I want to admit it or not; I'm actually a 'Chocaholic'; meaning, once, I've opened something chocolate...be it biscuits/sweets...then, I'm never going to stop until when the whole entire packet is gone; then, I wish to go and open more up, as well.

The only way to beat having this type of hopeless food 'addiction' is to not buy any chocolate at all; or, buy as small an amount of chocolate as is possible. So, instead, of buying 10 packs of biscuits; buy, just 1...then, if you run out...that would necessitate another trip going off down the road if you wish to buy more. (I don't like going shopping too much; prefer to do it, once, a week/fortnight; then, that's that all done.)

- Yesterday, I finished off a whole pack of chocolate truffles. 

- Then, this morning I went and finished off a whole pack of chocolate Smarties.

There is one more pack of chocolate truffles still left/and, also, 1 more pack of chocolate Smarties; and, I'm trying so incredibly hard to resist not opening them...?!

(LATEST UPDATE: I already went and opened up the 2nd pack of chocolate truffles.)

Furthermore, the effects on my teeth/weight/mind(lack of will power) is really bad; so, I've really got to stop.

Instead, I should be getting my sugar a lot more naturally...by stocking up/and, eating plenty of fruits. The only trouble there is...whenever I buy fruits...many times, they tend to go off before I eat any. Sometimes, I just have to take all of the fruit; and, dump it in the bin...as I left it far too long, and, now, it's become totally inedible(apples/bananas/-etc.).

At least, with things like biscuits/chocolates...it tends to say 'fresh' for quite a while; though, of course, I realise that's a really poor excuse to continue eating all of that total 'crap'.

Another thing I need to practice cutting down on is 'white' sugar. I need to switch to eating 'brown' sugar; but, right now, in the house...I only have 'white' sugar remaining. I use it to sweeten my tea...2 full table spoons! I think, it might be far better to drink tea with absolutely no sugar at all.

09:17 AM CHECKED MY BANK A/C. - TOTALLY FLAT BROKE!

I just went and checked out what is my bank balance online...; the answer is: £0.17p!

10:15 AM FOUND A MINIATURE/BABY'S HOT WATER BOTTLE 

I was feeling rather 'cold'; so, I decided to go and look to find another hot water bottle; after one had burst. 

Downstairs, I found a miniature baby hot water bottle; which I filled up...and, am currently using.

However, the question remains inside of my mind what did I do with the 2 full size hot water bottles, I had found before? My guess is, I must have hidden them so well...that I just can't find them, anymore...?!

LATEST UPDATE

I tried using the miniature hot water bottle for just 1 day...; at first, the tap tread came out...; and, got stuck inside of the bottle. Then, later on the bottle broke...was leaking water, constantly; so, eventually, I had no other choice but to throw it away.

10:28 AM FOUND 3 X FULL SIZE HOT WATER BOTTLES

After searching for a bit, I found 3 x full size hot water bottles; 2 x red/1 x blue(note: the taps are small/as opposed to regular large size). They were located outside of the bedroom door landing/along the stairs. The only difficulty I can detect is the bottle skin is really 'thin'...as opposed to 'thick'; the thicker ones tend to last lots longer; the thinner ones...I'm really not too sure exactly how long that's going to last for? Hopefully, though, these will last up until when next summer comes.
