We have been without a phone line for 4 days, the engineers have just been and fixed the problem. It has been a useful time of reflection, and I now know that for me, the way out of these little ruts I get into is to have a set of small goals that I can monitor progress against. NG and I have been slipping back into 'bad' habits, and we need to stop taking each other for granted. So, for now, my goals are:
+ re-start my exercise routine - two sets of 15 minutes every day + pull a mystery on NG - make him sit back and wonder a little + keep a journal here as best I can
