FitBit

I wanted a new one as my one busted itself a few months back. By a small miracle it managed to soldier on- i.e. I managed to connect the gadget to its charger with reams of sellotape! 

My mum (and dad) bought me this one for my birthday, which is a beautiful green. I'd like to say I'll be marching up and down the beach path in Pacific Beach to test it out, but thanks to lots of anxiety about flying (which surprisingly came out of nowhere!) and the worry of spending the money, I am still on home turf! 

I really wish I had gone, but weeks of scanning Expedia and watching the price jump up by about £800 every time I put my details in had driven me insane! 

Plus the sensible part of me knows that I have to prioritise potentially moving house above such frivolities of holidaying, so with a heavy heart I am around for (in my view) the worst time of the year. 

I'm already regretting it, but there's always definitely next year!
