Motivating myself to stick to healthy habits.

I feel like you could be describing me Helen. If procrastination and lack of motivation were an Olympic sport, I'm fairly sure I would have a large collection of gold medals. 

Several months ago I had made my mind up that I was going to get into the habit of going for a daily walk around my local playing field. Has it happened? Nope!

As for my eating habits, they're horrendous. Give me a multi-pack of crisps and I'd probably devour the lot within a day or so. If there is something I enjoy that is deemed unhealthy, I have no self-control whatsoever.

So, in response to your question, you have probably already figured out that I have no tips to share. 

No tips but makes me feel a bit better due to solidarity Triker!

Oh sorry I mean Sparkly!!

I love these comments it reminds we of my lovely Gran who used to go through the family and close friends until she got the right one, male or female but I don't recall her getting confused with a pet.

I've never met anybody doing it this way

I always used to think the name mixing was a female thing, but I'm glad I spotted your comment because I now realise it can obviously happen with males too.

I tend to mix names as well. If I can't recall the correct one I sometimes use a different one before I manage to stop myself

I find that hilarious... particularly the part about your mum calling you the cats' names.

When my dad was alive, my mother often call me his name when talking to me on the phone. Had she called me the name of one of her sisters, I wouldn't have minded. Another thing she used to do was to refer to my grandma (my dad's mum) as "your mother" when talking to me, resulting in me reminding her that it was her daughter she was talking to and not her husband. 

I remember the grandson of one of my dad's cousins telling me that she (his grandmother) would reel off a whole host of names until she got to the right one.
