    You'd think the hairstyle one would be fairly easy Bob but my hair is just way too unruly and I don't have half an hour each morning to tame it! There is a wee (think it's 9 holes) course with a driving range not too far away so will probably go there.

    Good news today is I'm working from home so not using petrol and I've just been to the dentist's who decided after xraying that I didn't need anything doing and for some reason didn't charge for the xray - maybe cos it was their mistake. I hate getting stuff done at the dentist and having to pay for it after is the pits! So today is shaping up to be another NSD. Going to the gym later and then that will be my membership finished (can't make it tomorrow) - feeling sad but still it's another £30 a month closer to DFness! I will rejoin somewhere later in the year hopefully once I'm settled in my nice new home... I can but dream...

    Went to the gym but left early cos I thought I was going to hurl and really didn't want to be remembered as the one they had to wash the floor after. OK now so not sure what's up with me. Bought some drinkies for tomorrow night so not an NSD after all but only spent about £6.

    Well it's the last day of 2008 so having a wee ponder on what I've achieved sadly debt at end of 2009 was £6253 and now it's £5582 so doesn't look like I've achieved much that way but the car was needed! only other major purchases were a holiday and washing machine - one necessary the other not but it was fun... Hopefully this time next year there will be NO debt.
    On a personal note I'm a bit lighter and I told the one I wanted how I felt (which didn't work out but at least I tried).

    So plan for 2009 is still to lose the debt and move out of here. Fingers are crossed and sleeves rolled up - bring it on!

    Off out soon so hope you all have a happy hogmanay and are first footed by someone tall, dark and terribly handsome. See you next year. x
