    Buffy!!
    Where did you disappear to (other than Manchester).

    It seems like ages since i've seen you around here.

    Hope you're doing okay and trying to pace yourself rather than taking on the whole world at the one time.


    Hello George!(((hugs) looke like you debt is coming down too!! excellent.

    Well, its been an up and down couple of weeks. Work is still a big mill stone to drag around, met a friend who does supply and her life whilst not easy seems a lot less pressurised. as I sit here I have three set of books and two lots of Assessements plus a pile of corsework to mark, plus e mails re coursework.

    its not all needing to be done for tomorrow(one set of books, 1 assessments and the paper coursework.)

    Money wise things are not so hot. The dentist is going to cost an extra two hundred pounds. Can't believe I spent 1100 pound yesterday and still have 1159 to pay. I really need to double check I have that. I know i have most of it saved up. its all so depressing.

    In theory with all my pots of money I am now - or rather as from Monday sub 17,000. between the fish tank, vet bill, and now the dentist the challenge isn't going very well.

    I do need to go check all my online stuff.

    In other non money related news, I entered the 10 km race in Leeds. I still need to book hotel accomadation

    Overall I feel better but at this precise moment in time am a little freaked out!

    hmmm.

    see yo laterxx

    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    that coupled with bidding on mongalian cushions and African land snails, I reall ydo think I have gone mad.

    In other good news, it turns out I do have enough money for the dentist already saved, and I have shifted some money round to cover the extra and HOPEFULLY extra on the CC so long as I don't have any suprises.

    hmm this being vaguely finiancially organsied is a weird feeling!

    just Avon left to figure out

  • Have found a 12 week plan to get you from couch potatoe to running a 10 km race.

    I am giving up on the diet thing. I am figuring its not so much what I eat - ie the volume but that I do not exercise. cos in the last year i haven't put any on, therefore i am hoping the getting off the backside thing will do something in that department. Plus which I am sick to death of beating my self up about what I eat at work and then coming home and beating up myself then too.

    Hi Buffy

    This sounds like a great plan, I am the queen of beating myself up - then feeling worse and achieving nothing! :o

    Good luck with the running plan x
