    Thanks MrsA, am feeling much more like my old self, just don't like loosing money, however its now pretty much sorted so thats a relief!! Glad you are also starting to feel like your old self after your illness, must be tough.

    Mogchops, i know!! The garden was already well and trully overgrown when we moved in, so is requiring a lot of work! Determined to keep cracking away at it though so that i can start having barbeques in it. That is actually dfw as i have two brand new barbeques in the garage, waiting to be used!! Thanks for the positive words of encouragment.

    Wahey, sorted out TC, they have been saying for months that they have overpaid me, but it looks like they messed up my self employed period, and the guy reckons I should get a back payment once its all sorted....phew!

    Andan, well done on the garden! That truly is an unruly place! It will be so great to spend time in once its sorted :) Really liking the 101 things in 1001 days, is that a personal challenge? I wouldnt mind sorting something like that for myself. I kinda started it at the beginning of jan 09, though I havent really numbered anything, just started to work my way through the things I keep saying I will do but tend to not get round to!

    Great news on hopefully getting more money and glad they have now almost finally sorted it.

    The 101 challenge is a challege i found out about from mse and pavlovs dog. Here is the thread link.

    There are a few of us doing it and most of us have blogs and read one anothers post and cheer each other on. There is a great bunch of people.

    Here is a link to the proper website where the challenge was first thought up. Would be nice to have you on board and its amazing how much it changes you and your perspective and what you get done:D

    You know what i'm like with lists:rotfl:Took me half a day to pick the ones i really wanted on there. some peoople have taken several weeks to come up with their list, so there is no rush to write it. Its a challenge for two and a half years, so you get to put on whatever you want to achieve in that time period. Some people have started it without actually having 101 things wrote down yet and intend to add them as they go along. Its whatever works for the individual.:smiley:

    OOOOH!! The 101 things is fantastic. I will use it to make list of things that makes me closer to do my dream job and the time scale seems managable. I will start on April on my 40th birthday and so I should be in my dream job by midish January 2012 - WOOHOO!! Thank you so much!

    Ok - 32 done, if I get eight more I am in 40 and I am sure that when I get going I will get a lot more so will start with 40 methinks...

    40 done, chuffed...
