hypno - I think paying off £30K on a £50k pre tax salary between you is amazing - shows how much all those extra things you do really add up! I think you were born to be an entrepreneur in another life or something because that is amazing....

Monday morning, and back to work - I don't feel as though I have had a holiday, and certainly don't feel any less tired and wound up, although I am sleeping a little better (still ended up reading at 2am though!).....so I will just have to be aware of how I feel and try not to let it escalate too much.
Off to do scratchcards and banking.....have a good day everyone!Successful women can still have their feet on the ground. They just wear better shoes. (Maud Van de Venne)Life begins at the end of your comfort zone (Neale Donald Walsch)0 -
