Thank you
Am feeling really positive about finances as we both seem v v focused with it. The best thing is that we are still going out and doing things, rather than a complete clamp down on everything and so it feels a lot more achievable.
Am of course niggled about the health issue but I really do think it is probably nothing and so no point brooding over it.

Wowee, IMD: get you today! Talk about an MSE marvel: you'll be giving Hypno a run for her money soon, at this rate! :T
What more can I say? Apart from a hungry puppy and a potential health problem, things are looking rosy. I bet having OH on-board is making things a lot easier, even it it's just by reducing your stress levels cos you don't have to explain things again and again...and again...and again...and...zzz...
I hope things keep going as well as they are and...SEVEN WEEKS until the marathon?! I hope you've got those trainers to get them broken in before the big day! :jPlease call me 'Pickle'

I don't do anything any more remarkable than a lot of others on this site! I just waffle a lot on my diary giving people the impression that I do:o:o

Hey IMD - that is so fab on all your progress! V Well done esp on the shopping budget, I know how hard that is. We had £210-worth delivered last night (free delivery though....v MSE) but it did include 15 packs of 4 rolls-a pack kitchen paper, 25 tins of tomatoes, 7 bottles of fabric conditioner, meat etc for meals - generally all the bulk buy staples that it is so boring to go to the shop and get.....so it should see us through for the month. Makes me feel a bit guilty, bizarrely, as if not v MSE, but think it is, as my time is also money.....
Anyway, sending best wishes for a happy few days....weekend soon...
