Well done on the race IMD and then doing the ironing..WOW0

Wow de Wee! Thank you for all your well done messages - very pleased
Absolutely amazingly my legs feel fine tomorrow, but I did spend some time massaging them last night so that must have helped. I have even run upstairs today :eek: Going to have a bath now and massage again just to ward off nasty aches tomorrow.
Had an ok-ish day. Silly really, I think the euphoria of the race being over when I have looked forward to it for ages, then annoyed with OH at lack of praise and general looking after me when I get home and then money issues just made me want to cry today! Felt really proud when I got home yesterday and it's a huge stress reliever for me but when I come home the same old issues are there.
Spent all day doing Ebay and had a few emails about things not fitting people (like it's my fault but it's so much mither and negative feedback if I don't refund) and I just got annoyed and upset about the debt. Spoke to OH, and it's good that we can now talk about it, but then he went and brooded over it. Arrggghhh!

Feeling a bit brighter today, I think "meh" was a most accurate description Hypno
Did about 40 things on Ebay and a whole lot more to do but hey ho, it all brings money!
Checked online banking and OH's expenses have gone in which means there's enough money therefore car insurance to be paid in full :j Am currently on target for finishing the month within my overdraft having paid out money for medical excess, trainers, car insurance and have money in savings - it's all good!
Need to check when money has been transferred over on various cards so that I can move it back to fixed rate cards and actually reduce the money this month. Would just like a clear month with no credit card shuffling and make some good £1200 progress!
Off to do work now, have a good day everyone
