The limbs are gradually starting to return back to normal now and I no longer wince walking down stairs
I had to run for a train on Tuesday which was amusing!
Don't feel I've made much progress on the financial front but not sure why? Paid about £1350 off debts this month and I think it paid off about £1,000 after interest. I thought OH was getting his bonus this month but it seems it is next month *sigh* - will just wait yet again as we need to use this to pay for the car.
Have been good on the grocery front this week as we just haven't done any food shopping as the week has been a bit disjointed and we've survived on the cupboard contents! Have sold a lot on ebay which will go towards the holiday fund, but think I am just too tired this week to think about raising money. Think I made about £800 for my fundraising for the marathon which I was really pleased with as I do seem to keep asking people and they always remain so generous.
Still on a bit of a buzz from the weekend and now looking for my next challenge, as if I don't have something to aim for I give up and slob out!1st debt - Next [STRIKE]£583.32[/STRIKE] [STRIKE]£408.71 [/STRIKE] £0 :j
