    Soon to be dwarfed by the car bill I think:mad: which has spoiled it somewhat. Never mind, I too have wine and there is cheese in the fridge. :D

    Well, I am overpaying the loan, I don't have a rolling CC bill - it is cleared each month. I have started driving lessons, the second job is great, the first job is still !!!! but hey! I am going out more and do have good friends. Even dabbled in the murky world of online dating. Not that I met any one !!!!

    BUT. I am behind at work, WAY behind in MA stuff and generally still drowning in clutter, always late, can't sleep and getting fatter. I am a bit tidier but really lay awake panicking about stuff esp to do with work.
    Some nights I am not getting even four hours sleep.

    Of course in true Buffy Style I have bought (I know!!) a book on decluttering (as much the same as you sarah I seem to spend so much time sorting out stuff and making no or very little difference) and so shall make a plan based around

    walking for exercise
    decluttering
    sleeping better
    getting a date (if not a whole man!!)

    so I will let you know what I find!

    xxxxx
