Wow MacGirl lots of good thinking going on I really like KMs idea of the DD - two benefits you will know if your budgeting is realistic and you will pay your debt off quicker :T
I too have pushed things to the limit in the past and it does push me to do what needs to be done otherwise I am one to let things drift - but sometimes the balance has got out of hand as you know from my diary the clothes business was a case in point and I am so glad I have addressed that - so remember to try and take a balanced view as well - and then go for it:)

Hi BTD - yes, diet on track(ish
). Not lost any more, but not put on - think I'm converting it to muscle - that's my excuse anyway 
By the end of this week though I WILL have lost weight! Hope you're doing well.
Hi DT, thanks for your kind words of encouragement. I've got everything into perspective now. We know what we want to aim for and equally we know where we need to be before we make any steps forward. I put pressure on myself setting dates, so we've decided that if it's next year, then so be it.
I had to warn DH yesterday that I the agent might ring to arrange an appointment
He jested his answer when they rang "Hello, no my wife organised it and she's not here right now - she's in Cuckooland" :rotfl: Cheeky 0 -
Good Morning - raining here which is good for the garden and apt for a Monday morning

50p and 20p in scratchland today, so I requested £5.35 payout.
Best news is I have a bid on the Car - Whooohhoooo!!! :j
I was half thinking it might not sell, but there has been lots of interest with loads of questions and watchers. Annoyingly I forgot to post the questions for all to see, as that stokes up the interest a bit more - :wall:
Am aiming for a NS WEEK this week - I'm really on a mission.
Hope you have a good one - off to work now

Thanks Gill!
Managed an NSD today, so one down 4 to go. I am away for a meeting on Wednesday, so that will cost me - we have a dire expenses policy - so will try and take a packed lunch, otherwise will try and avoid any spends of any kind.
Not a bad day today, a few colleagues are stuck at various points around the World - not good.
We had a lovely picnic (with wine
) yesterday whilst the kids played hide & seek. The weather wasn't as good as the day before but it was very relaxing which was good as I was aching after the run - it felt like one leg was longer than the other when I reached 6 miles - most bizarre 
I feel like I've got some energy this evening - which is rare for a Monday, so I'm going to have a mooch for a bit, then tackle the ironing.
Hope anyone reading has had a good day
