    Wow - a brilliant day today! :T:T:T
    You will feel great once the decorating is finished - it will be all fresh and new!

    Hope you enjoyed the solace and DVD - did you have time to let rip with a pillow punching session too?! Don't forget that one ;) Have a nice evening x

    No pillow punching required today.....

    It will take me a while to get the house decorated, but if it is done by the end of the summer, and the garden is kept nice after all the work we did in it last year, then I will be more than happy with things.

    Glad to hear it - you definitely sound more like yourself today.
    I'm glad the few days off have focused your mind.

    Sounds like you'll be in for a lovely Summer - start saving for the Pimms :)

    You sound SO focused, it's brilliant that you are within budget for the decorating as it will make such a difference to you for such little cost. Even better you've got something planned for when the kids are away.

    What are you up to this evening? Are the kids back now?

    Remember to put your running stuff out.........

    I'll second that. Just been celebrating with a friend via text the fact that it was gone 5 and still light. Yipee!!!

    I needed something after spending about 2hours (when I intended 15 mins max) trying to rejig/get a better grip on what I am actually spending not what I think I am. I am scared stiff of numbers and get most of my income weekly but my DLA monthly so have been trying to work out my real monthly income/expenditure.

    Luckily I don't suffer headaches much but confusion that's another story lol!

    You did really well with the B&Q trip.
