  • Thanks Snags-
    I'm not too upset-my only concern is that I am not going to be earning for the whole month of April. Poo.
    If I am 'self employed' at that point doing Vie and Cambridge I will need to work my bottom off in March so I can pay my bills in April! Argh.

    Going to attempt 8 mile run, as had no adverse reaction to 6.5 miles at all, no aches and pains, no niggles, barely any muscle stiffness, so taking that as a sign I'm ready for a slightly longer distance. Want to push quite hard to get to 10 miles, then will just sort of consolidate over spring and start pushing towards 15 miles over summer. _pale_ _pale_ Does that sound reasonable?

    Good luck with the run - just build up steadily and I'm sure you'll get to 15 no problem.

    Try not to panic Bun - work out exactly what needs to be paid out, and when. If you have a clear idea, it will make it easier to focus on finding the money in time.

    Wish I'd known you were going to be a CDC, I'd have done mine through you - we could have done it by post (and the occasional visit) I'm sure. Is there much initial outlay? My CDC makes a good living from it - she does home visits, and she also has a flat weekly fee no matter if you want shakes, bars or tetras - you can buy 7, 14, 21 or 28 items, so it must make it easier to budget for both her and her customers.

    I have put on 1lb so far this week though...grrr to emotional snacking...need to really be :A :A over the weekend to stay the same. :o

    I'd love one, but cant work out if it's worth ordering. Cant do nuts :cool:
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

  • That's brilliant news, bookie! :T :j :T I'm so pleased for you.

    @ Bunny - :grouphug: Hope you find something else soon.

    I've decided to give myself a three day weekend to get some essays done. After a lovely lie-in, I'm just starting to shift out of bed now. I figure if I just split the essay into 500 word chunks, it should be much easier to finish. Then onto feminism over the weekend, then Islam next week. Nose to the grindstone, I'll make it eventually.

  • Spud-can get other things besides nuts-they ask if you are allergic to nuts!

    Snags-once I am up and running with CD I will be happy to supply you with them but it wont be for a month at least. I like how your CDC does it and may consider that. Not sure if I am going to do home visits-want to limit the amount of time I have to travel.

  • Afternoon all,

    The sun is shining and I'm feeling fairly happy!

    Do I or don't I graze?

    Pooky, sorry to hear about your DH. I hope he's feeling a bit better today.
