    I went to a BBQ last night, drank far too much wine and threw up when I got home - am clearly out of practice!

    Felt too rough to do the car boot, so I treated myself to a bacon and brie toastie and a proper coffee with my friend. It felt good to treat myself for a change.

    I have decided to go back to the gym once a week as I am really missing my best friend. We talk everyday on the phone, but I used to see her 3 times a week.

    Debt-free and Proud!
    Hope you feel a bit less hung over. Can't take my drinking like I used to be able to. 1 pint of beer or two glasses of wine, that's your lot. Anymore results in one of two things 1. Fall asleep 2. Throwing up exorcist style. That toastie sounds lovely.

    Had a down day today, for the first time in my life I just wanted to get back in bed and cry all day. That is just not me.
