    Big hugs MandP. Sounds like he just doesn't want to know hun. must be such hard work. Really admire you.
    Elly hope you have a productive hump day.lol!!!
    Yukki hope things start taking off for you. you have lots of ideas and work really hard so am sure itwill do soon.
    Think DD may be geting the lurgy. she was very wakeful last night and quite hot at one point. Ds was really pleased lats night to have his last spoon of antibiotics - he's hated the taste of this one so it was like a mini celebration for him to get to the end of the course.
    I'm the only one up at the moment (except DH at work) so not going to put fat bottomed girls on just yet Elly.hehe.

    Morning all,

    Just checking in. Still mooching around but not got much to add. Have had negative weight loss since my holiday so must get back on that from today. Also failed miserably in my attempt to stop smoking but to the plunge and joined a stop smoking group at work ran by the NHS service yesterday. I have had a read through the leaflets and think I will try the inhalator for my first attempt. Need to decide on a quit date so have chosen 20th June father's day.
    Would like to: Retire at 54. 19yrs .Clear mortgage by 50. 16yrs. Clear Secured debts by 43. 8yrs.Clear Unsecured debt by 39. 4yrs. Gain full control of my finances by 36. 1yr.Keep my head above water. Today.

    Cagne I just love how you phrased that. really made me smile.
    Good luck with the no smoking.
    with the weight loss it doesn't matter if you fall off for a bit so long as you get back to it again and thats what you are doing.
    Hope you are OK otherwise. You seem a bit quiet at the moment. hope thats just a dribblers thing and that you are not getting down in the dumps. As you know we are always here if needed.
    Love your attitude to things generally and the way you have approached the challenge has been really great to see.

    Thanks Jo,

    Just a bit quiet as need to put things in perspective a little. having the holiday made me realise how much time I don't spend with my kids because of work and being sat at the pc at home, no point trying to make money if there's no time to enjoy it or no-one to enjoy it with. Still waiting for my PPI money to come through and did ok with challenge last week but just not having any new ideas of my own at the moment, although still coming on here and reading what I can when I can.

    Cagne I'm sure your DW and kids really appreciate some extra time with you and sure you love it too.
    Sounds like a good thing to come out of your hols.
