    Thanks I've been thinking about it for a few days as it's an ideal time as the rads finish new years eve and I know I'm still going to be tired at the beginning of the year from the rads.

    Sounds like a great plan taxi - does it mean you'll be leaving though?

    Have had a good think about my hopes and plans for 2011...so here goes

    (1)Start losing weight...10st to shift..will get my WWs books out and take it from there.

    Likewise! Well not WW but weight shifting

    (2)Exercise...need to build this up very slowly...will start with small walks

    Again a likewise (I need to wait until all the snow and ice has gone though)

    (3)Get back to full strength...this will take a good while.

    Looking after yourself will help with this

    (4)Put as much as possible in savings

    Hmm not sure if I want to get savings sorted or clear the CC, I think the latter as the interest is higher than savings rate

    (5)Look into travel insurance..due to having had cancer can be difficult to obtain

    Oooh never thought about that! Aren't there some that are designed for people with medical issues?

    (6)Book 3 weeks holiday in Cuba for January 2012.

    Find out about the insurance and then go for it!

    (7)Renew DHs pssport and check when mine runs out and renew if needed

    Likewise after the insurance issue sorted!

    (8)Be happy

    Work on this one a lot!
