    Hi everyone,
    Have decided that enough is enough, I need to get motivated on money-making again.

    Went for a viewing at 9am this morning, 8am UK time. Didn't get to sleep until 5am, due to terrible stomach aches...seem to feel nauseas and get bad headaches a lot recently. Feel very sick just after eating, and it tends to fade, but it's always bad around 9/10pm usually until sleeptime. Had seen the apartment before, through an estate agent, but we didn't tell the owners that. Lucky really because it was being repainted, and everything had been taken out. It's cheaper to go direct through the owners, so we are meeting on Monday to discuss contracts etc.

    Feeling snowed under with work, which should be a good thing, but it doesn't feel it. OH is a bit happier today, he woke up to a lot of information about his course, which I think cheered him up a bit. It will really boost his career, especially if we decide to go back to the UK...He still has his old job to go back too when the office reopens next year, in October.

    Anyways, I need to get moving with everything. I just don't know where to start, and on a prehistoric internet connection, it's really slow!
