    Thank you, hopeful viewers fell in love with the place!

    8.25 mile run this evening, just what I needed. Feels so good to be running regularly again. Ran with a friend and we are going to do it every week gradually increasing distance. We managed to talk the whole way so could push even harder!

    SHS, bt have been a nightmare, wanted to charge us for our account number, had to increase package as they were charging us extra for Internet use amd don't get me started on the non-existent reward card they advertised! Shocking service. I can cancel in 4 months, can....not.....wait. Did you manage to get out of contract?

    Feeling proud of myself, came home from run in time for fizzy Friday. I had a glass of water amd a bowl of fruit with yoghurt! I can do dry January!

    I have complained to them again today, seriously getting ridiculous now.

    Thanks bookworm, you too. Feels like a big anticlimax now all the viewings are done!

    Top up shop today and spends updated. Hoping petrol prices stay low as I am saving about £20 a month filling my car :)

    Car tyres replaced and electrical fault assessed but not fixed. Part cost currently unknown :eek:

    Had to use some savings to cover car repairs so had to shuffle £300 to balance things. So frustrating when savings are earmarked for something else! We really need very minimal spending from now until payday. Just over a week to go!

    Have put some lott0 tickets on. No chance of the biggie but hopefully another prize will come my way!

    Currently feeling drained, whining, impatient and demanding children here today!! <ignores stash of alcohol in the corner> it's okay, I have prepped a juice! Spinach, walnuts, powdered goodness, grapes and melon will re-energise me!
