    87p Tilly tidy to cc from food account. The cc's aren't reducing as fast as I would like due to needing to prioritise other things. However a couple of years ago we owed a lot more and the amount is manageable and importantly reducing.

    Dh work are crediting his account with some missing pay whilst they investigate the rest. Its so frustrating that he works so hard and they can't get his pay right. Fingers crossed for some promising news today.

    Am now on day 10 of a cold. I don't get ill and it's really affected my appetite and motivation to exercise. Hoping I am at the end of it now. Am starting the b0dyc0ach plan next week and need to be on top form to get the results!

    Y0ugov has gone quiet.

    62p Tilly tidy from food account.

    Counting down to the weekend, stressed and exhausted and struggling to stay awake past 8:30pm each evening!

    Only working 2 days next week which is practically a holiday when you work full time.

    I woke up this morning hoping it was the weekend, at least its hump day!

    50p on y0ugov after my post last night.

    In comparison when you work weekends and evenings, the whole countdown to the weekend never matters. I always feel like I'm missing out!

    Dh and I used to have our weekend on a Wednesday when we both worked unsociable hours. Took me a long time to get used to Monday to Friday.
