    :rotfl:@ your trip analogy Becs, that was awesome and funny!

    Sorry I'm a bit late coming into it but I agree with everyone else about the club job, it's not like you don't work hard and £80 just isn't worth fearing for your welfare and safety. I think that you should assess it when you get back from Borneo and see how you feel then :D

    I soooooooooooo can't wait to see pics!

    Wow it's coming around fast now isn't it!!

    Rainy - I love that idea, not to sound patronising but it's a bit like a reward chart - maybe you could (if it's in budget) set small goals and when you have a certain amount of coloured squares have a mini treat xx

    I love the coloured squares idea - can see me adding yet another thing to my ever growing spreadsheet now! :D

    Thanks Jody, although I seem to have messed up the order of things slightly and already have my eye on the next place I want to go......:)

    It is absolutely like a reward chart! I like that way of looking at it, especially the treat idea :D

    Wow, what a hangover I had on Saturday morning, not good!

    Have realised that if I'm still gonna meet my Dec 2012 goal then I need to catch-up on months when I don't hit my targets and am going to have to aim for slightly higher targets from now, so will now leave past months in my sig till I'm caught up.

    Should hopefully help me keep track! :D
