    Hey, I'm back!!!! :D

    Sorry I became very rubbish at updating on here while away, hopefully you all caught the updates on FB anyway.

    So, back at work and severely jet lagged and it's my birthday, what a Monday morning :(

    Just going through my spreadsheets now and hopefully get some figures sorted soon.

    And then the immense task of catching up on all your diaries! :D

    I had an amazing time, thank you! :D

    Been weird being back at work and have spent the morning going through my spreadsheets trying to get my head round them again.

    Kicking back in with an overpayment of £607.94 though, so all set to get back to the debt-busting!

    Thanks Pennies :)

    I'm not allowed to put any pictures of me and the orangutans on FB, or the internet in general, but if anyone wants to see them then just PM your email address and I can send you a few to have a nose at :)

    Just thought I'de wade in and say i have subscribed to your diary, an interesting read. Its good to know Im not the only one who has only just got my head around the "not quick enough" problem. Slow and steady :) if I stay true to that I wont go far wrong. My problem in the past is to try and do too much too quickly. Happy Birthday.
