    Hi Natty, do regale us with mishaps, my life is full of spreadsheets and global carp right now

    I know there's still tomorrow to go, but quite honestly I have been so incredibly well behaved it's unnatural....I do have 3 separate meetings to attend though so plenty of opportunity to revert to form:D

    Im happy, but generally rarely any other. Was very grumpy few days pre birthday but ok now as can't stop the sands of time.

    Have got loads of little jobs done after work and now have 2 weeks off bar a few extra shifts which will all be paid at overtime rate.

    Have beautiful house, lovely family, cuddly cats, reasonably well paid and interesting / challenging jobs and making a real sustained effort to beat that morgage down but hey, if I stopped overpaying today, life would still be good as being morgage free is the icing not the cake.

    Doing nasty horrid course but no matter what, by october will be done, and it was paid for and they have also agreed to give me a four days off study time.

    Have had a lovely zumba, have danced about like a looney and dont care who sees me.

    Heard about a mate whose DH has been made bankrupt and another friends DH died of cancer last year so consider myself very lucky. I would like to be thinner but that won't happen unless I make it so but if thats all I can complain about....

    Now this pic makes me smile

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
