A new diary for a new year, yay! You're sounding really upbeat and positive, part two of the trilogy well and truly underway.
Good luck and here's to a successful 2011 :beer:[STRIKE]Total debt 1.11.10 £23,446[/STRIKE]Save £6k in 2015 #129 £6121.66/£6000Save £6k in 2016 #39 £6000/£60000 -

£50 is most certainly excellent value for a few days away, I can spend that without moving off the sofa (damn you Amazon!). Don't worry about posting on the DFW board - its been good for you so far after all!
Camping at Easter sounds fab (and cold!). I know what you mean about friends living too far away, mine are scattered all around the country. And are starting to have kids!! No getting drunk in a field for them!
Okay, it looks like you've set a challenge. I'm in! I'm really unfit but do enjoy the gym when I get there (well, more when I've left, got home, chilled out for 30 mins and patted myself on the back for going!). I tend to use 3 bits of equipment at the gym - cross trainer, treadmill (fast walk) and bike. I also bought some weights and a book a few months ago...have read the book several times but not had the weights out of the box. Oops.
So you've goaded me into 15 periods of exercise this month - gym and weights at home.[STRIKE]Total debt 1.11.10 £23,446[/STRIKE]Save £6k in 2015 #129 £6121.66/£6000Save £6k in 2016 #39 £6000/£60000 -

Sounds like you've had the perfect start to the New Year. 8k run, NSD and a curry for tea! Fantastic start to the exercise thing. Wish I could run, my brother is entered for the London marathon in April and he used to be the most non sporty person in the world. So there's hope for me yet! You still going to go to the gym or just stick with running? You know what the MSE's would say!
Good luck with your goals this week. I reckon you're on a mission this year - I've no doubt you'll achieve everything you want to[STRIKE]Total debt 1.11.10 £23,446[/STRIKE]Save £6k in 2015 #129 £6121.66/£6000Save £6k in 2016 #39 £6000/£60000 -

You will have £100 left on payday....
I know what you mean about back to work blues - and I didn't even have much time off! Its always so hard to get back into things, seems everyone is feeling the same at the moment. Hang in there, payday is just round the corner.
Good plan re the gym. You less achy today?[STRIKE]Total debt 1.11.10 £23,446[/STRIKE]Save £6k in 2015 #129 £6121.66/£6000Save £6k in 2016 #39 £6000/£60000 -
