    Ooh taxi, you were up late/early!

    Not a great start to my morning - I'm so tired that I pressed snooze on my alarm and now feel even worse for doing that. So, for my breakfast I've had an oat and raisin cookie with a cuppa :o could have been worse... according to online sources it's only 175 cals for the cookie, but even so... :o

    Thanks taxi, it just feels like I'm never going to be good enough at the moment, I just need someone to believe in me and give me a job! It kind of feels like our life is on hold until that point, and it's just getting me down :( OH says not to put so much pressure on myself, but, as per usual, it's the money aspect of things that is holding us back. Sigh.

    That said, I'm off out today to put some more money in the house deposit account, so we're still plodding along on that side.

    AIMS/CHALLENGES:

    These are different aims that I can continuing to focus on:
    House deposit Target 1 - £15,000.00/£15,000.00 - DONE! :j :j (05/05/12)
    House deposit Target 2 - £15,140.79/£20,000.00
    [Emergency savings - £900/£5,000.00]
    Weight loss - 17/25lbs

    This is my target bit from the front of my diary, and, as you can see, I've managed to reach my first house deposit savings target! :j :j :j So, I've made a second target of £20,000, which would really go quite a way towards a house.

    Woooo :j :j :j
