    Right, I've not done a monthly aims thing for a while, so I'm going to try and get back on track with it!

    July Aims:
    - Lose 5lbs
    - Sort out holiday stuff
    - Put aside holiday spending money
    - Put at least £500 into deposit savings.

    That should do for now! :D

    I couldn't post the second contract stuff off as I needed some information which I'd left at home - d'oh! :doh: so that'll have to go on my list of things to do tomorrow :)

    Right, going to have a relaxing evening with DH - we're having a movie night so we're going to watch The Woman in Black :D I do love a good horror film :D

    Well, I enjoyed the woman in black last night :) made me jump in a couple of places!

    Today's going to be busy again, especially since I've been put on cover on my only free today :mad: :mad: :wall:

    Today's to do list:
    - read through second contract
    - sign second contract
    - post second contract
    - eat healthily!
    - don't buy anything!
    - check online banking
    - ring up car insurance people if there's time
    - fax order through

    Not as bad as yesterday :) the weather is awful here today :( I'm hoping the sun will appear at some point - it's so gloomy otherwise.

    On the way to work today I almost ran over a weasel/stout :eek:I had to break suddely as it came shooting across the road! I'm not entirely sure what it was, but definitely bigger than a mouse :rotfl:I'm so glad I didn't hit it though, I'd hate that...

    Right, must get on!
