LBM in 2003.. What have I been doing since??!

Thanks all, blimey I have been MIA..sorry. RL is full on, too full on. I am now about to collapse in a heap and thank goodness that I don’t need to go out again. Have a cold and feel shattered. Think a hot bath and a glass of wine may be in order. In that order or in parallel...:think: :rotfl:
Hope everyone is doing well. It’s a stressful time money wise isnt it? Balancing expectations of time, money, gifting etc...and the year end suddenly meaning everything I have put off at work suddenly needs completing. I also don’t like the dark cold nights, makes me feel cold inside and stops me running. I am also carrying a lot of paperwork to and from work in a rucksack and it gives me hip strain which stops me running...I need to change this I think as I am hoping to take part in a race in the Spring and at this rate it just won’t happen as I won’t have put in the miles.
YNAB is looking a mess. Lots of red. But probably salvageable...must take a look over the weekend. Paying in advance for holiday stuff hasn’t helped at all..but very keen not to just put it on a card... right behaviours....just trying to wrestle with the consequences!!!
Some nice things sorted for the weekend. Will try and read diaries this evening and also keep in touch a bit more.
Lots of hugs

Hey Brizzle how you doing? assuming RL is just as crazy and busy getting ready for being away. Hope you're getting some time to enjoy stuff and things. Make sure you are taking care of your self (particularly carrying large amounts of paperwork around in snow and ice)
I'm not running either and I don't like it, must get back on the horse.
