    Right - Easy list today, as want to concentrate on Blasting Through! Have lugged 5 boxes of stock out the spare room ready!!

    florence was great! although I felt about 100yrs old yesterday, I'm 26 but my feet were killing, my back was hurting... ended up sitting outside for a bit so I could still hear but wasn't squished in!

    Hugs to everyone and well done for all your smilies!

    I signed up last night to do the Race for Life in July, to help motivate me with my running as I want to try and run the whole way. I've never run more than 100metres in my life so it will be interesting to say the least.


    Today:

    occupational health appointment :D
    call work to update them :D
    running and swimming
    stick to SW plan
    UNI WORK
    have a nap as i feel permanently exhausted right now!
    decide what to have for dinner
    get in touch with utilities for moving house

    Didn´t get round to doing much of my steps over the weekend so will spread these out through the week. Have to wait in today for a collection so can´t really do much! :( On a positive note I have an interview tomorrow :T its only at a petrol station but extra money is extra money and we can live off one wage and use the other to pay off our debts and save our mortgage deposit! :) I hope I get it! It would be a big help financially.

    Only going to give myself a few steps today.

    1. Tidy up DONE
    2. Get collection out of the way DONE
    3. Get dressed DONE
    4. Pick oldest son up from school DONE
    5. Take youngest son to doctors appointment DONE
    6. Apply for some jobs DONE
    7. Cook chilli for tea
    8. Have a rest!!

    Freebies: Redken hair product, Cow teddy, Pebble grey illuminated compact mirror.
