The best version of me!

Not been around for a while but I feel it's time to get some focus back and start actually achieving a few things 
A bit about me - I'm in my 40's and live alone as a long term, but not sad, singleton in a rented apartment. I work full time in a job I mostly like but which doesn't really have prospects, and a long commute. Four years ago I was in £30k of debt which I have been slowly but surely paying down whilst still trying to have a life. Need to work out my current total but hopefully I am heading towards half way now
Over the last few months I have been drifting along, not really keeping an eye on my spending and not sticking to my diet
So here I am, back again, and hoping to work towards 'the best version of me' as we head towards the end of another year!
Please feel free to nag me to help keep me on track - I'm sure there will be ups and downs along the way - and of course, plenty of shoes! :j

Sometimes it's hard to walk in a single woman's shoes - that's why we need really special ones!

Have just ordered a DKNY watch (using Nectar points converted to Amazon vouchers) which I have been coveting for a while so a nice little treat to arrive next week! An 'free' too!
And I've booked 5 days in Spain for 2nd Sept! :j Have been procrastinating about going away all year but just decided I need some sun! Certainly need to sit down and do some serious budgeting now! But I'm sure a week in the sun will be worth it! The bikini countdown begins!
... am guilty of lurking for quite some time in the hope of seeing you post again
