Feeling very lazy today. I was going to go running today but I'm feeling a little run down and have a sore throat so am going to leave it until tomorrow. Need to decide what we are having for dinner and do some piano practice before my lesson later.

A couple of questions, firstly coin dozer...how does that game end? I seem to have all the pieces of the puzzle so I am no sure if it just keeps going after that or not. Secondly...candy crush. I stupidly started this game but I am not a fan of advertising my life on facebook, is this the only free way to unlock higher levels? If it is I may pack it in now and look for a new game.

I may be rubbish at answering any mortgage queries, however coin dozer never appears to end - I am on level 250 (or something like that) if you go onto the fairground there are other 'stalls' with more puzzle pieces. The thing I like about CD is no brain power required which suits that tiny wee spongy thing in my head:D

Brilliant going on the fitness/health AJ, very impressive indeed:T

I am on 145 so I guess I have a way to go yet :eek:

I have decided the reason I am rubbish at meal planning is I am trying to run before I can walk. I am not going to worry about this week but from next week I am going to try and plan meals weekly, it should work better with our routines. I can then try weekly shopping but buying and cooking in bulk when required. I am also going to try and budget weekly for food from our monthly budget. If when I get this working I will try fortnightly etc.

Still on the subject of CD, all my prizes (except coins) register as 'won' even if they fall off the sides:D

Mine do too but they didn't at first. I have been wondering if it comes to an end after I get the 6 of the cars, whistles etc as I am sure I have all the prizes for the stands too. When I first started the game I waited for coins all the time, I permanently have about 500 now! Mr AJM has introduced me to a couple of games that involve my brain but it is nice to go back to CD for a bit of brain dead fun

We have just had a long chat. Mr AJM doesn't feel as though he has any purpose at the mo/is worried about money even though we still have some left at the end of the month and generally doesn't seem too happy. He is not sure if he feels this way after turning 50 or not but he is not sure what he wants to do to feel better about things. We are considering taking up a new hobby that we would both enjoy but I don't just want it to be another expense as we have noticed we seem to get more things but that 8 years ago we were just as happy with much less. I have wondered what volunteering things are near us that may give us more purpose and we can spend time doing without spending however we have such ad hoc schedules that it would need to be something we do when we have time but that we don't feel guilty if we can't get there. We shall see.

I'm sorry to hear that Mr AJ isn't feeling the best, and perhaps as you say, turning 50 may be a milestone that is just making him take stock of all things financial and perhaps goals he would still like to achieve. I think that considering volunteering is very admirable of you.
