    Hi binky - enjoy!

    Only one sentence to alter in the methods section now - will do this another time and either add to it or take it out.

    Onwards and upwards with the literature review today.

    Have been out for the usyal - this week - long dog walk and now ready to start once I've had a coffee and worked out where to start!

    Draft 1 sent off for comments - early stages - still have plenty of work left to do on it but I would like an idea if I'm on the right track or not.

    Having a rest now by taking the dog for a walk and cleaning the bathroom - oh the life!

    Extra CC payment paid as per the plan as it's payday. Also gas and electric monthly payment made to keep on track as usual with the quarterly bills.

    Payday today and all I will spend on is petrol and do the food shop and that's it!

    Not counting bill payments as they are a necessity not a luxry and for my NSD's I can still count them if all I spend is on necessities like bills or stay within budget limits for food and petrol.

    Didn't do any more uni work last night as I'd had enough after yesterday. Might do some this afternoon if I get around to it

    Budgets drawn out for food and car.

    Came in under budget for food shop which was a good start to the week. Only a few bits left to get for work next week but I just couldn't carry them all today!

    This month is going to be a hard month but I'm well prepared for the hard work ahead so here I go!

    What did I do today?
    Long dog walk around country park
    Walk to town and did the weekly shop
    Went to visit my friend not seen for ages and caught up with a big old chin wag about life etc
    Long dog walk around nature reserve
    Cleaning and bedding change and duvet change to a lighter weight one

    Just leaves a hoover to do and all is done for this week!

    Off to visit mum tomorrow which I'm looking forward to, then on Sunday is a run and study - needs must though!
