  • Good afternoon one and all,

    A lovely relaxing day today ticking off the things to do
    Long dog walk this morning
    Run - 4 miles just ticking along nicely nothing speedy right now after that long break
    Washing done and out on the line
    Floors swept and mopped
    Hair treated and masked
    Face exfoliated and treated to a face mask
    Beans boiled after soaking overnight

    Left to do
    Bathroom to clean and hoover the house and ironing - about an hour for all of that
    Another long dog walk
    Tidy my nails up for next week

    Have also found out my goals workbook and discovered that I am achieving the goals I set at some point last year or earlier this year. Will finish off the missing sections I think this afternoon while watching a film if i can find one I want to watch.

    NSD 1 today

    Tea was very nice and filling so have half of it leftover for either tomorrow or Tuesday. A nice easy tea there then!

    Just got a message that the ebay item had arrived safely to the buyer after all that trouble last week. Good stuff and I can transfer the payment onto my credit card tomorrow repaying a further £85 of the debt on that one.

    No spending this week apart from petrol and food shopping so will get in plenty of NSDs in this week.

    Have done a bit more work on the poster this evening and will do some more this week to get it ready for printing on Friday

    Petrol bought today from budget - stuck to the set amount
    Leftovers for tea
    Paid the ebay proceeds onto credit card debt repayment as per the plan
    Went for a run after work - times getting back to normal now and quite tired legs after 3 in a row - day off tomorrow and a long dog walk instead

    Phonecall today from the bank investigating the first set of ppi claims, hmm not sure but the next step is a decision so should find out in the next few weeks.

    One happy person here today. Dropped off poster for printing and collected it on the way home from work. It looks great, they did a great job, as did I , I might add as I designed it! Have submitted electronically meaning - I HAVE FINISHED!!!!!!! At last, it's over and all completed bar the presentation and marking and then waiting to see if I pass.

    What a relief that is after 3 years of hard work, it must pay off surely.

    A nice relaxing weekend in order for me then with a trip to see mum tomorrow, chill out on Sunday and flop around. I will be job hunting, course hunting and general determination to change my career hunting though now I have plenty of time on my hands with hopefully a couple of runs too.

    Also received notification that my complaints to the bank have been received and will be dealt with in 4 weeks time - let's see what happens there then, who knows but it's well worth doing to see.

    How could I forget?

    It's my 1 year anniversary of this particular diary - I will do a round up of all the progress I've made over the last year and boy have I come a long way since this time last year.

    As I have said so many times, if I can do it, so can you, just take the step, face up to it and you'll be on your way.
