  • Nice day off. Did 8.8 mile run, then friends for lunch.


    Frustrating have spent last hour doing banking and noticed that AA has taken money out for breakdown cover that I didn't want or ask for (with RAC) and then email saying half an online order cancelled as not in stock but as on 1 of many gift cards I have had to ring and sort. Both was a wait of over 15 minutes each.
    Good news is now under 6k.


    Work Do tonight, Italian restaurant. Then 21 again tomorrow. So be tea out again.

  • Hi HDK,

    I've only found this site in the summer and have read so many tips and hints to push us forward. .Mmm without sounding stalker-ish , can I just say how impressed I am with your achievements,your masters degree, your job, your family, your weight loss and your fitness/ maintenance and your mortgage reduction. I hope I have some strength and determination to achieve just a couple of these.
