    Results are meant to be up today. Feel sick. Have a horrible feeling they won't be up today for some reason.

    Results back, 2 > 90%, and one between 85-90%. That will do! The last one was the one I was worried about, assignment brought me down but I managed to get 90% in exam to bring me up.

    I am so so so happy that's over.

    Went to Tesc0 for veggies today, tagliatelle with mince, with a sauc of onion, tomato, peppers, passata, basil, cress. Cup of peppermint tea. Was yummy. Trying to be healthier, but think my portion control is still wrong.

    MF news, nothing. Need to phone Np0wer, British G@s, and the british telephone one to sort things out!

    Great work, Calfuray! :T
    a penny picker upper. MFW approx 78% to go | FIRE 3 years worth (30% savings rate: now aiming for 40%!) | Normality is a paved road; it's comfortable to walk, but no flowers grow on it | Whatever you're meant to do, do it now. The conditions are always impossible | The only thing you absolutely have to know, is the location of the library

    Well done, that's great :T
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
    :) Mortgage Balance = £0 :)

    Thanks Tilly, Pearla, SS, GG, MWC and Fortune :) Just need to keep it up for the next year and a half! I know some mistakes I made this semester so plenty to work on.

    Now, I need to declutter :( The flat is a state. It's such a big job it is hard to get started. Determined to get started today!

    Yesterday I started with my aim to be healthier. Without going into a big long ramble, it's something I've always struggled with. With my wedding coming up this year, I also want to feel like I look good, feel good, and fully enjoy both the day and any honeymoon we may have. I especially don't want to not be able to do the things I want to do - canoeing, swimming etc because I feel put off with my weight. I know it's taken a while to put it on and it will take a while to get it off, but any progress is good progress, right? Same as the mortgage I figure! Onwards and downwards!

    Anyway, I won't bore people with the details, but I thought I'd post on here, more as a diary to myself so I can keep track of calories and to have some sort of accountability. I've also joined MFP.

    Hopefully this should work out with moneysaving too, less money on groceries etc!
