    Not much happening here, studying and builders in at new place. Volunteering thing causing issues too so not sure if I'll have to give that up.

    But today's big problem is how does Skinty fit all her lovely bedroom furniture in new room - for a huge room it's very badly laid out! Lots of shelves for books though...:D

    Builders are still in but only a day here and there so taking ages (getting good deal at mates rates so can't really moan too much), we've been stripping wallpaper too.

    I have worked out how to fit the furniture in the bedroom :D

    Trying to save money so travelling by bus as it's cheaper but hate it! Only in a couple of days a week now so not so bad. Saving money on food too and dieting so saving lots in crisps, chocolate and wine :o

    Not much change here, builders are still working at the same pace but nearly done now so we'll be able to do more of our stuff. Have been doing some electrical work with my dad, it's exhausting but nice spending time with him.

    Still on the bus, still hating it but only two days next week, two the following and that's me off - exam end of April and I've two pieces of work to do before then so need to get stuck in. Met dissertation supervisor and she's happy with my idea so will need to do some work on that over the summer too, as well as selling my flat, decorating new place and getting a job...if someone could conjure me up a couple of extra days a week I might manage it all:D

    DS has a wee part time job so slightly less of a financial drain and he's admitted he finds it more difficult to spend money he earned than mine (put your own rolling eye smiley there).

    Diet going well and mileage for running now up - 10km is a wee run now:D

    Am I allowed to laugh hysterically rather than roll my eyes! He's learning a good lesson.

    Very impressed with your running. I've just printed off a training schedule for RFL. Will start running next week once financial year is over.
