I've taken a bit of a step back with regards to finances/mse in general and it's done me the world of good. I feel that I can get a bit obsessive about money, which is not a good thing. I need to make sure we're having a life at the same time.

I understand. I've challenged myself to exercise 2,013 kms and that's helped me to stop staring at financial spreadsheets, lose my obsession and get healthy.

Another week done and another weekend to enjoy me and DH are going out later, which should be nice.

I've written another blog post today, including a picture of the cats - they are funny

Happy weekend everyone!

So, for the regular mortgage payment and the overpayment in March, our interest a day on the mortgage has gone from £10.98 a day to £10.89 which is pretty good

We got a book case today from Homebase, but we used our nectar points to get it, so it didn't cost anything our living room is coming along nicely, in fact it's nearly finished! We could do with a corner tv unit, as the tv is just perched on a side table, but we're struggling to find one that will fit in - it's quite a narrow space. So, we'll keep plodding along with that

We had a nice tea tonight - greek salad with some tomato flatbread. An easy tea, my favourite

All sounding good

Another week is over, almost - and back to work tomorrow

I need to get my focus back, it's slipped over the holidays I need to look at our long term goals, and where I want to be by the end of the year. I've been reading some interesting blogs over the holidays, and it's made me think about things (again!)

This evening is going to be spent relaxing, and preparing for the week ahead. It's going to be interesting....!

Over half way through the week :j :j

It's not been too bad so far, but then Thursdays are my worst day ho hum, we shall see!

We were meant to be having chicken fajitas for tea, and I took some chicken out of the freezer to defrost this morning, but when I opened it, it had gone all funny? It's only been in the freezer about a month, so not too sure why that has happened? Anyone any ideas? So, just had to have something else from the freezer. Bit annoying, but not sure why.

NSD today, so not all bad
