    Struggled through school today, as I've been feeling pretty rubbish all day.

    It's been another NSD, and I'm off to bed again - I don't have time to be ill!

    I'm off work today; still not better :( I've slept on and off most of today, but still feel pretty rubbish. I'm hoping to be back at work tomorrow though.

    Positives are that it's been a NSD :) me and DH are going to watch a dvd tonight and have a relaxing evening - not all bad :) now, if I could get rid of this cough which makes me sound like I smoke 60 a day...! (I've never smoked in my life) it would be perfect.

    Second day at home from work; I feel really guilty but when the alarm went off at 6:30 this morning, I just felt awful and the thought of leaving my bed was too much :o

    On the plus side, it's been another NSD for us - guess being ill has some perks ;) we're having a real comfort tea tonight - sausage, chips and beans :o I know it's not healthy, but it's something I need... :o:)

    I can't believe it's the end of January! So, end of the month update :)

    • We've OP'd £354.53 which is £4.53 over target :)
    • We've put £454.16 into savings which is under our target of £500 but I'm not too worried :)
    • Managed 20 NSDs, which meant we hit out target :)
    • We went £62.33 over budget in our general spends, which is slightly frustrating but I had forgotten about the car insurance, so it could be worse.
    Aims for February:
    • 18 NSDs
    • An OP of £350
    • Savings of £500
    • Don't go over budget in general spends!
    Work has been manically busy the past week, and I still don't feel 100% so it's been long. I was supposed to go to the gym tonight after school but instead I'm sat on the sofa in my pjs watching a rubbish film.
    Here's to February :beer:
