Hi DDFW, how are you doing - sorry about my long absence.
I've been lurking a bit but not posting for the past few weeks but this time I hope to stick around properly. More news on my diary.
I like your whole monthly targets list and keep meaning to do it properly myself. Will have a think about it tonight and post some targets tomorrow.
Have done some financial ones though and a to-do list for today.
I will have a proper read of your July list soon and comment where required.
Back soon.

Hey DDFW
Glad to see you back again, and nice to hear you've had some progress with your health. Hope you manage to get it sorted soon.
Great list for July, good luck with it all "Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee0 -

My family only visits if i go and pick them up and bring them and take them home again after - so just about never :rotfl: OH's family however just lurve to do the surprise visits - i have no idea why this always coincides with the house looking just about the worst its ever looked :eek::eek::eek:
Well, I don't know if I would go as far as *sparkling* but liveable is a reasonable compromise, so I'll go with that!

The yoga is ace, but the walking has yet to be replicated. I'm going to wheel the exercise bike out of retirement as a result!DedicatedDFW wrote: »And the guttering... well... - its gonna be done at the same time :j had a wee word with my mr and he's on board with it :T Woo!
