    Chuffed I hit all 5 targets in April.
    And as it's May, time to set some new goals.

    For May I plan on doing 9 days of C25k, 20 days where I've walked at least 10000 steps, work at job 1 20 times, job 2 7 times and 15 days of no spends.
    I'm going away for a few days on the 12th, so there will be no no spends that week, which is why I've gone for around half of the month as no spends.
    Fingers crossed I do as well as I did in the last couple of weeks.

    :(0/9 9 days of C25k Rainy and had to stay in and wait for the plumber
    :(0/20 20 days of 10000 steps Slow Thursday
    :(0/20 20 days of shifts at job 1 Day off
    :(0/7 7 days of shifts at job 2 Day off
    :(0/15 15 days of NSDs Spent a lot of money shopping for holiday clothes. Budgeted for though

    Hi Elfy. I was just looking at another thread where you were saying you were faced with a job decision. I was wondering if you'd made a choice yet? And if so how is it going?

    Thought I'd just pop by to say hi and how is it going.
