    Ahh Sam I loved my dancing banana. That (sadly) has a lot of meaning for me in real life, so it was a double bonus!!! Dancing bananas help me avoid the chocolate so thank you for that too!!!

    Things have been good for me this week, thank you. More about that shortly.

    I know Rosa, I was shocked at spending that on coffees but it does make a massive difference when it's being spent on people I love!

    So, it's been a while since I updated, this is mainly due to having this week off and trying to get things done and avoid distractions. I was only half successful!!!!

    I've got WAY WAY WAY too much stuff, and it's suffocating my life! I know that sounds a bit dramatic, but it's true. So, I took this week off in order to have a major clear out. LUCKILY, I found the Maria Kondo declutter book and she's made the whole task feel much more achievable. I had visions in my head that I'd be on a minimalist lifestyle by the end of the week, but truthfully I've only managed to sort out clothes, shoes and handbags. But it's a brilliant start and so momentum now needed.

    I swore I'd do nothing and see no one this week, but have managed to meet up with people most days. Only important people though! :D

    Financially I'm doing pretty good at not spending haphazardly (thank you YNAB). Each day I check my account and there's the exact amount I expect to see! Oh! :o I did buy a couple of things on the Amazon prime day yesterday so a little slap deserved for that. They weren't impulse buys, but they were things I should really have waited to get! BUT, I got great discounts and I do have the money so it is sort of money saving!!!!!

    Yesterday I was approached by a really nice looking (and very complimentary) man. Initially I panicked and reacted very kindly but very negatively. But then when the panic subsided I put it all in perspective, wrote my number down and handed it to him. Hmmm! Watch this space!!??

    I need a new diary. My blurred lines are in focus and, man aside, things are going great for me. I'm focused and on a path and I want my diary to reflect that. So I'll start that off and will post a link shortly.
