    well done for losing almost two stone, i had been a little concerned about how you were fairing and what you'd been upto, but hadn't been able to pop by as i haven't been online so much recently.

    Just when I think I have a handle on things :o, debt busting ... gone into meltdown (bar stewards sent me out new credit cards!), fell over on Sunday night (crutches, wet leaves and no street lights do not make a good combination :eek:), so bad abrasions, interesting colours coming up around the left knee and right elbow and muscles that scream if I breathe :p

    So taking a deep breath and starting over (mind you in good news I HAVE now lost 2 stone in weight :j:j:j:j)

    It took me a year to cut the cards up last time :o, but I need to do something :(, I think a lot of the purchasing is stress buying but the stress is getting slightly easier and once the end of this month is over then things really settle back down, so keeping an eye on things and then back to it with a vengeance in the Pagan New Year :dance:

    So going to spend these next 12 days making uber fantastic plans for being a Dragon in a Better Place (emotionally, finacially, healthily etc!)

    Okay weight stayed the same this week, but after a week on pain killers that is not too bad, sold another book on Amazon (this should clear my negative balance :o, someone claimed that a book never arrived, amazing how everyone else's did! I now send 2nd class recorded *sigh*), hmm what else, well I have started making tentative plans for the new me :rotfl:, which will also mean starting a new diary I think, the debt busting will need to start over again but that is fine, today I have been trying to get some cleaning done (it HURTS majorly to stand and dust) and over the weekend Dr Dragon dragged the futon sofa out and we really cleaned around and under it AND cleaned all the slats as well (and Goddess there was enough fluff under there for another Cairn Terrier :eek:). It is nice to see the sofa with just my handbag on it and no other bits of "stuff".

    As well as this we are gradually clearing some shelves (built in the alcove by the fireplace) we hope to get the filing boxes on there so that will clear space on the floor - so getting there slowly but surely! Hmm thinking about it if Dr Dragon could clear his box of papers and I get rid of a standard craft lamp I have never and will never use then the boxes could go on the floor UNDER the shelves freeing up more space :p

    Sounds like you are going great guns Dragon - I love getting things organised - just wish they would stay like that for more than 5 minutes!
