Helllloooo! :hello:

Well, I've not been around for a while but I have big plans for 2016 - a year in which I have a zero birthday - hence the title :beer:

Since I was last here I have moved house, 6 months ago now, and am settled and happy there - I even have a garden!

Today I have moved my final bit of debt onto a 0% card so I am on the home straight now as far as debt is concerned. It was an amazing feeling when my bank approved the card - something I had thrught impossible a few years ago.

I've taken my eye off the ball health and fitness wise over recent months so that's one big goal for the first quarter of the new year

I need to get back on track with work, been here two years now and have worked some crazy hours. Need to see if I can mould this role into what I would want it to be - or is it time to move on? Some serious thinking to be done there

I have a few projects left in my house - and then will want to do my garden when the summer comes

Alongside all this - time to have some fun :j:j

    Hope everybody has had a good Christmas? Back at work today although I expect it to be quiet, but full of plans for the New Year

    Weightloss is a big goal for the first few months of the year, I need to lose 32lbs to get back to where I was a couple of years ago, it seems a bit daunting! Bad habits meantI've put on over 2 stone, a stone in the last 3 months!:o. So, a couple of sensible days this week then I am doing a detox from next Weds to give me a kick start,

    Re-started my 10k running app yesterday, aiming for a 10k at end of Feb so need to get back into my running, downloaded 30 day plank app - and need to dust off my Jillian Michaels DVD!

    Overspent at Christmas - doesn't everybody? - but not too much damage! How things have changed, I am now confident that I can sort it out in a couple of months and get back on track - in the past I would've just ignored it and hoped it would go away!
