DNMS sorry things are rough, keep going appreciate it's easier said than done. Remember you can vent here anytime.

Thanks for the start CM Didn't get chance to post yesterday. Did manage a 7km run though :A

List for today:

Try on dress for wedding that arrived from fleabay (I know it's still a spend but much cheaper than store price which was frankly :eek:)
Check banking, FPL and surveys
Lots of work at home to get caught up, was a bit anxious about it all at the end of last week and yesterday
e -mail a couple of people about orders with my bank details
HM soup for lunch
Hodge podge tea I was creative with on Sunday has been re-requested. All in stores
Another run
Washing drying outside (2 loads done on 30)
Quick flylady where I can

Will check back later. PF

hi everyone


1. went on placement nearly finished only another 9 weeks until I qualify!!!
2. stuck a load of washing in as soon as I got home hoping to catch the last rays of sunshine before tomorrows rain!
3. managed at last to catch the window man to cancel him and pay what we owe £8. but £8/ month soon adds up!!
4. contemplate what I already have in for tea to avoid the calling of the take away!
5. ignore the now big black cloud that is heading this way which could stop point number 3!
6. work out what uni work is still outstanding and plan when I can get this done!

Hi everyone :wave:

Thanks for the start Clooties mum :A

DNMS - I am angry for you. So frustrating about the interview. I hope things go ok at your other work and tell them to stick it if it's not worth the stress!

I'm just watching some stuff on net flix... then I'm going to read my free e-book - nice cheap activities keeping me out of spending trouble. :cool:

Need to email yoga peeps - cancel this week's class

Don't need much for dinner as was taken out for lunch today.

The company have six years to ask you for the £10 back. After that, it's yours.

Hi All

Im really sorry to hear about all the missed meeting talk. How very annoying.
I am also very sorry to hear about your situation Determined
We are so skint at the moment. Just not enough to go around this month. Its hard. But dedication to the cause is keeping me going.

Sorry for short post.

Hi everyone :wave:
Struggling a bit today. I seem to be terrible in the mornings, pick up during the day and then go downhill in the evenings again. Doesn't help that I'm sitting here watching a very sad episode of EastEnders....
DNMS - sorry to hear that things haven't gone too well for you today. Just keep swimming - you'll get there...

Hugs to those that are having difficulties at the moment. Bob nearer the end of the month than not. Some months are like this, just a bit brutal, keep smiling.

I managed all my list including a 5k run. Feel my legs will feel 12k in 2 days tomorrow :eek: must stretch before bed.

Dress fits :T enjoy your evening folks.
