Yeah, I paid it off knowing I'd have to use it this month for work stuff, still makes me nervous though! It'll be paid off again by end of February. Building an emergency/ rainy day fund is top priority!

Good luck with the budget! Keep going xx

I start training a week today and go straight on board for a week. Not sure of my proper rotation yet because they've moved things around so I can have my friend's baby shower off on the 25th Feb. Hoping to get my schedule this week so I can start making a plan for the business

To do today:

- Rearrange doctor
- Volunteer meeting
- Find cafe in Taunton for brunch tomorrow (meeting a Bristol friend half way

)
- Sort all details for baby shower
- Order baby shower decorations
- Go through wardrobe and make list of what I have left to get for work

I weighed myself this morning and I've put on 2lb in the three weeks I've been home, not too bad considering my diet of late :rotfl: definitely time to lay off the chocolate and wine though!!

I have also taken the website live! A few bits and bobs to get amended but it's DONE :j but I'm getting so annoyed with this refusal of mine to cold call potential new clients - I never get a negative response so I have no reason or excuse, other than it's my least favourite task within the business; I just need to eat my sprouts and crack on with it :mad:

I think when I get back from the hairdresser tonight I'm going to go over my finances from last year and come up with my saving plan...
