    43 points this week - still feel that the week controlled me, rather than the other way around, with a lot of fire-fighting and time- wasting, but onwards and upwards.

    Well done everyone for all your sterling efforts.
    I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.
  • 10 points for me today, including my weekly points for keeping a spending diary, grocery challenge and not using credit card.
  • Haven't been posting as not too well over the last few days but back to the challenge tomorrow in ernest!

  • Hi,
    Sorry I haven't updated much this month, will start again next month.
    I need some more manageable goals as I am struggling to do a lot of things at the moment.
