    I love the NST thread! I joined it once but it all got a bit overwhelming posting on it along with my diary! But I always lurk on there and mothernerd's posts are always interesting. She writes very well and copes admirably with her ailments. Good luck with the NSDs!

    I hope you enjoy your run and have a good week Munchin.

    Afternoon all,

    I have just put my lunch on and sitting with a cup of tea. I have done my run this morning with pup at my side and he is now pooped sitting on the chair beside me - he loves the heat and then once it is too hot outside he comes into the kitchen where it is a lot cooler.

    I've just spent a few hours revising for an exam. I have no interest and it is too nice a day to be stuck indoors but hopefully the weather will last until this exam is out of the way.

    Spends have been good in that I've reduced the frittering quite a bit and am trying to stick to needs but once you go to the shop for diesel and groceries you don't get much change out of £100:o:o. Usually I travel by train to work but this week I've had to go to different meetings and needed my car and it fairly eats into my diesel.

    I popped up to see some ex work colleagues yesterday and the post I'm stalking is still being finalised, so it hasn't gone away yet which is good.

    Plans this week include spending tomorrow out with OH and then revising for my test as well. I have a volunteering thing this week, a therapy session and a routine docs appt. I have 2 more therapy sessions to do and that is me. We discussed the end last week and we could have finished it then but I was happy to do 2 more sessions .....just in case :o.

    I will have some lunch and then back to the books.....ho hum.

    I hope your revision goes well, Munchin! I'm glad I don't have to choose between uni work and getting out in the sunshine anymore :o

    Hi all,

    Lilith - I hope you enjoyed the sunshine.

    Well exam over and done with and I’m pretty confident that I will not do another one as long as I live :D. It was quite stressful and I kind of resented having to revise for it in the first place:p. You would think I had turned into a stroppy teenager :).

    I’m watching Martin’s holiday programme and better check if my EHIC card is in date.

    Tomorrow is my second to last therapy session and it has all been worthwhile. I made a really nice veggie pasta dinner and treated us to a dessert as the exam was over. There was no guilt and I ate it mindfully so I guess therapy worked :D.

    Money front - credit card has crept up as I paid the balance of our holiday which I will get from OH .....eventually :o. He’s not working and has depression so I guess I’m counting it as my debt until he pays me. Good news is that my savings more than cover it but as it’s 0% interest I’m paying it of monthly as I want to keep my savings. I also lent wee sis some money so hoping to see that back soon.

    No more revision so life is back to normal now.

    Thanks Seaside - revision all over and test done :D. I so hope this post comes up soon as it would be amazing to be back in old place by end of the summer or even year.
