    Thanks jwil and PF. I am going to run 3 times over the next week and after seeing a post from greent have signed up to redtogether which will hopefully help my exercise totals.

    Have a great day and thanks for the support x

    I love a new year and fresh start. I'm thinking about my 2019 goals too.

    I can say, possibly for the first time, I am thoroughly bored and fed up with having debt and really want to move on in 2019.
    Aha not just me then!

    I could have been free of this years ago

    Aha not just me then!

    This needs to change and change drastically. I can’t go on like this and also I need to save more for older age etc etc. It can’t all be achieved without significant changes... and I finally feel up to that.


    Yep you have guessed it!


    Bring it on

    Will do!

    Have been formulating plans over the last few weeks too.......here goes. 2019 Could be make or break if I am honest!

    So..not quite started Dry January yet. That starts on Saturday but have run every day and just spent £22 on the cinema for me and the kids. Took our own drinks and snacks. Other than that some quiet reading and some work. Nice balance. Also started watching Luther :eek:

    Have a good day all x

    Plans for today: exercise and work oh and maybe some laundry!! Don’t think I need to spend money, so that’s good as am signed up to UFM (reminds me, must do my homework) and NST January Challenge on here. Helping me keep motivated and good :)
