    I am lucky that I get (now) get a good hours daylight when I finish work so enough time for me to have a good walk, the last couple of weeks you would have thought I was training for Olympic speed walking as I had to walk so fast to get to the furthest point of the canal and back before it got dark :lol: 
    Have started to look into rehoming a dog as my finances are more under control and I have some spare each month, I know I am still paying off stuff but I have wanted another dog for years but haven't because I had the commitment with the horse so now I feel like its the right time so hopefully before too long i'll have a little pooch for company on my walks around :smile:

    Good morning all! 
    I have been on and keeping up with others progress and news but have had none myself so seemed a little bit pointless writing anything myself …….although not a lot to say in this one either haha. 
    Money is all ok, all bills paid so whats left is left and it seems to be building nicely, although with any luck some of it will be going for a dog adoption fee soon :smile: I had a video home check which seemed to go fine, nothing pointed out that wouldn't be suitable so just waiting to hear from the rescue now to confirm they were happy! 
    I will admit i'd lost my mojo over the last few months, I don't think its lockdown particularly but more a mix of weather, the shorter days and still annoyed by the way I was treated by the chap a few months ago, however mojo appears to have made a reappearance this weekend, I was out before 8am both days for my morning stroll, did some tidying on Saturday and sorted some stuff out before watching the rugby and yesterday I finally painted the dining room which I have been putting off and putting off, now I have a nice fresh room to work in again :smile: 
    So fingers crossed mojo will stay! 
    Hope everyone is good, one day i'll have something really exciting to report haha

    Good Morning all :smile: 
    so half way through feb already, it seems to be going so quickly at the moment, but 100% enjoying the longer days, out by 8am both days on the weekend, Saturday it snowed as I was walking back home (not nice soft snow but icy snow) but it was so peaceful walking around the country park I didn't care :smile: 
    Not a lot to report money wise although I did check where I stood in terms of paying things off against my highest debt point, I am now 55% paid off my highest point, the pesky old old credit card is the worst culprit out there but have some funds ready to chuck at it as when I increased my payment on line it never went through so stashed some away but waiting for 90% certain bonus in March to make an additional payment as I plan to put some of the bonus to it. 
    As with everyone else not really anything exciting going on, still looking on the rescue dog front, weather is up and down, but I still have my mojo ( @lucielle I have sent some your way, expected deliver 3-5 working days :lol: ) so in reality its all good. 
    hope everyones having a good week!
