Good diary title @Sun_Addict

Goodness I remember you taking out that additional borrowing for home improvements and it does not seem that long ago so good work on that going in 8 months time. Sounds like you have a good plan to take you up to retirement. Are you waiting for state pension age or going earlier?

Happy New Year and diary too. I can't believe it was 9 years ago that Mr SA was so ill in hospital. Good 
unknown with getting rid of that additional borrowing this year and enjoy looking forward to Lanzarote. It always cheers me up to have a holiday to look forward too.

I can't access my work pension until state pension age so unfortunately I'm not able to finish early 🙁

Afternoon all. I've been back to the office this morning, it wasn't very busy and very quiet. Back home again now.

Walked to and from work, no FitBit so only a rough idea of steps around 17,000 I think there and back. Will be doing a live Zumba class tonight so will definitely be well over 20,000 by the end of the day. I've got the pre-printed label from FitBit so will be returning it tomorrow when I can get to the Post Office. 

It will be NSD 2 of January today. I've also printed off the 1p saving challenge chart so I can tick off the days, I think I'm going to do random daily amounts depending on what I've got spare. I need to transfer 4 days worth today. 

I ordered a planner/journal/goals type book yesterday and it's arrived today. I'm hoping it will keep me a bit more organised and there are stickers 😁 The only trouble is Amazon delivered it in clear packaging rather than the huge boxes they usually use and Mr SA has seen it. He's a devil for looking at private things and although there's not going to be anything top secret in there I'd rather it be for me to write freely in and not feel he's reading it. Will have to find a good hiding place. Generally anywhere low down is good as he can't bend down very far.

Good luck with finding a hiding place for your journal. I always feel like I don't want Dh reading my planner, but I've no idea why.  Like you say, its nothing top secret.  I think in my case its because DH is definitely not a planner or organiser and he tends to laugh at me wanting to make lists and organise things. He thought I was mad to have bought a packet of coloured pens to fill everything in. But it makes me happy, so that's the main thing. DH's idea of happiness is watching people on motorbikes on You Tube and tinkering in the shed.

Yes Mr SA has already guffawed at it and said not another place for you to make lists! When I first started a diary on here back in 2008 he discovered it by looking at my browsing history on the computer which was very naughty of him. He kept making snide remarks about it and in the end I had to close it down. Now he has brain damage he's not as conniving as he used to be but he's still very nosy. I've always been a lists and notebooks person since being a little girl, my friends used to play with dolls, I used to play offices 😆
