    whatcha reading?

    Mainly Paul Theroux's 'The Pillars of Hercules' and daydreaming about the mediterranean.. also dipping into Bruce Chatwin's 'What Am I Doing Here' and a novel called 'Morocco' which I picked up for 10p in bargain bookshop, can't remember who author is.

    What have you got on the go?

    Tis nice to see debt coming down and extra money going up but still feels like a long way to go, been pretty fed up with it all this week to be honest, tired of doing surveys/ listing stuff/ looking for jobs/ budgeting to the last penny and still being broke! :rolleyes:

    Spend nowt weeks desperately needed here - right, I'll join you on that next week! Did ok this week till I spent £3-odd on lunch today :o

    Have you been out running at all, does it feel ok now?

    and it would be lovely to see you! I've found it v encouraging & being honest have struggled on here recently as so many desperate cries for help...its not that I'm not sympathetic cos I am but it was really getting me down thinking of so many people in dire straits...
    I dont think I have EVER managed not to spend (appart from petrol & stamps) for 4 days...ever and it feels great! Can understand being fed up of surveys as they are a drag & I havent one any for a couple of weeks...must get back into them as I have a long way to go! You are SO close though- just think of it as a sprint to the finish & what a joyful day that will be!
