Candy,hope you feel better soon.

Cleosmum,sounds like you will have great hols and you are being sensiable.

Claireabellla,i think you are right to have a bit of breather,andan is right,life is for living. as long as you are sensiable and dont go mad,it will be fine.Enjoy :j

Hi all, Thanks to those that asked about the bike ride yesterday - we made it!!! Set off from London about 7am, got into Brighton just after 2pm. Of that 4.5 hours were cycling time (according to OH's cycle computer). I didn't walk for any of the small (only in comparison) hills, and only walked about 500m of the BIG hill - Ditchling Beacon for those that know it. Man it felt good to get to the end!!!! Today I feel a little bit tight in my hamstrings but thats about all so I'm pretty proud of myself!

As for DFW stuff for today, not done great but here goes:
- bought stuff for lunch for the whole week from tesco to keep in the fridge at work
- done surveys
- updated Quicken and spreadsheets for money spent over the weekend (not good news at all)
- Used one of my graphs to show OH just how much we've overspent this month and he has agreed that we have to cut back - he is going to a friends birthday on Saturday for only a couple of drinks and I'm not going to go so that'll save one night out
- decided to organise some tesco vouchers to use for a meal out this month so that we don't feel like we're in prison

Think that's about it, gonna try to make sure this week is as DFW as possible, so wish us luck!!!

Good luck with the exam tomorrow Andan, and hope everyones days at work tomorrow are better than today's seem to have been!

thanks guys, no jumping for me tonight, about to fall into bed! Next year I'm determined to make it up the whole hill - may need to put some effort into training for it though!

Goodnight all!
