Should I budget my time?
Lulu, my Spending Planner Coach is very pleased with my progress. Three weeks on and we are gradually getting a better picture of my personal budget. With the SPI system there are graphs and charts (who doesn’t love a pie chart!?!), and I can see clearly where and when we will come unstuck. It’s somewhere around March 13, 2020.

Tomorrow is plasma day!
So, these three have been with me ever since early Saturday morning.

But then once I got back to work, I was STILL logging in. I could feel myself getting out of control. Continue reading Logging off … an update
Logging off … not really … but more than usual.
So I’ve logged off Facebook. I know it must seem like “yeah and …. ?!” to a lot of people, but to me, it’s not so straightforward.
Why? Continue reading Logging off … not really … but more than usual.
Fat Girl Swimming …
First swim of the year down at Cudgeon Creek this afternoon. And despite a little sunburn (what was I thinking not putting on sunscreen!?!?!?), I continue to be amazed at just how I’ve learned to give-n0-fcks about going into the water. Continue reading Fat Girl Swimming …

How many challenges can I do in one year? I wish I could clone myself. Continue reading How many “challenges” can I do in one year?
