"I just finished an early boxing workout. Biked to the gym and back. First one in the books. I feel bad for not donating but I've committed myself to making a donation when I complete the mission. I don't want to donate because of a loss I want to make a donation because of a victory."
"We’re in the middle of the month and I’m on track at the moment. I have set up my standing order again to the Fun & Food account as I just can’t bear the thought of not pulling my weight and Terry really shouldn’t have to carry me any more than he is already. I’m not sure I can really afford it, but it feels the right thing to do. I should remember that I’m in a very fortunate position of having a “pot” to back me up and I’m saving around £250 per month anyway, so I need to accept things the way they are. I don’t change enough but I think that’s a good thing because I don’t feel guilt about what I charge, and I seem to be able to get by on what I earn each month.
I’m waiting for a couple of invoices to be paid and I need to invoice for a couple of jobs I’ve completed. Dad transferred the money my parents owed me for Mum’s surgical knee sleeves, which she says are helping her – that’s a good thing.
I’m toying with the notion of continuing with KTreon or not. Not sure really. I’ll ponder it this month and see how I go.
I’ve not really spent anything on the frivolous front – you could say that I didn’t need to have the Tin Monkee posters printed for our gig at Ousebank House next week– especially as I forgot to add the date – numpty! However, I’m glad I did and actually I added some rather cool date stickers to each poster, which I printed myself.
So, to the scores for the past week (70% to pass):
1) Current Account in Credit in its Own Right: 100% (A)

(*This is where I've sent an invoice/asked for payment)
Therefore, I award myself the following Score/Grade: 93% (B) "
"I feel ok this week about money. I have invoiced everyone I need to and will do ok this month. I’m now able to track my tax using QuickBooks so I know exactly how much I need to find when the year ends on the 5th April.
Nothing much to report on the wasteful spend as I haven’t spent anything really – other than a bit more on fuel when we went to Cardiff, but I haven’t contributed anything much to the house this month. From next month I have re-set up my standing order to the Fun & Food account as I really haven’t got on with the fact that Terry has paid for everything for the last 3 months and, to be honest, I just don’t feel right taking a day off a week either – why? I have no idea – everyone agrees I should, but I just can’t get my head round it. Hey-ho – it’s not their head or their life is it.
Mum and Dad owe me some money for the surgical knee-sleeves but I’m waiting to see if Mum can get on with them before I ask them for the money, as they may have to go back.

"Great week again . A lot of conversations with buyers and also realtors . Met a buyer in person and he made an offer on the property in the spot . Looking forward in working with him ."
"I have had some success, but I got bogged down in anger and stress. Lots changed this week and I wish I had controlled myself better. I wish my wife was more willing to listen to my concerns before changing things up quickly. Things we both need to work on. "
