Another day, another dollar

Life's been a bit hectic over the last month. Right so - let's see what I'm about at the minute.

I went into a bit of a tailspin during June. Eating and exercise went out the window, to the extent that I had to pull out of my duathlon due to bad, bad cramp (check out what I could have been doing on June 18th here). I'm extremely disappointed in myself and ended up in tears on the physio bench. Which reminds me that I need to figure out a way to thank those lovely people for spending about an hour trying to get me into walking shape, never mind race shape.

Financial management went out the window as well, with the result that my net credit card debt went up rather than down last month. This is something that is really starting to worry me and I need to look into why this is.

On the plus side, I have entered some writing competitions. The kind that pay money in prizes. I really enjoyed the writing for these and I'm going to follow up on the writing as an income source because it's fun and if it brings in more money that will help with a lot of other things.

So where am I now? Well I have a lot buzzing around in my head right now. For a start I've had an idea for a novel that I want to follow through, which should keep me occupied for a while. I've also had some money making ideas (not least is a good declutter and ebay attack :)). I've made a commitment to myself by booking (and paying for!!) one personal training session a week from now until the end of August (except for two weeks where the trainer is on holiday). That will get the fitness gig started again.

I'm also working through the flat to get it sorted and figure out what I can sell, give away or otherwise dispose of.

So, I'm slowly dragging myself out of the funk that June had me in and now I'm going to be ready to face the world for July.No weight loss in June either, so that will be back to the front burner in July as well.

Who knows - I might start married life next year healthy, happy and debt free!!!
