I wonder how your brother is going with his? He has not mentioned it in awhile. Raita is yummy isn`t it! I actually had some the other day. Never made it myself though but will definitely give it ago. Downhomegirl- Thanks mate, I am not sure how I will go getting stuff done this month but hopefully not too bad. I guess I can relax a little though since last month was quite successful. Katie- I ended up only doing 9 hours today & bailed at 4:30. Will probably do the same tomorrow since I want to go to aqua areobics at 6pm. With the ipod, pull out all your cd`s that you want to put on it and start there- just add the cd`s. Then you can add songs, borrow friends cd`s etc as you go. I love mine but my big one is SOOOOO old now- getting a fair bit of use out of the shuffle while walking though! Sara- Thanks babe. I certainly love the books! She has just released a new one- did you know? I have to start thinking about packing stuff up to send back to Japan & going through some of my old stuff now that I know I will also be going back for good (pretty much, i think) as there are some old photos and stuff I would like to take. I think I would also like to pack up a box of books that I want my future kids to have- but I will leave it in Australia & wait til kids actually come along and can read before getting it sent. You are going to go crazy in March buying kiddie stuff huh in America. Will be so much fun. Yanna- Thanks. I had a look at your list too and it is great!!!!! I love how you have split it up. You can link & rss away!!! I will be following your progress also. Khea- The 101 things idea I originally got off a couple of blogs I read (scarletwords.com & beyond30.wordpress.com) but the page for it is http://www.triplux.com/dayzero/ - You should definitely do it. It is loads of fun & really helps you stay focused on track to reach your goals I think.

I got an i-Pod for Christmas! First one I have ever had and I still haven't taken it out of it's box yet, must do that and upload some tunes. Can't believe you are working 9.5 hour days! That's insane! Have you got enough work to do? My office is really quite at the moment, so I hope it's not too boring! If you ever want to see a movie together after work let me know! I'd like to see more movies and I have one of those discount cards! saw Madagascar on Friday, it was really good! Great to hear about your progress! I got an i-Pod for Christmas!

My list has ground to a halt but I determined to get back on track this month! A nice way to use cucumber is in a "raita" type accompaniment. Use low fat plain yoghurt and add a glove of garlic, chopped cucumber, lemon juice and chopped mint if you wish. Use this with any meats, like lamb kofte, kebabs, etc and it's really nice! A very cooling dish! Take care xx OMG hun, your progress is inspiring! My list has ground to a halt but I determined to get back on track this month!
