Still on it! Just had a couple of busy evenings.

Okay, today was my first below quota day (the first of a number, I'm sure), but I'm actually quite pleased given I only had pre-work time to do it.

In other preoccupying news, out house buying has begun to proceed again after hanging in credit approval limbo for three weeks.

Exciting times!
