    Good Morning BabyJayne, You heard the saying "the devil makes work for idle hands" ? so you just keep busy and keep him away. My house looks like a tip at the moment. GD is here and i just seem to follow her around picking things up and OMG wiping everything, little hand prints all over the place.

    Have a fab weekend and don't be too hard on yourself, do your best in that moment and move on. Don't deny yourself too much at once. Its a recipe for failure.

    Don't forget at some point to immortalise those little hands in a painting of her prints. It won't be long before she is 21! Nice memory. Ref the not paying a debt and going out, I think that this is a good thing to put down in print. REason being that if you say it or write it, it is not at the back of your brain anymore, you have bought it to the front for you to deal with it.

    You could have a bills account from which all your house hold bills go from, to ensure the essentials get paid. Would that help?

    Hiya piglet Where you get those fab smilies from and how did u do it ?

    Morning Jo

    I have to admit I got them from another poster on this site (but I can't remember who so can't thank them...sorry to whoever you are!). If you double click on any one of my new smilies, it brings up a new page
    http://www.hystersisters.com/vb2/misc.php?do=getsmilies&wysiwyg=0&forumid=4#
    and then I just copy and paste the one I want into my thread.

    (To copy, just hover over the picture you want, then right click on your mouse and go down to "Copy" and left click, then go to where you want it in your message and either right click on your mouse, go down to "Paste" and left click, or alternatively, you can just press the Ctrl key and the letter v).

    Hope that makes sense!

    Piglet

    P.S. Be careful though...there are some pretty dangerous ones for those of us on this thread... ;)

    1. check online banking
    2. look into ISA transfer again to get better rate
    3. clean house (BabyJayne inspired me)

    Hi All,

    ive been lurking for the past few days, having a rough patch (with EVERYTHING) and wanting to spend money (out of my overdraft) on food (read choclate) and lock myself in the bathroom so OH cant see me.

    Its all too personal for a public place and ill be fine by Monday so ill update and post then.

    Oh and put 2lb back on so only lost 4lb this month after all.

    Well done to everyone working hard!!! Keep it up and loving your work!!!!
