Morning kmac and tess!
Kmac, I have a packet of rich tea biscuits next to me on my desk, so know how you feel!! Have you had breakfast? I'm also cold, as the heating doesn't work in our ancient building... bbrrrr!!!! Just envisage yourself looking amazing at your concert - that's what I try and do when tempted... I just remember the horrific pictures from last year (dont you hate it when you feel like you're looking good, and then the picture reveals something completely different?!!)
I think I might have a peice of toast in a minute to keep myself going until lunch, I didn't eat until 4pm yesterday :O!!Personal challenge: Do without as much as possible to pay off £12k by 07/2009!!!:T

We are doing Summer Holiday so I know that my costume is gonna be typical 1960s - SHORT and BRIGHT. Not the most flattering of combinations when the largest part of me is my thighs.
I was told last night at the theatre company that we need to sell 15 tickets to the show (£12.50 each) and if we dont we have to pay for them :eek: I'm panicing now cause I dont know that many people in Edinburgh yet (I only moved a wee while ago) and really cant afford to shell out nearly £200 for nothing. x:heart2: Its 12 o'clock and I need your attention :heart2:Debt at Aug 2008 : Bank of Scotland CC : £1605 :mad:Overdraft : GONE!:j:staradmin Debt free aim: Sometime in 2009:staradmin0 -

The tickets or the production team :rotfl:
Right now I'd gladly get rid of them both... I'm a director/producer by training and I HATE HATE HATE when other people do the job but cant do it and then tell me what to do... :mad:
Anyway... Stepping off my soapbox now..! xx:heart2: Its 12 o'clock and I need your attention :heart2:Debt at Aug 2008 : Bank of Scotland CC : £1605 :mad:Overdraft : GONE!:j:staradmin Debt free aim: Sometime in 2009:staradmin0 -

Thats a good plan... I'll explain to a couple of the cast members that right now might not be that easy for me to sell that many tickets since I dont know all that many people and fingers crossed they will understand

Great idea Emmy, hope it works kmac!!
lol - yes sell the production team:D
I know what you mean, I have a fantastic knowledge of computers, and hate it when people at work look at me like "And what would you know little girl" and then proceed to bumble around until the IT company tell them the answer I told them in the first place:rotfl:!Personal challenge: Do without as much as possible to pay off £12k by 07/2009!!!:T

Well its its the start of my "post all" today :eek: .
And I'm staying in today, so I can sit here all day and chat and surf the net. Well I had better do a little bit of something. "Tara" will have another walk, Yes i did take her yesterday, don't think she was impressed much either as it was slinging it down. Right I am going down to make coffee no food and I'll be back.

Morning,
Oh dear a few poeple losing enthusism and motivation, it is so difficult when that happens, I'm one of those people that can mange to be good for three weeks then the willpower goes out the window! But that was before you guys! Don't worry Tesscha, that food doesn't sound very bad, when you have lots of stress going on it is so easy to slip but you don't seem to be slipping very dramatically so well done you!!!
Jo I hope you don't feel like you have lost the purpose of this thread, you made it to support yourself through challenging times but instead you have helped alot of people by being there for them but we all want to help you too so share missus!!!
BF, I know exactly what you mean, my friends birthday party a while back I was all dolled up thinking I looked nice but then the photos showed the horrible truth! but one thing I try to tell myself is that photos don't show character and emotions very well and a sparkly happy person always looks attractive! so if you think your looking nice, other people will almost certainly agree! hope that makes sense?
Kmac, I Luurrvvee Summer Holiday! I wish I could get to Edinburgh to watch you!0
