Hi all, diet not going brilliantly, have been good for the last couple of days, but was rubbish at the beginning of the week, still have hopes of losing a pound, but at this stage I think I will be happy just to have stayed the same.
Not doing so well at the money saving, only bought a paper and a lottery ticket, so not too bad, but I didn't make/save anything today, so nothing to add to my September challenge, I hate it when that happens!Pay/save £20k in 2010 £5888.75/£20,000June Mini target 0/5lbs Total 23/40Ebay profit 2010: March £207:) April £95:) May £130:) June £0 Total £432:j0 -

So go on the Yargo1, did he say anything interesting we should know about?? I'd love to go and see a clairvoyant, I'm a bit of a 'need to see it to believe it' kind of person so I'd love to go and someone tell me things they couldn't possibly guess, it would freak me out but it would be good.
It's lovely you're excited to see your mum, I definately take mine for granted, I can see her anytime I like and most of that time she does my head in. Although I just spent about 10 mins with her before and she was ok lol How long is she over here for and where does she live?Initial Debt July 2020 - £6,772.80

Ooh yes! Yargo, what did the clairvoyant say? I love things like that, not sure if I believe in it, but they are so interesting! I have been a few times, not for ages though, might look into doing it again.Pay/save £20k in 2010 £5888.75/£20,000June Mini target 0/5lbs Total 23/40Ebay profit 2010: March £207:) April £95:) May £130:) June £0 Total £432:j0

hey beanielou , sarahb and bowski, Yeah mum and dad moved to bulgaria last year! was really upset as although i have a brother he is settled with his partner and daughter and so it was more of a blow to me when they went ..that and the fact i used to see them nearly every week and go for my sunday roasts! lol ... Seriously was nightmare when they first moved...and i still tend to ring them every day if i get home in my lunchtime...mse (free calls to Bulgaria ) with my orange broadband!
Nah, clairvoyant didnt pick me out , but the people he did and things he said were amazing.. he knew so much about the people the one s he did pick out knew etc... was a bit annoying kept saying "and do you know" and "does this make sense" lol but was very good.
off to have a quick bath now and try to relax my aching (still!!!) muscles from that blinkin circuit class! lolDEBT FREE - MARCH 2012 - NOW JUST THE MORTGAGE!

Hello & Happy Friday to everyone,
as far as the diet is concerned ; oink, oink, oinksmarties cookies, packet of crisps, peanut butter on toast, peanut butter sandwiches, choc spread on toast, etc. etc. what is wrong with me ?
Have been so busy clearing out kitchen ready for monday I've needed to keep my strength upI've nearly finished now & I just cant wait to get it done now.
Weird Yargo - I'm off to Gatwick tomorrow - 7 am :eek: dropping peeps off but also the xbf is currently living in Bulgaria, & according to todays phone call thinks we should get married & live happily ever after out there :rolleyes: the house has 1, I repeat 1 socket upstairs, the stairs are on the outside of the house & the downstairs floors are made of ... mud. Just in case you think I'm tempted let me also tell you that he has no job & no car :rotfl: so that would be why I'm here even with £6,500 worth of CC debt .
As far as I'm concerned just being male with a job is a good start as far as potential suitors are concerned
I've been rubbish with money too so think I shall turn over a new leaf tomorrow - full moon I think so that's always a good time for starting fresh ventures.
G'nite

Hi all, hope everyone's having a fab weekend.
Just to say if you are looking for courses don't forget some uni's do online learning now, as well as the OU, and there's always the local places (not so flexible though).
Walked into town and back today (prob about 5 miles total) so feeling rather virtuous, and going to check out the gym on the way to work next week (though it's a David Lloyd so think would probably damage the DFW more than it'd help my fitness!)

tony, how you doing? hows your week been? what you upto the weekend? anything exciting? not excavating any graves i hope?!!!!
My week as been ok,although my life at the moment seems like groundhog day! I did have a little "moment" on friday,I was walking in the city centre on my way to a job when I got a smile of a girl who was on her bike traveling towards me(she didnt stop)made my day!little things hey!!
Nothing doing today,I play cricket for a local club but due to weather it was cancelled.
Remember girls not all men like the "perfect"10 in a girl,I like the lady's who may carry the extra pounds,although not the girls who's legs are like 2 kebabs with shoes on!!:D0 -
LMAO tony... that's exactly what my legs are like haha!! that well made me laugh!!
Lula... could you try not having those things in the house and then you won't be able to eat them?? Also.. how come your ex still phones all the time? Do you need to keep in contact or do you just like to?
My diets not going great today i've had cornish pasty and 2 iced bunsBut I dont think it's too bad as I work in a confectioners and I can honestly say thats the first pie I have had in 6 months. Before I worked there I used to eat them everyday!!
On the good hand tho, I have had an NSD day today!!
Also I spoke to the ex today, first time since wednesday and I just wasn't bothered about talking to him, it was nice to know he was ok but he was saying he'd been busy and he had stuff to do and I didn't ask what or anything because I don't need to know, normally I'd have asked allsorts but I don't really see the point in us speaking anymore. He is lovely but he's nothing to do with me anymore and as he lives 82 miles away I don't need to worry about bumping into him or his friends etc.
What's everyone upto tonite then?? I'm babysitting for my niece and possiblyInitial Debt July 2020 - £6,772.80
