    Evening all, not heard anything from CSL yet although dont expect to for a week or so. I have just updated the snowball and now have less than £500.00 to go until I am sub 30k, not long now, in fact should be by the first week in July if I have done my sums right!

    Stayed the same at slimming today which I was a bit disappointed with as I only have 1lb to lose to get my 3 1/2 stone award but would rather that than a gain.

    I have had my result from the openings course I did with the OU and have passed that so 1 down about 6 to go but its in the right direction.

    Working all week and studying after the kids have gone to bed so not much time to do anything else but will try and have a catch up over the weekend.

    Hope everyone is well x x x

    Evening everyone, have been having a bit of a catch up with everyones diaries tonight, apologies if I have missed anyone!

    Mum, it was just the openings course Y166 that I have had the results for but its 10 points out of the way only about another million to go!

    I am currently halfway through W100 which will finish around Oct and then I am starting W221 in Sept - employment law and then W200 in Feb 2010 so they will cross over a little bit but not too much hopefully.

    Have had a semi productive weekend, little bit of studying, little bit of housework and lots of playing with the kids - much more fun! So not a huge amount done but better than nothing. DD went to see Lazytown with my mum and dad yesterday and came back with a Stephanie wig, a light up windmill thing and a toy for DS, god knows how much they spent those places arent cheap!

    I have 2 days off work this week and I am going to the Cheshire Show with OH we go every year used to go for one day but I like to spend time admiring the horses and he likes to wander round so we go both days now, shouldnt spend too much though as long as I am not tempted to buy a new rug for the horse - will be leaving my bank card safely at home.

    I have my stop smoking appointment tomorrow, looking forward to it and dreading it at the same time. I'll let you know how it goes anyway and fingers crossed this time it will be for real!

    Hope everyone is well, not much debtbusting news I'm afraid, not heard anything back from CSL yet but only 425.00 to go to get below 30k so not long now x x x x

    Good luck with the appointment, hopefully they will be motivating and give you lots of tips. I gave up years ago after reading the Alan Carr book (not the comedian) and visualising things helped me - that and thinking about how much money I was saving...
