    Hi Everybody,

    Well I have not long got in from work. I am working 2-10 at the moment. I am feeling a bit down at the moment. Cant seem to lose any weight and I just cant see any light at the end of the tunnel at the moment. I just want to get rid of this debt, it is driving me around the bend. I have a house that needs lots of decorating and work doing to it, but I have no money. I am just really fed up. Well sorry for the rant, think I will go off to bed now.

    Another day another dollar.

    Take care everybody

    Sorry to hear you're feeling like that Money Fritter. Hopefully you will wake up tomorrow feeling better, we all have bad days. I know you're not losing weight at the moment but you had a few treats (mcd's..wine:drool:) I know you should be able to treat yourself but I'm guessing with you not having alot to lose you can't afford to treat yourself a couple of times a week :confused: And there is definately light at the end of the tunnel, in 4 years time you're going to be debt free! I know right now that sounds like a long time but it isn't, you didn't get into debt overnight and it's not going to be cleared overnight. You are doing absolutely brilliant, just lastnight I was introducing my friend to the site, showing her round and I told her she HAS to read your diary, you do so well, you ought to be really proud of yourself for the way you're dealing with your debts. :T

    I'm sorry I'm not much use, if you ever get chance you should check out the single and in debt thread, I know you're not single but you deal with your debts on your own like them lot and they always seem to know what to say. They're fabulous people!

    I really do hope that today was just 'one of those days' for you.

    I'm back off to do my packing Im going to a festival this weekend called cockrock :p It's not as crude as it sounds lol As I don't smoke I was giving myself a facebook break instead and somehow ended up on here, I'm sure ya know how it is :D Anyways I didn't want to just read and run..

    You take care.

    Hi Bowski,

    Thanks for the support,

    I am feeling abit better today, although the weather outside is not great. However, I do like the rain, especially when you are sitting inside. :rotfl:

    I did have a few treats last week. I am going to try and knuckle down and get back on top of things. No wine or beer for the next week or so. The main problem I find with 2-10 shifts is having the time to cook decent food. I have done a few things in the freezer, but then I tend to eat rubbish, hence the Mcdonalds on the way to my shift. :rotfl:

    Just have to have more willpower.

    Anyway hope you have a great time at the festival, and I hope the weather is good, just make sure you pack the wellies. :rotfl:

    Take care

    Well, I have just finished my workout, really determined today. I am aching all over. I think I have excercised muscles I never knew I had.

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Had a shower and just eating a nice bowl of porridge whilst I type.

    mmmmmmmmmmmmm

    Well I have just got back from town. Managed to trade back some old euros for £25. :j

    Put the £25 straight into my account, so pleased with that.

    Just had a lovely dinner.

    Spicy cous cous with bacon salad. I had a free packet of Anisleys cous cous with a easy cooking magazine. His cous cous is miles better than the normal cheap plain stuff. Problem is I am to much of a skint flint to buy it in future.
