Hi PAP, I have been dipping in and out of your diary, you are so motivated you should be proud of yourself:T

I think we maybe suffer from the same 'demon problem', i'm not sure if youv'e ever said more than that, but if you ever need an ear to bend pm me.

I'm lucky in that my hubby is very supportive and himself has a well paid job (always useful!) but I have just given up one day week from work in the hope some extra me time and less stress will make me feel a bit better.

I also have my mum who is poorly and this can be very stressful too.

How old are you PAP? I'm 36 years old, I get the feeling your much younger.

Hang on in there girly, you can do it xxxx

Beanie, thanks I never thought of age concern. I have emailed them and fingers crossed I may be able to work serving tea/coffee. Fingers crossed

TPA, Bless you :A Thanks I will remember you if I need to share. Everyone on here is so good though, you are all amazing. How kind is your oh, maybe the time off will help a lot, I hope it does. Its helped me loads so far. Also I used to see work as my life however now I know once I walk out of there I dont worry untill next time I am in. Only taken me 3 years to get to that conclusion thoough :rotfl: I am 23 however I have always been told I have an old head on my shoulders. I have never socialised with anyone my age and prefer 'older' people to be around. Also I am very set in my ways and have very out date opinions, but hey thats me :rotfl: Thanks, I will the demons steal some days but the days I do have are 110% better and I enjoy them so much. I will beat this and I will be sucessfull :T Thanks for your encouragement :A

Ok so since my last update not much has gone on really. Money has gone not too well, what with mothers day and then I had to send somthing to america :rolleyes: Anyways bills as always are covered and I have a few pounds left in my purse. I am back to walking to work and back again now to save bus money. I am actually enjoying being out in the fresh air.

So this coming month, I am having to borrow a few pounds off Mum, I know its bad but at least it this way around The reason for this is we are due to go on holiday on the 17th. This is all payed and I have savings for this. However, due to my food binge etc etc I am now a tad to big for my trousers Of course wearing the same trousers each day and washing each night you dont notice this so I discovered this on friday. I know that you can get cheap trousers in tesco and asda so I will need to buy some of those and then pay Mum back as I get payed on the 15th. I have budgeted for that in next months soa. I have also put things on ebay which may help a little.

Oh I have also found my WLR site online for free, so you guessed back on the wagon. But with the extra excercise and no money for junk I think I can get this done now. I have stopped taking my purse to work which has helped too.

Anyways enough ramballings :rotfl: Take care :j

I had to get a shirt, for an interview, as I have lost three stone and all of my shirts were like tents. :rolleyes: I went to Tesco and they had a twinpack of shirts reduced from £12 (already good value for shirts) to £4.00. When I took it to the checkout, they charged me £3.92 - apparently this was the additional VAT reduction. Shirts were pretty good quality and, most importantly, fitted. :T :T

Take care PaP - I hope to be able to post some good news, on the job front, tomorrow or Tuesday, but I won't say anything yet as it's not officially confirmed.

:beer:

Aw good your back, I thought I had frightened you off!! I like what you said about the demons stealing days but the others being 110% better, I know exactly what you mean, lets concentrate on the good and ignore the bad!
