    I'd say that though you are tight for the month ahead your past history has proven that you can achieve anything.

    Exactly, if anyone can get their teeth into a challange you can!

  • Thanks :)

    You're right I've done it before and I can do it again! Had a little panic at lunch time and considering pulling out of New Year so that I can work it - but I've decided that I've already paid the £100 for accommodation and petrol so I might as well head down and make it a cheap one. My friend works for a well known beer company ;) so she's said that she's doing a deal with the guys that she'll bring a crate of beer and they can buy us some bottles of wine - then food we can do on the super cheap as always - before I know it January pay day will be here - especially if I get some work in the meantime at weekends!!

    Ok I'm feeling positive I can survive - now to get some work :)

    Hi!

    Def stick with the trip away for New Years! It will do you the world of good to get away and you'll come back (maybe a little hungover) ready to do battle again!

Starting to feel a little bit more festive now - gonna be a few NSD's coming up thanks to my Mom's amazing cooking and looking forward to catching up on reading and relaxing as it doesn't feel like I've done that for weeks!!

    Hi! And Happy New Year!!!!

    If you break that £64 down into weeks, I think £21.33 per week sounds soooo much more! (yes, maybe I am a little mad!) And if you break that down further its £3.04 per day!!

    You can do it!!!!!
