    Hi Mum2one,

    sorry I missed your birthday, will a belated :bdaycake: & a :grouphug: do to make up for it :o .

    I'm so glad you got your tooth sorted out - quite agree, it is worse than childbirth :rolleyes:

    I know how you feel about the hol excited & nervous at the same time. I'm taking DD abroad on my own for the first time later this year & am secretly scared too.

    It will be so much fun for you thought & I bet you'll want to go again ASAP :D
  • Happy Birthday

    This bit on your list stood out. You should print your list out and put it on the wall or in your bag to remind you when things look bad.

    Thnak you both, Lula its ok ur not late its 2day, decided to stop feeling sorry for myself, (blame it on the tooth) and give myself a kick up the bum.

    Thank you KP, sounds daft but seeing the debt payment in blue really stood out, as a my god I've done brilliantly.

    Lula - ur be fine, where r u off to?
    Mad dash trying to get a swimsuit, plan 99 - (feels like it), I have just gone though mums JD Williams catalogues (she had a pile of sale leaflets through) so I have ordered 20 , yes 20 different swimsuits, in 2 or 3 sizes, colours, styles even was brave and ordered 2 tankinins, (not sure if brave enough but there last resort), best bit there all in the sale......... so I will get one or 2 to fit, and its free returns!!
    Got spolit, have £25 Ann Harvey vouchers, £20 Boots card and £30 cash, from friends, and mum +dad have restocked my nightwear selection. xx

    Your 3 months review is looking great, you should be very proud of what you have achieved so far.

    Had a really great day, had a lazy afternoon, and weve been to our local pub for tea, very mse 2 4 1 pub, and I had a free bottle of wine for birthday.

    Best bit DD, tonight said I'm really looking forward to going to Africa, they do have toilet roll there or have we got to take that as well!!

    Bless her, kids they say the funniest of things, and I'm so pround of her, this debt busting lark, damm hard work, but the end will be worth it.

    Next thing to tackle - weight - got letter confirming dietician appointment and consultant appointment, so feel ready to tackle my weight.

    Back to the studying tomorrow........... but I intend to look at things positively and if anything upsets me, (v likely knwing me), i'm going to find one positive thing .

    Your both very welcome to come and give me a kick up the rear when I have a feel sorry for myself moment xx

    I'm definatelty getting worried, went into mass tidy up mode this morning, I can now offically get out of either side of my bed!!
    Very sad confession but I put some of my xmas prezzies away - that sounds awful....... not that bad, wanted to get the wardrobes etc sorted to put stuff away.
    Sold some stuff on ebay, (really a couple of mums things - shes made £20), she said I could have that off the xmas panto tickets,

    Tomorrow mornings plan, tidy chester draws up, see what doesnt fit!! and put the big pile of clothes away, I guess as Im at home most days I have my comfy clothes so they wore washed, back on the pile and wore a couple of days later.

    DD has done her toilettry bag and mine ready for holiday, I had to cut her I want in half, so we compromised......... think it was a one way comprismise, she put her toilettries back an gets to raid my body shop and boots collection, so my toilettry bag done.

    Think its Mon were packing...... then Tuesday havent got to worry about anything, bar the weight limit!!

    Toothache gone (that sounds so stupid), the gum a bit achy, but 100% improvement...... think they must of twiddled with brain cells to have this mass tidy up effort.

    By weekend, got to get Aprils debits set up, just paying the minimum amount, as my tax credits always go weird in April, change of the financial yr, so when I get back will add the difference on, and another debt busting month ahead. xx

    Bar the bookcases the bedroom is offically tidy, gd excuse re bookcase its got to be fixed, and if I strip the shelves it may collaspe...........and I found my tv remote control, back of bedside cabnet, only about 6 mths!!

    DD is getting so exicted about the holiday, she wants her case to be packed 2mor, comprismised and have got the toilettry bags packed, they weigh a ton.

    Saved £24, as went checked tickets they had not charged me for the sitting together, so rang the company direct, as Im a passenger on crutches, I qualify for the medical seats, and as dd is first flight, there not going to charge me so happy.

    I'm upto date with Open Uni, thou will be a week behind when I get back, considering b4 I was 2 weeks behind, I'm plzed.

    Looking positive at things and feel better in myself, have put a complaint into the dentist re the hassle I had and the pct trust,I know they cannot replace the tooth, but I wouldn't want anyone else to be treated like that.
