    :rotfl:I have actually had a very lazy day catching up on things on iplayer, most of the things on the list were 5 minute jobs. :D

    I was most annoyed to discover when doing my hair treatment that I have lost my special cap. I had to spend an hour with a Sainsbury's carrier bag wrapped round my hair. Not very goddess-like:D

    I lost 2lbs this week:jThank goodness for that:D So now at 4lbs total. I am determined not to go back up and I want to lose another 2lbs this week but I will settle for 1lb as that will take me to my first target. I will be slim for Christmas:D.

    Buffy, hope you enjoyed your drink last night :D

    TDQ, get saving, you need those shoes:D

    No:mad: I must have thrown it out. A very kind person on here has offered to send me one they are not using but I want to be absolutely sure mine is gone first as I would be very annoyed if it turned up afterwards.

    How are you, Pink?

    That's really annoying (and expensive!). That's really sweet that someone has offered you one though :o.

    I'm ok thanks, paid and starting to slowly pay off the debts. Drawing a line under the past and moving fowards :o.

    How are you?

    I'm fine, thanks. Same as you, trying to get things paid and moving forwards. Hate how it goes so slowly, building up debts didn't take that long.:rolleyes: I have to keep reminding myself that I can only work with what I have which sounds so simple but really does help. Plus lots of baby steps every day to go in the right direction.

    Did you get all your money things sorted out when you got paid, I remember you were worried about a few things?

    Yeah it takes ages! I've paid about £970 to my debts this month so far, hoping to pay a few hundred more but it depends on how it goes this month. So annoyed with myself, I would be so loaded if I hadn't run up so much debt! Never mind, in 2 years time a bit of belt tightening will be worth it.

    I see you paid off your barclaycard, yay! :D:o

    Oh Gwen80, how did you get your Wimbledon tickets? I'm so jealous!

    My VERY jammy friend got them and asked me if I wanted to go with her. To be honest, I didn't really have to think about it. I never imagined we'd be as close as we are though. I'll be able to mop the players brows.

    She got us tickets to Live Earth a couple of years ago aswell. We generally do something pretty amazing every year and it's usually her that gets the tickets. I'm thinking of setting her a challenge for next year - she has to get tickets to the Brit Awards, lol!
    Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending

    Just trying to catch up on all the posts since yesterday. It's been busy! Good to see you back Pink and 970 pounds in just a month is a-m-a-z-i-n-g. It'll fly by, you'll be debt-free and then think of how much money you'll have every month.
