    hi guys, hope you all are having a lovely day today!! it's bright and sunshiny and lurvely!!

    I've been accepted as a mystery shopper!! and i've also rejoined AQA so i'll be having a tiny extra income but it's going towards debt repayment. i figured since i'm always in front of the computer (here with you guys), i might as well be paid to do it.

    sent off all forms today. cheques in bank account and clearing. Just waiting to sort out which ddebits come from where and then i'll be sorted!!

    soooooo

    i seem to have a problem with drink! if i don't go anywhere near it, i'm fine and can save money and really keep to my dfw goals.

    as soon as i go near it, it's like money has no meaning to me. i only want to drink the finest and i only want my friends to drink the finest....

    so £70 poorer from last night (i've blown the benefits challenge), waking up this morning head in hands just thinking to myself 'of course this is how you got yourself into debt!'

    it almost makes me want to give up......

    ps. Emmzi, that's £2270 off the bcard now...you can have chips.

    I'm the same, Melabarrie - no problems keeping completely off it, but find it hard to stop once I've started :rolleyes: Not sure I can give any advice, because I haven't got myself sorted on this one! But I have recruited my boyf to ask me after 3 drinks if I really want any more (I'm hypoglycaemic, so shouldn't go on the sauce too much). It can be a bit annoying when you're enjoying yourself (he's v brave!), but it often helps. He also stops me buying those bottles of champagne when I'm in a happy and generous mood!

    girls do wear v. little these days, was thinking that myself last night.

    i'm now crawling sheepishly back to the boards. was far too ashamed to really spend time on here today. i thought, what's the use me giving people advice when i can't even seem to follow my own?

    even lynz hasn't come on to say anything to me, she must be well and truly disgusted with me.

    at least i've spent all day on AQA trying to make it back...

    *crawls sheepishly away from the boards again*
