  • P.S. For those interested in losing weight, check out the Volumetrics Eating Plan, I've been reading up on it and it is such a good idea! Looking forward to getting into this one ;)

    That's fantastic! :D At least it buys you more time to organise other options ;)

    Assignments are driving me mad. Just need to get them done... urgh.

    Will come back once it's finished :(

  • Well, I think I've completely given up on him now. Had organised a bbq for the 27th, which he thought sounded good, and now have found out from wonderful facebook that this is the same time/day that he is having his belated bday party... that he never told me about. So either it's a major slip on his part, or I don't think I can even consider him a friend... seeing as he invited over 100 other people.

    This assignment is late and still not done... have to get it as finished as possible this morning. My C/C totals are a little higher than what is written below but that will be taken care of tomorrow... still really want to take care of this laptop debt in the 1 debt v 100 days.. so $600 to go by April 12??... April somethingth anyway :o

    Will be looking forward to the 1st... no more uni work (well, new subjects... no assessments for a bit). :A

  • Well assignment is done.. just two more to get done for friday next week, and one exam on friday next week, then two more subjects finished!

    Paid more off my credit cards..

    St. George is now $5,530.00
    ANZ is now $2,700.

    It's being a little slower paying them off, but I'm using them a lot less now, and paying more off than I'm re-spending... so going in a positive direction! :D

  • Morning Everyone...

    Well, I had a bit of a slip yesterday :o
    I spent $133.45 on clothing and stuff. But I am going to console myself with the fact my slips don't seem as bad as they used to be... that used to be a pair of shoes ( or half... or less than half a pair of shoes :eek: ).

    Out of the $133.45 I managed to get

    * A hat
    * A new sportsbra
    * A new workout outfit, top and bottoms
    * A new fashion-y racerback top
    * A new eyelash curler
    * A beauty essentials kit for my nails, with clippers, file, et cetera.

    Feel bad for spending the money, but I think I did pretty well all things considered :)
