Hi 40sm,

I have been following your diary for a bit, not been on much lately. Trying to study to hopefully get a job, plus have started Avon, bit slow going tho:( gotta keep plugging away I suppose!. You have been doing so much work lately, be careful you dont burn yourself out! gotta look after yourself young lady! lol. Hows the debt busting goin? Things have been a bit slow for me, although I have started selling my DDs clothes on ebay now, trying to have a blitz, but its so slow going, gets me frustrated:mad:. have been feeling a bit low lately, so I think I need a kick up the butt!:rotfl: need to start feeling more positive methinks!. Anyway, hope all is well with you and the family, and dont work too hard! thats an order! lol take care x

Re the magazines- why not go online to the Magazine Group.....and sign up for one of their "3 issues for £1" offers.

Basically, you get 3 issues of She, or Elle, or something similar, for the grand sum of £1 all in, delivered to your door. Of course, they hope you keep your subscription up in which case they will bill you quarterly, but if you cancel before the 3rd issue, they won't bill you.

So you could opt for 3 issues of She over the next few months, then go for 3 issues of Elle, followed by 3 issues of Red, or whatever!

It has worked for me for the last three years.......my magazine expenditure must be pretty low and I always seem to have a glossy kicking about the place!!

Thanks Hypno,

That is a brilliant idea:T:T She & Red are my favourites:)

Thanks for popping in:)

Hi Jasper! Good to hear from you.

Yes i have been working hard... needs must and all that . Was intending to go in for a couple of hours this morning but something else cropped up so I shall go tomorrow instead.

I can sympathise with you on the low mood thing .... I feel like that regularly. Infact I feel a tad like that now:( I've just done my sums for the next couple of weeks and well I am going to a bit short:o . Car has also started making a funny noise but only when I turn corners! Perhaps I should just drive down straight roads:rotfl: . trouble is I can't afford any car repais bills at the moment but can't not have a car as I need it to get to work so I am a bit troubled about that. It would be nice to wake up one morning and not have to think about money and what needs paying. I am not making much headway on the debtbusting But at least it is not increasing:) . I will hopefully make some progress in a month or so;)

Good luck with the Avon and don't be a stranger;)

Love

Oh , forgot to say. Something that did please me .... I have lost 1/2 stone and I am not even on a diet :j:j:j. Trousers seemed a bit loose so I thought I would weigh myself and yes Yippee !! Probably due to all the dog walking with the pup and TBH I have not been eating much in the evening as I am too tired when I get in from work . I wish the weight had gone from my stomach though .... its my bum that is now disappearing and it was not that big in the first place:o
