Mkay....sorry for the not-being-here....but I've been ill since yesterday and can't keep a thing down....on the plus sides it's helping me get more NSDs and no choclate days (both up to 6 for the month)
Have also started on the three essays I need to do for the beginning of May, one's 1000 words and the other two are both 2000 words, so I need to get cracking. I've written the introduction to one, done some research for another...and need to re-read Frankenstein for the third** Total debt: £6950.82 ± May NSDs 1/10 **** Fat Bum Shrinking: -7/56lbs **

OK, time for an update:
I've lost 2lb, and another inch off my tummy and my hips...so they're now 35 and 41 respectively. I've paid £6.66 (money of the Devil) into my savings account, so there's now £34 in there. Put more into the pot, so there's probably about a tenner sat in there. Also paid £50 off Vanquis, so that's good. Now tempted to move a LOAD of money over to my savings so I don't touch it until I need it...wonder if it'd work....** Total debt: £6950.82 ± May NSDs 1/10 **** Fat Bum Shrinking: -7/56lbs **

Moved about two thirds of my grant and loan into my savings account, leaving me a bit to live off for the month, and am hoping it'll last me long than that! Bursary hits in May, so that'll go into my savings too (well a little bit left for me for treats) so that'll bump that up, and then it should last me for the summer

Have had an NSD today, not one yesterday as I posted stuff and bought birthday cards, but hopefully I can have another 2 before Saturday.
Not feeling too good right now, very jittery and a bit emotional. Try to cry and I want to, but they won't come ouit. I just feel low and numb and horrible right now... *sigh*** Total debt: £6950.82 ± May NSDs 1/10 **** Fat Bum Shrinking: -7/56lbs **

Here I am again....Have lost another 1lb and another inch off the hips

I was naughty yesterday and went shopping, but it's stuff I need (clothes that fit instead of ones that hang off me) and got over £25 off in Gap through offers, so I was chuffed to bits. Pint bought me a pair of trainers, that helps too
Still religiously going to the gym....and am having a think...do I clear the 3 debt...as then I can put that money towards another debt...hmm....am thinking it might be a good idea.** Total debt: £6950.82 ± May NSDs 1/10 **** Fat Bum Shrinking: -7/56lbs **

Hi elfen:wave:
Just spotted this, didn't know you had a diary on here.
Sounds as though you're making great progress now - well done:j.
I was looking at you signature in amazement on the NSD thread yesterday and now I can see that you actually do all that exercise..... shuffles away feeling exhausted at the thought
Will keep popping back to see how you're doing - well done on getting below £2k:j
