    I see your saying laziness alot ... Can I suggest it isn't laziness ( I know you and know you are anything but lazy) but I can understand procastination ... I suffer from that too ( maybe I am projecting here though )

    Oh, trust me, I can be lazy when I want to be! I do procrastinate a lot too. But, things like doing my skincare regime at night is more laziness to me as I can never be bothered.

    I feel so much better knowing that it is a medical condition - there must be a cure then? ;):D

    There is a cure but it can be painful ... But the control mechanisms not so ... Blanket great movie chocolate and good company all help when your feeling at your worst lol

    I would say leaving a job you don't want to because you are scared of something ... But there are many many good reasons to leave a job .... What u thinking of doing and why ?

    Re-thinking my whole career plan El, I still want to do Social Work ultimately but I don't know if the timing is right. A lot of things have changed in a year and I'm re-thinking everything.

    On a positive note - I have my gym induction on Friday :D

    My own version of ;) but more romantic and less cold

    I'm actually really looking forward to it - and once I'm signed up monthly from payday then I'll definitely go because I hate wasting money!

    This challenge is good. I was just thinking about other ways I could make money and stuff that I would enjoy. I have always been quite creative with crafty things and would like to do something practical so I'm not just working on the computer all day - it would break it up a bit.

    I found a training place in my area that teaches make-up artists. i have always been interested in this kind of thing (although I have no clue how to apply make-up on myself!) so looked at their courses. They do a 1 day taster session in October for £150.

    My initial reaction was 'that's a lot of money to waste, I won't bother'. But then I thought, well it's only £150 (not an earth-shattering amount) and what is the worst that can happen? I pick up some useful tips for applying my own make-up. And it may be something that I am actually good at if I give it a go.

    So I am going to start saving for it. I guess you never know until you try.

    think that is a great idea ehallert ... you deff deserve a treat every now and then ... and £150 isnt the be all and end all ... you may meet new friendly people you might learn a few tricks about makeup and you might find a passion for makeup and take it up professionally ... deff worth the risk then
