    You day sounds a little like mine, but hey we made it through the day and we are one day closer to payday.
    Yep I have also found my stomach muscles I am doing day two in the morning so looks like this could be a painful 6 week challenge, have you started it yet ?

    Well the diet went completely out the window today. I felt rubbish and I ate rubbish. Never mind tomorrows another day.

    I really should have done so many things this afternoon... the washing up, the ironing, some painting but I'm still feeling all hurty so instead I waisted my evening signing up to a intenet dating site. Sad I know but I can't be stay single forever and with no money to butn I just never get out to meet anyone. Plus I was talking to one of the girls I know through work today and she seemed to think it's brill.

    Now I must go have a shower and get to bed... I'm almost back on English time!

    Hey Amatheya,

    Now I know I've read comments and threads of yours before because I'm having deja vu about rats and weight loss! Ha! So sorry if I seem rude by not remembering properly but hi again anyway.

    Well done on your start to your target and on all your achievements both weight loss and debt clearance so far. Good luck with your challenges and your art work. Am off to subscribe to your thread and to try and find some of your art work... :D

    I love reading everyone's diaries, makes me feel better about my own waffle. :cool:

    Gah! I'm tired today! Didn't get to sleep until 1am :(

    I'm hoping not to have such a devistating diet day today, although I've already scoffed 2 jammy dodgers and I think another one will be needed this afternoon... Oh well, I never was good at dieting in the winter... too cold. It's also shopping night tonight an my mom always pays the taxi driver (me) with dinner :)

    I've got to talk to her about loaning some money to get me through the month. Not looking forward to that, I hate having to ask for favours but I seem to have no choice. I've also decided to only do virtual sealed pot on payday every month. In otherwords I'll put any left over money from last months pay in my VSP after I get my next pay. I'm on such a tight budget that I think if I do it every Friday I will end up having to dip into the money I've saved just to get by :(

    Anyway, todays goals are
    Take mom shopping
    Send driving licence for renewal
    Call sister and tell her that her birthday present will be a little late
    Check debt totals

    I've been a member of Plenty of Fish dating site for one day and have already been mailed by someone 20 years my senior, someone morbidly obise and a lawyer dressed as a banana... Now I remember why I gave up!! lol

    :rotfl:Brilliant! Keep at it though. I have 3 friends who are all happily married (not to each other - now that would be odd!) following meeting someone online. 2 have children and 1 is expecting her first now.
