: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.

I will keep that in mind as I sift though the nutters!!!

Right so today was another bad one diet wise but having watched 10 things you need to know today I'm goinf to make a few adjustments to my eating habits and hopefully things will get better.

Debt wise this month I've paid of £274 of debt This would have been more but I spent a bit on my cc's over Christmas I've put another £3 in my sealed pot as part of snowballing and I've convinced my lovely mom to lend me some money to help me survive the rest of the month... On the provision that I gave her £10 a month towards paying her back, seinging as she's never seen hide nore hair of any other money she's lent me my entire live I think this is fair lol Good old mom!
Another little bit of encouraging news is that I'm finally under £8k (if only just) on my loan, it started out as £15k. Just a little bit more and I'll be half way there

I managed to fulfil all of todays goal except sorting out my driving licence. I had to work a little late so I didn't get to the post office in time. I'll definately do it tomorrow as I don't want to get hit with a fine! After todays shopping I only have £25 left to live on for the next 2 and a bit weeks. I should be able to manage that as I only have to get things like bread, milk and salad and the only plans I have for going out is a charity quiz night which only cost £2.50 which is a bargain as it's a really good night out and lasts for ages... it's also in a comunity hall where they don't serve drinks so there's no temptation to keep buying overpriced stuff. Might take a couple of cans of coke and a bag of nuts though

Todays internet dating experience included a guy old enough to be my dad, someone who could bearly speak English, a chav looking for the mother of his next baby, a very insistant guy on the sites IM looking for "friends with benifits" and of all the miracles a nice chap who's interested in all the things I am and seems to have a similare outlook on life........ but lives half way across the country, D'oh!!!

TGI Friday!!!

This seems to be the longest week EVER! Thank goodness it's over.

Nothing much to report today. Made 75p on surveys, finally got around to sending off to renew my driving licence and now I'm just chilling. I'm going to spend the weekends doing art work and cleaning.

Good luck for your weigh-in Amethyst

At least your getting people, even if they are slightly weird! :rotfl:

I still have not had anyone email me, despite sending quite a few! :mad:

adiwood - Don't lose heart, why don't you have a go at re-writing your profile. A friend of mine did that with his and it made all the difference.

Does anyone else worry that they'll meet someone nice but once they find out you're in debt they won't be interested any more? I know it sounds silly but it bothers me... I guess anyone that was bothered by it wouldn't be worth my time anyway. Particularly as I'm doing the responsible thing and trying to clear it so that I can get on with my life. *Takes a deep breath* Yes, I'm deffinately being silly.

So today I spent most of the day as my mothers taxi service. She wanted to go round the shops so I picked her up and what was a quick hour turned into a entire day but I'm not complaining as she bought lunch and dinner She also bought some fabric so that I can get started on the cross stitch pattern she decided I'm doing for her.

I finally felt well enough today to start doing the 200 sit-up plan. Today was the first test and I managed a feeble 46, I also did 1 minute of plank for good meansure... I shall bully my tummy into being flat! I've got my mother on the diet train too. The doctor has told her that she needs to lose 3 stone and as she's started falling over a lot I'm inclined to agree. She's a little on the dotty side so I'm arranging for her to have meals on wheels so that I can have some control over what she's eating. Anyway, tomorrow I shal try to find a aerobics vid on the internet and I'm going to put my pull-up bar back up and start doing trapeze conditioning again.

I really need to go and do some artwork now!

othing much to report today. It's been quiet on the survey front and until I get paid this month I'm not really going to be doing anything but sitting at home and doodling. Stupid Christmas making me spend all my money lol. Oh well, I've got lots of DVD's to keep me entertained and I'm contemplating repainting the hall as I've got lots of spare paint and it's looking all grubby and pockmarked. Although thinking about it I'm hoping to find a new second hand sofa next month so maybe I should wait until I've sorted that out.

The diet's going well. I've worked out all my calories and I ded some aerobics yesterday, I even did a couple of pull ups... I only managed about 4 assisted befor I decided I better get down before I fall down but I was really trying and taking as much weight on my arms as I could (I know I did my best because otherwise my arms wouldn't be hurting so much today!! It has been a personal goal of mine for the past 3 years to be able to do 5 pull ups on my own, at the moment I can't even do 1 :-s

Anyway, hope you all had a good weekend

Another day and once again I feel exhausted! My poor arms seem to be feeling more hurty not less and I'm desperate for chocolate biscuit! lol. Despite that I'm still on the diet wagon. I've eaten just under my calory allowance (but just over the recommended healthy minimum) the past 3 days so I'm hoping to see a 2lb loss on the scales this week, with any luck I might even managed to get rid of a whole stone by the end of Feb... It's not impossible and it wouldn't involve me losing at a unhealthy rate. I want to be nice and slim by summer so that I can wear my swimsuit in public without feeling like a hippo!!

No money news today, I have no money to have news about! lol. I only have about £10 left to get shopping for the next 2 weeks but I should manage, after all I only need bread, milk and salad. I can rade the cubards for other stuff. I can't wait until next month... No council tax to pay I must remember to renew my single occupancy discount though.

The only problem with trying to post every day is trying to think of something to say every day.

The diet's going well. I did eat 200cals more than I should but I've been good all week so I don't think that will Kill me... I'm still crossing my fingers for a 2lb loss this week and I already think my trousers are a little looser but that may just be my imagination.

I've spent this week talking to lovely guy from dating website. Unfortunately I've decided he lives too far away to make anything of it but atleast I know that there are still some nice guys out there and it has made me realise that I'm in no rush as I am happy being single and doing my own thing and will continue to be until the right guy comes allong

I managed not to spend anything today so I guess that's a good money day
