    I saw real sun today, I'm sure of it! Bit of warmth will probably do your skin the world of good hun and it's always good to cheer you up! Glad you're feeling more positive. xx
    Wandered away from the MSE track for a while but am back and on a mission! Debts cleared nearly £18k. Now to start saving ...

    Been for a gym and swim after work but I did give in to a cupcake this afternoon :)

    Nice early night methinks - have just started reading 'The Carrie Diaries' :D

    Gym and sunbed on the way home, some 'thanks' at work and a lovely new necklace - good day :)

    Another good day - birthday lunch for a colleague and then a drink after work with a friend :D Some nasty people at work - but I will rise above it and stick with the good ones :mad:

    Had a letter from one of my DCA's offering 20% off the total debt if I increase payments by £5 per month so I have accepted that. Should have my statements in the next couple of days so will update my total then

    Missed the gym tonight as I went for a drink but have been 3 times this week so am happy with that. Will try to fit in some exercise over the weekend too

    Bought Marie Claire on the way home so quiet night reading that planned :)

    Hey,


    nice to see you sounding cheerful again & great work on the gym-ing & swimming :)

    I have a subscription to Marie Claire but not so impressed this month. Of the first 53 pages, 41 of those were ads :mad:.

    I wont be renewing the subscription unless it improves dramatically.

    Great news on getting a 20% discount on debt :j.
