    On the 20th Chev, the sh*t hits the fan - 5 dd's come out and DH needs apples that week too, and its 10 days before I get paid. Sometimes 2 shops pay us on the 20th and some months they forget!!!

    Payday Eve as HWG calls it..............thank God January is over! Going to change how I pay stuff this coming month..............plan to pay all the bills I can at start of month rather than wait until the date before they are due!

    Fingers crossed!

    There is no point in negative thought, it takes up time and energy which could be used in a positive, happy way!

    well done on your stickers, i'm going it alone on the diet thing so no one to give me stickers :(
    In the 16weeks before christmas at SW i lost 6lb, on my own i've lost 6lb in the last two weeks.
    I'm off to bed now as well on the basis that it will make payday come quicker.
