Once you get set in your routine, it will get easier. And once those pesky payday loans are gone, you will find that the other debts drop faster, doesnt mean you can drop the hours tho, maybe you can get the family paid off quicker, and im sure that will be a relief. Hopefully you will be able to schedule in some downtime as well, so you can actually have a life too.
I would love to be part of your plans, so if you want to, id love to share your timetables and targets.
Up to you tho, dont feel worried that id get offended if you said no ! Lol xx

Hi Hun....Hope you managed to get your Work done and that you enjoyed your Stew....

I'd love to share my Timetables and Targets with you...It will be one more person to help keep me on the straight and narrow!! So once I've got all the Info I'll drop you a PM....

I'm having Wednesday Evening as my Downtime as I'm meeting up with an Old Friend and he's taking me out for a Meal and possibly to the Cinema as well...his treat...bless him...he's a good Friend and we always have a great time together....

Apart from that (and my Course Placement) I will be Working all Week....I have told my Family that it might be a couple of Weeks before they see me and they understand so that's good although I shall miss seeing them....

Work still going badly tonight....but I'm still hanging in there...Am determined NOT to log off until 11pm....

I'm not entirely sure what's changed but something has changed in my mindset....I just feel that I can do this now....I can't explain it....Maybe it's just that by last Weekend I had gotten to my lowest possible point (in a financial/emotional sense) and the only way from there was up....I'm not sure....

But whatever it is I'm incredibly grateful....and I WILL continue this....

DreamerHelen

Just a quick Update....Finally made it to £20....It's still VERY quiet but hey, it's £20 more than I would have had if I hadn't have logged on...so I'm grateful....

It's VERY warm here....Trying to drink plenty and stay cool...

PestoPasta

It is VERY VERY hot isn't it Helen! You are right, plenty of water and stay indoors really.

I have young childre and we have spent the weekend indoors as the children haven't wanted to go out - apart from in the garden. It has be fine though. Given me the chance to catch-up on loads of houswork stuff and done tonnes of washing which has all dried on the line in double quick time which is great!

So all in all a pretty productive weekend.

Glad that you are up to £20. Really hope that you reach the magic £35 target by 11pm. Got everything crossed for you.

I also think that you might have turned a corner. You seem much more dynamic about getting your finances sorted which is great. It will give you a much better life and I think that everyone on here wants that for you...

DreamerHelen

Well I'm pretty much getting one Call every half an hour....So probably won't hit the £35 which is a shame....but hey, at least I made £20 which I'm really pleased with....

Thank You hun....I know everyone wants to see me do well and I really appreciate that....Right now I'm trying to live up to everyone else's expectations of me but also MY expectations of me....Which I think is also important....

Aww bless to the kids.....I wish I could go back several years when we used to go swimming in a Swimming Pool that had NO heating whatsoever.....we'd go in Summer and it was fabulous...used to really cool us down....We also used to have Water Fights which were great fun too....

Gosh it is soooooooo dead here....but hey, another hour and a half to go and I'll be finished for an hour....So, not long....I'm still logged on and still perservering....

Bedtime here, hope you're getting closer to that magic figure. Have a break, some tea chillax, and wait for your hot date to show later !
Must be kind of exciting with a whole new challenge ahead of you, hopefully there will be no more technology glitches, and you wont get poorly again.
You do need to get some fresh air every day.... If such a thing is possible in London ?

Cant imagine living in a city, from my house, i have 360 degree views of countryside and ocean, id hate to be closed in with neighbours all around, no privacy must be annoying.
Just a different way of life i guess ... Nearest Costa coffee is 130 miles away ! Lol
Nite nite hun x

DreamerHelen

I can't imagine living 130 miles from the nearest Costa....that would be really strange for me....but on the otherhand, having views of the Countryside and the Ocean must be incredible...so I can see the appeal...but I AM a City Girl at heart....I love London....

Night Night Mara....Hope you sleep tight and have wonderfully sweet dreams...

So....final figures are in!!

I did 62 Hours in total across the Week....and earned the Grand Total of £345.32

Feeling pretty damn proud of myself....but this coming Week will be better!!

Going for something to eat now...catch you all at Midnight...xXx

Thank You to both of you....xXx

A darn site better than £61 don't you think?

Right...time to declare Target for this week *And Deep Breath*....

My Target for this coming Week from Midnight tonight until 11.59pm the following Sunday is: £890

I know that's pretty huge but I've got those stupid PayDay Loans to pay off with this Paycheck....so it's got to be done.

Am aiming for 117 hours this Week which is pretty enormous...but doable....I've given myself 4 hours sleep per day and half an hour for Lunch and an hour for Evening Meal....

The Average Hourly Rate that I need is £7.60....but I know this isn't always going to be the case so I know that I'll need to take advantage of those times when I'm more busy and can earn up to £12 in an hour - For example, tonight I'll be getting a Call (I hope!!) from my Regular...he'll probably stay on for about 3 hours....so that will be an average of about £9.60 per hour at this time of the Night....So that will be good...

So, please wish me luck and I'll probably bore you all to death with talk of Targets and times I've Worked!!

Tonight I am Working from Midnight until 8am in the morning...and then getting some sleep....

Chat to you all later on xXx

DreamerHelen

Okay...so my Minimum Target for tonight is £60....that's what I would really like to earn....any more than that would be great....

Still wide awake and feeling positive...
