I have my own diary but I am not sure if I can write the problems down on it, being an open forum and all that , mind you I do have a closed Blog (for my Pagan stuff, ie stuff close to me and not for sharing) I could write it on there :undecided, my other three blogs are open so again can be read by anyone

I think you need to write it down somewhere hun....What about getting a Journal that you can write everything down in? That would only Work if you know no one would read it...I live by myself so I know nobody will read it...

The Numbness has nearly worn off now....And it's not too bad...hopefully it won't get any worse!! But still, I have some great Painkillers if I need them...

Going to try and get some sleep soon so that I can Work tonight.

DreamerHelen

Well it's now nearly 10pm and I've slept for most of the day....

I'm feeling a bit crappy...a bit like someone has hit me on the side of my head with a sledgehammer!! But it's not as bad as I thought it was going to be.

Have taken some Painkillers this Afternoon but I'm trying to avoid taking them if I can...

I'm going to Work tonight as I really really don't want to have to try and earn £111 in one night (I could but I'd rather take the pressure off me!!).

Feeling tired but feeling sort-of okay emotionally...I know that things will be fine and I believe in myself...I know that I can make it work!!

So...onwards and upwards!!

Hi Helen

Just flicked through your diary, I can relate to a lot of it. There are parts of your posts #87 and #100 that could have been written by me.
I do my best to keep positive, it's blooming knackering but I feel gradually the low points are becoming less frequent and easier to get over.
I love your money goals, esp the £144 ones . I might start a wee fund for something extravagant and unnecessary (not saying yours are!!).
Look forward to reading more

Thank you for your Post hun....It's always nice to see new people in here

Oh of course they are completely extravagant and unnecessary!! LoL....I just feel like I need something to look forward to...so that's why I'm saving for them...At the moment it feels very much like all work and no play...

I just wish the low points were easy to get over for me....but I WILL get through them and it WILL get easier...

Hey Sweetie

Thanks for lurking...I know you're having a tough time at the moment.

Mouth still very very painful...although it comes and goes....Managing to eat little bits of things....actually managed to go out to lunch with Family this Afternoon and had Greek Yoghurt and soft brioche with Jam...so that wasn't too bad...

The Painkillers that I have are pretty heavy-duty ones so they are pretty much keeping the pain at bay when it gets too bad.

I only have £10 to go to meet my re-jigged Target...so that's not too bad...I'm going to start Work soon, at some point in the next hour...and it should only take a couple of hours to hit my Target...

Have slept a lot in the past couple of days but still feeling really tired...still, I have Sundays off so thats not too bad...Might even get some cleaning done!!

So, that's my Update....Nothing to Update on Totals...

Love and Hugs, Helen xxx

The Stuff of Dreams

Save £4100 Before the End of 2011 Challenge
I'm currently Studying. My College Fees are already taken care of for the rest of 2011 but next Year I have to pay £4100 - I'll be paying some of it from Tax Repayments and the rest will come from Ebay Sales and extra Wages.

Currently £100/£4100 (Slow Start But Finally Got Started At Last!!)

Terramundi Pot Challenge (To Open Saturday 19th November 2011)
I'm going to an Exhibition at Olympia (not sure if I'm allowed to post the name of it since it's a bit, ummm, risque LoL). I'm going to buy a Terramundi soon...and then start Saving with extra's from Wages (I can do as much Overtime as I like).

Currently £0/£500 (A Lot to Spend and Go Mad With!!)

Budweiser Bottle Challenge (To Open 31st December 2011)
I have a great big massive Plastic Budweiser Bottle (appropriate since I used to work for the people that own Budweiser!!) and I'm going to fill that up with the odd pennies and coppers and 5p's and spare change.

This is for my Flight/Hotel/Food/Spends/Excursions on my Trip to Morocco in January/February 2012!! - A Big Ask But I'd Love To Get There!!

Currently £31.31 (Doing Really Well!! :A)

£144 in 144 Days Pt 1
This is all going to be from earning an extra pound every day from Overtime at Work, starting Wednesday 9th August. This first part is going to be for a set of the Beauty and the Beast DVD's (remember the old Series with Linda Hamilton and Ron Perlman?) and also a new MP3 Player.

Currently £20/£144 (Finally Made A Start!! :j)

£144 in 144 Days Pt 2
This second part will be for what I call my "Soho Fund"....And that's for some fun things from Soho (I think I might leave that one for all your imaginations!! LoL :rotfl:)

Currently £20/£144 (Finally Made A Start!! :j)

£144 in 144 Days Pt 3
This third part will be for a Table for Two (haven't decided who with yet!!) and a Meal and the Show for the Wam Bam Burlesque Club in London for January or February of next Year. It looks amazing there but the Tickets for a Meal combined with the Show is £70 each..so that should work out nicely then!! :T

Currently £20/£144 (Finally Made A Start!! :j)

Writing A Book Challenge
So, I've been meaning to write a Book for ABSOLUTELY AGES!!! But never actually gotten around to it. So now I'm going to write one...Even if it never gets Published, so what, I'll still have written a Book. First step is to find out about practical stuff - ie: How many chapters should there be, how many words per chapter, etc. Then a Synopsis of the Book. Then start writing it....Oooooooh scary!!! - Nothing done so far, MUST get started!!

Losing The Weight For ME!!
So, I'm currently MASSIVELY overweight..by about 10 stones (and no, I'm NOT exaggerating). I'm currently Ummmm'ing and Aaaaaaah'ing over Joining Slimming World and I'm not sure right now. So at least for this Week my Plans for Weight-Loss are on Hold until I decide what to do.

Start Weight: To Be Confirmed
Weight Lost: 0 pounds so far

Glad your mouth is a little better. Dental pain is no fun I know.
Hope you're met your targets by now.

Sometimes sleep is the thing you really need. Once I've done what I need to do I suspect I might sleep loads.

Look after yourself & will catch up later xx

DreamerHelen

Really struggling here...that's why I haven't posted in a couple of days...Just haven't had the energy...

My Mouth Pain got worse and I threw up yesterday...

And now the Pain is almost constantly there...I'm keeping it just about under control with VERY strong Painkillers....but I'm left feeling sick for most of the time...

My Work has gone by the wayside...I know I need to Work but I just haven't been able to over the past couple of days...Have managed to re-jig my Budget to be able to cope with it and I don't have to Work tonight if I don't want to but I will try and do at least a few hours if I can....

Managed to add a little to my Budweiser Bottle - So am now up to £34.02 for that...which I'm really proud of....Hopefully I WILL be able to take that short Trip away to Morocco!!

Anyway...that's me....Struggling but still here...

Hovel_lady

So sorry you're not feeling great have a :grouphug:

Can you go back to the dentist and get them to hurry up your appointment? Was it December? That's too far away if you're in a lot of pain.

Thinking of you & catch up when you can xx
