    Part of the Furniture 1,000 Posts Combo Breaker I've been Money Tipped!
    Thanks Hovel Lady and Dragon....

    Things aren't great.... :(

    Went to see the Doctor and the best he could offer me is to send an URGENT Referral to Gasterentorology for a Colonoscopy - He said that he couldn't do anything else for me....But I suppose he did give me some more painkillers...

    Just feeling crappy for most of the time.....Sometimes I feel a bit better but most of the time I just feel crappy :(

    I don't know what to do for the best....I can't go back to the Dentist as they can't do anything....The Doctor said he can't do anything...So all I can do is keep taking my Painkillers and get on with things...

    On the Plus side, I am nearly up to £50 in my Budweiser Bottle.... :T :j :T

    So at least there is some good news!!

    I know I'll be fine but it just feels pretty rough right now!!

    Thanks hun....Yes it was very annoying and I felt like someone had squeezed all the air out of me (like a balloon)....But right now I'm feeling a bit better (this could all change later on) so I'm going to Work from 7.30pm onwards...Need to start earning money for my next Payday...

    Thank you for the Congratulations on the Budweiser Bottle...I'm really really pleased with the amount I've managed to Save up!! Just hope I don't need to spend it for any reason....I'm going to do my utmost to keep it where it is!! :T :T :T

    All in all....feeling a bit better right now.... :)

    Sorry the doctor couldn't help, hope the urgent referral arrives very soon.

    I second The Dragon - well done on the £50 :T

    Thank you hun....I DO feel really proud of myself for managing to save up this much money!! :D

    I am really struggling to start Work again....Was supposed to be starting at 7.30pm but just couldn't do it....I'm so used to not Working that I'm finding it difficult to get back into it....

    It's now almost 2am...I just HAVE to start and hopefully I will get back into it...As one of the adverts says - "Just Do It"... :D
  • Morning Everyone... :)

    Well I'm feeling pretty much okay today....Appetite almost completely gone though...although I DID manage to go out to Lunch with Mum, Grandma and Grandad and had a Tuna Mayo Jacket Potato...so that's not too bad...

    Mind you...It's not like I'll waste away if I don't eat much!! LoL... :D

    Finally got over the £50 mark on my Budweiser Bottle Challenge...Morocco here I come for my Birthday next Year!!! :j :T :j Once I've got enough money for a Flight I might well just go ahead and book it...We'll see....depends on when my Dental Work is... :eek:

    Finally heard from the Sedation Clinic and I have a Consultation Appointment with them on 20th September and then they'll give me an Appointment for the Sedation to be done on the NHS...so won't cost as much as it would have normally since the Government pay for the Sedation part of it!! :T

    Apart from that...Work still going crappy but I'm determined to go at it this Afternoon....I WILL meet my Target by 8am tomorrow morning!! :) :money: :)

    Thank you for your Support Guys...It really means a lot to know that there are people out there rooting for me...

    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 I'll Get There, Aiming For £250 Per Week From Next Week!!)

    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/£565 (I'm Getting My Terramundi Tomorrow And Will Update Totals Then!!)

    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 £54.81 (I'm Gonna Do It!! :cool: :D :cool:)

    £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 (Roll On Christmas To Spend It!! :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 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 (Gonna Try And Go In February 2012!! :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!!! :o - 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

    I was waiting for someone to ask that... :D

    I actually work on a Chatline from home....I do NOT meet up with anyone...nor do they get my real name or details....

    I could go out to Work but I'm not really well enough to do so right now....and to be honest it suits me to be able to do the Lines cause I can earn as much or as little as the effort that I put in...if that makes sense...

    There are no set Shifts....I can literally Work for 24 hours if I like or just for a few hours....

    The problem is that I have to be self-disciplined and sometimes I'm not....Especially when I don't feel very well!!

    This suits me while I'm studying....and by the end of it I'll be qualified to Work somewhere that I can earn a VERY decent wage from...

    Hope no one judges me for this....
