Don't worry no-one is going to judge you on here. I'd guessed what your job was but it's none of my business so that's why I haven't commented.
Really hope you meet your target tonight.

Well done on the £65 :j
xx

Awww thanks hun.....I'm glad you don't judge me....Sometimes I judge myself though....But that's a whole other issue!!

Well I've been on a Phone Call with one Guy for over 30 minutes so far...so that's great!!

£65 is a great start! What is the Terramundi money going towards?

Well I'm going to an Exhibition at Olympia in November....it's a bit risque so I'd better not mention the name of it...But I'm going to spend the Money there.... Completely frivilous and not very MSE...but I AM saving for other stuff that IS MSE so I thought I'd treat myself....

LoL I agree

Been a hard Night so far.....Not doing great with my Target but have re-jigged my Budget (AGAIN!!! :mad:) and have a slightly lower Target for the whole Week...so that's not too bad...

I have £184 left to make before Sunday morning....So that's pretty good!! I'm debating with myself whether to get some more sleep or Work for a little while....

I'm expecting a Delivery tomorrow and hoping it will come in the morning so I can make a Start on my next bit of Target...

Feeling tired and my Teeth are hurting again...Seems to be worse at night...which is hard because that's when I tend to Work!! But I'm hoping with some painkillers it will settle back down....

DreamerHelen

So, I worked this morning from 2am until 5am...the longest I've worked all week so I'm really proud of myself....I know it doesn't sound like much but it really felt like an achievement to me...

So I earned an Extra £20 that contributes towards todays Target....

So todays Target is £64....So it's not too bad....and I only have £164 in total to earn before Sunday morning so I'm really really pleased with that!!

Haven't got any Totals to Update although I'm still waiting for my Terramundi to arrive today so once I get that I can put in £65 and can Update my Totals then!! :j :T :j

Feeling quite positive and proud of myself right now... :A

Hovel_lady

Proud of you too :T

The_Dragon

Well done you :j, and I think I found the exhibition you are going to and yes I can see why you didn't write it here (looks fun though! and begins with an E )

Morning Hovel Lady and The Dragon....Hope you are both well this morning

Awwww thanks Hovel Lady for saying you're proud of me....Sometimes it helps to know that I'm not completely alone!!

The Dragon, yep you're right....and it IS fun....I went last year and although I was ill that day I had an absolute blast!! I've bought two tickets for this Year and had plans to go with my now Ex...so not sure if I'm still going to go with him or go with someone else....who knows, I'm sure I'll figure it out nearer the time...it's not until November after all!!

YAY My Terramundi arrived... :j :j :j I've already put some money in it and can't wait to put some more in it....So now I've got Totals to update!!

Will catch up with you all later....for now I'm just waiting for a Phone Call and then I'm off to catch some Zzzzzzz's...

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 £65/£565 (I've Finally Got My Terramundi, Have Started With The Saving Already!! :j)

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: :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!!! - 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 kind of enjoyed my Zzzzzzz's....but I don't sleep very well during the day so it was a bit of a disturbed sleep....but still, at least I HAVE slept...

Going to have something to eat very shortly and then get going with today's Target of £64....hopefully I can achieve it before too long since I have to be up early in the morning...so need to be in bed at a decent time...
