    Yeah, I AM going to continue with writing my Essay....definitely...

    Well my Grandad down here is home and doing okay....They aren't going to do anything about the Seizure as they say that if he only has one every 12 months then that's not so bad....and the Grandad up north is going for his first appointment for Radiotherapy on Thursday but we don't know if they are actually going to give him Radiotherapy or just an appointment to discuss it....

    So, no real news really....I just have to try not to worry....and realise that I need to look after ME and my Finances as they are important as well....

    This Thursday's Pay is all about just keeping things ticking over....but NEXT Thursday (15th August) I'll be paying off the Peachy PayDay Loan completely....Plus Grandma Loan (£20) and my Friend Carol Loan (£35)....

    So if I'm going to pay that off I need to really pull my socks up and get going with my Target....I'm GOING to do it this Week....I don't care how tired I get....I'm just going to do it...

    That will be good to get clear of another PD loan, and to repay your friend, I bet you that your grandma will sneak you the money straight back .. lol, thats the kind of thing mine used to do .. sneak us kids a pound when mum wasnt looking ! lol

    Is the Moorcroft one ongoing , or is that a one off final payment ? (see Im updating that list you sent me ! lol ) Ohh and I just noticed the NIC :(

    Youre getting there, I really want you to make this week a great one. :)
    Its just a bad day, Not a bad life .. :cool:

    The Moorcroft is ongoing until next Year sometime....And yes, I know I still have to pay the National Insurance one....Annoying but HAS to be paid....

    But I STILL haven't taken out a Loan of ANY kind...No PayDay Loans....No Loans from Friends....

    Grandma might possible try and refuse it but I'll try and give it to her anyway....It will make me feel better to give it back to her....she's not rich after all!!

    I'm doing okay....Getting there slowly....

    Thats really good news, and fantastic if you can break out of that trap. They really seem to pull people in and make it difficult to escape. They make me really mad that theyre preying on people when theyre at their lowest.

    So how much/little have you gotten to so far ?
    Hopefully tonight will pick up and your regular squeeze might pop on to see you ;)

    Hi Helen, yes, it really is a miserable day with the weather today isn't it!!! Never mind, the forecast is better for the rest of the week I think. :j

    I best it was really nice having a good 24hours away from the phones. I know that you really need to earn, but I also think that without a good 24 hour break now and then you will probably go insane..... :mad:

    BUT - break over, you now need to get on with it and earn your pennies for this week. Good luck for tonight, will be thinking of you.
    :money:

    I hope youre on the lines even if youre not in here , and i hope youre not poorly again, or your internet has let you down, or your grandads taken a turn for the worse. Helen, you need those hours hun.

    Internet DID let me down but NOT the Phones so was still able to Work....then took a couple of hours to sleep...and now am logging back on in about 1 minute's time....

    It's soooooooo frustrating with the Internet being down...means I can't check my Wages or come on here or anything!! But hopefully it is back for good now....One can only hope!!

    Pesto hun...it WAS good to be away from the Phones for 24 hours....and I agree, now is the time to carry on and make a start on THIS Week's earnings....I will prove that the last few weeks have NOT just been a flash in the pan....and that I can be consistent!!

    Mara hun...It IS good to be out of the PayDay Loan Trap....Feels really really good....I'm not going to have ANY spare money at all this Week....but I've got food in the fridge and so I'll be just fine...

    Right...time to Log back on....I'll be here until 8am....And will keep you Updated throughout the Night (assuming Internet doesn't go down again!!)

    Chat Later xXx

    Well I'm on quite a loooooong Call right now....Which is good....I could do with a few more of these....He's been on for nearly an hour....which is not at all bad....

    So, I'm still here....

    I'm tired....but determined to keep on going....even if I haven't earned much over the last 24 hours....at least I have kept on going....That's the main thing....

    I WILL get there this Week....I'm DETERMINED....
