    Well Done Mara for losing so much Weight!! That's fantastic!!

    I have done my Tesco Delivery Shopping to be delivered on Sunday....and have ordered some Fruit and Veg and some Eggs on the advice of Mum who said I need to NOT be eating too much Cereal as there is no protein in it...So I promised her I would start eating some Protein....and I WILL make time to cook next Week....

    Am all sorted for the Afternoon Shift now....Let's hope it's a busy one....Can't wait until 8pm tonight and then Midnight and then 2am when the Rates go up and up and up with it being a Weekend!!

    Feeling a bit tired but i'll move past that and just keep on Working...

    Phones are quite quiet this Afternoon....not sure if it's because it's Friday or not....

    I usually watch TV but I also do Surveys as well....The Kitchen is too far from my Phone for me to cook at the same time....

    I'll carry on and hope it will get busier....

    :cool: just checking in between washing the pots and cleaning out the fridge, i don't know why i have the need to leave the house clean when I'm going away, i guess id be mortified if burglars broke into a messy house !

    Just the big county show to work tomorrow then Im jetting off on sunday ... Only to Glasgow, then abroad early on monday morning. The dog situation has been nervously rectified, but i know my brother will make sure she is ok if the ppl supposed to be looking after her back out.

    I hope the pounds are adding up now, you have a few commitments that have to be cleared in the next two weeks i see. And youre going to do it. I have faith, and will look for an updated list when i come back :T

    Ok off to the depths of my fridge ! Call out the rescue squad if im not seen in an hour !! :rotfl:
    Its just a bad day, Not a bad life .. :cool:

    Hey Mara.....Glad to hear that the Dog situation has been rectified....And I'm sure you can't wait to jet off on Sunday....

    This Afternoon has been sooooooooooooo quiet....Although I DID get a longer Call just before 7pm so I'm taking a slightly later break than usual....

    I'm about to give up the will to live so I'm taking a slightly longer break and I'm going to Log back on at 10pm.....I'm wondering if my Regular might be on around 10pm so that's why I'm logging on then....

    Fingers crossed it will be busier tonight....

    But, I'm sticking with it....I'm not giving up!!

    I'm up to £235....but feeling really stressed with it....

    Right now I'm sat here close to tears....really really really don't feel like doing the Night Shift but I know I have to....so I will....but I'll see how I'm doing by 6am and if I can I'll go to sleep then and take some of the morning to relax....

    Just feeling stressed out right now....but I guess I'll be okay...I usually am...

    Im glad you did. Now sit back, close your eyes a minute, picture somewhere youve been really happy, florida maybe ? Now think ahead, once youve cleared the debts, or at least most of them ... You can start saving for that trip.
    Its hard now, but it will be worth it, and deep down, you know that.
    You can do this, you are a strong lady .. Not a string lady like i just mistyped ! You just need to keep up the momentum .... And earn your first reward ;)


    Ps .. This time last week you were at £139 , youre doing really well hun, considering you lost time when you were poorly yesterday :)

    Thanks Mara hun.....I know I'm doing okay this Week but I just don't know how to get through this Night Shift tonight...

    I know that in the future it will be nice to get away and be able to spend my money on things that aren't Debt....but right now that feels like a long long long way away!!

    I guess I just have to keep on going....
