Good morning

Hope you get your sink sorted out. Do you have a target for today?

Doing something that isn't "normal" behaviour can have strange effects on you so I wouldn't worry too much. Is your sub-consious trying to tell you something?
xx

I hope I get my sink sorted out too!! My Bathroom will require being Cleaned today as it's starting to smell from me throwing up in it!! :eek:

I'm not sure if my Sub-Conscious is trying to tell me something...Possibly...I have no idea about my sub-conscious right now....

My Target for today/overnight is £134...which is HUGE...but I Have ALL day today and overnight....I'm just hoping I don't feel sick again....I really HAVE to hit my Target ASAP!!

5) Auschwitz, Dachau and belsen belsen
6) The Yangtze River
7) Patrick Swayze's Final Resting Place

Right....Off to go and cook Boiled Eggs for Brekkie...Catch you all later...xxx

Hovel_lady

You might need to be away for more than 2015
Sounds fab. Enjoy your dreaming about it until you are actually doing it.

Lob a boiled egg this way if you have one to spare please
xx

The_Dragon

Blimey that list is 2015 to 2025 :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

Can I have an egg sarnie please and I hope you feel okay AND that your bathroom gets sorted out

DreamerHelen

What is it about you two that you are craving Eggs all of a sudden?

*Lobs a boiled egg to Hovel Lady*...There you go hun, enjoy!!

I'm not lobbing an Egg Sarnie to you The Dragon cause it might fall apart.... *Gently Hands an Egg Sarnie to The Dragon*

Just had a lovely long shower....washed my hair twice and it feels lovely now....Now I'm sat here with a towel wrapped around my head and waiting for it to dry a bit before I can dry it with a hair dryer...

Mum coming around at 10.30am :eek: Scary....she always seems to find something to criticise about my Flat....I'm really trying to get my Flat sorted out (in between being sick!!)....But it DOES take time!! At least I'm all caught up with the Washing Up....my Mini Trofast is sorted out....and my Paperwork is sorted...Also have sorted out my main big Shelves, just have to polish them and put the Books in some sort of order... So I feel like I've done a lot over the last few days....But Mum probably won't see it like that....maybe she'll surprise me, who knows!!

Yeah, I suppose that list IS a bit long for 6-9 months... But hey, I can dream about them...and nearer the time I can decide the things that HAVE to be done over the things that i can do another time....

I know for CERTAIN that I HAVE to climb to Everest Base Camp....This is the one thing that people have ridiculed me for, they laugh at me when I tell them this dream....they scoff and tell me there is no way I can do it....Well of course I can't climb actual Everest....there's only a handful of people in the World that can climb the actual mountain...but I CAN And WILL climb to the Base Camp....yes I have to be fit...and healthy...but it is MORE than possible...and it is an achievable dream and one that i WILL do!! And then the people that laughed at me can apologise to me when they see that I've done it!!

Anyway....been go and dry my hair...catch ya all later xxx

DreamerHelen

So I'm back....

Mum came and unblocked my Drain...it's now smelling a LOT better in my bathroom LoL...I must sound so disgusting to you guys...I try not to be...But I hadn't realised that you shouldn't throw up into a sink - Next time use the Loo!! LoL

Ever since I came off my Antibiotics on Sunday night I have felt sick and dizzy and even threw up on Monday...I'm wondering if this is because of the Infection that I know I have in my body that they are sending me to have the Colonoscopy for??

So I'm going back to the Doctor's tomorrow...And I might ask if they can put me on permanent Antibiotics until I get a proper Diagnosis...not sure if I'm allowed to do that but no harm in asking!!

Went over to Mum's this afternoon which was nice....and treated myself to Fish and Chips tonight - Something I have been craving for AGES!! So that's my Food done for tonight...Also won £11 on a couple of Scratchcards so that's good.

I'm going to bed fairly soon...Going to try and get up early into the night to do some Work...not sure what my Target will be tonight...Got to work it out...

Hope you're all well...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 it from Ebay Sales and extra Wages.

Currently £0/£4100 (Slow Start But I'll Get There, Aiming For at least £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/£700 (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 £55.52 (Getting There!! :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 Month 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

Hello :wave:

Just lurking in your diary again

Hope you had a fab time at the theatre.

Catch up soon xx

DreamerHelen

Well, I'm not really sure where to start...So much has happened since I last posted and things have been hectic and difficult and I just didn't want to post or write anything...

I have messed up yet again but feel like I've finally turned a corner...

I have realised that I am an Adult and if I want things to happen in my Life then I need to make them happen!!

I haven't been Working as much as I should be doing...I should be doing between 70 and 75 hours per week when in fact I'm only doing between 12 and 15 hours per week which is NOT good enough!!

I've decided not to save up for my College Fees as it would have meant I had to save £275 per week from now until Christmas which is pretty much impossible!! Whereas if I just pay Monthly next Year then it's just £90 per week which I think is more achieveable.

I had a WONDERFUL night at the Theatre last night...Thoroughly enjoyed myself...sobbed my way through it..I find it a major Release of emotion when I get to go to the Theatre....So I've decided to save an extra £20 per week towards going to the Theatre once per month...

I've booked a Ticket to see Alfie Boe in Concert in Plymouth next Year and it's the day before my Birthday...so instead of going to Morocco I'm going to treat myself to a nice Hotel in Plymouth (and see my Brother and Family while I'm down there cause they live just outside Plymouth)....

Tonight I have a Target of £110...which feels like a lot but I'm trying to cut it down into bitesize chunks so I do a little bit at a time...if that makes sense...

I have, unfortunately, spent the money I had saved for my £144 in 144 days challenges...but plan on earning it back over the next few weeks...so should still be on track for the end of the Year...

Hope that all makes sense....Love and Hugs, Helen xxx

Glad you're back :j

Theatre sounds fab - I love going when/if I have any money.

Don't worry about messing up, we all do it.
You're doing great - I'm still believing you can be your own hero.
