I just found this one: http://talkback.writers-online.co.uk/

My computer is playing up and won't let me post it as a link so think you'll have to copy and paste it. Never posted on there, but it's linked to Writing Magazine and Writers' News, which I used to subscribe to, so reckon it could be a good one. Hope that helps.

Don't know what would happen with copyright if you posted a story online, sorry!

Awww thanks Lily hun...I'll go check out that Link later on...

Had a bad night's Work last night..just couldn't keep my eyes open! Now I have to Work an insane amount over the next few Days in order to meet my Target!!! :mad:

Still, I CAN and WILL do it!! I just have to stay positive!!

DreamerHelen

So, today I'm having a Crisis of Confidence - I broke up with someone I was only seeing for a few months but I'm finding it EXTREMELY difficult to get over him (and I told him so yesterday which I'm sure swelled his head but I had to tell him how I felt).

The thing is that I've never really had anything "Pure" with anyone other than him...with other Guys there has always been other Women for them or it's just been super-complicated....this relationship felt "Pure" and it felt like it could go somewhere...and then he decided to get back together with his Ex...I can't blame him for that as he was extremely honest with me and told me as soon as he had decided...

I don't know....Just finding it really hard to MOTIVATE MYSELF and I know I MUST do....I don't have any Money coming from anywhere else...and my Friends have done all they can to help me financially...It's about time that I STOOD ON MY OWN TWO FEET!!!

I'm off out to Placement (for my Course) fairly shortly and that usually makes me feel more positive because it reminds me what I'm working towards and what I can achieve!!

Anyway....This Diary is really helping to keep me Focussed...Long may it continue!! :T

Love and Hugs, Helen xxx

The Stuff of Dreams

Save £4305 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 £4305 and I'm not sure where that's going to come from so it'll be Ebay Sales, extra Wages, Tax Refunds (which I'm expecting in the next couple of months) and stuff like that.

Currently £1.98/£4305 (At least I've made a Start now!! :j)

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/£500 (hoped)

Budweiser Botte 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. Not sure what I'm going to spend it on yet...I'm sure I'll think of something!!

Currently £4.09

£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 £0/£144

£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 £0/£144

£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 January or 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 £0/£144

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). So I started back at Slimming World, got weighed in and, what the hell, I'm going to declare my weight at exactly 23 stones. Majorly broke my Diet this Week but I'm back on it now and determined to stick to it for the whole of the Weekend until Weigh-In on Monday....I'm going to get there. No idea what my Target Weight is yet...I guess I'll know when I get there.

Start Weight: 23 Stones
Weight Lost: 0 pounds so far (first weigh in next Monday)

Morning Everyone!! :j

Had a really really rough Week but trying to Stay Positive and relaxed about things...

I've still got a HUGE amount to earn this Weekend but hopefully I can do it...Just means not much sleep for the rest of the Weekend!!

Have managed to put a bit of money aside for my £4305 Pot....making a good start and have finally done my 10/11 Tax Return so I should get a decent amount of Tax that I've paid back from the Tax Office - Hopefully SOON!!!

Anyway....Have no idea if anyone is reading this Diary but it's helping to keep me motivated...Feel free to reply if you are reading...

Love and Hugs, Helen xxx
