Awwww thanks Robsmum hun.....It IS really scary to basically be relying solely on the Income that I make and NOT NOT NOT borrowing anymore money from anyone....But I CAN and WILL do it...

And yes, after tonight I will be a quarter of the way there...I hadn't really thought about that....but it's true...and it feels good because I know this will be a struggle to get Qualified...but i WILL get there...Eventually

LoL Well done you....That's great news!!

Well I've already started to look at some of the Challenges that are being put on for 2012 - I'm not jumping and joining any just yet because I'm always doing that, jumping in and then regretting it because I haven't thought it through.

But a couple of the Challenges have stood out to me, one in particular is the "Pay a Debt Off in 2012"....And you can start with your Lowest Debt...which for me is my Capital One Card...so I might well join that one in December or January.

I'll probably also give the "£365 in 365 Days" Challenge another try...It didn't work for me this Year but that was MY fault, not the Challenge's fault!!

Soooo, this Weekend is "That Exhibition" at Olympia..and I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!! I am taking the grand massive total of....(wait for it).....(and note the sarcasm).....£35!!!! :rotfl: But hey....I owe so much money to various people that if I was taking hundreds with me it would be silly and I wouldn't feel right about it....It's enough for one thing at least...and hey, it's not like I actually have anyone to use any Items I might buy with!! (If that makes sense )

So tonight I have a low-ish Target of £60...Not too bad and I should make that by about 5am....

And then tomorrow night I have been given a FREE Ticket to go and see Les Miserables at the Theatre...And I can't wait for that...

So this Weekend is going to be a CRACKING ONE!!!

Anyway...that's my Update....Catch you all later...

Love and Hugs, Helen xxx

Hi Helen,
Lucky you going to see Les Miserables! Also enjoy the exhibition. Sounds like a good weekend lies ahead. Enjoy yourself.:beer:

DreamerHelen

Thank you Robsmum...Les Mis was WONDERFUL!!! I cried for most of it....so much so that I was almost not able to breathe..LoL....but it was FABULOUS...

I met up with a Friend beforehand and we wandered around looking at various Shops and wandering through Covent Garden....it was just lovely....very relaxing.

Tried to come home and Work but it was sooooo quiet that I decided to get some sleep and now I'm up again to try and work for a few hours before I head off to Olympia...

IT'S TODAY!!!!!! "That Exhibition" is on today...and I cannot wait....but most of all I'm just looking forward to spending time with my Friend that I'm going with...he's one of my Best Friends but we rarely go out together....so I'm most looking forward to seeing him and spending time with him...

So, another 10 minutes and I'm logging on....at 6.30am....and hopefully it will be busier...

Love and Hugs, Helen xxx
