DreamerHelen's New Diary - "Ad Astra per Aspera"

DreamerHelen

Thanks Dragon.....Thats what I'm trying to do....especially since its going to be at least another couple of years until i can give up the Chatlines....So why not earn as much as I can and have fun while doing it!! :T

And thanks beccie....I am trying really hard to stay positive....long may it continue....

Sounding good! Hope the positive attitude is continuing. I adopted the same arttitude to work and made a big diffrence.

DreamerHelen

Yet again it's been a while since I've posted on here...Sorry Guys....

I've been struggling yet again....It feels like "when will I ever learn"....I'm constantly being hounded by Debt Collectors that are trying to get me to pay them and right now I have NOTHING to pay them....

But the stupid thing is that I'm spending about £50 on Food (stupid food, unhealthy food) and I can't afford to be spending that....and it's not helping my Dieting either!!

Still haven't lost any Weight....I'm finding that really really hard Work....but I guess nothing is worth anything unless you really work for it....but sometimes it's hard to stick that into my mind.

I'm thinking of going back to "Overeaters Anonymous" because I genuinely think I have a real problem with Food Addiction....And that's not good....They work on the same basis as AA....and I know there is one on a Sunday early Evening that does Meditation and that is a great way for me to get some things into my head...so I might do that this Weekend....we'll see how Work goes.

Work is going pretty badly too....and I had a bust-up with my Mum at the beginning of the Week....all about money....so that's not good...although she doesn't hold grudges so at least that's a good thing!!

Anyway....feeling pretty down today....but I hope things can get better soon....they simply have to...

So that's my Update...not great....but things have been worse and I've gotten through them....so it's not all bad...not yet...

Love and Hugs, Helen xxx

THE STUFF OF DREAMS FOR 2012

Xmas 2012
So, every year I struggle to pay for Christmas and end up having to borrow Money from People. So this Year I want to Save up enough Money to pay for Christmas without borrowing.

Total So Far: £0

Olympia 2012
Yes, I'm going to "That Exhibition" again this Year. For those of you who don't know what I mean, I don't want to mention the name of it cause it's a little bit risque but I always have fun there...and this Year I am determined (there's that word again!) to save up some money every week towards it.

Total So Far: £0

Wam Bam Club 2013
I really really want to go to the Wam Bam Burlesque Club for a Night Out and I really wanted to do it this Year but simply couldn't afford it. So I'm going to save a small amount each Week to be able to afford it in January or Febuary next Year with a Friend. It usually costs around £150 for two people for a Meal and the Show, so that's what I'm aiming for.

Total So Far: £0

Good to see you posting again Helen and hopefully you are on the up again!

DreamerHelen

Hi Everyone....It's been such a long time since I've posted and things have been very very difficult....but I'm getting there slowly.

I'm still trying to earn my Money by Working....as we all have to.....and I'm slowly getting there....The Self-Discipline thing is still difficult for me but each day I get a little better at it....

I've completely re-jigged my Goals for this Year...decided that some have to be to Repay things like College and some have to save up for Christmas....but I also want a couple of Treats in there too for the rest of the Year....

I'm frantically trying to keep on top of things financially....although I haven't been keeping on top of my Debts....and I know I need to...So that's a major Goal for this Month - to start repaying my Debts again and find out how much I owe and what can be paid each month.

Anyway....I'll try to post more regularly...

THE STUFF OF DREAMS FOR 2012



College Fees Repay
I have stupidly gotten behind on my College Fees (I am retraining to be a Psychotherapist)...and so I want to be back on top by the end of the Year.

£0/£800

Xmas 2012
I always struggle to pay for Christmas and usually end up having to ask Mum to help me out. This Year I want to pay up front without having to pay anything back!!

£0/£300

LAM October
In October I am going to the LAM (please look this up if you want to know what it is). It's a little risque so I won't say too much about it, but you can always google it if you're interested!! Anyway, I want some money to spend at it!!

£0/£250

BBB December
Again this is a little risque and please google it if you want to know what it is....but I want some serious money to treat myself so I'm saving Weekly for this event.

£0/£500

ZSL Season Ticket
London Zoo is pretty much my favourite place in London. I used to Work at SeaWorld in Florida and this is the nearest I can get to being back there, if that makes sense!! I tend to go once every 6 weeks or so and therefore I really should get a Season Ticket as it makes more sense rather than spending £25 every time.

£0/£100

ISA Savings Pot
I have absolutely ZERO savings most of the time (and that's mainly because I seem to be incapable of saving money). But I want to have a small amount of savings in case I am ill or want to take some time off Work...so that's what this is for and will be gotten from extra money that I earn.

So Far.... £13.77

Good to see you back DreamerHelen! Hopefully things have settled down and concerted money earning/saving can now happen (oh and any chance of you cancing the colour of the London Zoo goal - I could barely read it!)
