Morning Everyone....

Well the past few days have been somewhat traumatic....I'll try to explain...

I tried my hardest last Week but couldn't make my Target and so by Sunday I was in floods of tears because I just couldn't pay everything to everyone...and especially Rent which obviously is really important...

I sobbed down the Phone to my Mum on Sunday morning and she simply said that I should come up for the Afternoon to see them - She said that I needed some time off and so that was what I was going to do....

So I did...And Mum helped me out with some money and my Grandparents saw what a mess I was in and decided to give me some money towards some of the Bills as well!! So I ended up the Weekend with money in my Bank AND in my Pocket...

But I haven't gone mad with it...In the past I might have done something stupid like ordered a Takeaway with it or spent it on Scratchcards...but I haven't done that this time...

I DID buy a couple of little scratchcards but not the £10 ones that I sometimes buy when I've got money....so I feel really proud of that...

So I've managed to put some money onto my Challenges AND use some for Bills....so I feel really positive at the moment...I AM going to get there!! I just have to keep on going...

So that's all my news...I'll Update again soon...

Love and Hugs, Helen xXx

THE STUFF OF DREAMS 2013

Sealed Pot 2013

So I want to have enough money to pay for Christmas 2013 without having to borrow anything. This Challenge is mostly going to come from what I have left in my purse after shopping.

£50.32/£510

£2 Savers

I would love love love to go to New York City for my Birthday next Year and want to have a REALLY great time there. I will be saving extra money each Week from my Wages and my Target for next Year is £2000 which I know sounds like a lot but it will give me my first proper Holiday in about 5 years and I'll be able to do it in STYLE!!

£8/£2000

20p Savers

I am self-employed and so need to save up a Week's Wages to cover when I am in NYC in January so that's what this is.

£1.60/£750

College Fees


I am in my 3rd Year of a 4-Year Diploma Training to be Psychotherapist and I need £2300 to pay for my last Year of Training.

£0/£2300

USA Trip Nov 2014

I used to live and Work in the USA and really want to go back there at the end of my Course for about 35 days which is going to cost a fair bit. I haven't worked out how much it's going to Cost but I figured I would save £50 per week.

£0/£50 pw

October Show

I am planning on going to a well-known Show in October, it's a bit risque so I won't say what it is but it should be fun!!

£0/£625

Weight Loss Clothes

So I need to lose about 8 Stones at least....And when I've done that I'm going to need to buy some new Clothes!! So that's what this is for.

£0/£1500

Weight Loss Challenge

So as I said above, I've got about 8 stones to lose which is 112 pounds....Now I might not lose all of that by next January but I'd like to make a damn good start on it. Going to go to Slimming World in May.

0/112 pounds

Thanks hun....My Family are AMAZING and I don't know what I would do without them....

The even better news is that, with the help of my Mum and Grandparents, my Course Fee's are up to date....And I already have the Fees for the rest of this Year so I'm all sorted...that's a really big load off my mind....it was the main thing I was worried about...but it's all sorted out now!!

I paid back some money that I owed to a Friend today which feels really great as well....

Just have to meet my Target for this Week now...that will be a BIG achievement if I can do that....and I'm determined to get there....Just have to work through the tiredness....and I WILL do...

The other thing I really want to do is to sort out a Spreadsheet for my Payments to my Debtors...but I'm not great with Excel...and it's complicated by the fact that I am paying them on a Weekly Basis rather than Monthly so I'm not sure what to do about that...but I'm sure I'll figure it out!!

Hello,

Very glad you have a lovely family to help you.

I am sure you will get through Helen. I am sure of it.

If you let me know the type of thing you want I could set up an Open Office (free!) spreadsheet for you and email it to you

DreamerHelen

Thanks Buffy hun....I know I will get through it eventually....I just have to believe in myself....

Dragon...Aww bless you hun...you're so sweet. I'm going to give it a go myself and if I can't do it then I will certainly shout for some help...Thank you xxx

Afternoon Everyone....Hope you are all well today...

Well I have just had a LOVELY morning...My Brother, Sister-in-Law and my 5 nephews and nieces all came up from Cornwall for the Weekend and I just saw them all at Mum's for the morning....

Was soooooooo lovely to see them as I haven't managed to see them since last July....

I got to take some Piccies and then I had to come home to Work while they've gone off galivanting for the Afternoon....so that's a bit sad that I couldn't go with them...

But tomorrow I get the WHOLE DAY OFF to go to London with them...They want to see Buckingham Palace, the Houses of Parliament, Big Ben and the M&M Shop in Leicester Square... :rotfl: Could be a bit of a hectic day then!! But I can't wait and should have lots more Piccies by the end of tomorrow....So I'm really looking forward to that.

I have my Pre-Trial Visit on Monday which I'm not especially looking forward to....It is basically where I go around the Court and look around and get prepared for what will happen at the Trial....Which is only 2 weeks away...

But right now I'm going to focus on getting through my Work tonight....I have £105 to earn between now and tomorrow morning....which is quite a lot but is do-able...

Have also managed to add some money to my Challenges...see below...

Love and Hugs, Helen xXx
