    Hello :wave:

    I've been reading your diary over the last couple of days and just wanted to say hello.

    I'm sorry things are so tough for you at the moment - thinking of you especially because of the trial.

    You're doing really well with your sealed pot :T
    Mine is mostly full of pennies...:cool:

    Aww thanks Upsidedown Bear....I really appreciate you keeping an eye on me....that's very sweet....

    I hit my Target last night...got to bed around 4.30am and got up again at 8.30am....and now I'll be Working for the next 24 hours...With breaks obviously though!!

    I'm determined to hit this Week's Target come hell or high water!!

    Next Week is the Trial and I'm really scared....but trying not to think about it at the moment....All I can do is go there and tell the truth about what happened....and that's all I can do....So that's what I'm going to do....

    Next Weekend I was supposed to be going to Paris but I can't justify the expense....so I'm not going....

    But I AM going to the Zoo which is my all-time favourite Place in London....I can't wait!!! I love to take Pictures and so hope to have loads of Pictures from that....I'm going next Sunday....and really looking forward to that....that's going to be my treat for having to have the stress of the Trial....

    Anyway...Must get on with my day....

    Love and Hugs, Helen xXx

    So I won £10 on a Scratchcard this morning....And it was only a £1 Scratchcard....so I'm feeling pretty good about that....so I'm putting it towards my Challenges (see below)....

    I'm feeling pretty positive this Afternoon....Trying not to think about Monday....There will be plenty of time to think about that on Monday Morning....This Weekend I'm going to just Work....get to my Target and just KEEP GOING!!

    Did some Food Shopping....so I'm all set for the Week....And even got some Healthy Food as opposed to just rubbish!! LoL :D

    So yes....Getting there slowly....

    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.

    £57.18/£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!!

    £22/£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.

    £6.80/£750

    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
