A day doing nothing - sounds fab to me
And a subsidised meal too.
Hope work goes OK. Do you have targets to meet tonight?

Hey Hun

Yep, tonight I have a Target of £57...so not too bad....At tomorrow is the second highest pay of the Week (1st highest is Sundays)....So it shouldn't take too long to get to my Target...

I'm going to bed very very shortly and aiming to be up again at 2am....

Yeah, it was a lovely Day and I really feel very relaxed and chilled out.... for once!! :rotfl:

Morning Everyone

Well it's now 4.15am....I got up slightly later than I wanted to but it's okay, I can just stay on until I've earned what I need to earn - Which is £57...

I'm feeling really really tired....but I'll get it together....Trying to stay positive but at almost 4.30am it's difficult...LoL....but I'll get there!!

Sooooo....chat to you all later

Hovel_lady

Good morning
Hope you reached your target.
Do you have plans for the weekend?

Morning Sweetie....

Nope...didn't achieve Target....was absolutely dead this morning....so I decided to get some Sleep and then Work this Afternoon and Evening instead...

I don't usually Work afternoon's....but it's pretty well-paid on a Saturday Afternoon/Evening/Night so that should work out quite well...I HOPE!!

I've still got £135 to earn before the end of Tomorrow night....But I want to earn it by tomorrow morning...and then I'll have the day free since the next Pay Period doesn't start until Midnight tomorrow night...

Nope, no Plans for this Weekend apart from Working!! :eek: :eek: :eek:

What about you hun, any Plans?

I'm planning on being on here rather a lot over the next 24 hours so expect to see me Posting a lot of drivel!! :rotfl: (what else is new I hear you say!! )

Right...starting at 2.30pm which is in 2 minutes so I'd better get myself logged on!! :T

The Stuff of Dreams

Save £4100 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 £4100 - I'll be paying a LOT of it from Tax Repayments and the rest will come from Ebay Sales and extra Wages.

Currently £6/£4100 (Made A Start At Last!!)

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 Bottle 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.

This is for my Flight/Hotel/Food/Spends/Excursions on my Trip to Morocco in January 2012!! - A Big Ask But I'd Love To Get There!!

Currently £9.79 (Still a fair way to go!! :eek:)

£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). I've looked at my Budget and I can't really afford Slimming World so I'm going to do it by myself. I've decided that Weigh-In will be on a Monday so I need to get weighed on Monday at my Local Chemist, will post my Weight then!!

Start Weight: To Be Confirmed
Weight Lost: 0 pounds so far

DreamerHelen

Doing really well so far....Up to almost £5 in just 40 minutes....So I'm really pleased....

Feeling really positive right now....don't know why but I'm not going to question it... :cool:

I AM going to make my £135 Target... :T

DreamerHelen

Well it's now nearly 5pm and I have still got £124 to make before tomorrow night....but hoping to make it by the morning!!

I just have to accept that I won't be getting any sleep anytime soon....But at least that means I should be able to have tomorrow as my Day Off...which will be nice....and it will be worth staying up all night tonight!! I hope!!

DreamerHelen

Right....I've taken some time out to grab a bite to eat...And now I'm logging on for the next bit....5.30pm until 11.30pm....and then we'll see where I am at that time....

I've still got £124 until I hit my Target.

Everything in me is saying "Oh for goodness sake Helen, just re-jig your Budget again, don't bother working for it, things will happen and you'll make it"....But I DO know that it is that kind of thinking that got me in this Trouble in the first place!!

Yes, I COULD re-jig my Budget again and yes it would mean I'd get the rest of the Weekend off...but what would that achieve? It means I'd have to still Work hard come midnight tomorrow night...and I might as well get used to Working hard NOW rather than later!!

I'm just going to give myself a good talking to and just get on with it!!

So, logging on in 7 minutes and staying on until 11.30pm when I'll take 30-60 minutes off and see where I am then...

But I'm sure I'll be back to give you all an Update before then

DreamerHelen

So, it's now almost 7.30pm and last time I checked I had earned £12 - So another £112 to go!!

It's gone really really quiet....so I'm hoping it will pick up a bit!!

We'll see!! But I'm still feeling rather positive....and I'm not too tired right now...
