    Behave yourself girl, you are supposed to be making money not spending it.

    Hi dizzy, I have missed your diary for the past few days. Well done on the fireplace, I can't wait to see the photos you keep promising!

    Your signature looks fab with the two credit cards gone and 'just' the overdraft left. I can't wait til I reach that point.

    Good luck with ebay. I've joined an ebay challenge too. So far only listed four things but I hope to add some more on Thursday. Hope yours find buyers and for more than 99p.

    Ok GR I'll do my best.:D
    Thanks Seaxwyn, I've just listed 11 items and put most at 99p but hope to get more. You never know with ebay. Hope yours do well too. Takes blimming ages to do though doesn't it?
    I was thinking about how much I've spent getting rid of my debt and when I started my diary on the 17th January 07 I still had those 8 loan payments of £275. So I added it all up and in 15 months I've paid off the grand total of.....£3,888.
    I cannot believe it!!!!
    So I shouldn't fret too much at my OD considering what I have achieved, and I know you all keep me focussed on that so big thanks to you all.:A
    Good luck on ebay hun.

    Nearly £4000 well done you. :T See you can do it. Just think by January 2009 if you keep going at the same rate you'd have paid off the OD and saved approximately £3,000. :rolleyes:

    Hope you have a good day today Diz, I'll catch you when I get home from work. x

    Lol if only GR if only.
    Went to bed again in the early hours, the birds are singing when I'm nodding off. I often get into this pattern in the school breaks. It doesn't help that OH works nights, when he's here as in the first Easter week everything runs along smoothly. As soon as he's back at work we go wild (ish) :D
    Anyway I've decided I need my hair cutting and I'm going to have a few sunbed sessions. I know that's not very good healthwise but think it'll cheer me up a bit and take the edge of how pale I look. Must get out of this dressing gown first though!

    Theres nothing wrong with a few sunbed sessions. I always have a few before I get my legs out for the summer and before I go on holidays just to get a base colour. I've tried those creams but they make me look jaundiced!

    I don't know what to do with my hair. Its past my shoulders at the moment and its got a little kink in it. If I straighten it in the morning its curly by the afternoon. I tend to pull in back in a hair clip as its so much easier. I love these sleek styles that are around at the moment but they don't suit me.

    My hair is long too GR, if I leave it to dry naturally it has waves, which I like but it's just looking out of condition at the moment. A cut will do it good.
    I don't really like using sunbeds, well I do but I worry about the side effects. They've taken the one they had at the swimming baths out because they say it's now a health and leisure centre and sunbeds aren't healthy. I liked that one as well. Was a bit dearer but more private if you see what I mean. The one I went to today is a small place and lots of hussle and bussle. I like quiet.
    Well it's Thursday tomorrow, nearly back to school. I'm looking forward to going back but I know on Sunday night I'll be thinking differently.:D
    Catch you later.

    Can you believe Thursday again..... I just don't know where the time is going. I'm sure the weeks didn't go this quick when I was younger. Can't wait for Monday to pack the kids back to school. DD is going back and I'm sure my mum is going to miss her like crazy. She'll be ok in lessons but I'm worried about play time and lunch time. Her wrist is still very weak and I'm insisting she werars her brace when she's out of the classroom. I can't keep her off school any longer as she's going to comp in September an d even though she's super intelligent I don't want her to be at a disadvantage.

    Hope you manage to get an appointment at the hairdressers and that a bit of pampering makes you feel better. We have a beautician at our hairdressers and I always have my eyebrows waxed and my eyelashes tinted whilst I'm there. A bit of pampering never does anyone any harm.
