  • Sarah i do think thats the cause of my headache. There hasnt been a day in the last three weeks where i havent drank lucozade/cans to keep me awake. Friday was my first 'clean' day. I think i am coming off them. Yesterday i managed 1.5 litres and today i have had 1 litres. Adults are 'suposed' to drink 2 litres per day so thats my aim. Yep good news about the paper. Some of it i wont be able to use but i am keeping it just incase :rotfl:

    Trouble is with drinking two litres a day is that u spend half the day on the loo! Then when u try to cut ur water intake, or just don't do it for a couple of days, u get headaches because ur dehydrated! Can't win!:rotfl:

    Well this is it but i have dont the 2l before so i know i can do it and keep it in :rotfl:I know this is mental but i have just transferred £40.00 into my locked savings. This means i need to pay back £62 before i can close my overdraft. I know it sounds mad but hey :rotfl:

    I also had a chat with mum while i was cleaning in work. I told her I am not buying a car because i cant really afford to keep one and save. She agreed and i pointed out i dont want my wages swallowed by car costs... so she looked up and said well i best get you put on my insurance then :j:j:j This will cost me approx £60 per month now i know thats about what i would have been spending on insurance on my own car but i wont have the up keep and will only have to pay £10 petrol a month. Still umming and ahhing though but i think that may be what i will do.

    I think its a good idea.....at least it'll 'keep ur hand in' or whatever the saying is! Did u get a chance to look at ur Mums insurance to see if u could get it cheaper?

    Right feeling a bit down on my webby. Its been running for 3 months now and apart from the sales through here i ahve had no sales. Not one! I am a bit disheartened to be honest. I am making more and putting more and more on my site yet no one seems to be buying them? :confused: How can i get more sales?

    to be honest i think its because my card arnt very good? Out of these two which would you buy?
