    Hiya Deliciosa, I'm still reading - just not had chance to post anything for the last couple of days due to baby stresses! Been in hospital most of today but thankfully everything's okay and they've discharged me.

    Just going back to the donation thing - £50 is loads, you are obviously very kind hearted and think of others before yourself, but please remember to put yourself first sometimes too. You can always donate more when you are debt free and more financially stable don't forget.

    Do keep posting, I really enjoy reading your news and progress.

    Hi sf

    I kind of lost the will to update because noone reads it (only you but I can update you on msn too :)))) and a few others. I guess I need to be more interesting. Watch out for me on the 9th! :)

    Well. That's payday sorted but I am a bit dissappointed about my spending.

    Actually I should not be since I bought two plane tickets and still within my budget (but another 16 days to go) but still..

    Anyhow, my soa at this point is as follows:

    Amex: £300 outstanding - this needs not to exceeed £600 by the 26th f May but that includes one treatment (£85), Mums travelcard (£30) and mum going out day £52. This is not good…. But we will see what I can do. I might just really stop eating and stay inside always… uhhh…

    HSBC Credit card: £280 outstanding.

    M&S credit card £1375 outstanding

    Total debt: £1950. This will increase as I will spend on amex in order to live in the nxt month plus treatments etc…

    So that's it. Can't say I'm entirely satisifed. Oh well. We will see what happens later.


    I have decided that I will not go anywhere near starbucks again until the 1st of July. I want to lose weight and I want a healthy skina nd it will help my financial state, too. I am soendign a fortune at that bloody company. I am addicted.

    And thanks for the happy bday messages :) I got books, candles, jewellery, a big yummy cake, etc :) it was fun. :)))

    The haircut is lovely, not dramatic at all, just makes me look soo much nicer and posher :)

    hey, great news about the debt. You know what I think about the not eating thing, so I'm not going to talk about it. I know what you mean about being addicted to coffee - i go quite a lot as well but have resorted to just making plain standard coffee at home, its much cheaper :)

    Hey deliciosa, have you got a little flask to take coffee out and about with you? I bought a cheapo one but it actually looks quite classy and it has helped me break my habit of buying coffees.
