    Still no payments for me :(

    Have put stuff on fleabay but only watchers on a few items, and one went back to 99p when I put it on for a fiver so thats a bit annoying - since someone is bidding on it and I didn't realise until they'd bid!

    Have seriously been considering getting up at the butt crack of dawn on Sunday to do a bootsale - its freaking freezing, and I need to have gone by 11.30am as I have plans but the last one I left at 10.45am, £120 up so it might be worth it.

    I have turned into a green eyed monster over all you guys making payments and I have sooooo much to catch up with. Since when was I jealous about paying debts off :rotfl:

    :heart2:

    My new total is £963.24/£7873.87 for #130 - nearly through the £1k barrier :j

    Sooooo close hun!!! Any more payments today? xxx
    Kerri did you 'exaggerate' any of your outgoings? I'm tempted to call them now! I reckon if I get 6 months interest free, I could get a chunk paid off :) Fab news on your DFD!

    I've been laid up most of the day with either a migraine or a severe headache :( MrS was woken up by me rooting for painkillers at 6.45, I was crying with the pain... luckily it went away a bit but came back with a vegeance when I was driving over to his at 4.30, I just managed to get some migralieve from the supermarket without passing out or vomiting in their pharmacy. Have spent the rest of the evening in bed :( Just annoyed that I didn't get to the PO to post ebay items! Ah well, less money spent I guess! It's also rather annoying each day I've set aside to try and do uni work, I've been laid up!

    How's your migraine hun? I HATE them!!! Hope you feel better soon xxx

    I did it in 2hours 10mins last time but that was 2 years ago and I haven't done any training since, my friend made me sign up as its her goal to run a half marathon this year. we can definitely run together, what time you hoping for?

    That's a great time, I did it in 2hrs 33mins in 2007 but that was because I broke both my feet that summer and the cast only came off 8 weeks before the race so training was manic after learning to walk again! I was running for charity so there was no way I wasn't doing it. I can be quite stubborn when I want... :D

    Best of luck to you both, keep us up to date with your training and we'll all be watching you on the telly on the day xxx
