    Just going to copy and paste from my twitter just been to give blood at work (the van is here today)

    Worst donation yet, guy couldn't get needle in, horrendous pain. didn't manage to give enough and I'm going to have a giant bruise :'(
    I can't even say the pain is worth it as what I did give will be scrapped :'(

    Lovely nurse at work gave me an icepack, stopped the pain and will hopefully stop the bruise getting too bad :)

    I empathise - last time I went they said to be "the best thing you can do is find someone else who is rhesus negative and encourage them to donate". I really dont understand - the lady who did my pregnancy bloods with both children never struggled once, but then as soon as I go somewhere else, I am deemed to have difficult veins.

    At least you tried - good on you

    Right, I am declaring £5 off my total. I've shoved it into my L*ds account and I promise not to touch it. I NEED to start making a further dent in this debt, I feel a bit stuck otherwise! I might start doing the whole rounding down game as well then pay off when I get to £50 :)

    Thanks for that, kept me amused when I was awake in the middle of the night.

    Arms still a little sore but I think the ice pack I used helped massively. Work to do :)

    Well I am in aright grump today. Couldn't sleep, figures going round and round my head about how much needs saving a month for xyz. Never saved before so this is going to be weird, but in a good way :o.

    Another payment to the card today, taking the amount owed to £1300. Really pleased about that, can't believe it's nearly gone. But also realised I can't go on for much longer never doing anything,so won't be able to save as much as I've been repaying. Otherwise I will truly be the most boring person on the planet!:p

    So today it stands at #319 £4809.94/£6109.94

    Have a lovely Friday everyone. Think I will be having some chocolate!:D
