Woooooo for the weight loss, go BC I should have read this before eating two bits of toast with my bargain lurpak as I feel inspired lol. I have a suitcase of pre-baby clothes, all nice jeans etc that I still don't fit into 10 months later, I'm clearly missing the celeb gene to ping back into shape 30 minutes after giving birth (I bet they aren't eating buttery toast though HA!).
I'm back on the 24th September I think. I'm feeling very non MSE and want to have a splurge on pretty notebooks and pens that will make me work sooooo much better (in my head). I do have plans for a cute little lunch tin so I can take lunch with me to Uni instead of getting the munchies and having a student sized fry up in one of the tempting on site cafes! Maybe even a pretty flask to take my own coffee......someone slap me now!
Good luck with your meeting today and good luck with losing the extra lbs to get back into your gorgeous clothes
Not been updating my diary, naughty naughty crayon! After the positivity of last week I've been feeling pretty anxious and blergh, partly because I've crossed the line and am now on the slippery slope to 40! How the hell did that happen? To cap it off I've got teenage spots :mad:. I did get some nice presents though! I'm also stressing because I've been procrastinating and Bob and I ended up treating ourselves to a few bits such as a take away after a day out.
I think the spotty skin is stress related and I'm procrastinating because everything looks so overwhelming, it all adds to the stress and turns into a big ball of anxiety. So this morning I'm going to break everything down. I swiped a pile of small notebooks from Bob and I'm designating one per area, I'm going to break down what I have to do into small manageable tasks I can then get on with.
Another thing I'm going to do is stalk the house with boxes and cram as much car boot stuff as I can into them, they can then go into the newly organised understairs cupboard and the back hallway so they're out of the way. Hopefully with the house a bit clearer I'll be able to think straight and we'll look to do a boot sale the next time we have a dry Sunday.
On positive news my business is up and running and I have made 2 small sales! I need to focus on marketing and make sure that I come out highly in search listings so that is a task for this week. I decided to learn as I go along as having the shop running is motivation, waiting till everything is perfect is a sure fire guarantee that I'll never get it done.
Despite the overspend I've done my budget and aim to have £263.80 left at the end of the month. I'm waiting for ebay payments and also an amazon disbursement when these hit I'm going to throw straight at the debt. Going to do some more ebay listings whilst they are still free and also sort out some big ticket items for sale.
Sorry that was such a long and boring one, I'll be here more often so I don't need to dribble on so much next time.
Onwards and upwards!

Total Debt 21st October 2012: £11737.03, Total Paid: £0
Consists of real debt: £5737.03 and preventing future debt fund: £6000.
PFD is to let me have a shot at my dreams when I graduate without digging myself back into a money black hole.
My spots are super attractive! At least I don't have too many wrinkles, the combination of oily skin and keeping my lily white face away from sunlight means I don't look too bad. See I'm thinking positive!
Absolutely exhausted after a busy day today so this will be short. I must do a proper catch up of peoples diaries tomorrow as I've been slacking.
Going to take it fairly easy tomorrow as Thursday and Friday are going to be manic. Got to drop off a parcel in the morning and then go for an Advanced Driving refresher, my license is about to expire so we're going to reassess my skills to see if I need much work before retaking the test. The lessons are free though so I'm not bothered about that and having the extra license keeps my insurance down. Then I'm going to chill for the afternoon before doing some work on my business venture in the evening. Apart from petrol and parcels I'm planning a NSD.

Its been ages since I posted! I'm still here, work project has been hellish and we've run into major problems, I don't think it can work in its current form and with the equipment and computers we have, the PC's we've been provided just can't handle the software properly without crashing. We've pulled together and requested an emergency meeting with those in charge next week. I've spent all week staring at banks of computer screens till my eyes cross so have not been able to look at a computer screen of an evening. I've been so stressed about the whole thing and just want to sleep when I get home.
Also not been eating well, grabbing snacks, cokes and coffees when I get the chance. On a good note I haven't added to the debt!
I'm feeling better now as it is going to get sorted next week one way or the other, I'm not going to let us be brushed off again.
Also had a chat with Bob and we're not going to move out in October but stay a bit longer. It is not ideal as we both want to move on but at the same time we are both very stressed and have a lot to sort out with home, work and finances. We're going to review the matter on a month by month basis as we sort our shizz out but we will be on our seperate ways by the new year at the latest. I always said I wouldn't start looking for someone new till next year anyway so this suits me. Its reduced a big amount of stress and means I have plenty time to get my finances in order as well as everything else.
So lots to do but things looking a lot more bearable. I'm going to have a cup of tea whilst I catch up with diaries and then have a think of what I need to do to get myself in order this weekend!

Glad to see you back on here. You should stick to it posting. Everytime I feel like spending unnecessary money I log on for a bit and have a read through a few diarys and it makes me rethink and plod on with my debt clearing mission. Keep thinking about the light at the end of the tunnel.
