Thanks Noodle! I'm really bad for being hard on myself and being quite pessimistic - It's because I know if I'm NOT hard on myself, Nobody else is and I'll just be really lazy and nothing will ever get done! When I go easy on myself, my life unravels before my eyes! :rotfl:
My mum has the e-cig - she uses it as well as smoking roll-ups AND cigarettes, I think she's in danger of a nicotine overdose :rotfl:
I did try the e-cig too but I found it made my throat itchy?
Now I'm addicted to the nicorette mints though! I constantly have one in my mouth but I find they make me very nauseous, light headed and have terrible heartburn
I just looked up Guardalavaca and it looks gorgeous! Beautiful sandy beaches - Just what the Dr ordered! ^_^ When did you get married over there? I haven't been on holiday for nearly 2 years now so I'm really just looking forward to getting out of England tbh!! :T
3 more days til payday!! :j
I don't think I'll be able to pay off as much as I was hoping too - I need to book a train ticket to my sisters for the 7th Feb, Plus it's her birthday so I'll need to get her a gift! My friend invited me down to her house next weekend and I really need to take my dog to the groomers!! His hair has gotten really long and it's starting to get a little bit matted. He has 2 clumps of hair - One under his chin and one on his chest that are starting to turn into dreadlocks or something and I'm scared to brush them out as I don't want to hurt him, Plus the hair around his face keeps getting into his eyes so we've been putting his hair into a ponytail - He looks sooo adorable with it like that, but keeps being mistaken for a girl! :rotfl:Saved so far - £28,890.97

Booked my train ticket to my sisters from the personal spends account as I still have £70 in there from this fortnight!! Ticket was £26 so I made a PAD of £4 to the cc just so I don't have an odd amount in there
Does anyone else get annoyed by odd pennies in their bank account?!
New total - £1894.91 left to go!!
Paid this month - £506.31
Appointment booked for my dog - 11am Saturday morning!
I could probably use that £40 to pay his hair cut as I have nothing else I need to buy this week apart from take a break on Thursday and I still have £5.05 in my purse but I want to start saving my personal spends for a digital camera - Mine broke in 2012 and all I've had since is my phone! I also want to buy a new PC some time next year as I've had my current one for about 7 years and I think it's in need of an update!!Saved so far - £28,890.97

Right now though, I'm really scared about this lump on my neck. It's been here since Sept (I have an appointment with the Dr for next Monday) When I swallow, I can feel something in my throat and the left side of my neck feels a little hard. It's not painful or anything but it does feel weird
So that's making me not want to really smoke, and if it IS something...well I have no-one to blame but myself!
Try not to be too scared about this, I know it's hard not to worry but my mum had something similar on the side of her neck about 6 months ago, a little hard lump. It turned out to be harmless (can't remember what it ended up being but they drained it and she hasn't had a problem since.) Do let us know how the appointment goes!0 -
Thanks Lina! Just cross posted from your diary xD
I will let you guys know how it goes - I *think* it's a goitre (been self diagnosing on google :eek: ) My mum had a cyst on her back a few months ago and had to have it cut out, now I'm just worried that I'll have to have it cut out and end up with a huge scar on my neck....could always pretend I got kissed by a vampire I guess :rotfl:Saved so far - £28,890.97

As far as Ian Somerhalder is concerned, I wouldn't mind if he was dressed in a pinny and brandishing a turkey baster at me :rotfl:0

Hey Domayne you'll love it wherever you go ! We got married two years ago over there. So relaxed and the people are just amazing.
You're making fantastic progress with your debts. Can't wait until I get paid next week to start adding more pennies to my debts too xxxSealed Pot Challenge No. 2860 -
Woo payday!! :j
Paid £453.53 off of the cc, New total is £1505.68 :T
Figured I would pay off as much as I could and pay for the pups grooming + sisters bday gift from my own personal spends
Total paid for Jan £959.84 :T
56 days til debt freedom...
This week has been really busy, stressful and tiring and it was such a struggle to drag myself out of bed this morning and it wasn't made much easier by pup bouncing on my head and scratching my lip, Now I have a pounding headache...someone pass the caffeine!
NSD's 14/20
Definitely not going to make the whole 20 this month but I'll make at least 17 I think which is pretty good for my first attemptSaved so far - £28,890.97

Morning Domayne *waves*
Wow that's a fantastic amount to be putting over to the credit cards! You go girl! You'll be debt free in no time at all and if you save at the same rate as paying down the debts you will have a substantial amount quickly build up! Fab job
I think 17/20 spend days is a great first attempt! I remember struggling to get 5 or 10 in my first few tries of doing that challengelol so well done you
