Hey Brightspark,


I am so sorry to hear of your family friend, that is so sad to feel he needed to do that. I hope he is at peace now.


And your car! And the scam! Well you've had your 3 bits of bad luck, lets hope that you have some good news on the way very soon xx

Hi guys

So thanks to lucky I am going to be far more positive!

Firstly, my lovely dad has given me some money towards the bloody car repairs. Such a sweetie. Its booked in for next thursday and will cost c£220. Taking a half day holiday to sort but thankful I had the time to be able to do this and that it can be fitted in before Christmas.

Its nearly Christmas! Step sister is newly engaged and coming over from the states, also her bday on 24th bro's all there... will be epic.

I have basically sorted all my Christmas presents and looking forward to seeing everyone who I give them to enjoying them. I actually made money on a few as I had discount codes etc and bought between the 4 of us means I was up once it was divided up (based on what it would have cost) my brothers gave me 1/4 and I was up! they said since I pay for my student discount etc I keep the change as it were. Very chuffed.

Hope everyone else is good?x

Sorry to hear about the car . Glad the funeral went as well as these things can. As LondonGirl said, I hope he is at peace now.

Look at you with all your positives! Brilliant present buying - I'm well impressed! Xx

Hello all

Had a very lovely time at the gym this lunch - did my high calorie burn in 20 minutes on the cross trainer! Use my watch as its more accurate and did nearly 300, plus then 10 minutes of weights. Made me feel good!

This weekend DH has to work Saturday and Sunday so I am going in on Sunday for a bit pick up a couple of last minute bits and bobs.

After the monthly payments to CC's I will have £663 left on 0% and in total including loan of £2,099. I have nearly beaten this debt!! Looking now at trying to pay off my loan early even though it wont save £££ means that I can finally, FINALLY get to the point that I am offically DEBT FREE wooooo

Hope everyone else is good? xxx

Hi all

Soooooo at the weekend I was just getting ready to pop to the gym when I got a call from DH. He had just gone over a pot hole and his tyre blew out. He couldnt get the wheel off and so I went to help. 2 hours later the breakdown company turned up and luckily changed the tyre. £50 later he got a new one and heading back to work. Another £50 on top of the £200 we weren't expecting to pay this month! After spending over £500 earlier this month on that car already! frustrating... never mind hows everyone else? xx

Bless you Sparky, hope your luck changes soon Xx

Hi all.

had a bit of a moment last night. I had a dress I bought on ebay ages ago and thought it would fit. It didn't. Then ripped when I tried to take it off. It was a size bigger than I normally take too! so thats £10 down the drain. Frustrating. Never mind.

Positively, I have had some lovely christmas cards from clients - makes me so happy! I know people need to save money etc - but getting a card makes me very happy and some of my older clients love it too.

Hope everyone else is good?x

The guy who was meant to be fixing my car didn't show up and then I got a text from him this morning. So, I asked if he could do between Christmas and New Year and got no response. Booked it into the local bodyshop now. Bit more expensive but sure they will do a fantastic job as they deal with all types of cars. Plus my Dad did help me out.

Positively, I have made up a few extra hours in work so that means I have a couple of hours to play with at some time! yay! always a good thing.

Christmas party this weekend, lots of it is paid for already yay! But I am having my hair done before hand, but its well needed. x
