mumzy - hope you are ok.
If you have been bleeding for a long time, you could be low in iron, which in turn could be the cause of the dizzyness and feeling tired.
I would get some advice from your GP to test for anaemia."Stay Wonky":D

Hope you are ok mumzy.
Overspent by a whopping £48.05 the first 2 weeks but confident I can pull it back over the next 2 weeks, dread to think what it would have been if I hadnt been doing this challenge. I am surpossed to be making cottage pie for the kids tea but I cant draw myself away from here reading all these posts:T love the fitness regime coming up in February NYK. can't wait to feel my ribs again after all these years.
Catznine you have motivated me to clear my cupboards out but I doubt if I'll find as many useful things as you!
Mine you my mum gave me a bag of clothes yesterday and I had a great hoke in it, she told me to sell whatever I didnt want on Ebay. She also gave me her steamer that she doesnt use as I was looking for one, and a beautiful yankee candle as I love them so much and I didnt even get one for Christmas:jLive on a little over £4k challenge

As I am joining as of tomorrow, on pro rata my target is £3836.07. Please add me to the list.
Thanks for the inspiration!
I've added your details and challenger number (118) to post one. As a single person, your £4000 (or £3836.07) means that the excess can go straight to paying off any outstanding debts then into the savings pot for the little luxuries you'll begin to afford. Thanks for joining :TI reserve the right not to spend.
The less I spend, the more I can afford.
