OH borrowed a friend's nintendo wii today and loads of games - been leant it for a week - utterly fabulousWANT ONE!!! Of course, not going to happen, but perhaps something i can aim for and squirrel a little away for each month perhaps? The wii fit is just fabby! Love it.
Still feeling good about not drinking at the weekendWent to Wray Scarecrow festival yesterday witht eh kids and my mum - was really good and had a lovely time. Lots of photos of course, that now need scrapping - what a shame!!
Going to try a few affirmations about the debt too - perhaps about making wise choices, or having plenty to do what I want to at the moment - which is true, I just need to see it more! And of course, not waste on silly things. I'd much rather go out, drink soft drinks or even water and use that money for house things, or scrapping things or savings etc
off to find some suitable affirmationsWish me luck!

hi Sea, i'm a bit behind as i've been away for the weekend but you sound good and glad you had some good scrapbooking opportunities and lots of places to take pictures. I always find i don't end up taking the photo's as i forget or feel self conscious being behind the camera, it's so daft really.0

Hiya Sea, I desperately want a Wii and a Wii fit, loads of people at work have them and they say they are great! Thank goodness I have chopped all my cards up though, otherwise I would have one by now!
You should definately save for one, you deserve it, and the kids would love it too....
Stupid question now, whats the affirmation about?

well...we might be getting a Wii & Wii fit with a mobile contract - having to weigh up the pros and cons - it works out that I'll be paying £5 a month more for my contract (more mins and texts obv, and I do go over sometimes anyway) so the Wii and Wii fit game will 'cost' me £90- but I think this is worth it. Won't do anything yet - need to think about it first!!
An affirmation is just a statement you repeat to yourself either out loud or in your head at least 10 times, such as I am a strong and powerful woman, or I making a strong and healthy body. Feels a little silly, but does somehow work! look at https://www.susanjeffers.com for more info.
I'm a little confused at the mo- am so tired! It's really beginning to annoy me - it wasn't so bad when I saw the dr or I woul dhave mentioned it. Basically if I don't get like 11 hours (seriously!!) of sleep a night, I'm just exhausted by about 5. It's getting ridiculous! Feel like back when I was in the early days of pregnancy (and no NO chance of that). Don't know if it's a side effect of the anti-d's but I don't think so.
Hope all are well

I'm sure it'll arrive tomorrow morning
I've been off work sick today - felt sck and dizzy and also my back was really hurting. Hate taking time off work sick. Should be back tomorrow as have slept most the day.
Have realised that my house is so cluttered and I have neither the time or energy to ebay a lot of it so am just going to start clearing- charity shop and friends.
