How I did it
It made me
Fulfilled 
How I did it: I raised the subject with my boss and asked him exactly what I needed to do in order to get a payrise. We had argeed that I'd be getting one after a certain length of employment, but it hadn't yet come. I decided to be blunt and simply asked him what was going on. Read how I did it…
It made me
Gadgety
How I did it: Got it on O2... but in a couple of months Orange and Vodaphone are getting them too. I used Carphone Warehouse, they have good deals and were very helpful. Read how I did it…
It made me
Chilled
How I did it: My boyfriend got booked to DJ out there so I went with him. It was my birthday! Flights with Northwestern were reasonable (you're looking usually around the 400 GBP mark from the UK). Stayed in The Hilton Financial Quarter, was nice. Loads of good stuff to do, loved Haight Ashbury! Can't wait to go back. Read how I did it…

we split up

I couldnt do it, the sensible option seemed to be to break up. I’ve been single for six months and still love it. Yay for me! And yay for him, he doesn’t have to hear me screeching any more.
Three weeks so far...

I haven’t had a cigarette for three weeks tomorrow. Before that I hadn’t had one for two weeks. I feel pretty strong but we’ll see what happens. I’m not ticking off this goal until I haven’t smoked for 4 months, that’s my milestone.
