    I have worked out I need 360 lots of £50 and that will clear the debt, overdraft and a couple of outstanding bills...........was doing the colouring of squares 1% a time but got bored with that so now the challenge is to attack by throwing £50 lumps of cash at it - that will include anything I make through sales/surveys/etc , over payments which I make everyday and the regular payments which are all above the minimum. Just a silly challenge for myself to keep me interested/motivated;) Will back date to 1.10.16.........

    Y*ur S8y P*ys have paid out £20 - had a flurry of little surveys at the end which added up nicely:j Now working towards the next £20. Will do an add up soon to see how many £50 rocks I have collected so far this month. It will be towards end of weekend as between now and then I am busy busy busy...........

    OH going away today for month on yet another 'trip of a lifetime' Although this time DD1 is going with him. I think he believes he is a cat and has more than one lifetime:mad: I have a few things to get straight which will take some time ( not least the debt) but I am building up to one of my own I hope........or something:D:D His last trip was a new kitchen and this time its a solid wood floor in LR oh and some other house bits he doesnt know about yet;)

    Right busy few days starts now!

    Right 10 days off work.............no excuses. I am pretty much home alone :j and apart form a hair appt a doc appt and taking a friend, who is recovering from an accident, out to lunch I am free and feel the best I have been for a long time............diagnosed 2 years ago with an autoimmune disorder which kinda strips you of your focus and energy.............have taken the treatment of it into my own hands as frankly the NHS is useless on this one and I am beginning to reap the benefits......no crashes and a clear head :0 Long may it last :D

    So plans this week, without interruptions or feeling guilty I need to give something/someone my undivided attention are, a big house tidy up - let it slide these last 2 weeks as busy else where and life is just to short to fret about dust. Putting the garden to bed for the winter - greehouse still churning out tomatoes, aubergines,cucumbers and chillies but I think I will call time on them now. A good financial review - big spend coming up but its all saved for :) And the weather looks fab for the next few days :D

    Enjoy your time off work. Having had a brief discussion re certain condition before I think that we may be both following the same treatment:D I feel privileged that I am able to do so, many who would benefit do not have the confidence to or the funds to afford it.

    My thoughts exactly, does seem to have quite long use by dates, must check around on some of the threads elsewhere to see what dates people's latest deliveries are and try and keep a bit ahead of myself:D Wouldn't solve the problem, but might be useful if costs rise.

    Am intrigued re: self managing/NHS issues - does that mean complementary/herbal route? My last appointment left a bit to be desired...

    Uuurgh. RL getting in the way:o The Idiot in Charge is unfortunately experiencing some serious RL domestic issues of their own so I am having to step into the breach , alongside doing my own job and no equivalent remuneration :mad: Future is not looking good either at the moment - cuts cuts and more cuts:(

    Bore da Noa :)

    I spent a year researching my diagnosis - sounded something insignificant at the time but the more I read the more I realised just how misdiagnosed, poorly treated, misunderstood,serious and... err...life limiting this condition is. Also can be hereditary:eek: The 3 times a year treatment I was receiving was not going to cut it for me. I wanted my life back and it was slowly slipping away. It was not down to lifestyle,job,age but the NHS not treating as per their own guidelines:eek: So I persuaded my GP to up the treatment to 6 times a year and even that made little difference. I took a leap of faith and used the internet to get the info I needed. read lots of real life stories and started treating myself. I get what need The Big River here and abroad - the exact same stuff which I get from GP which costs the NHS about 69p per treatment........ so now I am in control and healing.........lots of people with this condition have damage beyond repair........I feel fortunate and can now see I am getting my life back. No complimentary/ herbal route just conventional treatment that if I lived in most other European countries I could buy like we buy paracetamol - which is a dangerous drug:eek::eek:


    Sorry used too many :eek::eek::eek: s But it just demonstrates how I felt when I was researching all this :p
