    I've been very busy wracking up more credit card debt and generally behaving in an out of control manner...oh dear. I could definitely do with feeling more in control.

    Sheesh! Taken me nearly all morning to sort out some 0%CC deal shifts and some online banking glitches - been on phone a great deal so thank goodness for say no to 0800 etc website:)

    Unfortunately with one thing and another this month and last the debt has crept up and I am feeling like 1 step forward 2 back at moment and car needs service aaarrggh! But my pre MSE self would have stuck head firmly in sand but I still feel in control and Eb*y yielded a couple of sales this week.............. better than nothing.

    May go to beach for walk - head fuzzy and dont need a 4 day migraine:(

    Walk on beach with friend and her mad dog blew some cobwebs away! Another sale on Eb*y - feel I may have underestimated postage - Oh well. Cant access on line account I sweep all my Eb*y sales into so more phone calls tomorrow - not doing it tonight. Despite enjoyable walk still feeling post viral meh! Had so many plans for this week but already well behind.

    I am feeling smug though - January crisp free and if I get to Friday OK it will be February crisp and alcohol free:) March plan will to be crisp alcohol and chocolate free:eek: If I manage that then beyond 31st March I'm not sure what I will stop:)

    You're doing well with fleabay, Igamogam, I never really could get into that. Maybe I should try again. Well done you. :-)


    I had a giggle about you wondering what to give up next. I'm finally off the cigs and pondering giving up wine...but I fear life wouldn't be worth living. :-D

    Yay! I LOVE payday :)

    Lovely to see Spring flowers..we now have crocuses in the garden..makes me feel optimistic :)

    I have also had a few days not paying for commuting but on the downside we have had the heating on much more often during the day so not a complete gain

    Hope you feel Ok now Igamogam and are not missing the Olympics too much ;)

    Half term over and back to work tomorrow................:( Hasn't been the best of weeks one way and another cant say I have achieved as much as I wanted/hoped and for all sorts of reasons really.............motivation,realistic goals,miserable weather,intermittent working PC,tiredness,and some nagging physical pain!! Its all conspired to make me feel meh about everything!! Did get out to catch up with friends and have had a few sales on Eb*y but that is hardly earth shattering and not really moving things forward. On the money side I have paid the bills and done some CC shuffling and all CC bills have been 'overpaid' but I am kidding myself that the debt is reducing by any amount that would make me want to jump up and down with glee - the end of the tunnel looks as far away as ever........................:(

    Think I am just feeling a bit disappointed in myself really...I will snap out of it! Bit of sunshine.Bit of good fortune.A good nights sleep..thats all I am asking for:)

    Sounds like work colleagues not had a good time either so next week will be fun.We are all tired before we have started! And there are new frogs to deal with whose antics in their previous settings would make your hair stand on end - oh joy!!
