    Plenty of stuff on Eb*y and 3 bags tagged for Oxf*m taking some things to work tomorrow. Got people collecting things I have fr**gled and some stuff in bin - large plastic bag full of............plastic bags:eek: I am turning into a hoarder - my excuse is round these parts plastic bags are paid for so I saved a load when they where free as I use them to line bins etc and then I changed size of kitchen bin ( only second kitchen bin I have had in 30 years ;)) I had forgotten about this stash in back of shed - in wheelie now. Even with all this gone still cant really see any 'space' appearing yet - I'll keep plodding:) About £200 in sales so far this month - all going to pay towards DD2 Big School Trip later this year

    Had couple of weeks not so great health wise so not really been paying attention to debt and I have missed making my usual PADs so the CC I have been targeting hasn't been quite so depleted this month. Ebay has been ticking over nicely and its a FLW again so no excuse to get some more stuff on there esp as postage goes up at end of month.

    Another weekend of clearing tidying and pondering I guess.........and I have a few things to ponder about at moment:( Sun is out and sky is blue. Its flippin freezing and we are just below the snow line but I am sure I can detect a bit of spring in my step so I am hoping for a productive day, around the taxi service I run for DD2;)

    Wow had a really busy day so far - getting to grips with the housework - almost feeling a little exhilarated - I know weird!!! Maybe getting my mo jo back a bit???

    Last 3 weeks I have been having headaches on and of most days - well if truth be know possibly for 3 years but have always seen them as a migraine attack.I have been monitoring and researching this for a while now - I do have migraines but analysing it all, these headaches are different to migraine attacks and respond differently to the migraine meds I take. I went to GP last week and asked to be referred to a specialist - had to stand my ground a little - but I think she could see I havent come to this without some thought. I agreed to take prophylactic meds for a week and go back - Ok so I havent had a head ache since then but I was coming to the end of an episode anyway ( which I explained) and I am going back next week when I will stand my ground even firmer and ask to bee seen by a specialist..............I dont want prophylactics I want to get to the bottom of it if poss and manage it.If that has to be with medication then so be it, but I want to hear that from an expert! I have annual MRI scan of my brain so I know its nothing sinister. I've come to accept its prob not my sinus now. My eyes are fine as are my teeth ( no wisdom teeth) and also spine/ neck etc. IMO I am having cluster headaches.........I would rather give birth to a 10 pounder. These headaches are far more painful than a migraine.

    Anyway on the money front I have £57 left until payday( Friday). Car has full tank all bills paid and we wont starve:D Eb*y keeping us afloat at mo

    Wow Ig, you've been doing loads. Getting housework done does add a feel good factor too.

    I feel for you with the headaches and getting to the bottom of them. Going through a similar time myself and they are flippin' painful - mine haven't been disappearing with painkillers either. I seem to be better with drinking alot more water though - apparently I'm becoming a dried up old prune in menopause and it could be the cause, we shall see. :D Sinus and neck/back probs could also be the cause with me - long history of issues with both.

    Health issues do drag us down and affect our ability to function well - I've just got my mojo back, so I'll back on the Zapper and car booting trail very soon too (I hope!).

    You're doing well. :)

    Plan to get all work stuff out of way by 9/9.30 but I ave come on here first for my daily fix:rotfl: Thanks Ali - in my extensive research about these headaches I came across lots of references to the need to be well hydrated etc and its one of my 2014 goals - I have increased the intake especially at work - as we rarely get a break at work I forget to drink - not good!! So I have made a concious effort recently to improve this:D

    So its get work stuff out of way then as all housework is done - well as much as I want to do - I will be tackling stuff for Eb*y and NCT sale next weekend. Couple of banking things I need to sort out too:)

    I drink lots of water in tea, which is unfortunately a great way to get even more dehydrated, so yes, it's a very conscious effort to drink just water - I was told to aim for 7 glasses a day which doesn't sound much, but it is when I keep forgetting :rotfl:

    I'm way behind here - you're very organised! Have a great day :beer:

    Taking a breather....................... dashing in in-between hail showers! Dragged loads of stuff out of one of the sheds - actually wasn't as much in there as I remembered - aim is to renovate this shed over summer and create a little sanctuary just for me in this sunny corner of garden. This was the plan when I inherited shed 12 years ago:eek: This year I want to be closer to that goal or even done - kinda goes with sorting out a few things in this neglected part of the garden/house exterior - OH finally seeing it makes sense to sort it out now - his excuse has been 'it will cost money' yes it always will and now even more as it has been left so long:mad: Live and learn..............

    Grinding to a halt now................ need to get done what I started really. OH just got n from bike ride and whilst he is making his umpteenth cup of tea of the day thought I would list a few things on Eb*y and have a mooch around here. Got rid of plenty of stuff via Fr**gle and have a good pile for selling next weekend and to photo for Eb*y later tonight. Got to hammer those debts somehow!Have also just remembered some stuff I have to do for work so have to fit that in somewhere tonight too:(

    Got a text from the not so new boss. Turning into a bit of a micro manager.......hmmmm

    Well for a Monday that wasn't to bad - limping along to Friday ( payday). Should be fine no bills to pay but will need to fill tank before end of week:(
    Do have lots to do this week in evenings - charity fundraiser at weekend that I'm involved in and I have become a little behind with my part of the organisation - kinda crept up on me!
