TEN months and counting...

skint_spice

Well, I've made a BIG decision - after much deliberation I've given myself an entertainment budget! I was trying to keep the spends down to a minimum but have decided I need to get a life!:o And in the long run it just means another month more to pay the debts off, not a long time really if it helps to maintain my sanity. A few things have happened of late that have made me take stock and decide I must live for now and stop putting things on hold until the debt's gone. It's not a dress rehersal after all...

skint~You are so rght i think.
As you say lifes not a dress rehersal.
(think Im getting rather too caught up on all the debt clearing!)
After all your siggy says you will be debt froo in a year~yah!

Thanks beanielou, how was your weekend in Stirling? Are you going to try to be more sociable too? It's not just nights out I miss just going places with DS without worrying about the cost would be good too. they grow up so fast and no doubt he'll be avoiding me like the plague soon!
It's also good practise for being DF - I would go into serious shock at all the spending money otherwise!
I'm not going to go mad...went out last night and spent nothing (driving) and going out again tonight which will be a tenner max.

P.S. Siggy is still right cos I'd nearly shaved another month off!

beanielou

Stirling was good~seems a long tme ago!!
Know what you mean about doing things with DS while he still wll~just go for it cause as you say he wont want to when hes a Kevin the teenager~will just want money, money, money!
Have a good weekend & enjoy tonight~ a tenner s great.

and totally unlike me too, I could usually sleep for scotland! mind is racing around although my body is shattered.
I just realised the kids have only been back at school a week - seems so much longer! don't know if it's lack of sleep that's causing my confusion...:o

Needless to say apart from going to the gym and out visiting I've done very little today.:o

Must set myself a mon - fri list although it'll have to be small!

beanielou

Think Ill give a list a miss!
Remember keep yours small!
Takes me all my time at the mo to just get through the day:eek:
Like you mind is racing & just going round in circles but Im just shattred.
Dont think weather helps either.
