On a serious note (which is not like me!)
I learnt today that someone I knew very superficially (chatted to him on a dating site) died recently. He was 34, and had pancreatitis which killed him in three days.
It's made me think about what I want in many areas of my life and that I should actually go out and get things, rather than hang about and wait for things to happen.
I know this is normal after bad news, but this time I mean it.
When I come back from holiday, there will be a new me.0 -
i wouldn't want to die and think i wished i'd done... your right time for new me0

I overspend to compensate, which is how I got in this mess. I think, right, if I can't have the husband and the children I can have shoes and chocolate instead. Can't leave the house without coming back with some little treat. Plus it is obviously more expensive to live alone than in a couple, so am having to manage all bills by myself, and having so little spare money makes me panic, then I go and buy things to make me feel better.
I always have in the back of my mind that a nice man will come along and save me, and that I will spend less because I will be happier. It is so hard to stop behaving like this!
Sarah, that is exactly what I think. I have just come back from a few days away at a friend's it wasn't great and I really didn't get the break I wanted, so I came home tonight thinking "i deserve a treat, I am lonely I should get a reward etc" but I won't ever getout of debt if I keep thinking like that.
