painted_lady

Thanks everyone for been concerned about me. I am still depressed (I had depression a few years ago & a lot of counselling, last year I nealry split up with my partner and we decided to work through it, even though it would be difficult, things are mostly good now, but when I get down I cant help it all flooding back).
On the DFW front,
- still in pyjamas and not done anything so saved money
- got MIL coming tonight, she lives 6 hours away so dont see her often (just to add to the depression)
- I will use the food I have in as I have no intention of going out
- got £20 credit with a catalogue, buy DS some new clothes I think

Andan, just seen you passed. Passing my test meant so much to me too, has changed my life much more than my degree or anything else I have done. I too learnt on and off. Safe driving!
Thanks for well wishes, I am a bit better than last night. I have just made a £1100 overpayment to egg card after spotting loads of extra cash in account, dont know how it happened, but not complaining.

MIL offerred to pay for our garden doing (well, 50% of it, so personally saved me £250) might make an extra overpayment to egg. I know I should feel like i have won lottery, but so !!!!ing depressed I dont feel like that right now. I did manage to meet a friend tonight and have a couple of driks with her, she said she would come round tomorrow because she is concerned about me.
