    I agree .This is where I have to change my mindset towards things.I push myself too hard then end up in a pickle.Slow and steady will win the race.I know that's the way to do it then I feel guilty and lazy when I'm not doing loads of stuff.
    Poor DH never moans about it and has told me to take it easyI just need to stop feeling guilty and be happy..seem to have lost that along the way.
    Afterall..looking back on the year..we have paid £29.5k off,got the tax money,holiday is paid for,spending money sat here,also had another holiday in may..had the whole house double glazed and had two new fires and fireplaces fitted..so think we have done well.
    I'm actually quite proud of myself now I've read that.

    And so you should:T :T :D:D :kisses3:

    Defo front page news..

    No Taxi, you have battled and worked long hours to be able to pay off debts and do work on the house.
    Be proud and say it loud.

    Sorry Bob you posted when I did.You're right it's probably the worry about the car crash,DS and DD all straight after one another.Think going away and not thinking about anything at all including moneysaving and completely switching off is what I need to do.
    Don't get me wrong I'm not blowing the budget when away but IF we want to do something we will without feeling guilty as we have plenty of spending money.Whatever is left will be paid off a bill when we get back.
    Been thinking about going for a massage at the gym but feel guilty about spending the money..lol

    Just a thought re massage, rather than paying the full price at the gym, have you got a college nearby that does health and beauty, our local college has a beauty salon run by the students, obviuosly with tutor support, but they do day and evening appointments, the prices are dead cheap, eg my mate she pays £45 for a facial, similar one done at the college £6.00........if you go down that road as well as haveing a treat, your money saving and helping a student......x
    xx rip dad... we had our ups and downs but we’re always be family xx
