    Hey

    Well i had to nip out to go to Morrisons to get lasagne sheets.... there was me thinking i had everything in i needed!

    Well i have done the following:

    1. Soup is boiling as i type
    2. 2 lasagne's are made and out the oven
    3. Washing is all done apart from the stuff for the bed. When i took the pillowcases off the pillows are covered in mould marks from damp so i have taken them to be washed and hope that they will be salvagable!

    So thats as much as i have done im not feeling that great about anything i feel like i've wasted most of the day again.... i still have so much stuff to do so i need to get on with it.

    Having a cup of coffee just now and i have another 50 mins before my boyfriend comes home and he's going to see the house in the same mess as when he left it! Will need to make a start on dinner in about 15 mins .... how come there are never enough hours in the day :confused:

    Hi Buddiebabe - hope things have improved today. Don't be so hard on yourself, you have done lots of things.

    If you have a lot of tidying up to do would it help just to concentrate on one room at a time? Does your boyfriend help you out? I always get DH and DS to help and say if we all do 30 mins of cleaning its not long and we get a good result.

    Hey

    Not much time to update. Am working in my 2nd job this week from 6 - 10pm and still at work full time during the day. I will try and get a proper update tonight when i get home but am not promising anything.... will depend on how tired i am.

    I have made a payment of £5.43 today to MBNA (the payment a day thread is to thank for this)

    I have also made a payment of £199.81 to Tesco today to bring my balance down to £1300.00 on this account.... only the rest to go.

    Better get changed now and get a move on i start in 9 mins and am stressing already!!!

    Hey

    well thats me home from work and im shattered. Im so tired, stressed, have a headache and am totally fed up. I've been in tears since i got home tonight im just so tired and hungry.

    I've been doing really well with my points. Im only doing it monday to friday but have been really sticking to it. I was absolutely gutted when i didn't loose anything last week.

    I have stuck to my points tonight but as i have had two big bowls of homemade soup which is practically no points i've really undereaten my points i had some low fat dinners in the freezer but when i tried to make one before work it didnt cook properly so thats the reason i had the soup. Anyway my boyfriend is now away to the take away shop to get some garlic bread and cheese and chips cause im so hungry. It's not going to be good for the diet but im totally passed caring. The way im feeling tonight i could just eat everything in the house and more and i could just go to sleep and not get up again :o

    I hope 2moro will be a better day

    Hi Buddiebabe - hope you are feeling a bit better today. I have decided to put my diet "on hold" for a while. It was just another thing to stress about and feel guilty about. I know it sounds silly but I feel a weight has been lifted off my shoulders.
    Take care.

    Hey

    Well last night after i'd had my garlic bread n cheese i felt so much better. I had a good sleep and felt a bit better when i got up this morning. Im just home from one job and need to get ready for the other now. Im supposed to be working 6 - 10 again but i think it will be a 9pm finish which would be good.

    I went to my keepfit class in my lunch hour today and i do feel a bit better for doing it but my stomach is starting to really ache now!!!

    I've made a payment of £10.00 to my MBNA card today

    Hey Mrs P im getting there.... i have a horrible cold that just wont go away... which is why i've not been on here much lately. I have just been trying to keep on top of my emails and facebook but am ususally too tired when i get in at night to give anything my full attention.

    Im feeling a bit better today but i think its cause im not starting work till 12 instead of 8 so its not too bad.

    I've brought all my stuff through to the bedroom and am sitting in bed at the moment trying to go through bills, receipts and bank accounts to see what i've got left and to figure out who is going to get paid this week :o

    I don't think things are too bad money wise. I received the final cheque through from that gambling website yesterday so it is in the bank .... just need to add up everything else to see if i can pay it all back to my Tesco card there may be other bills that need paying first.

    I sold some gold i had in the house. A bracelet, locket and a few earrings through hatton garden metals and i got £68 for it :j one of my local jewellers offered me £35 for it :eek: so even after paying out for the special delivery im still so much better off!!!

    The money was in my bank the day after i sent the items!

    Anyway better get back to sorting everything out before i start work as im working all weekend so wont get another chance for a while
