Buddiebabe's new beginnings....

MrsPorridge

Hi Buddiebabe - hope you are feeling better now. I've had the lurgy too mine started last Sunday and to be honest today, Monday, is the first time I feel human again! Still not 100% but definitely getting there. I managed to get away with one day off work but could probably have done with 2 or 3.

Well done on all your listings. I need to get my act together and list stuff on Ebay - I was doing really well and making around £150 extra per month but I've just lost heart and can't be bothered. I have a couple of items which would probably sell. I will try and think about listing them this week.

take care.

Hi MrsPorridge when i phoned work this morning i felt so much better and ok when i asked for an emergency holiday. I went back to bed and now im not feeling that great the second time i got up today. Maybe i've just has a bit too much sleep and i've not really eaten that much in the last few days so am still feeling a bit weak.

I was doing the same with ebay making about £100 - £150 a month too but in the last few months i've really not bothered with ebay but i have no option anymore i have a house full of stuff i wont fling out cause i know it can be sold either on ebay or at a car boot sale. The added bonus now is that ebay have got rid of the fees for listing anything under 99p and my house will empty of all the clutter.... well thats the idea anyway! The other thing is i really need the money

Will need to venture out to the shops at some point today as there is nothing in the fridge or freezer apart from some butter and some chips but the way im feeling chips just dont appeal to me at all!!!

Hi Buddiebabe. Hope you feel better later today. I know what you mean about too much sleep - sometimes its better to just get up and keep on going!

Not had such a great afternoon we desperately needed some food so we went to Morrisons and ended up spending £36 then another £7 in farmfoods :mad: It was so much more than i intended to spend and we never really got much for it. There will be enough for dinners and lunches for the rest of the week but not much to show for the money spent. I know i shouldn't have went shopping when i wasn't feeling well but there wasn't anything in for eating.

My boyfriend is due to go out soon and im looking forward to having the house to myself to try and get some cleaning and tidying done.... i must be feeling better!!!! Its just the house is a tip cause i've not done anything for the last few days as i've been feeling bad.

Will try and update once i get some stuff done

Tonight i managed to clean the bathroom, do the hoovering, sort out some washing, tidy the livingroom (well at least i've got a seat to sit on!!) It makes such a difference being able to see the carpet again

My throat is really sore again and im starting to feel ill again but i know i need to go back to work 2moro i really dont want to phone in sick and i dont want to use any more of my holidays i want to keep them to have some time to relax.

Im going to go get some sleep now and hope i'll feel better in the morning

Hope you're feeling OK buddiebabe. I had a nasty bug in mid-Feb and it was two weeks before I felt completely OK again. Well done on all the housework.

buddiebabe

Thanks. Im still not feeling great but i can't afford to waste my holidays so i went back to work today. It wasn't too bad and i am feeling a bit better am just getting ready to go into my 2nd job now. Im having real problems getting my new wireless router to work on my pc so have resorted to unplugging the pc and using my boyfriends laptop which i am quite enjoying only thing is i cant get the wireless connection up and running due to my pc so am sitting on the couch with all the wires at my feet... its making the place look even more untidy!!!

Im going to drop the computer off at the local computer shop to see if they can fix it just hope its not going to cost me too much. I've still got some money left over from xmas but would rather spend it on something i would like rather than need.... all because i changed my contract with AOL :mad: I would love to just send the router back but am outwith my cooling off period for it so am now tied to a 12 month contract for something that wont work with my pc :mad: :mad: :mad: The other thing is that my boyfriends not been able to use his laptop to go online since it was replaced last year so he was really looking forward to being able to go online without sitting at the pc!

Anyway enough about that i better get a move on or this shop will be shut. Will try and update again later depending on how im feeling

Hey

Work was ok tonight i managed to get through it so it wasn't too bad. I've managed to get the laptop connected using the wireless router :j it did take me over 2 hours to find the switch on the front of the laptop that i had to move so i could connect

Never mind its done now and im lying in bed using the laptop... but wont be for much longer as the battery is going to run out in approx 21 mins!!!!

My boyfriends gran died a few months ago and his dad has given him some money to spend on whatever he wants. £1500. He's going to put £500 in hs current account to use when he sees something he wants to buy, put £500 into his ISA and he wants to use the other £500 for us to go away for a holiday. I've not been on a proper holiday since 2002 and would love to go away but our ideas of holidays are so different! I want to go away for a week just to get a complete break but he's thinking about a few nights at an expensive hotel. I feel like im being ungrateful saying why dont we try for a week away somewhere cheap and cheerful... its not my money so i know i cant really say too much. If im honest im scared of big expensive hotels cause i'd need some new clothes and i cant really afford that.

We are going to spend some time looking for something over the weekend and see what we can come up with. I would love to go to Scarborough as it holds lots of happy memories of when i was young and so would he but its about a 7 hour drive and i would need to do it and i really dont fancy trying to drive that road it always used to scare me as a child so i think it will be somewhere that is easy enough to get to in a few hours.

Im going to try and get some sleep now as my throat seems to be getting worse and i feel rubbish again!

Hello Buddiebabe - glad you managed to get through your work day.

A holiday will be lovely, but I see what you mean about different tastes. I agree with you to go away for as long as you could would be better than just a few days. Hopefully when you are both looking at the weekend you will come up with a compromise. Whatever happens though, it will be something good to look forward to. What about travelling somewhere by train or coach to save driving?
Have a good day.
