BOB'S Cunning Plan

boredofbeingathome

Cheers taxi.
I have just been in pondering mode, like you do, and was reading ehallets thread, just googled self sabotaging behaviours and came up with this.

Hmm now it is definately food for thought and maybe i have been exhibiting quite a few of these as well if i am honest..so will have to incorporate a lot more positive thinking in my everyday life.

Going to start by printing this out and bunging it on the fridge..must motivate Mr.B as well.


I have quite a few motivational books as well, so will have to guard against negative thinking..and require copius boots up backside if you hear/ read it.All part of new Cunning plan..BOB'S Boot army.

Just added this as well, it is part of my course, so you think i would be tuned into it by now..Doh!

They certainly make me think Ellidee, i know i have a bad habit of focussing on other stuff when something is going wrong, then i self justify..not all right i know but certainly something to watch out for.

Nice bit of naval contemplating..oh if no-one has anything to do and wants to improve skills for free..well this is a nice frustrating little site for you.

Not read those yet but will look later as it won't do me any harm to read them..lol...as I'm forever avoiding things...lol

boredofbeingathome

I am avoiding things today as well Taxi, i think i will adopt your name as it has been my job today, to ferry/ run around after family..

I am not feeling 100% myself today, just naffed off with stuff i think it is qype withdrawel symptoms:D :rotfl:

Also got a letter from my 0% card today, saying they had charged me £12 for late payment..i thought what on earth were they on about as there were two payments on the account for last month ( i overpay) and they were at least five days before due date..any how woman was very nice, and it turns out that
1. the 0 % had ended:eek: why didn't i check (asda card)
2.that she had undercharged me by 3p because she had looked at the wrong screenshot..
3.charges were all given back :T but now i will have to pay off quicker as 0% had ended:o I thought this was the same as my other card(both got at the same time) but was for 6 months:doh:
4. i need new glasses to look at paperwork properly..it is only a small balance, but i will not be paying interest if i can help it..

I feel such an idiot:mad:

SO no debt busting today and my MSing was supposed to be paid on the 15th and when i logged on they are paying at the end of the month now..so they can naff off as well..:mad:

So calm breaths and less procrastination going on:D If i smile enough i might just believe it.:rotfl:

edit to say i am a futher idiot as have looked at T&C'S and it was only ltd time for spending which was 0% and forgot i had spent on it during hols..thought i had paid that off, but it went off 0% balance..still i got my charges back..dumb bob....

Hi Bob...sounds like you've had a rough old daylike me.
Don't knock anything as it's hard sometimes to keep track of when these 0% cards run out.Have you applied for another one to replace it with?
If you've had a crappy day tomorrow can only get better or at least that's what I'm telling myself...lol

wont it be fab the day we dont have to juggle....bound to drop one of the balls occasionaly so dont be too hard on yourself...have just applied to a capital one long life of balance but they are pondering whether to give me a card!! Hope today is better for you - did sign up for qtype but not done any yet and suspect I may be too late now?

Totally agree - I've lost count of the things I've done that have made me less profit than they should because I didn't write something down in my diary to be checked or cancelled or something. We can't do it all, even if we try, but we can do *such* a lot!

Bob, I just clicked on the self sabotage link you put up - *very* interesting, and quite valuable too, because it gives you the opposite, the work to do, which can lead to all sorts of things. Thanks! :T

That's a great analogy ISOM...

Hi bob,

Not been around much recently due to work, 15 hours again today.
Most threads can just be picked up on....yours! Its a different language:think:
Anyhoo, hope you are ok.
Been having a successful week against 'authority'. Got DD out of her mouldy rented house a month early...threatened to get Housing Officer involved. Got charges refunded on DSs first ever Finance agreement, they mucked up DD payment.....wrote to MD of Co, and finally beat 1st Credit , they now have agreed to my CCCS payment....took 4 months, now will try to get it written off. Oh, and Barclaycard in dispute so they can stick their interest too......on a roll now, anyone you want sorted out/thumped:D
