Hi everyone, there are a lot of us not well on here today, including myself (no voice and incredable sore throat accompanied by backache) Hope we all get better soon.
I will
- do laundry, mostly on quick 30 setting
- try not to put heating on until tonight
- sort out some more stuff for ebay
- try get rid of TV on freecycle, had one enquiry awaiting reply
- put some more stuff from fridge into freezer, after reading the OS board on here, never thought to freeze garlic cloves, they always end up going off before I have used them all.
- might continue to read OS threads while I am sat here in pain!
- need to iron (I HATE ironing but stuff is now beyond getting away with it)
- finish sorting out DS toys, some for charity and buy cheap batteries in town for one that needs replacing (did the others yesterday with AA bateries, but recharged some AAA and they dont work)
- post a cheque to pay store card in full (would have just paid minimum ocne upon a time)
might update later0 -

Crikey, you lot have been busy today. Only got up about an hour ago, exhausted after my four hour drive back home, got in at 2am, still so very tired.

Hi everyone.
Feeling all stressed today, meant to be at work but need to take one of closest friends to hospital. Work great about it but I have so much going on with family etc, I feel so drained. And worry what people at work might think. Trying not to take on too much of other people's problems as I don't want to make myself ill again but its so hard when people I care about are going through some rough times.
I have annual leave from Mon 17th for a week and Im desperate for it to come...just need a break!
Sorry guys, didn't mean to ramble on so much! Anyway, today I will/have:- Re-jig and re-organise work diary again
- Not had central heating on
- Updated spending diary
- Will use less petrol today than if at work
- OH bought a scratchcard yesterday (hardly ever does this) and won £20!:j
- Storecupboard tea
- Get work stuff ready and make packed lunch for tomorrow
- LSD - just need a few essentials from Tescos
- Really try and organise wedding files
- Checked online banking - have £50 left over as budgeted for everything else till payday onthe 19th - will use this towards c/c
- Try to keep sane and sparkly!
Joint debt with OH at LBM Sept 08 (excluding mortgage & student loan) - £34,069 :eek:
