Problem is our work is full of people aged from 20-30 and its a gossip hot bed.

Well, I bet it's preferable to being 25 and being surrounded by people aged 50-70 like me

*Edit: I meant I'm surrounded by people three times my age - confusing sentence!

I hate gossips as they feed on other peoples misery. Dramatic but true. Anyway hopefully only a few saw the message and they won't spread it too far.

If anyone asks at work I shall tell them exactly what I think lol.

Housework done, even the ironing :eek: so all ready for a chilled night but think it needs to have an MSE twist to it.

Hi dooyoo, i mean Doodledoo - sorry had to do that!!!

Well done you getting all the housework done, especially the dreaded ironing, i do the ironing when my OH or I need something to wear lol.

Have a lovely chilled evening, do you watch the X Factor?

Yeah should be watching X Factor as long as little one goes to bed nicely which she normally does.

I am craving pizza, I am trying my hardest not to go round to the local shop as 1) i have food in and 2) it will cost about 3 times the price of Mr T's.

Completely agree - gossips are the worst - I tend to cut them out ... I have very few what I would call 'true' friends now. The ones i tell stuff to!!

Don't blame ya! I would tell them too... eejits!

X-Factor for me too!!! Hope you managed to avoid pizza cravings!!;)

Hi Doodledo,

Just popping by to say hi, I've just read your diary. I've seen you on BenBenandme's diary, she's a great motivator! Really organised and is currently making huge dents in her mortgage.

I'm a single mum to a 3yr old girl too, her Dad and I are together but we're not living together yet, long story there! Think Ross & Rachel from Friends and you're kind of there!!

I hope you clear your debt and all lovely things happen to you xx

Thanks for the post Tigzem.

It's good to hear from other people in similar circumstances so hope you stick around

tigzem

I need to stick around as I have way too much debt and not doing enough to clear it

We've woken up to a lovely frosty day out there, DD thinks it's snow..aww x

Hello Doodledo,
Thought I'd drop in a say hi too...I read all your thread the other day and been catching up on updates since then. Single mum here too, my girls are a bit older though, 11 and 9. I separated from my ex-h 20m ago now and I still remember how awful it was at the time, as it was his decision not mine in the end.
But, I'm doing fine now, him and I get on fine (even if he is useless and can't give me hardly any money!) Girls and I live in a nicer house (sold the old one now renting).
I don't have huge, huge debt, around £5k, but I was heading for problems if I didn't curb the spending and get organised. I now think about what I spend, I know what's in the bank and what's coming out (never used to have a clue about either!!)
Anyway, I'll keep reading....you're doing brilliantly:p

Millyscarlet - Thanks for posting on my thread, it's a really nice feeling when you know people have been reading.

Sorry to hear about your split but sounds like you are through the other side now. I hope to be right there with you in a few months. Glad you and your OH get on ok as I think that makes life so much easier when you have kids.

Ex is contributing quite a bit compared to others so I know I am lucky but he wants our little girl to stay in her home so thats the price he has to pay for that to happen.

Quite a busy day planned today. I am off to see my Nan (in law) bless she is 82 and slightly mad but my little girl adores her. I then need to come back here, do some housework, then I have a mystery shop to do, then need to come back here collect the pup and go round to my parents for tea.
