    Evening all,

    PaintedLady - good to hear how you are getting on
    Andan - I lost all my stuff about 1 year ago, I got a new hard drive to back everything up but it's still in box :o
    Lily - glad it was nothing serious and your boyfriend was just boring

    My dfw things for today;
    • Carried on using another sachet of moisturiser
    • Got my mum to post 3 Ebay items sold
    • Clicked on the dispatched buttons on Ebay to let buyers know their goods have been dispatched
    • Used £1.50+ in coupons off shopping
    • Brought item for 40p (will Ebay later this month for £1.99)
    • Found 10p
    • River Island – got waistcoat - reduced of course (2nd reduced price) £10
    • Took 3 sachets of wipes from work home (cleaner leaves them daily for us to wipe our phones)
    • Left DH bus pass in case my mum/sister wanted to use it
    • Boots – spent £5.82 on 6 x Pantene hair masks and 1 No7 nail file set (used Boots £5 off No7 etc voucher) – got 600 points back and another Boots £5 off No7 etc voucher (in preparation for the sales should I see anything
    • Received another Ebay payment from buyer (for 2 items)
    • Charged phone at work
    That's all I can think of. Glad it's Friday. Off to Surrey on Monday for a few days for work but will log on if I have intenet access in the evening (as long as I don't have to pay for it that is). Will probably post over the weeken but just incase...

    Painted lady - glad things are looking more positive for you, take care and pop in now and again as we do wonder how you are going on out in the real world:wave: :wave: :wave:

    Thanks and thanks andan and everyone else. There is a real world out here!!!
    I am accepting I am on a low part of life and things will get better, but its going to take time. I just need my life to be simple right now so I can focus on what the main problem is (cant post about it, but do have support).

    Glad you have some support, much better than trying to deal with problems alone. Good luck with it all:heartpuls
