Buffy's 18 week credit card free challenge

So I sat and I thought a while.
He has been in my life for about 8 years. I haven't really given myself time to "get over"him and I think that is why right now I feel so bad, house to myself for once and I waste it feeling sad. Except I haven't wasted it really, I know it sounds lame but I don't have much time to myself in private and I am glad I let myself feel sad today. I do love him and this is not easy.
Any how I am not organised for work but I have to go to tutoring and then come back and finish off my work tonight. Not what I wanted at all but there you go. it won't take long to finish the rpeorts - copy and pasting most of it.
I checked my cashback sites and should have about 50 quid to pay out at the end of the month. Was pleased about that - all for the CC!
I will come out of this fug. I just don't know when

Buffy, have a huge hug (((((!))))) Give yourself all the time you need to get over the boyfriend, your time isn't wasted. You will learn things about yourself that will help you some other time in your life. It will help you understand and help other people too.
I hope this doesn't come across pretentious and up myself. I just want you to know you're not alone.

evening
and thank you xxxx
I am feeling better now. Not much better diet wise but head wise doing ok. I have decided (probably not going to be popular) that at the end of my challenge, if successful (ie cc free and 2 stone lighter) I shall go and see the ex. I know. I know.
This way I figure i have an answer to the when will I see him again (all together now) and an added incentive to complete the challenge( he doesn't know about the debt but psycologically I will feel stronger). I know from my point of view we won't get together but I really miss his friendship and maybe by then enough time will have passed for us to be friends. I just hate things feeling so unfinshed.
meanwhile I am going to out as much as possible and make an effort with my appearance etc.
I finished my work which is cool and there are only 3 days left till the week end! yea!!!

Right not much going on on the debt paying front. For some reason A and L couldn't send my payment to my CC so its only gone down by 150 which is annoying.
still if I am careful I might be able to pay off more- I think I have a quidco payment................
Work was crap but I got lift home with a mate so brought back my marking for the weekend. All my reports are done
things to look forward to - 1. cinema and dinner with best mate friday, 2. going to spend some money on my fish tanks!! which makes me happy!!
and now I am going to tidy and organise my planning two of my favourite things
see you later

Not a great weekend, started a migraine thursday night, got through school friday but was sick.
was meant to go out but didn't obviously, went to bed and slept woke up at 4 in the morning. had some food and slept again, woke up ate slept again.
head still hurts but not nearly as bad.
paid my sister finally, did some clicks, checked my cashback should have 50 quid ish coming in March which is cool.
I made
17.50
10.00
90.00
= 117.50
+ roughly 50 quid from tutoring in Jan so made my £5 a day.
I am doing five pounds a day in Feb and completely forgot my 1000 in 100 challenge. Must up my game a bit me thinks.
In other news after 2 years of doing Avon I have my first customer who isn't my mum/sis/bestmate who feels sorry for me!
Tomorrow I must do lots of marking.
it will be ok I guess. I did want to go to the aquarium shop tomorrow but I 'd best not. best work. maybe I could do both. hmm. I shall ponder this in bed.
see you all in the morning.

Morning Buffy xx
I am glad the headache is clearing and well done on the extra income:TBut these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.0 -
Buffy I used to suffer badly with migranes and visited the chiropractor after seeing an advert. I had got to the stage I was sat sobbing in a car park as I couldn't go on any longer despite being dosed up on codine and ibuprofen. It has changed my life. Not very money saving I know but has made such a difference. I have lost 3 stone in weight as I'm not constantly mumching which I found I did to try and keep my energy levels up. As I'm not so tired, as migranes are so draining I am exercising which has helped my mood and given me the determination to tackle my debts. I also came off the pill as the hormone drop at for the pill week was causing a monthly migraine at that time. I have gone from having one 3/4 times a month lasting 3 days at a time to only getting one once in a while.
Its just some thoughts for you if you do suffer frequently, its made such a difference for me! Oh and I'm not a chiropractor so not touting for business!! ha ha ha0 -
Wow waterwatcher, I was wondering about that, cos I get an AWFUL lot of neck pain and back pain,
over the summer i had one that lasted a day (at a friends, hubby and wife had BIG row) but that was it.
when I am at work I frequently get a headache on a friday and think its cos I spend so much time scrunched up over books and a desk(myposture is terrible!)
I might look in to that, the Doctor has just been going down the pain route.
thank you! xxxxNevertheless she persisted.0
