Happytogetdebtfree

i dont know just feeling really fed up, i really wanted to start clearing some debt and then we could have enjoyed life sooner, its so depressing having the big happy day then boom back to reality of a mountain of debt we have 750 excess a month yet we are saving that for spend for australia, that could have been a credit card paid off or something else thats all i can think, i know aus will be great and that but 67k is a big sum to carry at times when i should be thinking of house deposits family planning etc etc i mean im 25 for goodness sake i feel like i could just scream

happytoget... you are young and just got married... have a little fun of course, but at the back of ur mind you know what you have to do... so there's no fun in having a good time as long as you arent completely off the rails.

this morning i woke up 2nd day in row with the old dread in tummy feeling. i had forgotton about everything on holiday and now i have crashed down to earth with a bang. the big 'D' is still there and although im dealing with it.. .its a long old haul ahead. i must get focused and try to bring some money in by myself.... hmmm

I know you are right but part of me thinks should i be getting rid of this debt asap trying to get through this rather than thinking big holidays etc etc i dont want to do overtime at work i tried asking my mum if i could iron for her !

mrscmr

you can iron for me!

Chin up MrsCmr!

I find the best way to get rid of that 'tummy dread' feeling is to get myself busy busy busy-which I am sure you've been doing! And to give myself a good talking to whilst I am at it-I guess its all about getting things in perspective as best you can. Whatever lies ahead-you WILL cope-you WILL get through-the world won't end.

Play time with the kids always works too don't you find?-gets you back in the important here and now and reminds you that all they really need is food, a roof and you!

What u been up to today? Sun is in and out in and out down here in the South-and a nice clothes-drying wind (shame I've only just managed to put the machine on-I will have missed it!!).

Better start thinking about what to feed them all now.Then a good dose of TV and possibly a glass of Pinot??xx

mrscmr

aiii dear what would you do mrs cmr hold off paying some of teh debt off and go to australia or cancel australia and get some debts cleared :S

mrscmr

oh yes... i remember i need to update my diary.

i am sorry to say that my dear laptop has departed to the good place that all laptops go... laptop heaven. its the graphic card but prob is i didnt back up soooo need to find how to get the data off as its very important... duh!

well been listing on ebay and have sold 7 items since last thurs all good!
did a big shop today and although bought sensibly i was amazed at how much it came to. i did buy school stuff in there as they were selling amazingly price stationery. im really needing to get back to my frugal living as i was before hols as the bank account seems to have a life of its own and is bleeding money left right and centre. must regain control - it must NOT control me!

how we all doing? dont u find this english 'summer' a pain in the bum? i am so cold that i have socks and the heating on.

have a good evening all xx
