Well done quite a bit of tidying and cleaning which is a good start for the decluttering to begin!!!
I did have a nap this afternoon and now taking a break to watch some TV.
However have put on Baby Beauty Queens and it is so awful...unbelievably horrible what some mother's will put their daughters through.
I really need to start with my ebaying. I'll have to work out my schedule this week and then get some sort of plan in place.
I'm pretty pleased with today though as things definitely look a lot better in my room.
Buffy - how did you get on???I've got my own flat :j:j
Now I have to pay the bills :eek:

Welllllll............................
it started badly cos I did n't wake up very early and everything was late this morning! Then I had to go out with Mum to visit my Nan's grave, it needed some serious tending and we got home about 3 ish, had a very late and long lunch finished about 4.30. then I have to be honest I did sit on my bed and watch Pirates of the Carribean. Then I got the hump with my self put on Linkin Park and moved all my furniture around. Pulled everything out from under my bed, went through my bags (found three to e bay) Hoovered like mad. like the new set up but it is going to take some sorting
I have stopped for house and I won't finish tonight but I intend to finish tomorrow!

Back from godson#2s, and I have to say he didn't look quite as scary as I had imagined; clearly A&E did a great job with the superglue, and he's rather nicely patched. He was certainly well enough to mount a rocket attack with Buzz Lightyear (why are these toys quite so painful??? although not as painful as lego under the feet...
).
Turbolister has had a minor tantrum, requiring reloading and a fair bit of stroking before even considering uploading some items to eBay. I have called it nice names, and it tells me it is now uploading item number four, which frankly I will believe when I see it.
Any form of decluttering/tidying etc is now postponed until tomorrow. :rolleyes:0 -
Hi!
Back from my weekend away, quite tired now. Tried to catch up on the posts. You guys have been busy! So you're all decluttering...I desperately need to do some of that. Too tired at the moment though.
Things aren't so good this evening. I've checked the bank account and as I've suspected, all my money is gone already. Really worried about that. I have no idea what to do. I can put stuff on the credit card again, but I'm trying to pay it off. Argggh!!! I'm dreading work tomorrow what with WT and my ex has sent a friend request on facebook - just what I need...more carp men in my life. I really have to sort this mess out. Everything, money, job, house, non-existent love life..everything. The only good thing that's happened is a nice sounding guy has contacted me and is suggesting meeting for a drink already! Or should this actually worry me, given makeup's recent experiences!?!
I'm going to get off and have a bath I think and quietly despair. Take care guys

Come on Gwen, deep breath, calm down :A
That's better, now I think the bath is a good idea but I would give the despair a miss :rolleyes:
Then later, or tomorrow come back on here and we can all help you to make a 'baby steps' plan to help you on your way until you are feeling F Fabulous againSometimes it's hard to walk in a single woman's shoes - that's why we need really special ones!Total debt @ Oct 2008: £29,226.42 Credit Card- £[STRIKE]7493.56[/STRIKE] - £7243.56Weightloss : 0/34lbs0 -
Gwen - random unsolicited advice - but here goes, Ignore the request from the ex, who wants a prat on your facebook, do use the cc to buy food and live off it for a month. Its not great but we have all done it.
then start a diary (hugely motivating) do a budget and figure it out. You can and you will

Thanks girls. I just called my friend who basically said the same. I'm not adding the ex, esp. as I sneaked a peek at his profile and his current gf looks like a model. I was only talking to somebody about him last week - maybe his ears were burning?!
I will need to live off the CC this month. There's no alternative. Really not happy about that. I have the vague beginnings of a plan forming. This week - concentrate on work (v.busy and presentation to do) and job applications. After that, concentrate on moneysaving/making, incl. a spending diary to see where it's all going. I'm a bit better, but still a bit sick about the money situation.
