    Thank goodness someone else doesn't understand any of this either:o

    If you think all the stuff on your computer as being like Sarah's room (stuff everywhere - all over the place:rotfl:) what this does is tidy it all up, organises it & sort of compresses it all together, giving you more space for new stuff :p

    You can do it :D Remember, we've all been there - just shout if you need help/cheering up :A

    Thankyou!!! I have vague plans of ebaying, matched betting and all sorts, but I find it hard to stay motivated.

  • Hello properly ladies

    well, today's de cluttering went half well until I came upon my old diaries that was interesting hour or so looking back on my past! I haven't changed and I sure don't give up. They are the positive things I can take from it, I have wasted a great deal of time and do feel sad about that.

    I am getting sorted tho, have a box full of ebay stuff I was pleased to discover that although I have box under the bed of toiletries much of it is second bottles of stuff I use, a couple gift things and bath stuff.

    In reading of my diaries I realised how much time I wasted over my last not boyfriend ex. So with that in mind I am going to stick my original plan of being properly single for a year, officially I haven't had a boy friend since I was about 26? but the not BF was around for a while and although I broke up with him maybe three times during that time we finally finished all contact in Jan this year.

    I have hidden my profile on the cupid and fishing sites and figure if my knight in shining armour is out there he can wait.

    For now its on with my list (see diary) and down with the debts.

    Wow, Gwen, you've been doing well under the circumstances.

    High Five for the bargain shop in M&S - can't believe all those sausages and burgers for that amount. I never find deals like that (mostly cos I'm looking at the cakes......)

    My day ok - work was fine but I was bored and needed some big motivation!

    Am v. worried about tomorrow though. Have a big thing happening and quite worried will fall apart about my ears. That is problem of relying on other people!!!! I better get into work early so can try and sort problems (if there are any!)

    Lula - :j:j for getting under £5k mark, and only 4 weeks behind schedule is great achievement. I'm sure you can be money saving on hols, are you self catering? Make sure you don't spend lots of cash on eating out, the euro is so carp at moment that eating out abroad isnt the amazing deal it once was!
    I've got my own flat :j:j

    Now I have to pay the bills :eek:

    And feed my interiors addiction ;)

    I am definately an expert on losing motivation :o Have just started yet another plan - hopefully more manageable this time :D

    Hi makeup

    Good luck tomorrow, I'm sure you'll be fine. I have a habit of getting all stressy when I have big things on but it always seem to turn out fine. If you're organised you can just deal with any last minute stuff that comes along :D

    No I don't think I said when I'd been paid. Just explaining. Not v.good. I'm going to have to work v.hard to sort this mess out.

    Gwen, hope you are okay, I know it can be quite frightening when you run out of money a few days after payday, been there done that. :rolleyes: I don't know if you are any good at ebaying and amazoning, but if you are could you give it a go for this month and just throw everything you can at it?

    Also the daily clicks which are v boring and won't pay out for a couple of months but I think you can get about £3 a day which will add up, you may not be able to get at the money now but you can set it aside to pay part of your cc, so at least even though you have to spend on the card you are doing something positive to pay some of it off which might help you feel better about it.

    Your electricity bill sounds very high, is there any chance they owe you money?

    Do you have any Boots/tesco/nectar points that you can turn into vouchers?
