Hey Buffy
How are you doing today? I hope that you have seen how much we all think of you.
I've been thinking about what you have said on and off today. I hope my question didn't upset you too much. I know how sometimes when you are feeling raw it can hurt even more.
Going on what's been said today, I wonder what you really do for yourself? How do you feed your soul? Do you have something that helps to bring things back into perspective? For me it is my voluntary work - once a week I give an evening or a Sunday morning and somehow it centres me. It is totally cut off from everything else that I do including moneysaving.
Do you have such an escape? Can you find something just for you?
Just an idea...

Buffy - just wanted to say I read your first post and somre more bits of your diary - and I totally emapthise and agree with your approach - some people on here ARE amazing and can throw everything at the debt - but I need to still live my life while doing it - which includes things that could be classed as a luxury - for me, like Sky and football!
There are many ways of getting to the destination - I'm with you on the scenic route!Back to comping! July wins: Frylight August wins: Pixar DVD, Diesel Watch,£75 hamper brioche products September wins bath soak
Thanks to everyone who posts comps and help :beer:0 -
