I feel this is money saving doing it myself as i would be looking at £70 at my hairdressers which i can not afford which has resulted in hair showing the grey!!! hopefully this will give me a bit of motivation!!!!!!
Thanks Sophiesmum, have dyed my hair and i def feel slightly better about myself. hopefully i can get up and into motivation!!!

Uh oh, I have finally opened the scary post and now I need to write following letters:
- 1 to council
- 1 to bailiffs
- 1 to BT
- 3 to different financial institutes
- 3 to different collection agencies
I struggle with motivation. I am trying to figure out how to treat myself after each letter. Please note there is no alcohol in the house :rotfl:Good thing too as that kind of reward might affect the last laters in quite interesting way."Everything will be alright in the end. If it's not alright, it's not the end."

Well done Marru for opening your post and organising what letters you need to write. thats really good and inspiring for me!
motivation is a hard thing and something i lack so much!!
treat yourself.... do you have something naughty to eat in the cupboard? give yourself a pedicure, or save all of them up and treat yourself to a day off when you can have one, just to relax!!!!!!!0 -

Thanks, actually I will have hot lunch date on Sunday so I will keep thinking of how much nicer it will be for me when I don't have all these unwritten letters to stress me out."Everything will be alright in the end. If it's not alright, it's not the end."

Hi and welcome Vikki - DSs are sons or DDs are daughters
Marru - well done on scary post, before your LBM I bet you would have ignored them.
Baby - He is fine now thanks, he was lying in my arms having his milk when he had it so think now on hot days I will feed him his milk in his chair. I was so careful with him too, in the shade all day, no clothes on in the house, plenty of water to drink.
Pookie - Good luck with interview
