I need a bit of positivity in my life. Everything is wrong at the moment. My antibiotics are causing all sorts of problems, I feel knackered all the time because I am basically taking 3,500mg of antibiotics a day. They are also giving me severe heartburn every night and one that I have to take twice a day is massive and makes me practically choke every time I take it - but it can't be halved or crushed so I have no choice.
I have no money either, well I've got about £2 to my name at the moment and that will have to last until Wednesday next week. I managed to get some food yesterday with my Nectar points and have another £7.50 worth on there if I get desperate.
My car has nearly run out of petrol (thank god I'm not at work this week or I would be in trouble). My house is also a mess and this is the only thing that I can change at the moment so will be cracking on with that this evening.
I'm going to my mum's in a bit so I can eat her food. I hope she doesn't want me to take her anywhere though.
All my negativity is all out now so now I need to get positive
Sorry for being on a downer - will post again later when I'm happier

Hi everyone
I feel a bit better now. I was feeling really sick this morning because of the tablets so I don't think that was helping. I went to my mums, had a couple of nice meals and she even bought me some Pepsi as I was living on Tesco value orange squash (nothing wrong with that by the way, it's just that I am seriously addicted to Pepsi - my 1 and only vice!!).
So, tonight I am planning on tidying up my tip of a bedroom. At least I will then have some tidy space and tomorrow morning I am going to get up at 8am (not stay in bed to gone 11am like this morning) and crack on with cleaning the kitchen and downstairs of the house before going to my mums again in time for lunch (what would we do without our mums!!).

Hi everyone
Not had a bad day today. I actually managed to get up at 8.30am which I felt a lot better for than lazing around in bed to nearly lunchtime. I'll do the same tomorrow.
Got all of my washing on the line as we speak so will take that in when I go home. I'm also going to clean the kitchen tonight and hoover the rest of the house. I seem to be able to get more housework done in the evenings compared to the morning.
Got to put in my Avon order tonight too - got around £200 in orders so not that bad but haven't really put any effort in this campaign as not been feeling well.
Haven't spent any money today either - second NSD in a row.

Glad u r feelin better now and u seem to getting ur cleaning uptodate!
Thats a good order for avon considering u havent put much effort in!!!
Well done one the NSDs. Take it easy!!!! xDFW Nerd #11520 -
My house is looking better now. Just need to clean the kitchen and bathroom now. I've tackled the massive pile of washing up that had accumulated!!
I took my niece to the park today and have got a bit of sunburn now. Will teach me to not put suncream on. I hope it doesn't blister as I'm on those antibiotics and it has done that to me before when we did a carboot (burnt one side of my face - I looked like the phantom of the opera!!).
Once I have got some money I am going to start my PAD again for Barclaycard. I won't be able to pay it all off next month like I had hoped but will hopefully be able to make regular payments so may be able to half it by the end of September.
Might have to make a trip to Sainsburys tomorrow to get some food - running really low. I'm going to have to use my precious Nectar points again. Got £7.50 left on there. Will see what I can get for £2.50.
I'm also going to take my last £8 out of my bank so I can get some petrol. I hate not having any money. I'm waiting for £15 back for a mystery shop but they haven't even sent it yet. That would be a god-send at the moment. Still, I'm not suffering that much so maybe I should pretend that I have no money even when I do!!

Hi Em:wave
Just subscribed to your diary, glad you are back with us:) I find that coming on here and posting everyday makes all the difference! I usually post first thing before the kids wake up so even if I dont get a chance the rest of the day at least I have put my aims for the day in writing for all to see:)November NSD's - 70 -
Morning
I'm knackered this morning. All my own fault though. I was up until 3.30am watching the tennis. Can't resist a bit of Andy Roddick, even though he lost.
I want to check my internet banking to see if I magically have any money but the site is down.
Just had to get rid of a big black spider up the hoover. I might go round to my mums before I see any more!!

At my spider-free mum's house now
. She has fed me too
.
Been playing on BP and have got 5k in points today. I'm going to stop there today though as don't want to push my luck.
I had to speak to my landlady today about a couple of house things that need sorting and she said about her daughter going to uni and that she is considering giving away her chinchilla. She knows how much I love animals and said she would speak to her about me having the chinchilla.
I know it would be another mouth to feed but I have always wanted a little chinchilla. I think they are adorable. She is only 4 years old and would have everything she needs like the cage etc. Normally all of that and a chinchilla would cost around £200 so it seems like an opportunity not to be missed. I will see what she says.

Doh!! I pushed my luck and lost all my points :mad:. That will teach me, I would make a rubbish gambler!!
I am at home now and this is where I am staying so yet another NSD for me :j. I was going to Sainsburys but will leave that to tomorrow I think. I have some food to keep me going and had my main meals at my mums so I am pretty full anyway.
Tomorrow, I have to get my £8 out of the bank so I can put some petrol in my car. This then has to last until Wednesday. I also need to collect my prescription or I'm in danger of not being able to eat anything if my tablets run out. This won't cost as I have my pre-paid card.
Settling down now to watch the tennis - yes I am obsessed with it.
