Hello Jellie. I'm new to the diaries and am just searching through for some inspiration and came across yours. I just started mine yesterday and its going to be a long journey. But anyhow, just wanted to say your doing a great job and seem very productive, keep up the great work. I will go and subscribe to keep myself updated.

Hey Jellie, I'm so sorry I've been away for so long. And oh poor you having an op, big hugs all round. If there's anything I can do for you hun pleaes PM me, there's nothing worse than feeling poorly and a bit helpless. You're on the mend now which is a great thing, Just rest and keep watching Jeremy Kyle ant I'm sure you'll be fit and fighting in no time.
big hugs

Hi thecats whiskers! Welcome to diaryland. Mine hasn't got much MSE stuff in it at the moment as I'm feeling too ill to worry about meal planning etc.
SH- think I'm caught up now. Being sick quite a lot again though, which is quite draining
Missy- I knew you'd be busy catching up with OH. Thanks for the offer of help- having people here to chat to makes a difference as I feel very isolated from being off at the moment. I think the isolation and anxiety about this dragging on for so long is making me feel worse. It doesn't help knowing everyone at work is quite stressed as I know I'll need to be at full strength to cope but feel like I need to get back asap to feel like life is normal again....am I making any sense?!2019 fashion on a ration 0/66 coupons0 -
Have just paid my PADs over to the credit card- another £100 wiped off the debt!2019 fashion on a ration 0/66 coupons0

Just checking spends so far this month. If I stay within budget I reckon I can aim to clear £700 this month. The tough thing is going to be managing in the run up to Christmas- I need to stick to my resolve and be careful on spending on OH for his 40th and Crimbo. I'm sure when I get through the rest of the present boxes I'll need to buy very little for people. That doesn't mean I won't get carried away!2019 fashion on a ration 0/66 coupons0
