dottyanne

lol, thanks, though im feeling a bit depressed of late, debts are slowly going down but a bit slower than i would like, its as though everything as just caught up with me all at once, im really depressed and down at the moment, im stuck in a job i hate but wont get anythign else for the same money, i feel trapped with no way out at the moment

Awww thats not good hun. Whats making you depressed. Maybe you need a little action plan, lots of baby steps to get you out of the situation that is depressing you, if that makes sense.

*zippy*

((hugs)) dotty. It's hard isn't, I know I start wishing my life away until its payday and I can make another payment. Is there anything you can do for an inexpensive treat, at the moment we are making an effort to do one nice free thing a week and as the weather is nice we have been going for walks in the countryside or beach, blackberry picking etc.

thanks doodle n zippy - i suppose everyone gets on a downer sometimes, were only human, i keep wishing id ade different choices previously - especially where finances are concerned but i guess theres not a lot we can do now to change past mistakes, i am focusing on what matters most to me at the moment which is clearing this debt, its like a constant weight on my shoulders, family arent very sympathetic, although i dont think they know the true extent of my debt and i hate my job but wont get anything that pays teh same at the moment, so to say i feel trapped is an understatement - i know i will prob feel better in a few days but life really sucks at the moment

*Jellie*

When I feel like this I try and think of all the things I've achieved and focus on the good things in life.
I also enjoy getting out for walks, especially while the weather is still fine.

Evening Dotty just checking in to see if you're ok

dottyanne

hey doodles, feeling a bit more positive today, with F & F settlement offers im £190.66 away from clearing cc debts that stood at £1645.00 so I am on track for my goal of clearing the majority (especially of my 'smaller' debts by the end of 2010, got to stay focused and obviously im gonna get the odd downer, apart from food and petrol, the ONLY spend every month is food and petrol - end of story, but as long as we can keep this up till the end of next year we will be in a lot better of a situation financially, go me !!!

Glad to hear you are feeling more positive Dotty. We all have good days and bad and sometimes the bad ones full more often. We just have to keep on track and plodding away
