Single and in Debt Part 3- The problem of surplus and excess women

lol, no nothing nice to buy at my work! I used to work in the city centre though and that was deadly. I got a bit of a reputation....I'd come in from lunch and people would go 'what did you get today then?' I work in the middle of nowhere now, so easy enough to avoid the shops.

Talking about iPhones, I'm just catching up on SAID on mine... But have to agree, not very MSE at all... Got mine about a year ago when my other phone ended up in the ocean after the boating 'incident', but almost wish I could trade it in for a cheaper option now. It's costing me $93 per month

ugh.. Feeling so sick..

How long's left on your contract misslauren? Could you sell the phone, use that money to pay off the rest of your contract and start again with a cheaper phone on a cheaper tarriff?

Hello all, hope everyone is okay. Hae spent today getting on with some decluttering and I can finally see a small difference. I have made up a bag of dvds and cds for the charity shop, they are quite old and not really worth keeping to ebay, I took 2 bags of books to the charity shop earlier and I have thrown out a bag of rubbish and am on my way to filling another one. I am determined to have a total clear out so that the only things left are anything I would definitely take with me if I moved. I have a feeling that is going to be a lot of work.:(

I need to have another root through my wardrobe to chuck some things out as I think I am not too far off being able to move some of the clothes I have packed away for when I lose weight.:j I need to get try them on as some of them might actually fit me now:D. Moving those to the wardrobe should give me some more space and thus make it easier to keep tidy. I need to be like the women on the OS board who count stuff into the house and make sure the same number of items go out.

I have been doing a little spending:o as I decided it was better to get some wine to store in the house to avoid the temptation of going to the shop for one bottle and being tempted to get other things so I have ordered 12 bottles of wine from Tesco for £50 with free delivery and an extra 500 points using a code from the MSE email. I did that last night so today is an NSD:).

I need to keep busy to stop me from stressing about money:( so I'm off to get some more done:).

Hi sarah, glad to see you have been some quality time with bin bags

Great news on fitting into clothes too :j

Have been housebound all day; DD has been under attack from the winter vomiting virus .

I'm just waiting to see if I'm the next victim. It has certainly made me think very hard about what I eat today - soup, soup & a bit more soup.

Upside is it's been another NSD

Well done Sarah. I would LOVE to come round and sort your wardrobe, and I mean that but you're miles away! Oh and I'll warn you, I'm very bossy.

Evening all.

Well done on the decluttering sarah! I hopey our DD feels better soon Lula, and you don't catch it too.

Well today hasn't been a good day at all. I found out that I'm, to all intents and purposes, losing my job at some point in the next few months. No-one knows when, but it's looking probable to be the end of March _pale_

However, I have a plan and am trying to make the best of this. It's just f***ing hard at the moment :mad:

:rotfl::AI would love you to come and sort my wardrobe, I am having a go at it now and it's a nightmare:( I had my room tidy and now it's a mess again. :mad: I am going to have to throw out quite a lot to get everything tidy and presentable. Am having a shoe storage nightmare:(. I have just got everything out and about to start asking myself when I last wore it and will I ever wear it again about every single thing. I have dropped being ruthless and now going for brutal instead:D. I am such a hoarder and have a dread of thowing out something and then needing that exact thing a week later. But I am going to be brave and just get rid
