Lost in the middle - getting organised and debt free

Marru

I had really lovely time at my friend. She is the best friend I ever have had. And I can talk to her about anything and so can she to me. It is one of those rare relationships where the chat is in balance. We talk about each other's lives and then we talk about general stuff.

I absolutely love her older dog. I have better connection to him than I have to my BF's dogs. But then I used to take him out quite a lot and also sometimes stayed in their house with him when they were away. And I also love one of her cats. It is always such a pleasure to see her and she seems to enjoy our cuddles just as much. I am so much poorer now for not having animals in my life.

On Saturday it was first time that ex took DD out. The positives are that he bought DD a spring jacket and two pairs of trousers. Something that she really needed. But the negatives are that he didn't respect the arrangament which was that I didn't need to meet him so I ended up meeting him both dropping off and picking up. However as we were in the contact centre I was able to at drop of point make a quick exit and in pick up point fairly quicly shut myself in the women only waiting room.

This sounds like I am a bit of a drama queen but he has the knack of drawing me into conversations I don't want to be drawn into and also I don't want the hand overs to be long drawn out situation for the sake of DD. I need to email him and ask for him to respect the arrangement in the future.

Oh and bailiffs have found me :mad: this old thing that I thought was sorted has lifted its ugly head again. So now I need to dig out all my paperwork and get a letter done. Must contact the wise people on this site about it. And yes I have all the names and links it is just matter of getting it done.

I need to decide if I should do next lot of exams in the summer. My friend and BF are both adviseing aganst it. Especially as I have the big court sitting couple of weeks before exams and also I am in the middle of my first year end rush in the new job. Perhaps it would be best not to have that additional preassure on right now. But then doing exams give me purpose even than the price to my energy levels is quite high.

Guuuurrrrrg!! to ex not respecting arrangment, glad you enjoyed furry hug's and had a nice time with your freind.
As for the exam's, do what feel's right for you, but if you do go ahead with them, just remember if it does start to get to you, you can alway's redo them next year, when all is said and done your health is the most important thing to think of.

Thank goodness it is March. I was dreading February as it could have been as cold as in last couple of years but luckily it wasn't. I really hope that the snow is now behind us.

We are heading to another busy time at work but I seem to be much more in control and calmer about things. Please remind me on Friday that this is what I said as it is going to be the busiest day this week.

Yesterday BF entertained DD so that I was able to sort through my paper work and get my spreadsheets upto date. And this morning I got up early and wrote the letter to the last DCA and sent it with the cheque for FF. Then I wrote a letter and cheque for the old council and asked them to get the bailiffs off my back. Now I need to go through all the documents bailiffs have left me and send them a letter where I am going to threaten to take them to court. If they don't refund me my fees in 21 days I will take them to court.

So I feel better. And BF sorted out my kitchen. Now I just need to keep it sorted. However I haven't touched my x stitch for a week so really want to get cracking on that tonight (after doing 15 minutes filing).

I have some stinky cheese with oat cakes for lunch so better go somewhere away from my desk to eat it as not to get funny looks from the others. :rotfl:

It sounds as though you are on top of things Marru, hopefully the letter does some good!

Good day at work. Didn't manage to get everything done that I wanted as something unexpected came up. However I have done everything that was in the time table and more.

However I have a cold and now I feel exhausted. I was too tired to write that letter to the bailiffs today. I have found all the paperwork thou so should be able to do it tomorrow.

I decided not to do any exams in June but now I am thinking that I would really like to do one. Especially as one of my colleagues is doing the same one so we could help eachother and swap notes.

Need to go and get something for tea for both of us. I think it will be an cheesey omelette served with some cucumber as I feel too tired to do anything else.

Might be a good idea to do the one exam in June if your colleague from work is doing it.
As you say you could help each other.

Hope your cold soon goes, and when do you have to let them know about doing the exam? but it dose seem better to do it at the same time to help each other.

The deadline for the exam is 15 April but the deadline for the online course is 10 March. I am going to do it. Going to ask at work tomorrow if they will contribute anything towards the cost.

Really tired today despite having gone to bed just after nine yesterday. I feel another early night coming up. I was going to watch the red nose day thingy on telly at nine and do some stitching but at this rate I better forget it and just go to bed with a book.

In another forum people started to talk about depression and there were lots of recommendations for different books. I have now all of them in my "later basket" in @mazon. I can feel another book shopping spree coming up

I do hope you feel better now (rather than soon!)
