Sorry


Well, that sounds pretty good to me!


I often think of you, Marru. You've always struck me as a very strong capeable person who hasn't just sat on her backside, but has tried hard to change her life through some very tough times.

Marru

Well thank you.

Some time ago I wrote about the lack of focus. I have been thinking about this. Any reader of this thread can see how I keep bouncing from one hare brained idea to another. Like first it was studying Swedish and then that turned into German. I think all of these ideas and plans have been a means to provide me an escape route from the situation I have found myself in. Just to give some hope and some control and something to look forward to even if they never materialise.

This leads me to a new hare brained idea. I started running again but wasn't really enjoying it that much this time around. Also to do it means military organisation with DD and getting change of clothes and shower stuff packed to take with me in the morning. Then I was looking at the gyms but they are so expensive and also with DD I have very limited time to go there (unless I pay for the creche).

So with all that I have justified myself the cost to buy some Zumba DVDs. I am going to turn my bed around so that I can get more space in the bedroom. I am going to try run the DVDs on my old laptop but if it proves to be too slow working I have decided to invest on cheapish portable DVD player. But I am not allowed to buy the player until I have actually used the DVDs on the laptop.

While I am waiting for postie to bring my DVDs I need to get my paperwork in order as it is now taking over my bedroom floor. Should be a motivation enough.

By the way I still haven't decided which language I should study. Or perhaps I should do the English IAELTS exam, or perhaps I should just stick with the ACCA exam I am planning on doing in June.

oh Marru you have a diary! I didn't see that. I've subscribed and will come back later for a read. eeeh that makes me sound like a right nosey bag :rotfl:

Marru, it is funny about what you have just written. I have taken on loads of new responsibilities outside of my office job, all voluntary and I am just sitting here thinking I don't have time to do this, that and the other, as we are going out this afternoon, and just remembered I need to go and pick something up, so need to do that before we go out.

Then I was thinking I need to give up the office job! It is really interfering with my life! But as it is a steady guaranteed income I need to keep it up!

and I don't mean funny haha mean funny that I chose this point to read your diary.

Phew, that was a ride and a half. I finally managed o read your diary.

Regarding the jumping from one hare brained idea to another, having written my own diary on another forum I would jump from idea to idea. I wrote about renewing my wedding vows to visiting Holland.. non of which I'm actively planning or saving for. The thing with diaries is we're emptying what is happening in our own heads, we're expressing thoughts, that's all. Every day we'll have a different thought and express it. It's only when you read your diary back that you think 'what a flitty hare brainer' lol

You strike me as someone coping and has learned to cope. I can visualise you shattered by 7pm but actually quite content? I too have a 6 year old. I pride myself on bringing her up well and really proud of her but by gosh she can disappoint me at the minute. A selfish, spoilt little girl who acts like a teenager. It's got to be the age.. hope it quits as we'll need a break before the real teenage years.

Debt and DCA's are horrible. We went into our family court for our bankruptcy. We sat amongst people who were there to discuss their children. The tensions in that waiting room was surreal, so pressured, a mix of emotions for different reasons so I can appreciate how stressful that must have been for you.

Well done on passing your exams. Did you decide to do another one in the summer? I can't remember reading it. Apologies if you wrote it.

Till the next time Marru.
