    Ah, that sounds lovely SH. I do think having a comfortable bed is really important. Mine isn't that great, would love to buy a new matteress, but it's just not going to happen. :( Actually, a whole own bed would be great, then you could have what ever you wanted. One day...Bf's bed is really comfy!

    Just got bad news. The duvet cover I ordered is not in stock so they have to refund me. :( It was really nice as well and I'm really fussy, plus I don't want to pay too much. Thankfully my mate will be bringing something that'll tie me over. REally want to buy some new pillows as well. I've never liked really thick ones, but my old ones are getting really thin now.

    Bad, bad, bad news! Only work stuff though...Boss just had a meeting, couple of service areas have merged and now they're moving us. Back to where I used to work, which is an industrial estate the other side of town. Atm I walk to work and work in a lovely building in the middle of the city. Now I have to again, start driving to work, or if it's nice, cycling. It's not very far at all, but no direct bus routes and walking would take too long. I'm so not happy. We had a talk about this earlier that it might happen, and I said I don't want to go back.Maybe this is the push that I need to really start looking at other jobs. The thing is, they want us to move 2nd week of march, which is not good as it's the end of financial year, which is always busy. Now we have to pack, and then unpack and deal with the busiest time of year! Not fair!!! :(:(:(

    Very happy! Managed to sell 5 items on ebay last night. Only a quarter of which I put on, but better than nothing, should make just over £30 after fees and postage etc. The fees reduce my received amount with about a quarter as well :( thieving B*****ds... But a good start to March! :)

    It's really annoying when you see you've loads of watchers on an item, and then no one bids! Less annoying is the same situation, but just one person bids.

    Been bit down lately with all the debt, not having a life I want etc. Think the ups and downs are going to carry on though as long as I'm in debt. Can't see my aim of debt freedomness working atm, but who knows what come along on the way so trying to keep positive.I need more of a balance though, so need to see what I can do about that.

    Hi,

    Sorry you are feeling so down. I know you are sick of me telling you to join dooyoo but you could earn up to about £7-10 a week just spending 1/2 an hour writing reviews. You could review volleyball and other things that mean a lot to you. That is quite a bit of cash to be going off your debts. I know you want to keep up your hobbies but 1/2 an hour a day should be doable & make you feel better about the cash situation :)

    I think nagging helps :D and I might have to have a look into it. The problem is, it helps but it doesn't resolve the problem, which is that my work is unfulfilling and I've kind of fallen down this road that I don't want to go down anymore...how come some people just know what they want to do?

    But thanks CMD, and bare with me, I'll get there someday I guess.
