Buffy Cracks the Egg Diary 2010

LouiseJ

I agree that challenges can motivate you but try to focus on one thing at a time my friend otherwise the whole lot will just seem overwhelming and almost impossible.

Set 1 goal and focus on that:A

And make lists........we like lists:D

Just off to do mine now on my diary:cool:

Couldn't sleep, Breakfast Club is on. Brilliant film.

Reminded me of the girl I used to be.

Honestly you really do think you have all the time in the world and you really dont.

:eek: ... I was watching too & had the exact same thoughts & I have also delayed decorating my bathroom for another week as my room took priority ...

We must be living a parallel existence, spooky but reassuring

Glad the driving is going so well, it really will give you so much more control over your life .

Oh, I also had bacon this morning, and egg, & tomatoes, & mushrooms, & sausages & fried bread ... no wonder I never declare any weightloss :rotfl:

Then again I caught a few minutes of The Prince & The Showgirl this afternoon & was mesmerised at just how beautiful Marilyn Monroe was & wow what an amazing figure she had, definitely not a size 8 & she looked gorgeous.

We can aspire ...

Glad I wasn't the only one watching The Breakfast Club!

Have been thinking loads (when I should have been marking!!!) I wrote in my diary (part of the exercises in the Declutter book I bought) a full account but don't feel entirely comfortable having it all out here for all to see but here is general gist of it!

I know anything can happen in life, but I also know if I sit here doing the same stuff I have always done I really will get what I always have. Hey that has been the pattern thus far.

The solutions
1. Make doctor’s appointment.
2. Reorganise storage space in bed room so I can work
3. Keep up with my driving lessons(freedom beckons)
4. Cancel credit cards and surplus bank accounts
5. Budget – pay all my wages into one account and pay out spending money and driving lesson costs. No more using the CC.
6. Reactivate old bank account for extra money to loan.
7. Clear garden (1/2 term skip hire)
8. Make £300 a month extra starting from July. Got lots to sell on e bay
9. Pay £1000 a month to the loan from July.
10. Figure out a way to pay for the Central Heating. Will cost me about 800 pounds (am paying half.)
11. Go to bed at eleven
12. Complete the DVDs- walking and shred.
Hopefully in a round 8/9 months I will be debt free and able to save for a house. It will more than likely be a rent situation so not ideal but a way to have a life.
I have made a start on number two but it has not gone well! I have SO much crap. And its stuff like plastic wallets and paper not even things I could sell on e bay.

Fab list Buffy - good to hear you sounding more positive

Slight dip in positivity. well massive dip

The two goldfish I bought? Original cost = £7.50
Now?

the price of a new !!!!ing carpet. I was medicating them and knocked the medication out of my hand cos I was in a hurry to go downstairs. Dark blue splash all over a beige carpet. I could cry. I REALLY could.

It stains permanently. I won't be able to cover it up with a rug - it is right near the door.

And do you know what was most !!!!ing irritating? Mum just didn't care. My room is a tip because its so !!!!ing small. And now it just looks awful

And how much it is cost to replace the sodding carpet.
I am so stressed guys. I have a headache. I can feel my heart beating really hard. I just don't need this.

To top it all the fish will more then likely die any way.

As per usual the day hasn't turned out at all as I hoped.

*goes off to feel utterly sorry for herself and doesn't care how bad it looks.*

Try 1001 carpet shampoo - it's amazing, saved the day for me a few times

Have a (((BIG HUG))) my friend xxxx

Oh, just had an idea............is it still wet? I spilled red wine on our cream carpet and I threw over a full tub of bicarbonate of soda. It sort of soaks up the stain and when its dry just hoover it up.
