shucks guys thanks very much everyone
...i only told one person and i really owe her a kick up the butt
(she know's who she is ) wasn't looking to forward to my b/day to be kinda truthfull no money trying to get d.f. etc...but it turned out a almost perfect day ..took son shopping for school clothes (hubby got a fantastic wage this month) paid my visa almost off only have £100 which will clear next month...whilst out son took me out to pizza hut for lunch ..i'm not a great fan of the hut but it was lovely of my son he has been spending the last few week in with his gf and now i know why ....then last night hubby too me out to chinese i had 4 courses
..i only ever eat 2 but i had 4 and they were lovely ..couldn't move for rest of night and was uncomfortable sleeping lol :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: ..so weebling has really suffered ..rest of week i'll need to be extra extra careful...and not a very d.f.w day either i couldve paid off the visa and had a bit left to put into savings to try and pay next bill:o
..have noticed i have been squandering my savings as well ....i need to get back on the wagon and fix this mess i'm in once and for all..so if anyone can give me a virtual kick up the jacksie i'd appreciate it :rolleyes: ...gotta do better..gotta do better ..my mantra for the week

thanks ff hey if you have a cat spare i could put him to good use ..we got a cat when we first moved in here due to mice..we had a wonderful old lady living next door to us ..although she was wonderful ..she wasn't capable of looking after her home so without going into any details ..we aquired a cat ..unfortunatley he was run over in feb of this year and we all really struggled with him passing ....now the mice have arrived back and i want to get a cat again (they really sort the blighters out) but family are like no it hurt's to much ..which i can understand ...but if i could say borrow one for a few months ..and if my problem clears up well he would be earning a wage lol .....i know i shouldnt be too hard on myself ..but i was doing so good ...tackling all the small things ..then blew themall outa the sky in one fell swoop ....ho hum today is another start...0

Hi eltan...managed to stop eating?!! I just had rice crispies & packet of crisps for brekkie - healthy eh!! Forgot to say re cats - firtsly I just couldnt part with any of them (sorry!!) but not sure f they have the nouse for actually catching mice. Dotty cat (the one who growls when the doorbell goes) can play fetch with a play mouse but thanfully they've never come home with real ones....long may it continue I say!! Couldnt you get one from RSPCA/PDSA? Have a good day!Nerd no 109 Long haulers supporters DFW #1! Even in the darkest moments, love and hope are always possible.0
