Making every penny count

40somethingmum

Hi DC,

Thanks for posting on my diary. I was just looking for it and could not find it anywhere:rotfl:

You are right we WILL get through this. I got the electric reminder on Friday so will have to pay this week.

I am acting a bit weird with my money at the moment:o I have bills, ccs etc to pay , I have money in the bank to pay some of them, but suddenly seemed paniced about spending it as I might need it for something else ( insert shruggy man) All very strange.

Hope you are ok, sweets. I have kinda got in a rut again... need to kick myself up the butt again. I feel like life is just passing me by and I am not enjoying the ride IYSWIM. Looking for some spiritual enlightenment;)

Oh, the diet that I started a few weeks ago .... has not started yet...and I have to be skinny in 2 weeks time:eek:

Enjoy your Sunday

Yep that's me, every single month though. I'm not living in the OD anymore, so it is there for said emergency panicky moments, but perhaps it's a security thing ? I dunno.

I know you are a busy lady but have a look at the wake-up call thread on the main DFW board, is aimed at us 'stuck in a rut' peeps.

So glad it's Sunday, hope you have a good day too.

Funnily enough I *discovered* the wake-up call thread the other day and have been reading.... just have not got round to posting on it:o As you know I am totally into self-help, personal development so it right up my street:D Just need to put some things into practice

Last day of half-term today and have now got the Sunday blues. Its not the work thing , as apart from Friday I have been working all week, no its the school run I dread

At least you know what you dread(so that's a good start)....is there anything you can do to make it easier for yourself?...


I know the life passing you by feeling and totally understand where you are coming from on that one and you are def not alone on that one.There are loads of people on here feeling the same way....(I need to find that thread you were on about as well and have a read).

Hope you can have a nice day x

Hi Taxi,

As far as the school run goes ... I really need to just get on with it:o. Grin & bear it , if you like.

The " Wake -up call " thread is on the main DFW board ( not the diaries board) .... It caught my eye just as I was about to click the diary board to come on here. It is certainly worth a read.

Hope you are chillaxing

I have just spend a productive hour or so clearing the clutter hole that is my kitchen ( my whole house TBH:o) ... so feel quite pleased with myself:).

I really need to try the flylady malarchy .... my house is a tip:o.

Every room needs doing up. I need a new bathroom ( including floor), new kitchen etc etc but no money to do so , therefore need to make the most of what we have got. I never invite people over as I am ashamed by the state of my house :o. The only good thing about clutter is that it hides the dust;)


:o:o

Right now off to do my new hobby ... comping;) . Hopefully over the coming months I can perhaps win some games , Dvds which I can put away for Christmas.

The boys thinks my recent win....babycham glasses are fab. Little one was drinking water out one, and I heard him say " shaken not stirred"... Didn't know James Bond drank babycham:rotfl::rotfl:

Catch you later

After half term my house does have that shall we say 'lived in' look ?
(Well actually who am I kidding, it always looks like this. )
