Buffy gets a life and budget Diary

  • It was lovely. A mid afternoon nap whilst on holiday is so self indulgent......

    I have a real crush on one of the reporter off my local news. I do seem to be obssessed with men lately its like I am on heat or something!

    Any way.

    I have woken up looked round my room and decided its like Fly lady never happened. And I have an odd back ache that hurts when I breath?? Don't know what that's about.

    I had a "row" with Mum - she didn't like the dinner she cooked. I hate food do you know that? If I could take a meal replacement pill I SO would. Its a bloody nusiance to decide what to have for lunch/dinner everyday I do not care at all. I cannot for the life of me understand why she asks, she does the shopping and the cooking!!! I should cook at least once a week I guess but then we just get into arguments about the state of kitchen and the concept of sell by dates and wasting money. I shouldn't do it really. I should be grateful and I am, I think today I am just not hungry and fed up with having to have dinner.

    One thing I have noticed re the chocolate my appetite has lessened so much, I just don't seem to eat that much any more. Nor have I weighed myself recently. hmmmm. Shred should start Saturday.

    Its really sad about Alex Higgins, I remember watching him play. I used to love snooker. Apparently he ended up with nothing. Makes me so sad. poor damaged man. hope he is safe and happy now.

    I don't know what I am going to do tonight.
    I shall go read some diaries...............xxxxx

    you sound very down again..hope things get better for you.
  • I'm not really down, I think just a bit fed up? I know it sounds the same but sitting here I wouldn't say I was down as such. I think its just all my friends are away on holiday, I have been invited on two holidays......... but know there is too much to do here to go anywhere and I think I am remembering last summer when I spent the whole time trying to do stuff and giving up cos of Mum - although it is completely unfair of me to say that, I could have compromised a lot more, but saw it as only doing 1/2 the job - which in hindsight would have been a start. Flylady would say I was stopped by my perfectionism. I would say I was lazy!

    Ahhh poor you...it's hard when you've got so much to do and don't know where to start.
  • No poor me! I am honestly lazy and feel sorry for myself, i just need to get a grip.

    Honestly Taxi having you say that makes me feel awful. I am really sorry to be moaning when actually I just need to stop being such a baby.
