Buffy gets a life and budget Diary

Buffythedebtslayer

trust me if you saw the bathroom you would realise what a terrible daughter I am. Its like a block tho, until I fix the house I can't leave it and actually we shouldn't be living like this. At all. There is no excuse! lol.

Well my bathroom didn't happen either, ended up watching CDWM down under whilst tackling the ironing. Tell me what do other people do with coat hangers when they are not 'hanging' clothes. If I was up to date with all this domestic stuff I wouldn't have any spare, but I seem to have a mountain of tangled, noisy hangers permenantly in my ironing basket, just tedious.

Ziggles, the bathroom seal, I am impressed last time I had a go it looked like one of the kids had a fight with the toothpaste tube.

Buffy, sure you are not a terrible daughter, and you did get some stuff done. Don't be admitting defeat against the clutter monster at this point, I can't do this on my own. And as for growing up, that really scares me at 42, that's something I don't want to do.

Make the tasks easily achievable. Sit down with a note book an write a list of everything the needs taclkling. Then prioritise. What is needing doing now for immediate change. Or what can be done now that needs little effort but can make a huge difference. Rome was not built in a day :-) xx

Not a bad day here, I sanded the walls, discovered they are rubbish! They are now more polyfilla then actual wall but hey! Before that i emptied the bathroom of everything! We have a lot of stuff.......... which will be sorted tomorrow.

I had to wait for the filler to dry so couldn't paint but I am pleased with myself today. I made my payment a day to the CC, did the bathroom aside from some pringles I have eaten pretty well.

tomorrow's list
1. go to work, empty one drawer and sort it.
2. Pop to Homebase to see about primer and flower pot bases.
3. Come home, sand and paint the walls of the bathroom.
4. Sort and organise the bathroom stuff.

That's a brilliant day Buffy.
And your list for tomorrow seems to be achievable.

I have rubbish bathroom walls ! So bad the paint is trying to escape ...seriously ! Somebody at sometime must have been practising the plastering, maybe while being plastered, tis all uneven and just weird.

I hope you are proud though. Painting is the fun bit, well more fun than sanding.

THanks Guys *blushes*

I know its not as much as some people do but I was pleased.

Today was pretty eventful, overslept! I did go to work, but got side tracked in a good way by my friend who gave me a good talking to re work. She was right in a lot of what she said and it was hard to hear but I do need to make my peace with work and find away to make it work for me.

I walked so def did my steps and I did sort some stuff out, then I came home and sanded and painted the bathroom - undercoat only but it looks SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much better!

I found paint in the shed and didn't have to go to homebase which is good cos A and L have stuffed up flipping annoying bank!!!! However the nsd means I still have cash for tomorrow's driving lesson

I am sleepy now tho! but my brain won't stop running around

My brain didn't stop running around, mostly work stuff and ex bf stuff. I woke up from a bad dream about work which landed me with a whopper of a migraine, vomiting, shaking, seeing stuff all fun! I woke for lunch, struggled through a really good film - Knowing but I think the special effects setme off again so I went back to bed.

I can still feel the pain but it is a lot less now.

It was definitely triggered by yesterday and going in to work, I have to find away to make peace with work. When I list the pros and cons the pros are longer, but the cons are so big. I must use this holiday to sort myself out. I need the job. it fits in so well with the rest of my life in terms of my second job, travel there and back, very near home.

As I resent the way the place is run I find very hard to be motivated to finish work on time, although actually my workload is massive. The chat with my friend yesterday - she was shocked that I had so much to do, thought it was impossible. I don't like the being watched feeling and the constant judgemental checking.

How can I turn this into a positve?

In other bank related news, I have started the switching over process to Halifax. must go and scratch and make my pad.
