    Hugs Buffy :grouphug:

    I'm the same today. Its 24 years since I lost mine, and every Fathers Day is still difficult.
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:
    Loves being a Wonderbra friend :kisses3:
  • Thank you ladies xxxx means a lot. a heck of a lot actually. I honestly wonder if I hadnever found this website what would have happened to me.

    I went for my walk, feel more on an even keel. Got loads to do. I have also entered a local race for life - well I say local its in Hyde park - not really local but you can get there by train!

  • It turned out that not a lot was on the agenda. After my walk I did a little tidying, had lunch, did some more tidying (not hugely successful - I went through my post......money situation is not good.) I have very little cash left and I don't get paid till a week Wednesday.

    This week's shopping will have to be on the CC. depressing as I was already using it for my social life this month - I kid myself its for the points (got almost40 quid for Xmas) but really it is becoming easy again.

    I am getting that horrible panicky feeling again. ugh. money. I have spent loads and loads,needed to stock up on make up, bras, two sister's birthdays plus the cars being MOT'ed in the last two months have really left me a bit stuck. I have not kept my eye on the ball AT ALL.

    Come the 2nd of July I am going to be SO skint. But the CC will be paid, Mum will be paid (she bought and sent my Sister's present).
    oh dear. need to do a budget.

  • Tis indeed a new slate.

    I must get back to doing surveys and free scratch cards. Plus Doo yoo, not that I ever really understood how that all worked! I can also Greenmet some books. And I never did Music magpie the cds!

    It all takes organisation, That thing I just don't have. It is my big stumbling block in life - worked out from the Wake up Challenge Thread. I have so many books, but don't actually follow any of them. I think I seriously need to get back in the Fly lady groove. She was by far the best.

    Next weekend is a big party and then a wedding related shopping trip. Not a great deal of time this week. But with the 15 minute thing I will get stuff done.

    see you all tomorrow

  • Why not just do a carboot, anything that doesnt sell put on the various selling sites but with carboot you can just sold as seen and no packaging or postage all you need is some carrier bags :-) xx if I lived close I'd help you sort and organise I like having boxes and files and notebooks etc etc lol quirky thing of mine lol x
