The tiny spider that taught me a big lesson....

20 questions done (would have done it sooner but had to wait for them to update the system).

Will do another 20 from 10am. I finally managed to buy some more food yesterday so my freezer doesn't look empty now.

However, I still really want to get into baking my own stuff. Every time I go shopping now, I am going to buy at least 1 thing to stock up my ingredients. Yesterday I bought some plain and self-raising flour. Any tips on what else to buy? Will have to get on over to the OS board.

Will be back after another 20 questions.

Thought I would pop back in before I go to sleep. I managed to do my 150 questions and also put a couple of bits on eBay.

Now just drinking my tasty (not) yoghurt drink which is 300 calories. Extra weight here I come!!

Night all.

It is full of sugar. Trust me though, when you have CF it is all about the sugar!! Sugar = calories. When I was in hospital last year, they were giving me 2 of these a day plus going to the shop and buying me fizzy drinks and chocolate bars. And they were medical staff!

One of the very few plus points of CF is basically being told to eat anything and everything .

Morning everyone

Sorry, moan coming up. I am so fed up with being skint all the time. I have actually reached a new level of skint - Super Skint. I have £1.10 to last me until Wednesday next week. I seem to get a new bill every week that takes some of my DLA away on Wednesdays. This week I need to pay £50 towards my sofa (on my mum's credit card). Last week I had to pay some off my furniture (on my mum's catalogue). I'm sure something else will come about next week. I feel like the debts and bills are like flies and they keep coming at me and I swat them away but they just keep coming.

So I need to get rid of the flies. Starting with my sofa debt. I will find out from my mum how much is left on there and work on getting rid of as much of it as I can next month.

However, for the rest of this month, I need to sell as much as I can on eBay so that I can pay for my passport. My OH booked a holiday for us in Spain at the end of August/beginning of September. A nice gesture? Not when he knows I have no passport and no money. It's ok for him who just got paid a bonus of £5k. So I am going to fish out as much eBay stuff as I can to put on Sunday. That means it will sell on the 1st (hopefully) and I can use that money to get my passport (hoping for enough to cover the whole cost). I don't have that much to sell so am aiming for 25 items. That's 5 items a day over the next 5 days I have to find. Off to look for some bits in a minute.

Must get 150 questions done today and I have a mystery shop to do. Be back later.

Emily xx
