Hi x_raphael_xx

At the top or at the bottom of the page, where you click to go to a different page, click on the < next to page two.

The real question is why do you have a page 12 when there is no page twelve and why do you have a more pages symbol > when there are no more pages.

I know how to skip back pages, what I mean is that due to the 'technical issues' on the site, the first few pages have vanished! Hope the mods can get them back eventually.

Anyhow, I have already finished my Christmas shopping. No grandparents, no parents, no children, no significant other and some years ago, I lost touch with my very best friend. She moved and it got a bit one sided when I was the one doing all the travelling.

Still, looking on the bright side it will be a very cheap Christmas, again.

If I had my way I would hibernate a week before it and wake up a week after it. Scrooge had it just right, Bah Humbug. As for not having any Christmas spirit, just call me Ebenezer.

That's a shame, but sometimes life does get in the way. As it is I will be spending most of christmas day on my own. I was down for the morning shift, then would have probably gone to a friends for xmas dinner. But I've swapped with my collegue so he can have xmas afternoon with his family. I'm now working in the afternoon, it will be too early a start to have xmas dinner with my friend, and too late when I finish.

I will probably cook myself a small pork roast (with loads of crackling :drool: ) and watch Shadow open her presents. I will make enough roast for two thou, so I can have bubble 'n' squeak for dinner on boxing day. I've not had it for ages as I usually only cook roasts when my brother is down, and there is never anything left!

I was not informing you of how to do it but telling you to do it. So, do it now. It was like that yesterday but today there is no page twelve.

When I was working, I used to do the three days between Christmas and the New Year. I would rather be a work with a few others then at home on my own.

I do not know why but I always make myself a turkey roast dinner Christmas day. As buying a turkey for one would be silly I buy a Bernard Mathews Turkey Roast. That gives me enough Turkey for the Christmas, Boxing and New Years days.

A few days before Christmas I will provably give in and and buy a few festive treats, blow my budget and my weight loss.

Still, next year will be the year we both kill our debts.

I've bought myself a small pork joint, less than £2, it will give me enough meat for my xmas dinner and hopefully my bubble & squeak on boxing day.

I've had a good day today, I finished work in the early hours and took Shadow up onto Dartmoor for a bracing walk. The rain held off and it was beautiful in the early morning.



Apart from running off once and woofing at a Dartmoor pony, Shadow was very good and enjoyed the run.
She insisted in rolling in every patch of horse, sheep and cow poo she could find, and despite a bath when we got in she still smells like a stable!



My wages also got paid into my account this morning, so I made a payment onto my credit card online, when it clears my balance will be £900!! Finally into just triple figures! Hopefully I won't need to use the card for the rest of the month. My car has half a tank of fuel, and although I hate going less than that I will hold off until necessary.
I might also need a few bits of groceries come the end of the month but I think I can end the month below the thousand mark!:D
Will update my sig when it clears.

Gah! Blimmin interest has come out (always forget it!:rolleyes: )
Plus I need to buy dog food tomorrow, and Dads Asbach has been delivered, so will need to pick that up!

Oh well :rolleyes:

Money transfer has now gone thru! So thats £745 paid off my credit card

Also I have contacted friend 2, and she is still waiting for the loan to go thru, she has said thou that she will give me £60 before the end of the month, and the remaining £140 before xmas.

Still nothing from 'friend' 1 :rolleyes:

Hey all, had a rough couple of days, couldn't get any sleep yesterday, was tossing and turning all night. Then got into work and my back started twingeing. My collegue reckons I've got a trapped nerve, coming up to the end of my shift the pain was so bad I was starting to feel sick so I left early. Last night I woke up at 4am with horrendous heartburn, and felt like I was going to throw up, couldn't get back to sleep til about 9am (I rang into work sick).
I feel like I want to throw up but I've not eaten very much in the last couple of days, I've not been feeling hungry at all. Yesterday I had a bowl of porridge about 5pm, which I had to force down, and some toast before I went to bed.
All I've had today is poached eggs on toast.
Feeling a little better today, although back is still twitching.

Also I've noticed Shadow had a little spot on her back, last night it was oozing yellowy-green goo. I have to take her to vets soon for frontline & working tablets, so will get her checked out.
At least I've now got some emergency money on my credit card

Ooh, and, all my pages are back, and I've got my 3rd star!

Back needs doctor really, but for pain treatment temporarily you might ask a chemist for paracetamol and codeine tablets, 16 or 32 pack. Cheap and effective for pain that standard solutions can't handle. But with addiction risk if use is long term (but not for short term anti-pain use). Also add orange juice or supplement to your diet to counter the common side effect of constipation.

Just thrown up, and I feel much better now, although the MSE in me can't help grumbling over the wasted chicken that's now been flushed away!! :rotfl::rotfl:

Still can't sleep thou.

x_raphael_xx

Well, went to the doctors today, she reckons it might be an infection or constipation.:o She wants me to bring in a urine sample tomorrow, and to take laxatives tonight!
Got back from chemist to find I've got a flat tyre! Grrr :mad: why's it always me?!

I've managed to eat some chicken soup, and so far it's kept down. Still getting sharp pains across my stomach.


Pondering wether to call in sick tomorrow, I did extra shifts last week so I think I can manage, I just won't be able to stick anything else on the credit card.

x_raphael_xx

Feeling a lot better today, although I did take the day off work, no sharp shooting pains in my stomach, just a bit of cramp.

Doc says all my samples are ok, and to keep taking the laxatives, which seemed to have worked. I've kept very close to a toilet all day and I'm very afraid to fart!:rotfl:

Got my tyre replaced today, thought it was best to get it replaced as soon as possible, rather than waiting for it to deflate further. Tyre and service came to £46.49, could have been worse I suppose.

I had a slight 'debt free' feeling when I paid, as although it came off my credit card, it felt good to be able to hand over my card without worrying how close to the balance I was. My credit card has now gone back up to £1000, but I still have £700 credit on it.:D
I know when I'm finally debt free this feeling will be ten-fold.
