    Hugs Buffy, I know how you feel. You've got so much going for you though you really should be out there enjoying life. How about breaking it down into small steps? Or identifying each problem and trying to work a way around it? Sorry if that sounds trite.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

  • Pooky, I can work around my existing job as it is very flexible and I have a lovely boss.
    I have started looking on the retail sites ready for Christmas staff etc.
    I do surveys which helps a lot with presents - got vouchers for both DD's birthdays from surveys and shopping monitor.
    I am giving up my Brownies etc at the end of the year to clear more time.

    Bookie, if you're interested in the ebay thing then people on the ebay board here will be able to help you out on how to make a profit. There's someone on the NTN thread (3Dogs) who makes money from buying at auctions and car boots and reselling at car boots and ebay.

    Gemmzie, I hope they sold for something at least fairly reasonable.

    I'm back from the doctors, my ecg was fine, my blood pressure's fine, but I need routine blood tests. Why they couldn't do it at the same time as my ecg I don't know. It's appointments like that though that make me lose motivation to lose weight - it's obviously not affecting my body. But I have to keep reminding myself that it's not affecting it *yet* and soon will.

    Went to get my prescriptions and there were people handing out free bottles of Liptons Iced Tea, I can't stand it but my sister loves it so she can have it. Funnily enough I nearly ordered her some last night on my Sainsbury's shop for the weekend.

    They went for £75 each :( You live and learn, it's just gutting because that comes out of our house money now

    I hope you see the effects you want soon Ames

    Gemz - Turn your negative thoughts on the tickets into positive ones.

    At least you managed to get something back on them and the money you would have spent whilst there can go into your house pot.

    PMA all the way. :D
