hi, just a quick one this evening but wanted to pop on to see how you were, I'm so glad you have posted and that today's diary entry is so positive given the circumstances!

And good for you on the sniffling! I am trying really hard at the mo as I need to let go myself re. a couple of things but just can't yet. I know the tears will well and truly come, just got back from my counselling this evening and we talked a lot about lots of things so didn't really get to cover the lack of tears in much detail. I know I am holding back.

It can be really hard for others to know what to do at times of emotional outburst but hope you aren't blaming yourself or taking it personally. I'm sure they care very much for you.

Oh - and by the way, I was clearing through some old House and Garden magazines and came across an article on a company doing old fashioned typography - they are called SORT which stands for the Society of Revisionist Typographers (!). I have to say i have no idea what this means (can guess though!) but their website is https://www.sortdesign.com - their stuff looks amazing/v quirky and I thought of you when I read the article. I still have it so if you would like it, I can pop it in the post. I may be on a distinctly wrong tangent, if so I apologise!

Tuesday 08.02.11

Hi again!

Well, made it in again - not quite with a spring in my step but its a beautiful, almost spring-like morning. The sun is so bright it's so uplifiting. The 6music breakfast show has been good with the tunes this morning, so that's helped.

Apart from that my day started rather weirdly! I had such weird dreams last night and in my dreams I was dreaming and had to keep waking myself up in my dream and also in reality! I was about 15 or 16 again and kind of all my dreams were coming true (well a 16 year olds dreams are a lot different to a 42 year olds) but it was great feeling being that age again!

So when I pulled myself out of bed I shook the quilt to make the bed and sent my full glass of oj flying. So my side of the bedroom ended up a sticky orange mess. Phone, charger, magazines, laptop, extension leads, floorboards, chest of drawers, box of tissues. A big sticky mess! Now completely cleaned and sparkling again!

Oh well, the day must go on!

So I have made it into work, that is after there were disruptions on the metro system.

I am not taking any notice of the bad things so far but relishing the thoughts of being 16 again and everything I want out of life coming to me.

I met up with my friend last night and we went on a 3 mile stomp for about 50 minutes to start off another attempt at an exercise regime. We are meeting again on Wednesday to do it all again. This made me feel so much better than I have felt for ages and not really the exercise side of it and the endorphins etc. No, this was because I felt that I have been included again in something. This is the friend I feel is excluding me from so many things and has been a bit secretive and untruthful. But I have realised that shutting myself away and not being the usual, organising, upbeat 'me' (ie drastically changing) people are going to change also and not want me to be part of things. It's going to be hard to get back to normal but at this moment I am feeling quite positive again about it all.

I have instigated a 'photography' meet on Saturday and it looks like i will at least have some company when we go out and practice with our shiny new dslr cameras. I love it when we meet up and talk about stuff and ideas and try different things on the cameras. One of our friends is self taught and a great teacher. His 16 year old daughter is a brilliant photographer and it's great to have someone so young who enjoys the company of the 'oldies' and will come out with us whenever she can.

12.30

I have arranged a meeting with HR re: my concerns about my back, the travelling and the fact that my manager did not record the issues that I raised and the request of recording it. (Good job I write everything down)

So Monday morning I will be discussing all the recent issues and goodness only knows where this will lead. Probably an uncomfortable office environment (a bit like now really!)

Just realised I have been very sloppy with my NSDs so tomorrow I will be attempting and maybe Thursday.

Thanks so much for popping over! Yeah, it's all swings and roundabouts at the moment! Feeling okay today, been for another walk (no, I mean stomp!) after work helped along by some great old Leftfield tunes which are really good to exercise/stomp to!

And good for you on the sniffling! I am trying really hard at the mo as I need to let go myself re. a couple of things but just can't yet. I know the tears will well and truly come, just got back from my counselling this evening and we talked a lot about lots of things so didn't really get to cover the lack of tears in much detail. I know I am holding back.

Do you find that you can go into your counselling session with all the intentions of talking or asking about something in particular (because that's what is taking priority in your head) but then it turns into something completely different and turns another direction. Instead of leaving feeling that you haven't sorted out what you wanted to sort but still feel like you have achieved more than you expected? I hope you are going to be able to 'let it all out' soon because you are right, it does make you feel better. Just allowing yourself to let go and cry as much as you want to.

It can be really hard for others to know what to do at times of emotional outburst but hope you aren't blaming yourself or taking it personally. I'm sure they care very much for you.

I think they are just getting a bit weary of me being like this on a regular basis but my days when I can cope occur lots more than my non-coping days. So hopefully I will be not making such a fool of myself too much in the future! Today a good friend of mine asked about the counselling and said that she thinks its made such a massive difference to me and my personality and my outlook. That meant such a lot to me and made my morning a lot nicer.

Oh - and by the way, I was clearing through some old House and Garden magazines and came across an article on a company doing old fashioned typography - they are called SORT which stands for the Society of Revisionist Typographers (!). I have to say i have no idea what this means (can guess though!) but their website is www.sortdesign.com - their stuff looks amazing/v quirky and I thought of you when I read the article. I still have it so if you would like it, I can pop it in the post. I may be on a distinctly wrong tangent, if so I apologise!

I have had a look at their website and I love it! Ooh I would love to do something as traditional and stunning as their work! I could do it on my mac. Ooh one day eh? Dont worry about sending the magazine if you want to keep it (if you are anything like me!!) If you just want to photocopy the pages or scan them that would be just as good. Thank you so much for that. It's so very thoughtful of you.

Great news about your trip to Italy! Would you be taking your harp with you? We all need something to look forward to all of the time. I have marked all of my days off and holidays on the office planner. Just so I can see exactly what I am working for. March looked a bit bare so after my awful trip last Thursday I made almost a full day up in flexi so I have put a days holiday on 17 March because I am going to see Primal Scream again on the 16 March and fancy letting my hair down a bit! It is good to see what we are working for.

MAC counter/gift card sounds fab - enjoy!

Haven't yet been but will def be booking one of those makeovers and get my foundation following that. I am also so tempted with a primer (can't remember which one) but I had a little tester pot and I thought it made a difference to my skin but don't really know about a difference to the actual makeup!

Hi diary, a very quick little message because I am so tired and typing on my phone isn't my favourite way of communication!

Day been fine - well non-eventful anyway.

Made a valentines gift for the Baldy. Just going to get a card made up for him next.

Failed miserably with my NSd. Bought hot cross buns (therefore healthy eating out the winda too!) and photography mag ( got to find good subscription deal)

Proper update tomorrow.

Hey DE, hope you are ok. I'm glad you've got in touch with HR about your boss, his actions are inexcusable, so it needs to be sorted.

Hi Diary

Another bright sunny (dare I say 'spring-like') morning here in lovely old Newcastle!

Ooh I wish I was out and about with my camera today, perfect conditions!

We are going to a photographic jaunt around Jarrow on Saturday though, so hopefully the day will be bright, at least for a little while! Going to go to Bede's Monastery, Jarrow Hall (weather permitting) and along to the lush old tiled Pedestrian Tunnel. Complete with wooden escalators. Love it!!!

So enough of wishing my life away and let's get to grips with reality.

Considering this is my 'debt-free diary' I think I should concentrate more on trying to bust the goddam debt and less on my work whingeing and my state of health.

So, lets have a look eh?

Since 2011 kicked in, my debt busting is going okay although there is massive room for improvement.

My ebay is looking cool just now and I am managing to make £5 a day just though the ebay sales but I really really want to step that up a bit. I wish I could think of something that I could sell then tell my indecisive boss to ehm.... well I think you know where that would be going!!

Also my total of NSD are shocking. I am not going out and spending a lot but little treats like coffee (although at 99p its not that much really but it is a spend) hot cross buns (again only £1 (for 12 at tesco! but lovely for my breakfast!). All of these little things do add up. I have only achieved 9 NSD since Jan 1 so that is 9/41 days. So I think that my usual Friday breakfast treat will be cancelled for this week to see if I can manage to make it 10/42 - double figures - now that is a bit of a boost!

If I am working in the office my NSD can be much easier than when I have to go out and about. So I think I should try and make every office day a NSD for a month anyway, apart from the Friday treat (breakfast from pret or cocktail apres work!) which I will attempt to make less than a £5 spend.

Good news though, I have had notification of another £4 in my paypal to pay for another sold item!

Ooh almost forgot to mention - I ceremoniously shredded all old credit card statements (the bad ones that I accrued all of my stupid debt with) along with the excellent feeling of cutting up the cards and dumping them. I have had these stored and hidden under my work desk for months and I have kept putting it off. Yay!! Out with the old and all that! I had a great time, rid rid ridding my room of nastiness!

Tonight I think I will make a note of how many picture frames I need and how may picture hooks and find out how I can print my photoshop jpgs from the photo print machines you find everywhere these days.

I am deliberately omitting, from my diary, most of my negative feelings (work etc) to see how it effects my day - so far so good but sitting opposite the boss doesn't help! Dunno what can be resolved by telling HR but we shall give it a try. Can't wait for Monday and Tuesday next week when he's not here!

hi!

had to post as your FSOL Papua New Guinea comment has just given me the most humongous blast back to I don't know how long ago!

I know I had one of their albums somewhere but will have to get some more. I love Aphex Twin as well, and have been meaning to upgrade some of my tapes (holy cow!!!!) to CDs for years!

LOVE it, thank you for reminding me!

your photography trip sounds brilliant I hope you have a fab time.

drop me a PM with your email address and I will scan in that article for you :j almost the weekend, yay!! :j I love the sound of your Friday morning breakfasts. I am off for pub lunch with the people from my office tomorrow. I am lucky, they are lovely and after 2 days a week working from home, I am always a bit giddy on a Friday :rotfl:

6music's fault! I love that tune as well. Massive brilliant memories of good time's past!

I have a couple of their albums - ISDN & Dead Cities. Unfortunately Dead Cities actually makes me feel nauseous when I listen to it!! But I will not get rid of any of my music. I have vinyl that I started buying in 1981, hundreds upon hundreds of 12" and LPs. Then CD's - again, hundreds upon hundreds of them! Got a few Aphex Twin singles but no albums. Got to love the bleeps!

LOVE it, thank you for reminding me!

It's all 6music's fault!

your photography trip sounds brilliant I hope you have a fab time.

Yeah, I am from Jarrow and it's steeped in history and interesting little places. A bit morbid, I know, but I love to go for a walk through our big old cemetery which is situated on a small hill outside of the town centre and take photos there!

drop me a PM with your email address and I will scan in that article for you almost the weekend, yay!! I love the sound of your Friday morning breakfasts.

Will do, oooh very much appreciated!! I have had a quick look on the website, I think I mentioned in an earlier post and it inspired me, along with some pictures that are available on another website (which are quite expensive) to create the Valentine gift for Baldy! Immediate effect!! That's what I like! I am so pleased with the picture as well, just hope he likes it! ooh enjoy your lunch - I wish there was someone here who would enjoy going out at dinnertime or even for a quick drink after work - that's what I am used to! Not this segregation and not even speaking during the day - flippin awful environment to work in. But that's what I have signed up for haven't I???

Yay!! Friday at last.

Not the blinding sunshine from yesterday but wet and miserable - that's the weather not me!!

Ooh well, on the money making front - NOWT (edit: I have just checked my ebay and another 7.86 to add!!)

On the money saving front - NSD so far but I have been tempted to go and meet Baldy after work as he has to head into town for a few bits and pieces so I AM GOING FOR A PINT. Just to celebrate the end of another week. So can I count that as a NSD but failed on a NSN (no spend night!!!) I know - that's cheating!
The work situation has been rather interesting for two whole days. Yesterday I was told that the training that is to be done will be trialled locally then we can decide on the travelling! Then today, it has been decided by higher up the management chain that we can recruit another member of staff!! Yay!!

Unbelievable how the work environment has been rather 'spikey' all week to then some of his comments making life a little easier on my side then a massive boost of 'we can get extra staff'?? Me is suspicious!! I think maybe someone has either been reading my diary again or someone from HR has 'leaked' the information that I have a meeting with them to express my concerns!

The plot thickens.

Anyway I don't give two hoots at the moment. I have a nice chilled weekend ahead and then two days when I am working alone in the office. Therefore tons done, radio on, smile on me face - jobsagoodun!!

On a definite non-money saving topic - I have just found out that the Primal Scream gig in Newcastle in March is only gone and sold out! How shocked am I? I have seen them dozens of times and I am sure that the last few times at Newcastle they weren't sold out so I have been well and truly caught out there. Will have to try a tout or I have already placed an ad on Scarlet Mist website for any sales. Grrrrr. Oh well, got a month to find one then, I am sure I will do it!

Morning diary and all!!

10.30am

Monday morning again, already.

Had a good weekend, spent my pocket money only and I am still scared to check my bank accounts.

I can't believe that I am so skint and I have two weeks to payday, I have a hair appointment on Friday and we are going away for my friend's 40th, on Friday for the weekend.

I am expecting miracles for my ebay and that's not going to happen is it?

I really am scared to check the accounts but I will do later on after I have returned from my counselling session because I would prefer to go into the session with nothing to spoil my mood. Although the dread of checking the accounts could just do that!

I have been making some little pictures using unusual fonts that I have been playing with. Inspiration words and ideas that I love. I have made Baldy a little Valentines gift of one of these pictures, just hope he likes it. If he doesn't appreciate it I will hang it in my little room. Found some frames that are okay with two lots of mounting board and that makes such a difference. I have tried cutting the board myself but it's so time consuming that for the cost of the frames it's not really worth it. The frames are only plain matt plastic and would be so much nicer if wooden but they will do. I wonder if they would sell on ebay? (I really do sound desparate don't i?)

Must remember to cancel my direct debits for my credit cards this week. I have been paying a fixed amount each month but really should have been adjusting it according to my snowball. So to be on the safe side I will ensure there's a direct debit of the minimum payment set up and I will pay the difference each month. I think I will play around with the snowball today as well to motivate me further. I will see how long my DFD will be if I manage to get 0% balance transfers all the way!! The snowball is currently taking into consideration if I stay with my current providers once the 0% period is over. But no chance!!

At least I have managed a couple of NSD to boost my figures there but I don't think I will be able to manage my PAD for the rest of the month.

Blimey it just doesn't get any easier does it. Not even able to put away £1 a day for PAD. This is where I get so annoyed with myself. 42 years of age and still screwing up my money so I still can't make it last the month.

I think I will have to try a spending diary (as well as everything else). The thing is, I haven't bought anything for myself this month nor wasted any money. I know it is all going onto my debt busting but it's so bl***y difficult.

I know that I just have to get this weekend out of the way and then it's payday a week on Friday so it's not that long (when you look at it like that but when you think it's actually only halfway through the month.....) but it's so frustrating.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaghhhhhhhhhhh!!!!
Just had a meeting with someone from HR. Can't say I am inspired to continue with anything. She was very nice, I can't say she was understanding of my frustrations and she did show a little sign of shock when she mentioned that at least I didn't want to leave and I said that I did! Her advice was to sit with my manager and put all of my concerns on the table. To be open with him. If I want someone with me for support then ask someone. Lay my cards on the table.
Isn't that what I tried to do last Friday when he upset me so much?
Maybe a witness would be the way forward but I can't see him being happy with that.

Oh well. It's not good is it?

A waste of half an hour of my time and her time.

Right I am off to see the counsellor. Fingers crossed for a decent session.

14.45

Just finishing me dinner break, got mixed feelings about me counselling session but not going to dwell on it.

Reviewed my snowball and direct debits from both the c/cards. Also just checked the bank and its not good but not going to dwell on that either. Nothing is too bad that it can't be mended. Actually I managed to get one week of PAD from my last £20 in the bank!
Going to look forward to the rest of the day and worry about tomorrow when it comes.

Hi diary,

09.30

Day 2 of a nice short week (next week is a nice short week too!) and I am in the office on my own again - which is GREAT!!
Got a nasty pile of paperwork that needs sorting, emails that need archiving, new emails that need actioned, one report to complete - all today - I hope!

So I think I will be adapting my usual 15 minute bursts into 30 minute bursts to allow me to nibble away at all of them.
I had a lovely night last night with the Baldy! Nothing fancypants but a nice curry in a lovely Indian restaurant where we sometimes visit. Then back home and he just HAD to watch the football which give me motivation to do NOWT! So I sat on our bed, watching the telly and playing with a Spirograph-type set that I bought from ebay last week. Its so very therapeutic. Love just sitting and making simple patterns. I have my eye on a real original spirograph set on ebay which I might just treat myself to! Naughty naughty! I know I don't need it but its going to be a very cheap treat and it will keep me occupied for hours!!! hahahahahaha!

Baldy loved his picture that I made him, it's now taking pride of place on our mantlepiece. I have got to admit I am very pleased with it and it makes it so much more special for me that he likes it too.

I have noticed in my email 'inbox' that I have received something from little_h! Yippee!! Even more inspiration - love it! Thanks lovely lady!!! (I will open and print it out at dinnertime when I can justify opening and checking my hotmail).

Oooh something exciting happening, in fact there's two!! Firstly, our office is having a 'climbing Everest' challenge and it's how many stairs/steps we climb as a group so I have offered my 'steps' for that one. Well I thought I am trying to climb the stairs at least three times a day now so these steps may as well do some good!! Also (even more exciting) there was an email sent around yesterday asking for volunteers for Red Nose Night (our premises are apparently used for the charity for that evening) and I have been accepted! I have no idea what they will want me to do but I am soooooo excited!!!

Right, had the breakfast, sorted my desk and now ready to get cracking.

Until later today..........

15.30
I have actually managed to succeed in ticking off all of my list for today - well almost - everything done except I am still working on the H&S Inspection Report and that might get finished tonight but am awaiting further information from a manager to complete it fully.

I am feeling quite good at the moment, I managed to sort out my recent post and paperwork including bank statements, c/card statements, car tax and insurance so just have to file away when i get home tonight. So along with that little job, I will be going for a nice brisk walk (about 2-3 miles) then home, tea, filing then ironing then bed for about 10pm methinks.

So Coldplay have confirmed for Saturday night at Glastonbury then have they? And apparently Beyonce for the Friday night. Well I think I know where I'LL NOT BE on both of them nights! Although Coldplay are a brilliant live band but there will be far too many alternatives to witness and I am hoping that the Other Stage headliners are going to be Primal Scream, Chemical Brothers (probs Sunday night) and Underworld (my username, dirtyepic, is my favourite Underworld tune of all time). These have not been announced (I have just made it up!) but I do like to have a guess each year for the Other Stage.

It's only 127 sleeps till we leave. Yippee! I know its absolutely flying by but once it gets to 100 sleeps its all systems go for organising things!! I LOVE IT!!

You will see a different Dirtyepic in the run up to Glastonbury Festival (I get a bit full-on and have been known to get too excited and do people's heads in a bit!!)

I have to do the staircase walk one more time today then forward my steps total to the human pedometer to add to our running (or not, as the case may be) totals.

I lead such an exciting life don't I? Rock and flippin roll!
