Buffy's Adventures at the Post Office......

Buffythedebtslayer

The plan for today is breakfast, face mask bath or shower then paperwork!
Its great cos I don't actually "have" to do anything!
I need to have a filling system for the post and for school work. I have one half worked out but also need to move furniture round for it work (don't ask!) and have a sore throat (again!) so I may just do the sorting and see how it goes.

Its funny, no Christmas wasn't great but i am so used to it being like that I don't feel so bad about it - a feeling of overwhelming relief that it is over is all that is left.

Next year, cos I will be driving I will be able to get out and go a visiting so will do that for starters and see if I can't wangle an invite somewhere for me and Mum or invite people here (although here is quite small!) on Boxing day.

best get on with something

I have wasted today too - and loved it :j

beanielou

You are allowed to have a wasted day.
Baby steps.
Keep plodding!

Buffythedebtslayer

doing nothing is SO boring.

I watched 6 hours of 24, ate more turkey and crackers for lunch and dinner.

Didn't sort any files.

its 1 in the morning and I am not hugely tired. just restless. running figures round in my head. wondering if I can pay the CC off. its 1060 which is far higher then I thought, not massively surprised. been putting dinner out on it as well as all the Christmas shopping plus the left over of the fence/cooker malarky.

hmmmm. any how I reckon if I clear all my little savings accounts that i have as pots for birthdays and the like plus my Dec loan over payment I should be able to rustle up about 832..........plus the 90 pound refund 922. which means I would like to find 138 from some where.

January is going to be tight but also quiet. work will be tough too. so cheap nights out and no spending.

I would love that CC to be cleared by the end of Jan. I really would.

Great if you can do it but don't over stretch yourself. If you are needing to put your social life on CC then maybe your budget is not flexible enough?

Buffythedebtslayer

My budget would be fine if I didn't get a little tipsy use the cc, promising myself to pay it off then forget all about it! Then wonder why there is "so much" money in my current account! and of course spend it!

Really if I was a bit more organised the whole CC thing would have never happened, that is why it is bugging me so much!

Today I voluntarily had muesli for breakfast so clearly the whole eating rubbish thing has go to me! I don't imagine it will last but it wasn't too bad.

List

1. Guinea pigs
2. move work stuff down stairs
3. move furniture around so I can use my desk.

If I do that I will make a new list.

Buffythedebtslayer
