  • I have to do dinner as well as a present and so £100 is a rough budget. Remember Mum and the family have only the vaguest idea about the debts. No clue as to how big they were.

    I have had a ROTTEN afternoon. Feel sick and have a tummy ache. !!!!ing period pains are so bad today. done a tiny bit of sorting but cannot get comfortable and am worrying about throwing up over my marking (aren't you glad you are reading this!!!)

    sorry for the over share. think I will go back to the sofa and groaning.

  • Right well, after feeling like !!!!! yesterday I spent most of today feeling like !!!!! although I am much better now, not been sick at all today. Having a little moment before I scare myself with the marking................need socks and shoes a la Fylady. Dinner wasn't great after the yuckines of yesterday I didn't really fancy beans, mashed potato and funny sausage thing.

    And a plan.

    Its awful not even within a month of being debt free and already dreaming about savings etc..........!!!

    off to make a hugely complicated list which I may or may not ignore who knows....................

    I am seriously tired. This bloke on bang goes the theory is nuts. I always wanted to go all the way round on my swing. Mum did freak out and tell me I might die, who knew she was right! (so far all his tests have ended with hitting heads/legs)

    really going now. lets face it I am off in search chocolate....................

  • I am watching a programme about people who have lost their jobs, God it is hard to watch. People are fighting so hard to hang on to their dignity. This man who was a journalist has just broken my heart. And their children, bless them they know exactly what is going on. Now there is a guy who is getting the helpful phone calls from the banks..............and the fella and his wife at (not) Ford - company gone bust, no pension, no redundancy. !!!!!!. 20 years.

    Honestly if you are reading this and have lost your job I am right behind you wishing and hoping for a new job. I don't know what people will do. Life is very hard.


    night all

  • Times are hard and I am thankful for every penny I get in.

    Even if they did know about the debt that is still a silly amount for a birthday, my mum would do her nut if I spent that much :eek:.

    Not long now until easter break :D

    I think how it is in the UK at the moment is pretty scary. OH is lucky in that as he works in computers, there will always be a job for him somewhere, but for others I think that is why so many people are desparately trying to pay off debt.

    There is so much uncertainty now. It used to be that you knew kinda that the axe would fall on traditional industries, but now the axe can fally anywhere. Not a great way to live.

    Hope the issues at your work have at least calmed down. I doubty they will ever be sorted.

    And I could have sworn I told you to go to the dr but can't find the post. So go to the dr it is not right that every month you suffer so much around totm. There are drugs for this!

    I want a job that is less than an hour driving away from my house! Are you listening universe?
