They are a great outlet. I use mine just to vent about everything.
The walk sounded like it did Abbie good, which is great. We went for a walk yesterday and that really helped with me as well. 
When will you clear the Barclaycard? I thought you mentioned this Friday but wasn't sure. 
Have a lovely day x

Friday I'll hopefully be taking a big chunk out of it as the college are due to pay me then i'm hoping by next wednesday it'll be cleared as tax credits are due in so I'll just clear it all hopefully then x

I agree. 

People on here know things about me that my closest friends in RL don’t. 

I wish I had a 10th of your energy. Xx

Same here beanie

If I don't keep busy my anxiety will play up and there is plenty of that going round in my house with KK and Abbie

Diaries are a great way to get things off your chest that you wouldn't normally mention to RL friends/family. I think tensions are running high at the moment, everyone is stressed about the virus and some are getting cabin fever. I hope things settle down soon.

morning

Hubby went to work this morning not before making such a racket that I ended up wide awake grrrrrrr he says hes feeling a bit better he's promised me if he gets worse he'll come home, we shall see as recently he's been playing opposites with me so no doubt he'll be stubborn and stay even if hes unwell and makes himself worse.

We are looking to get a new mattress a really good one as ours is 4 years old and its dipping which makes a uncomfy sleep.  I want a travelodge one as I've never had a bad nights sleep when we have stayed at one, they cost £529 which i think is great but hubby has been looking at the Emma, Tempur and Casper mattress and I'm not sure........anyone have these???  Hubby has a sore back and my hips get sore at night but that's the norm for us but I want a decent mattress that will last us.  Again I want what I want and he's not sure, I'm telling you he's playing do the opposite of what I suggest very frustrating so I've told him to pick one and I will roll with whatever he suggests.

Sent £9.36 towards the barclaycard, really hoping the college pay me as they have promised that they would pay for childcare up to the first week of April but we shall see.  If they do another chunk will be gone forever woo hoo.  

All my kids are still sleeping lucky things.  Weather is miserable here not sure what I'm going to do today will have a look at my list and see if i have the notion to do it as still feeling awfully tired yet not tired enough to go back to sleep (tried for about a hour so gave up and came downstairs) will make sure I do a workout today tho as did one last night and felt better for it. 

 Might set up my Avon store and message my customers with the link as I've had a few customers asking if I have any books but Avon have no books just now as they've stopped printing them due to the virus and we aren't meant to be doing doorstep deliveries right now but Avon themselves are delivery direct for online orders so will have a look into that

Hope everyone is staying safe and doing ok xx

I was thinking about the Avon online store yesterday actually, how strange that you have said about it! Thought it would be a good way to get sales without you leaving the house so you don't lose business if people still want to buy products.

Have a lovely day x

well what a numpty I am.......seen I hadn't been paid by the college got myself in a panic and wondered what was going on, checked with other childminders to see if they had got paid which they had, checked my emails only to discover it hadn't sent and it was sitting in my drafts folder.....................!!!!!! so I've sent the blooming email and I'll phone them on Tuesday to find out when I'll be getting paid......my mistake which isn't like me as I normally double check the emails have sent.  Hoping it won't take too long.

So I've sent £208.71 towards the barclaycard I'm still on target to clear it however I won't be able to clear my Halifax straight away.  I'll need to wait until the college pay me for me to clear that.

Abbie's bought a new one well I've paid for it but she's paying me back so she spent £389.99 she's gave me £25 up front she'll be sell her old phone and give me the money straight away and shes asked for a extra shift a week so that extra money will be given to me straight away every week.  This has came out of one of my savings accounts so at least it's not on credit.  

Did my workout today was super super sweaty but I really enjoyed it

I bet you were cross with yourself about the college money. Hopefully you’ll get it soon. 

My Insanity instructor is doing a live You Tube workout on Sunday at 9.30 ish -  I can PM you his link if you fancy giving it a go.

How long does it normally take to be paid after the email? Hopefully the wait isn't too long?
I always look on in awe at your payments. Think how much money you will be able to save when you pay all this off. x

It normally takes about 2 weeks but hopefully they will rush it, they've also informed us the next invoice will be the last invoice so college childcare payments are finishing a month early but as I don't rely on the money as it was going towards the debt it's fine so the final invoice will go towards the holiday savings..............still hoping we will be going as our holiday is August xx

 I think that when hubby lost his job over a year ago and we managed fine on my wages I decided anything extra would go towards the debt..............like you say the quicker i can get it paid off then I can save defo want the mortgage paid off as soon as i can xx
