  • NSD day yesterday, I'm thinking that working ridiculous hours does have it's benefit however it is all about to end, need to get a food shop in for the weekend
    and prep food so that all they have to do is pull it out of the fridge, that way I'll have a hope of staying on track!
    Also needed a bit for my car but having expected to pay £30 was plesently supprised when handed a bill for 3.00, Hurrah!

    Apart from that nothing else to report xx

    Nothing much to report today, was a NSD yesterday but not so today needed to order some food online for those in our house with special dietary needs :cool: so thats another £60 gone but they were doing an offer and I have enough to last until past next pay day so not as bad as could be!!

    Off to extract my money from the ebay sales and work out where it all needs to go!

    Happy spring to all

    Hi BF will be over to your thread to catch up soon
    xx

    So everything is up in the air at the moment financially and so I am finding it hard to post, the spending is on track but everything else seems extra hard to keep up with
    when things have all settled down we will be in a better position but until then things are just a little frustrating

    SO in the mean time another loan payment has gone out and my refund from NPower has finally come through and been paid off a card
    all gong according to plan, I have some more bits to put on e-bay so that will be done tonight, nothing of high value but too good to bin and those small amounts do add up !!

    I WILL be back tomorrow

  • Hi funny :wave:

    It is hard to keep posting especially if you don't feel too good. I know that there is huge gaps in mine where I just couldn't bring myself to put anything down. The times that I did now looking back I feel to have come so far forwards.

    I hope you can find some stuff to ebay. I haven't sold anything for a while on there and instead of doing so when I recently moved house I gave everything to my sister as I was downsizing so that she could use it for a car boot sale. (Pure laziness on my part plus not having the physical energy and not having the space to keep everything until such time that it was decent weather etc). I have two items that I need to list but can't find the time or the inclination at the moment.

    I know that this time will pass and yours will too. Even if you only post every other day,......its your diary to do with as and when you please. Just know that there is always someone there for you and if you want a rant peeps will support you with it....no one should be here to judge afterall its a fine line we all tread....

    So chin up, its a lovely sunny day the nicer weather will be here and everyone starts to feel better then.

    Hugs to you, things can only get better, onwards and upwards
