    Hi Impomdasp...thanks for popping in...it's always nice to get replies....it's scared me to death as well!!!
    It's nice to see you have joined in a challenge..they are very good for motivation and wish you luck as well.Baby steps that's me with housework at the moment...we all have to do everything at different paces and not overwhelm ourselves too much as that can be negative.
    Thankyou for reading my diary.

    Hi Taxi, sorry to read that you are feeling a little low today. The crap weather doesn't help does it!

    Regarding the challenge, I think I may need to join in to replace the olympic challenge which is coming to an end.....off to find the thread now!

    Hi everyone..hope you are all well...
    I've not been around this week-end as I had my little grandson for the week-end and he's been a little angel even though he's really worn me out.
    Also got a new printer and had a real problem sorting it out but it's all up and running now...
    So for today I'm going to rest now and hope to have my accounts done by next monday at the latest..

    Hi everyone just popped in to say hello......
    I'm a bit fed up this week....well I found a tax bill that needed paying by the end of july and me being dippy have sent the cheque off ....I thought it was july now....stupid or what!!!...so that's £500 down...then the taxi is in for servicing and something needing fixing(can't remember what it's called)...approx £200!!!....and then...top this....DH has decided he is tired and wants an extra day off per week as he doesn't have time/energy to do what he wants to do.....so that's another at least £100 p/w short!!!
    Can't blame him but he does know the situation and said the bills will have to take care of themselves!!!
    I guess I'll have to get really creative to re-coup that much per month as I can't go to work yet!!!
    Ah ..well rant over ...sorry

    Hi taxi! Sorry not to have been about for a while but sorry to hear you're feeling down. You can do it though - you're so positive and savvy you'll weather the blip.

    Hi Minnie ..thanks for that...I know I'll weather it but he doesn't half pick the wrong time to throw his dummy out...I won this week as I asked him to work this week and then he can have the extra day off from next week...
    I'll just have to pay what I can until I go back to work

    Big hug taxi. There seem to be a lot of people irritated by OHs on here today! Maybe the moon's gone wacky or something.

    Don't worry about making reduced payments for now - I've had to really pull back on my debt repayments of late for various reasons, but hopefully I'm back on track (or will be after payday). It's annoying because I was doing so well so I know how you feel. But hey ho, we'll all fight another day. Every onwards, hey sweetie?
