    :(Hi Guys

    Well I'm feeling a lot better today, but who knows what tomorrow brings lol.

    I have had confirmation that I will be changing jobs in a fortnight so things are looking up at work. I think it is the best decision and move for me at the moment.

    I was watching an American program last night to do with lottery winners. Oh how I dream about winning the lottery lol. Its a roll over weekend this week so maybe a pound on a lucky dip. Got to be in it to win it :)

    I have sorted some of my bills out so I will update all this weekend and I have sold quite a bit on ebay but with me being a new buyer on there paypal are holding all of my money for a certain amount of time :( I have nearly £200 in there so I guess its good for a rainy day. Its my birthday in a couple of weeks so I might treat myself to a little something :)

    I have a bit of a busy day tomorrow but plan to have a relaxing one on Sunday so will catch up then.

    Take care.

    Hello Lil,

    That's great to see that you're feeling better and that your job move is imminent. That must be quite exciting for you right now?

    Congratulations on the ebay sales. That's a nice little pot you have waiting for you when they allow it to be released. Ebay tend to look after the buyers far more than their sellers so I guess they're holding it in case of any issues and subsequent payment claims? But it's not losing anything while it's there, so having £200 just waiting to hit your account must feel great.

    I hope you managed some time to relax yesterday and are feeling fit and ready for anything again! :D

  • Hi Guys

    Thanks for the PM's, I have taken a lot of it onboard and it is sorted now but I am very upset. I can't believe how quick men move on.

    I must admit to having a bit of a slip on the debt busting this weekend. Minimum payments only and a very heavy night on Saturday :( This will not be happening again. I do tend to spend more money when I am unhappy but that makes me even more unhappy when I realise that I could have done better.

    That's it now though. It's me and DD and my debts. No one else can help me sort it apart from you lovely guys with your support. Plus its my birthday next week so I need to be on top form for that!!

    I am spending this weekend at home so will get on with the e-bay items I have found. I don't have anything listed at the moment :(

    Right onwards and upwards and looking forward to MT's party :beer::beer: 31st July is a Tuesday so hope we are all on-line at the same time!!

    No more moaning from me anymore. He couldn't hurt me anymore if he tried. I need to put myself and DD first and forget all about him. Loser!!!!

    Take care all and thanks again for being here.

    Lil

    Well done Lil:beer:

    You're totally right, you just need to look after you and your DD and if a man can fit in with that, then thats fine. If not... He's not worth your time :)

    We all go a bit spendy spendy when we're down but you've already picked yourself up and moved on so just concentrate on doing the overpayments next time!

    Your birthday next week! Exciting!!! Do you have any nice plans???

    :jOnwards and upwards!

    Hi LG

    You're so right!! :)

    I'm going to a concert on Saturday with DD which we have been waiting for since Christmas and then she told me today that she wants to take me out the day after my birthday (shes only 11) bless her. She is a saver and has quite a lot tucked away so I think we are going to the pics on Wednesday. Good old Orange so she will only have to pay for one ticket :rotfl:

    Good times ahead, hopefully. Yeahhh me :T:T

    Take care.

    What a diamond!!! I love that at 11 she's already a saver, you must have taught her well. I hope to teach my kids (one day...) to be the same :)

    Enjoy!!!

  • Hi Guys

    Feeling great today. Just want to thank you all for your support :)

    I've had my first invoice from e-bay :( They will be taking money from me at the end of the month. At least my problem with my first buyer is sorted.

    I have a busy couple of days coming up so hopefully Sunday will be an e-bay day and sorting out my outstanding debts. I need to get things uploaded on e-bay so that I can make some over payments and clear some room where it is all piling up :)

    Take care.

    Hello Lil,

    That's lovely to hear you're feeling great today! You handled everything in such a great way!

    I've had an email that it's free listing this weekend! So that's a little incentive for me too as I have a fair few bits to put up again.

    Not long until your birthday now. Let us know what day it is so we can send our best wishes? :D

  • Hi MT

    It's on Tuesday, got to work that day but have managed to get the next day off so all's good.

    Thanks so much for the support you have given me, its nice to know that even people that you don't 'really' know are there for you:)

    I'm still feeling good today so I think I have turned the corner regarding ex OH. Notice the ex now and not on off. I'm definitely getting there :j:j

    I just need to get my head and heart into my debts now and get them all sorted. I know my pay is changing slightly next month so my spreadsheet is sort of guess work at the moment.

    My money has also been released from PayPal so thats another £86.00.

    Looking forward to the concert with DD tomorrow and it looks like it might be a late night so I will update again on Sunday.

    Have a lovely weekend everyone!!

    Take care.

    Lil
