Thank you

I am absolutely exhausted this morning, haven't been sleeping well so that hasn't helped.

I'm really achey too, so all that bending and lifting yesterday must have done me some good

Hope you had a nice weekend PG

Thankyou , it was lovely but hectic, but aren't they always ?!!

A nice hot soak in the bath with a lovely book could be what the doctor ordered later for your achey bones !:D

Wow, I am shattered now *yawn*

It's been a long day. We took almost £100 this morning, so that's all good :T Mr Dog was getting huge amounts of attention and loving it. I was going to start charging for petting, I think we could have paid off our mortgage if I had

Wow, well done, Jwil, excellent stuff. :T

I had quite a nice lazy afternoon to myself as DH went out. Sat in the sun for an hour or so with a book , did a few dishes and made another snowglobe :T

You've had a very busy and productive weekend, Jwil, you thoroughly deserve your bit of relaxation reading in the sun.

Hi Jwil

Delighted to hear you got rid of that microwave and that you made £100:):) You are doing very well.

Sorry to hear that you are feeling sore today. Boot sales certainly burn up the calories. Didn't list anything over the weekend at all but am going to get some done today. Put a few things on Amazonia but no sales.

Thanks everyone

Going to try and stay away from the computer too much in the evenings this week, I have got into the habit of spending hours just messing around. I will try and ban myself after 7pm. Hopefully that means I will be able to get some more done, but also relax a bit more.

Have you tried using Leechblock? If you use Firefox, it can be downloaded (for free) as an add-on. I think it works with other browsers as well.

You can set Leechblock so that it doesn't allow you to access certain sites at certain times. So you could set it to stop you accessing MSE/other sites after 7pm, for example.

You can also use it to set certain time limits - so a max of say 15 minutes on a certain site, for example.

There are ways around Leechblock once it's set up if needed (especially if you have every browser going on on your computer :whistle:) but it's a very useful tool all the same.

Thank you! I shall try and self-ban But shall bear this in mind should I need to.

Morning everyone

I managed to pretty much stay off the computer last night, bar a few minutes helping out DH :T

I still didn't sleep well though, so am still shattered today.

I have managed to make a nice PAD today and as tomorrow is payday will be able to hit the 2k barrier. It's just a shame that the debt isn't reducing by that much

Hope everyone has a good day

Hey jwil,

Hope you get a better nights sleep tonight though i must admit i had a terrible nights sleep / rest and was up at a silly time

Well done on your pad too :T Is it not going down as much due to it being a loan i.e incurring horrid interest? We will get there jwil x

minii

Well done for the PAD, almost there. Sometimes it seems like tiny baby steps, but it all helps. My PAD today was £2.38... I'm sure I could have done something big with it but every penny helps. Chin up.

Also, on the belated subject of children & dogs... Most children think my dog is Hairy McLairy come to life, they're lucky she's small and gentle because there are a lot of "OH MUMMY LOOK" and them running over to squish her head when we go for walks!

jwil

DDFW - yes it's the dreaded interest I've only got a couple of things now on 0% and no chance of doing a transfer, so my payments don't reduce the balance hugely.

Minii - You are right - those small payments all add up :T It's just frustrating that I put huge amounts into my debts, but they don't go down by that much. I spend a lot of time daydreaming about the day when it will all be mine though

Our dog is only small too (relatively speaking ), lots of people think he's still a puppy even though he's 6. They should teach their children though. Even if it looks cute it can still be a beast!
