    Evening

    Been a bit quiet over the last few days, had a busy time of it. I went out with the girls on Friday night and didn't spend anything :money:as I was driving they bought me drink (and a burger on the way home) :D

    My date yesterday was lovely, was picked up about 2.30, had a lovely walk and then drink in the village pub. Quick dash back to the car before they closed the carpark, and then a few more drinks in my local. All of a sudden it was 7pm :o. Time kind of whiz's by, which is lovely.

    Ok Money:

    I have £9.30 in my account until payday on tuesday :rotfl:which isn't much but I've paid for everything so nothing left to go out. And I have just transfered £30 from paypal.

    I have a few more sales on Ebay, but didn't get round to listing anything today. Which makes me a bad Pea :p But it means I will have to work double hard to find some lovely things to list next weekend.

    hmmm think that's about it for now.

  • Hmmm can't sleep :(

    Why is it always a Sunday night that things start playing on your mind? honestly what's going on with that :( having one of those money panic's again. i know it will all be ok in the morning, but that doesn't help now.

    i hate being tired everything always looks so bad. and I've had such a great weekend. ok i need to try and chill out and get some rest, hopefully then the sleep will come

    Evening

    Sorry I've been away so long, just kind of got wrapped up in things :o.

    Mr IT and I are getting along really well, Orange Weds last week and then dinner (he's treat) and then off to the south coast on Saturday, which was lovely. Even if it did take us over 3 hours to get back because of the snow :eek:.

    Money is FAR more of an issue at the moment though, I've decided to take the big step and tomorrow I'm making an appointment with the bank to see if they can help me. I know they don't have to, but would rather approach them first and see if there is something that can be done, before I think about going down the CCCS route.

    But bascially unless I do something sharpest, getting to the end of the month without running out of money is going to be an issue :eek::(. I just hate it all so much, I know I only have myself to blame, but can't believe I've let things get to this state.

    But I guess sometimes you are forced to this position before you are able to deal with it. So wish me luck, obviously I'll update everyone when I can

    Thanks I was just reading one of there little online leaflet things and it basically said, the sooner you come to us the sooner we can try and help.

    So hopefully it won't be too scary

    It’s not worth doing something unless someone, somewhere, would much rather you weren’t doing it.

    Good luck with the bank Pea, I recently spoke to mine and they were really helpful and were really pleased that I was being proactive.
