    Hi there Buffy
    Hope that you are working your way through your to do list.

    Nice one on the guy asking for another date, he must be wanting to meet you then.

    NIce one too about the savings. You will soon have a deposit if you keep that level of savings up. Good on you.

    Hello all

    Haven't been here for a while as in on this diary. not been great. work was awful got slightly better and then a HELL of a lot worse. BUT It is not Skin cancer, which is what one of my friends has been diagnosed with.

    I am really shocked. She isn't much older then me.

    And it is trite but it sure puts things into perspective. To be honest I wasn't thinking about it really work, gym, tutoring in some order each day has kept me busy but tonight I wondered.

    Life really does go by super fast. Got to live it.

    Talking of which am chatting to a nice man on a dating website so I will leave you with a half finished update.

    Hello,

    Not been here in a while.......life has been !!!! basically! Work is grim and everyone is unhappy.

    Mum has been ill. She had a angioplasty yesterday but the doctor she saw there said that the slightly blocked arteries weren't what was causing her breathlessness.

    So we are no closer to solving that. I am so tired. Should have gone to bed early last night. yawn.

    BIL has also been ill weirdly with the same thing Mum has, he was in hospital most of last week. That was not fun at all as Mum insisted on doing everything for my sister in terms of picking up and shopping and stuff. Just adding to the stress all round really.

    Money wise the puppies are being castrated, that will cost about 200 quid. plus I have been overspending. I recognise the signs! I felt this way many years ago now when I broke up with my then bf. spending to feel better to fix stuff. That is roughly speaking where a lot of my debt came from(aside from 4 years at uni when you know I was buying food to eat!!). I am not in debt currently but equally I am barely saving anything. I spent lots last month on clothes and fixing my car. With all the dates (!) I have planned I do genuinely need the clothes. I have one dress and really want to have some fun.

    I also really need the loo! Two cups of tea and I am finished. Will be back later with a plan xxxx

    Thanks GRC xxx

    Well I haven't been in the loo all that time since yesterday! Yesterday got away from me somewhat and I did very little! I was very tired and had to look after Mum which is all but impossible. I did nearly lose it at one point. But I have to remember this is it now. She is not going to change. I still can and I WILL.

    I would write more but am in danger of having today slip away too!

    catch you all later

    Hi Buffy,

    Just checking in - it must be so worrying and exhausting for you with mum and BIL. Keep on with it - as much as it is hard I know that making sure that you look after your family is really important. Don't forget to leave time to look after you and to have some fun too!

    Hello stranger! Thought I'd pop back in and see how folks were doing.

    Sorry to hear things are still pretty tough for you. Hope they get answers on your Mum's health sooner rather than later. I think it alsways harder to cope with these things when you don't know the whats and whys of it all.

    Take care
