Great news, fingers crossed she'll want some of the clothes from you then.
Wish I was feeling motivated, just seem to be finding it all hard work at the moment, got some ebay stuff in a box ready to get on there but cant be bothered to go get the box and sort it out.It’s not worth doing something unless someone, somewhere, would much rather you weren’t doing it.

Af'noon!
Boy, I'm tired!! Worked 11 hours in the cold and today I'm still cold and all achey and stuff. Ebay has a free listings weekend but I have zero energy so that will have to wait. PLUS I still don't have that silly letter :mad:
On the up side, my friend bought a coat from my auction lot for a tenner!
Plans for tonight are: cook a roast, eat said roast, have a bath, drink hot chocolate, watch several episodes of The West Wing, collapse into bed. Might squeeze in a face pack

Evening!
So lazy last night turned into kinda lazy today, with a workout thrown in. In fact, I've created a new fitness thread for MSE freebie fitness!!

Made my PAD, trying really hard to not use my O/D before I head off to rehearsals but I don't think I have a choice :mad: also trying really hard to not panic about it!

Bit of a rubbish day today, got told by my new boss that I didn't produce enough leads on my shift so I might not get any more work with her. This was after being told by the client how happy they were. Now I have no idea if I'm working tomorrow afternoon (on a basic flyering job, no lead generation required). I sent her an email explaining what the client had told me, and that I apologised if she felt I'd let her down. I'm annoyed, but I'm also feeling really guilty!! My guilt complex needs to take a hike!
Aside from that, made my PAD, £1.16 to round off my bank balance. I can get through the next couple of months if I don't get any more work, but I'd have to dip quite heavily into my overdraft which isn't ideal...
Also reviewed another workout video, to say I'm sore is an understatement!
Nothing else I can do for now anyway, just hope all this doesn't give me a sleepless night (yeah right
) 2019 Aim: Save £10,000

Evening!
Yesterday was manic, worked all morning through lunchtime then spent three hours power walking while I was delivering leaflets. Including walking to work I walked 14 miles yesterday. On my 'rest day' :eek:
Think of the abs, think of the abs....
Anyway, day off today, so did a workout and reviewed it, baked some biscuits (jammy dodgers
), made my PAD, cleaned the kitchen, started to clean the bathroom, had a NSD, my friend came over to use my sewing machine and steal my biscuits, stuck a few items up on eb@y, and now I'm watching the West Wing and drinking hot chocolate. For a change.

Of course exersize is bad for you!
Glad you're keeping busy working, this being unemployed thing is driving me nuts - right now my body clock is totally back to front as I've no reason to get up in a morning to force myself to reset it.It’s not worth doing something unless someone, somewhere, would much rather you weren’t doing it.

I'm sorry you're finding it hard, Scuba. Finding a job in some parts of the country seems to be like finding a needle in a hay barn and the body clock thing is a b*tch. Wish I could send you some smiley jammy dodgers! xx 2019 Aim: Save £10,000

Forgot to say earlier, I've started telling my close friends how much debt I'm in. I think I feel more open about it because I'm dealing with it now, and do you know what? Everyone's been supportive, and nobody has been remotely surprised. Actually, bearing in mind what happened last year, they're quite relieved that becoming debt free is the biggest stress in my life right now.
Almost £12k in debt, but I'm on the right track and life is good.
Having written that, I now have tears in my eyes. Sap.2019 Aim: Save £10,000

A very enjoyable but long couple of days at work. Today I taught lots of hyper 5-year-olds the dance to Gangnam Style at a birthday party. Fun and VERY tiring!!
Off to bed now and thinking about how it's only SIX DAYS UNTIL I SEE THE BF!!!!! :smileyhea Haven't seen him for 6 weeks, it feels like a reeeeeeeeeeeally long time!!
I'll do a proper check-in tomorrow but right now my pillow and pj's are calling me....2019 Aim: Save £10,000
