    Hi Itsa,

    I'm sorry to hear you've been feeling so low about things. The beauty of these diaries is that you can come on when things are bad and you'll get us all offering support and understanding. But I also understand that sometimes you just need to close off and recoup.

    I'm the same as you regarding work. I also went to my bosses and asked to reduce my hours as working 5 days a week just isn't working for me anymore. I've increased my daily hours so I'm working 4 days worth of hours in 3. I asked in August for it to start on 1 Jan, which is coming around nice and quickly.

    So, I think I do understand where your head is at the moment as I'm very similar to you in a lot of ways.
  • Hi Itsa

    Hope you don't mind if I subscribe to your diary.

    I'm loving your idea of 'being paid weekly' I might try this myself. So how do you work out how much? Do you just put all your bills/debt payments to one side and split the rest?

    Good luck with the stopping smoking, I'm not a smoker myself but could imagine it being very frustrating trying to stop. Just do your best and you will get there eventually :)
