If you're really cold the best thing to do is to get into bed for warmth, or drag your duvet to your sofa. Get a hot drink for your hands and talk to someone who cares about you, they will be glad you have called them rather than sitting and despairing by yourself.
I do this quite often actually!!
Hope you're feeling more positive today

Well sis and I have managed to scrape enough together to get an emergancy delivery of oil tomorrow so thats good... Provided it can get here... village is cut off at the moment due to flooding and it's still raining..
Paid my car insurance so thats another thing off the list..
Did some food shopping yesterday so that's another thing less to worry about and I've been trying to think differently instead of buying convinence foods I'm cooking properly...
Anyway off college coz of the floods so back to the health and safety assignment I was doing...
Thanks eveyone

Hello everyone..
I'm feeling much better today been on a new diet and it's only been 2 days but my god I feel so so much better!! I'm sleeping better just feeling better genrally and less sluggish so it's all good...
Have my 1st bootcamp session tomorrow night so I might say differently and 6.15am on Friday! Decided as I start work at 1pm on Friday I ll be able to chill and do uni work inbetween....
Also got the oil delivered at 10am (Have put some money away to start saving again - never want to be this cold ever again!)
Got lots of overtime coming up including Sundays which will be good, also got an email saying I can apply for the hardship fund.. (You know the one I was told didn't exist) so hopefully will get that handed in tomorrow and sorted..
Hope your all well..

Well today started off well but it's just fallen horrificly on it's face... went to post parcel at PO from eBay and my card declined.....
and I've just checked my account and I have £8 in my account majorly messed up so now have no money for car insurance or phone bill and don't know what to do............
Can't cope with this all any more... just go round and round it's not like I'm spending money on expensive things ughhhhhh so down

Wellylass sorry not been about for a bit (and sorry I've not read back further than your last post so the answer might be further back but I didn't want to read and run) can you increase your overdraft to get your item posted and see you through?
Hugs (((())))CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera. You can enjoy it even if you don't understand it and too much can give you a headache the next day J0 -
Hi uni thanks for the reply... Posted my item with cash I had... I've just checked my online banking and my car insurance has gone out so I just need to find the money for my phone bill this month and a tenner to go in my savings (I know I shouldn't have savings but this is the fund incase the world ends kinda thing.)
I'm waiting for a cheuqe to come for £50 and I'm so close to cashing out £25 on swagbucks so I might just manage it...
Then when I get paid the Friday before christmas it ll be a mad dash!
Also sending off ALF form today fingers crossed!

Hi Welly, I'm glad you've sent off for the hardship fund x
r.e. phone bill - I know the savings are good to have but can you use a little to make sure your bill is paid and won't get any charges?
When you get your overtime pay you can put it back.
Ev xNext debt to bust c/c £1253.53 24/4/13 - Now £1211.910 -
I can't get at it that's the problem and if I do withdraw it means the intrest will drop... The whole reason I got it was so I couldn't access it as I'm good at taking savings and spending them... my god hindsight is a wonderful thing!! Sis has said she will lend me some till I get paid again and I've found some more stuff to ebay which I ll put on now...
Thanks for the advice tho girls

Morning all....
For some bizzare reason I've been awake since half 5... I think this new diet and exercise plan is giving me more energy just at the wrong time of day!
Just had to refund an ebay item that I sold as the lady wasn't happy with the condition of the book........ It was fine but what can you do so that's £4 gone! (Seems alot of trouble for £4 but I suppose it all counts).
Did my 1st bootcamp last night and it was great felt so good afterwards and I really think it will help me get out all my stress plus it's given me the boot I need to not stuff my face with crap and feel crap!
Got a few more things listed which have got bids and things already.. Got a tweed coat to put on tonight too which I am now to tall and wide for lol
Things will all come right in the end just gotta take it steady and keep focused on the end goal... plus it will help once my student finance comes in January....
There I go rambling on again!
Have a good day everyone, I'm off on work placement to do a site visit and then do some mapping stuff (whoo!).

Hello all...
Reached new lows tonight... as had to buy oil this month ended up really short... Then today got a council tax demand notice to pay £180 quid.. So my lovely friend has just shoved £200 in my account to pay for some food and fuel as we have nothing..... So I'm eBaying everything I own ad trying to not spend anything then will pay her back once I get my overtime in Jan....
Round and round I go yet again.....
Hope your all ok
