feeling fed up

woke up and feeling really fed up. this is when i try and cheer myself up. already started shopping online putting thingsin basket and then when it comes to pay i switch it off and think i can't do it. been getting more letters and morelate payments. have sent most of the letters off need to go to photocopier but with village life got to go to town to use photocopier, so got to wait till im back at college next week as will get a teacher to photo copy for free. thinking about doing a car boot but to be honest getting someone to have kids is a nightmare and also be a bit scared to do it on my own......also where to do one. sorting out and have got a bag of teddies to sell. some books. tupperware containers. i got some v tech names brands toys as well. I think it would be worth putting on ebay as i prob only get a small amount. got some clothes that i will put on there as they are next brands, adams etc. my house is a big giant mess. been cleaing up but still dont look any better.
i have not done too much unnessary spending. brought some cucumber, tomato, strawberry plants. and a punkin plant. 99p each. got some heathers to plant and brought some flowers that look half dead at next to nothin prices so thought i would see if they come back for next year as they are primulas. brought 6 for 50p
and brought a kite for the kids thought we could go to cannock chase or something as its a cheap day out.
I guess it dont help as my new boyfriend is in tenirife with his fokes and his 2 young boys. Was booked before we met. But on the bright side he has said if my car fails its MOT next week he will pay for the problems on it. which is nice of him.
anyway best go and do some more housework......

I too feel like this, i am ment to be budgeting and blew it because i wanted a breadmaker.
It could of waited, and then i spent a small fortune on flour, yeast, ect. I was thinking of starting a diary on here to try and stop me over spending.
Still, i am at work and really should try and do some now. Good luck with the housework, mine will be waiting for me when i get home.

Hi, My house looks a state as im doing my carboot this weekend. I would say get going on ebay youd be suprised how much you'll make-and it will tidy the house.
Maybe you could let us know your area and someone on here may help you out with carboot if you could find babysitter?
uneccesary spending- i bought a half price easter egg before work and then left it in the car and it melted. Think thats my lesson learned!june debt totals:

angie-baby, why not join in with the daily spends and weekly challenge threads to try and help with the budgetting? have a look at them, they sure help me think about spending when I have to confess it on here!
angela, I also know how you feel re the boot sales. I have heaps of stuff that would go easily at one, but I don't drive so I'm stuck for doing it! I'd had a thought of posting on the where you live boards to see if there was anyone else in my area wanting to do one but not wanting to go alone that might want to pair up for it. maybe you could do the same (or if your in aberdeen area we could pair up)
try not to let it get to you poppet, there are good and bad days and you just need to keep smiling through them all!0 -
Hey SA
I know what you mean. I'm really in need of doing a boot sale, but just can't seem to get motivated to do it on my own!! I don't have the kids to worry about though. How old are they, could they come with you?
I think the kite idea is excellent!!
I really need to start a spending diary but am too afraid to face facts!!LBM - March 2007
