Rising to the top of the ocean - and staying afloat!

I've always felt - and this may well be me as I am a bit ..... odd sometimes - that once a diary gets really long (probably over 1000 posts) it puts me off reading it - talking new ones here, it's obviously different when you've been there since or near the start.

I sometimes look at the last few pages of long ones and feel like I'm intruding as it's obvious that the posters know each other / and each others circumstances really well ..... so I shuffle off again without posting:o.

So ... decided it was time!

I often read the first page then the last and goodness knows what happens in the middle:o mine might be long but they all just gang up on me:p

Thanks Purple - you have NO idea the hours that went into that!:o

I love the sea ..... my grandad was a fisherman so I was brought up around boats .

I guess, like all of nature, it's the wildness of it and that you can't control it .... one minute it's as gentle as a newborn pup and the next it's the raging mother as you've got too close to her baby!

It seemed a bit apt as I've previously been drowning in debt and it could easily be compared to clawing my way to the surface of the ocean..... now I just need a life-belt to keep me up there as things are tight!:)

I really need to get this budgeting malarkey sorted once and for all - as I keep sinking down and having to claw my way up again .... and again .... and again!:o

Good luck with your plans
