  • *sorry a little moan ... just ignore me*

    OMG I am seriously absolutely exhausted - I have absolutely no energy :( and struggling to not do the most humungous yawns every 30 seconds or so!

    I've had a coffee and it's not helped at all :eek: and I've been up an hour so the initial "I'm not awake yet" feeling should've worn off.

    I probably should've got up earlier when I 1st woke up but it was so early ... and it was cold and I was comfy - I always feel carp if I don't and fall asleep again (which I did today) ...... would've been OK if I could've gone back for another snooze but can't

    Arrrgggghhh!

    Right ........ pull yourself together girl

    Have you tried a S.A.D lamp? I find it helps waken me up on night shift ... Need to get mine back from my son hmmm
  • Nooo - although I do know a couple of people who swear by them.:)

    Generally, I am a morning person and usually get going without too many problems ... it's when I don't get up as soon as I wake up and go back to sleep (as I did today) that I just feel awful :( but I was just sooooo tired I couldn't get up earlier

    Bah! (as Beanielou so often puts it!)

    Really must sort myself out and try to get moving!


    It's really horrid outside too ...... pouring with rain & looks pretty windy so the journey's not going to be that pleasant!

    Right ... time to get my butt into gear & move!:o

  • Thanks Loz :D

    Well .... I did eventually manage to get moving so I've been .... had my scan :T and am just home.

    Stopped off at Mr A on the way back for a few bits and ..... errrr somehow managed to spend £49:eek: but worse .... I had a few pet bits and I'd separated them out & paid for them separately so can't even blame that!

    Honestly, stuff is just getting sooooo expensive :( - there was the odd wee treat in there :o (well, it is Christmas;)) but maybe £5 worth so nothing horrendous .....

    It should [STRIKE]better [/STRIKE]last me a fortnight but :eek::eek:

    Shattered ......:o

  • Arrrrrggggghhhhh - just logged into online banking to check something and .... I appear to have been paid :eek:

    I knew it was going to be early (always is at Christmas) but hadn't realised it was today!

    Arrrrgggghhhhhh - not sorted the budget yet!

    Well I know what I should be doing but still trying to sort out fuel .... arrrrgggghhhh don't like surprises like that

    It really just means that I'll be OD a bit longer than I thought as it basically just goes into that account & then all gets moved to others ones!:(:o

  • mmmm - actually looks worse than normal :eek:

    Usually I've had the c/card statement before I'm paid so I move all the amounts to the various pots on payday and then move the amounts spent back to the main account (from the pots) to cover the c/card bill ....... can't move money back yet as don't have the statement .... arrrggghhhh:eek: don't like this!

    Wonder if I should move everything back to my main account until the end of the month :o - but that might confuse me even more!

  • OMG I can't believe how stressed I am just with being paid sooner than I thought I would be :o really need a chill pill!:o:o

    Also really need to brave outside as I can hear bins flying around out there - it was bin day today so they're all empty (and light) and it's really windy out there ...... and it's pouring so don't want to go out - but don't want them flying into Dinky either! :(

    Ohhhhhhh - I must be tired to be this stressed :o it has been a bit of a week!

    Right - off to move the bins, will put the water on while I'm up and then a nice relaxing bath & PJs I think!

    And breathe!!!

    Dont panic, just do what you'd normally do. Work out your budget and go from there :)

    Rising, you need to relax. I think a nice bath and PJs is a very good idea.
    Good luck with the bins...get some well deserved rest.
