    didn't do much at all when i got home from volunteering yesterday - was much to tired! i was on my feet from 10am to 4.30 so practically a full days work which i haven't done for almost 3 years!

    have psychology appt today and glad its early - done :)
    going to try and list those other 5 items on the bay today - no chance lol
    credit card limit has been increased so just waiting for payment to clear and i can buy oil - already have £400 towards clearing that and not even bought it yet :D - bought :)
    next savings target is the £900 i need to clear my final debt! i really can't wait!!
    planning on doing car boot sale at the weekend so need to sort stuff for that.
    need to check up on an amazon order too - should have been here by now! -arrived today :)

    that will do for now :)

    Oil ordered - saved £127 by waiting to get 900l and ringing round - well pleased :)

    Fantastic news about the oil and the volunteering! :T What is it that you are doing?
    Sorry that it wore you out though :( Your body will start to get used to it in time. It's fab that your doing it though, a big step to take :D

    I hope you get a better night's rest tonight!


    Not doing much stepping today. I took the recycling out and emptied the bins, put the dishwasher on and I went to college this morning for the first session of my course so that's enough for me as I am working this evening and all day tomorrow. Looking forward to finishing at my job, not long now...
    I'll be back to step on monday, have a good rest of your weekends everyone :)
    Don't turn a slip up into a give up:D

  • Thanks Suzi :) I have been doing a few bits of volunteering - a few weeks ago i did some walking of the dogs at the local kennels and the past few weeks i have been helping in a cancer charity shop. The no sleeping thing seems to be after volunteering even tho it really tires me out being there. I'm wondering if its an anxiety reaction thing - exhausted but high levels of adrenalin or something........will have to keep an eye on the pattern.

    How did your course go? and bet you can't wait to finish work :) xxx

  • Well i didn't go to the car boot today - i'm just too tired. I did wake at 6 but went back to sleep :D

    Gonna try and work through the rollies today:

    pack up ebay sales
    list up to max on other 2 accounts
    tidy kitchen
    free bingo - done
    put clean washing away
    tidy living room
    get unique rewards up to $17.60
    add some sb to that account

    also:
    find big crochet hook
    get emails down to 1500
    sort a box from spare room
    go out somewhere to get out of the house

    think that will do for today :)

  • Hi everyone

    Just a quick shout from me as I'm working all weekend - 8 hours yesterday :( still, all helps with the money situation I suppose.

    Fairy, I will definitely try some of your tips, and I hope you feel better very soon!

    Suzi, welcome back :)

    Speak to you all again soon :) xxx
    Finally debt free!! March 2018 :j
  • Would anyone have any old pyjamas/sheets/duvets/fabric they are throwing out??? i would be very grateful for them to make charity quilts. I am especially looking for pink fabrics to make a quilt for Cancer Focus breast cancer campaign fundraising, and brushed cotton pyjamas/sheets etc for childrens quilts. It doesn't matter what the condition is as they will be getting cut up! If you are able to post anything to me please PM me for address. Thanks in advance

  • Hi fairy - I don't unfortunately as I had a big clear out when I moved just before Christmas! But if I find anything I will let you know :)

    I hope everyone is getting on well with the stepping? It's very quiet on here at the moment! xxx
