    Morning :)

    Long time no see. Good weekend all be it have been very poorly :( Got stupid tonsilitis, never had it before and owww :( Went to see friends friday night chatted away felt ok, home and started to feel fluey. Saturday did hossie am and really struggled to muck out, dosed myself up on painkillers and went down to see friend. Got to Kent ok and was just relaxing on sofa when came across faint and nearly passed out, scared the friend a wee bit, but was ok after about half hour. Friend made me go upstairs and lie down and stayed with me to make sure I was ok, felt very spoilt :D Sunday felt a wee bit better but couldnt eat but went out for drive down to coast, nice to get some fresh air and lovely walk on beach. Came home did hossie and then tried to sleep.

    Felt really rough still Monday so went to doctors and now got 10 days worth of penicillin. They are slowly working. Had morning of sick and had hairdresser in the afternoon so a small spend of £25.

    Had yesterday of sick as still felt knackered and hadnt eaten so relaxed at home, caught up on the washing. A NSD :)

    Back to work today, lots of catch up on, still not 100% but only me in so nice and peaceful.

    £6 withdrawn from 2 survey sites had been paid to the CC today. Had interest added but only £1.33 so pleased with that.

    5 items sold on ebay last night, should make around £30 profit :D Few ready to post today, managed to re-list what hadnt sold. Havent put any new on, if I feel ok may try to do tomorrow.

    Morning :) YAY its Friday!

    Spent £118 yesterday in Sainsbugs, £100 budget exactly as bought skirt for £18, need to check it fits ok if not will return it. Bought to replace one I ripped at work. Have enough in bank to cover the overspend. Pleased came on budget. Doh moment this morning as had gift voucher but forgot to take it, will use it next time :cool:

    £50 on fuel as well, this will last me this week, trip at weekend, next week and most of commute to Cornwall as think I will drive down there. Other fuel in cornwall will be split half and half so no major overspend. have put some pennies aside in the budget this month for hols, whilst still leaving some for overpayments :)

    Ex seems to buying some of his own food which is great, just bought what I wanted for myself, he may use the chips, frozen veg etc and of course loo roll but there is a definite improvement, better for my purse.

    Sounds good, well done!! I've got my eye on a top in sainsburys but I'm not sure if I can justify the spend - huge thing for me, normally I'd be straight there!! Pay day today so making my payments over the weekend :)

    And yay for the ex - hopefully that sort of thing is going to make a big difference to you

    Morning :)

    Another fab weekend :D Friday evening cleared field of poo, how exciting :rotfl:

    Saturday did hossie then went to Kent to see friend, now just more of a friend ;) but have a hopefully good feeling about this. Am very spoilt each time I see him and he makes me feel like I am No.1. Found out a bit more about his past and we are on very similar backgrounds and experiences. Just get on really well and have same warped sense of humour :) Really looking forward to holiday cant wait to spend whole week relaxing and enjoying each others company :D

    So a NSD on Saturday as friend bought food, sunday spent £20 as went to get few bits of shopping and I offered to pay, some for when we go away.

    Another item on ebay sold and few more with bids ending on Tuesday :) Wont have time to put anymore on as otherwise will end when I am away. Will be back on a mission when get back.

    Thinking about telling ex about me and friend when get back, watch this space. Financially finally getting myself sorted and feel like I am making progress, debt is being cleared really well, budgets are working out fine, just need to be able to sort the mortgage out.

    Morning :)

    So a NSD yesterday, first of many of July I hope, achieved 18 in June :D

    Few more pennies withdrawn from survey site so waiting to hit paypal. Ebay ends tonight so hoping for a few more last minute bids.

    Ex being difficult, had a row last night about living arrangements and he said he couldnt afford anything, so he would stay put, so that means I would have to subsidise and live somewhere with him, so I mentioned about selling and that what would he do, would be in same position, grr very angry. I also mentioned that there was outstanding jobs in the house to do but apparently thats not his problem, its my bro in laws fault cos he said he would do, which is just wrong, bro in law offered to help, ex just lazy and cant be bothered to do anything for himself, just see this more and more now. Fuming wasnt the word, not sure whether to mention to bro in law as he would be fuming too, may just leave it. So need to find a different way out of this situation. Plan B me thinks is needed, puts thinking cap on.

    Cos of row ex has deleted me from facebook and has deleted a few close friends too and my sister, his choice and is fine by me not bothered at all, just for me its another step to splitting properly.

    Splitting up is always painful even when the love has gone. It will get better though over time. Try not to subsidize him too much, not easy I know, but the lack of a home feeling may make him start to evaluate his position.

    Love to you and hossie
