The kick up the a&£e diary for debt busting

tattycath

Well I've achieved 25% of the sales target I set myself at the start of the year. So I'm hoping to smash that as it's still only February!
Managed to save over £50 this month so far, just doing Tilly tidies. This money gets used towards any ongoing projects we have.

Got a few photos done yesterday so hoping to get some stuff listed today.
I need to get some washing and cleaning done today too.
DD1 and2 have been unwell lately and I think they have kindly shared their bugs! Not impressed! Too much to do.
So today I am coughing and have a sore throat.
If anyone has a cure for night sweats please shout up. It's getting ridiculous! It's like I'm in a permanent sauna on a night.

Hope you are feeling better soon. Sorry I can't help with the night sweats. Isn't agnus castus or something supposed to help settle hormones (assuming it's hormonal)? Might be worth a look if you can take supplements.

Well done on getting to 25% on your sales target though!

Thanks jwil.
It's definitely hormonal! I'm 'a woman of a certain age' and had tests to confirm its hormonal. Never heard of angus castus. Will have a look. - thanks.

I'm not sure there's a 'cure' as such. I am also a woman of a certain age, by the way. I found that certain foods made symptoms worse - both sweats at night and hot flushes during the day. Offenders were particularly coffee and dark chocolate for me.

The night time sweats are awful: covers on, covers off, covers on, covers off .....arrrggghh!:(

Thanks lovely.

Well, today has been busy:
Clearing a load of rubbish out of the garden, washing, shopping, DIY etc.
My wind screen wiper is shot, so after rummaging through the shed Mr tc found a brand new one in the shed-packaging was tatty and it didn't mention my model of car on the back of the pack...that said Mr tc tried to put it on my car and it fits! :money:
I'm going to move the money saved over to savings.
