Well Done Sea!

Sounds like you are feeling much more postive. I've started listing things as well, gets it all ordered and lovely. Try to make time for yourself. I intend to have a home spa tonight. Using all the products I've bought and hardly use!! Should be able to get a good few uses out of it all.

Good luck with the Gym, let us know how you get on. I am a sufferer of a green fish tank (not nice) really need to give it a good clean out, might do it tonight if I can be bothered!

Keep smiling x

that's why I want to get these sucky fish things - then I don't need to clean it so much lol!

I think I'll def be having that bath - with as many of my smellys as I can in order to clear some of the shelf, which is looking so full, it's going to start throwing things off it itself if I don't do something about it!

Well if you have lots of bubble bath stuff then quite frankly it is your duty to use it up before you get loads more at Christmas and all those bottles will clutter up the place way too much

I wonder how many off us fritter away the afternoons on here? I was addicted to the BBC boards before I found this one so I am an internet addict :rolleyes: So no hope for me, although I can get away with it and I think my boss probably knows I am emailing and chatting away to people online. Still my work is all done and I am sooooo bored. Still 10 minutes to hometime :j Then I am having a DFW dinner, I am going round to OHs parents so free food :rotfl:

Hope you have a great evening, oh and dont worry about talking about non DFW/MSE stuff as I am still a newbie (I reckon) so need all the help I can get It is also what makes the diary so helpful and believable. I think it would suck to see post one: 10k debt post two: debt cleared. That so wouldnt be helpful or inspiring or showing us that we arent alone. See I can always make an excuse for chatter :rotfl:

Chatter is great

Hope you have a fab meal at OH's parents - always good when you have free food! Nice not having to make it as well

ooooh...need to add to my to do list is to sew DD's button back on her blazer as it looks terrible without it!

That's defintely an incentive to not buy any more cigs I still have some in the cupboard.....can't bring myself to throw them out yet....

I quit back in nov/dec of last year (the week that crossed over both months) in the first week of deciding to, I had 8 cigs and not had one since, even though my father sent my two pouches of baccie for my birthday(same week). So I had to pouches of golden V in house for ages, sold one on to younger bro when he ran out of cigs near christmas and before he got paid (may aswell make a profit from unwanted gift) and the second pouch I gave to my older bro for his birthday as I was totally broke. Knowing I had them in the house sorta helped me not smoke. If i had had the cravings with no cigs in, or way to make one, i would probs have gone shop and bought some so carried on.
Point of my post, if you are truely ready to quit smoking, having the stuff in the house wont deter you from quiting, not being ready to quit, binning everything will only cost you more as you then have to replace everything (yeap i done that one when i wasn't fully ready to quit previously).

Good luck to you both.

Hi Sea, I would be lost without my diary on here. Up until this weekend I had been feeling rather low and without my diary I wouldn't have got the help that I obviously needed. Virtual hugs, reminders of how much we actually have achieved, and kicks up the backside are all part of the journey.

Keep on posting, and look after yourself. My opinion re the MA, for what it is worth, is that if you can do it, then you should do it. You are investing in the future and after 2 or 3 years will have more earning power, giving you far more choices and abilities to help the kids and have holidays etc then.

The days out that you have with your children are invaluable. Not in terms of money, but in terms of quality time and love. Those will continue if you do the MA won't they?

Thanks hypno - I am asking school if they can cover some of it and have also thought that I can ask family to give me a little money rather than presents (the ones that prefer to do this, some definitely do not) towards this - they would like that I think as they have been going on at me to do it!

However DISASTER has struck. When OH was relocated up here before i moved (I lived in London with the kids and was on mat leave and then worked full tim again while he worked up here) he got a flat. However, becuase it was not mine I left him to sort bills etc when we moved into our house. BIG mistake. We've now received two bills - £300 gas & £100 electric. He can't remember if he ever paid gas and electric while there. Please please please please let this be a mistake because we haven't got £400 to pay it!!!!

Didn't get the sucky fish things as the fish shop didn't have any today will have to go back next week.

Done 15 mins in kitchen - looking better and could do with another 15 mins once kids fully down. I picked up Oh's prescription and now just need to do the marking and button on DD's blazer.

Ooh, nasty gas and electric stuff. How long ago did this relate to? (is that a grammatically correct statement? I think not!)

Fingers crossed that it is all wrong, but if it is correct, hand them over to him to sort out. They are as a result of his own "head in the sand" attitude so he needs to arrange payment plan, cutting back his own spends etc etc to pay it.

Hugs coming your way from the hypno household.

Sea78

Don't think we can cut back (well, we can there is always a way!!) but as our DMP amounts are set, it's gonna impact whatever It is last year - feb to sept.

Right, well just had a bath and a lovelyt chat with my bessie mate. Thanks to Taxi's fabulous hamper idea we are now going to do a hamper for each other but the whole lot can only be max spend of £5 so it's got to be freebies or bought with ipoints/piggypoints (but not things like vouchers) so I'm really looking forward to that. We don't buy xmas pressies so are doing one for bdays - mine is just after xmas and her's is next april, so got lots of time! Already got a few ideas. our girls are the same age as well so we're going to do a cheapie hamper for each girl and then my DD can help make stuff for her dd etc. Should be fun and v MSE Going to chat to a few other friends already and discuss xmas/gift ideas and see if we can challenge each other to find the bestest thing for a cheap price etc.

Not sewn the button on yet - and quite frankly I can't be bothered - terrible I know. I'm off to bed in a while and am going to sleep well tonight - I don't know if anyone else has found this, but my dreams have been very *ahem* vivid since starting the anti-d's. I can't look at someone I work with without blushing and I'm also in that stage where I think we're much better friends than we actually are. Found myself staring at him today !!!!!!!!:rotfl:

Anyhoo - hope all are well
