    Well sitting here either still drunk or just entering hangover hell. Oh dear!

    No, I tore the room apart looking for that DVD and still haven't found it. So that'll need paying for.*sigh*

    Go told off this morning!lol. I was 'mindless' - ie had a little trouble staying on my feet when i got home, but could speak perfectly fine - I hate that! You know you're staggering but can't do anything about it!!

    Hope everyone has a lovely Staurday.

    shhhhh....oooh the hangover has hit good and proper now - OH has gone out to the pub after doing overtime this morning, no idea when he'll be back so the poor kids will just have to play around me as I lie on the sofa today!! Gradually feeling better, just shattered!

    Spent much mroe than I planned but I got lifts everywhere so saved the £12 on taxis which is good I guess. Will have to really watch my spending to ensure i don't start spending more now!

    Hi Sea I hope that you are well and truely over your hangover now and raring to go!
    My thought would be ref the child care you are saving in September. Maybe DON'T tell CCCS about all of it. If you save some of it then you would soon have an emergency fund (eg if you save £100 a month of it), in case the washing machine, water boiler, gasket on car etc blew up! Or if you saved all of it, then some could be for emergencies like above and some could be towards a full and final settlement on one of the debts.

    I am no good with SOA and always feel bad examining them - I know daft!

    But I am very naughty I could budget a lot more and cut back on things to offer my debts more on DMP but I don't. I know its wrong but I think I have 3 children and the last thing I want is them to grow up feeling money pressured. Now don't get me wrong they are not in designer clothes and they don't get pocket money but I like my £21 sky package (can't get any other TV here!) and we rent our DVDs from Tesco one at a time, we do eat out about once a month and they do have good birthday parties. Christmas does not cost us as all my surveys pay for that.

    I know I am a really bad MSE I am just relieved we have breathing space with the DMP and I suppose should really pay more but then I get scared that if interest rates go up again then I would have committed to much.

    Sorry waffling now but basically don't feel bad you are doing bloody well esp after a divorce and you are a much better MSE than me!

    You only think you have 3 children. I am fairly sure that I have 2 myself!

    Hi all,

    Well no DVD found still! Will jut have to cancel and pay.

    Having a really bad day today. Not sure if the affect of the alcohol is hitting in with the anti-d's or just having a bad day, but am exhausted (getting annoying now this constant tiredness) and can't be bothered to do anything. Got to take dd to dance in a while and then it's SW tonight but the way I'm feeling now I just want to curl up in a ball, forgot about everything and shut out the world.

    Don't know why I'm feeling tlike this - it's so silly as things are going well. Me and OH are getting on a little better, although it is much more one sided - I just am not sure if I fancy him at all (so TMI!!) although I do love him, although might not be 'in' love with him anymore - I don't know!


    Anyway, non of this is DFW sorry.

    I've not had post for three days but the debt is finally going down for the first time since startin the DMP and that's good. Doing a few more surveys recently so hopefully I'll win a prize draw one of these days!

    Hope all are well today.

    :grouphug: Poor Sea!

    It sounds like your having a hard time. I would weigh in tonight and then go straight home, have something nice for dinner and then do nothing. Are you sleeping ok?

    I go through stages like this and they aren't fun but try and keep going. Remember it will all be worth it in the end. I understand the loving being 'in' love with someone difference. You need to work out what is best for all of you.

    But keep smiling and remember we will all try and cheer you up.

    Hi Sea,

    Well done for the progress to date.

    I thought I would suggest you go look for something else and you are likely to find the DVD - always works for me!
    :D Thanks to MSE, I am mortgage free!:D
