    I am so pleased you are being positive. The sun is shining here and i always find that helps. Not so sure i woukd be eager to finish early for an evening of tidying.lol.
    Life in the countryside eh-must be so peaceful.
    Ive got 1 hour left at home before i start rushing around like a mad woman- today has been nice and slow so far and my grandad has cut the grass and the hedge and my gran fetched some tupperware containers which is just what i needed.

    I wish it was but never home to enjoy it much either on a train or in London!! Never mind. How about you, what part of the country are you from, where ever it is I am glad the sun is shining :-)

    Yep, I must sound crazy to be looking forward to getting home just to clean and sort things, but it will make me feel better!!

    Hope you have a good afternoon/eve/night at work....blimey!!

    Anything that makes you feel better is well worth doing.
    I live in York which is just soooo expensive!!!
    You make it sound like im at work constanly-i'm in charge tonight so i may try and sit in office with a cup of tea for a coupe of hours but knowing my luck we will be dead busy.
    I actually feel full of life today and have a feeling that things will go my way-i havent felt like this for a long time and im not sure why.
    Its werid but i feel like me again-does that make any sense?xx

    That is great that you are feeling back to your normal self and NO it does not sound funny. A massive turn around from the past few weeks and I think its fantastic. Positive thinking and attitudes always help I think.

    I hope you manage to take it easy with a cuppa at some point tonight.

    Take care xx

    Morning a very early post before i shoot off to work.
    Sat OH down last night and told him exactly how i felt about things and how hard he makes it for me and have asked hime to help me out.-My OH has around 15 ccs with a combined debt of less than £200 and all are now 0% for various amounts of time so it wont hurt him to help.
    He is going to think about it-so keeping fingers crossed.At least now i hope he gts the message and becomes more supportive.
    Anyway just wanted to share that. will update my sig this weekend.
    Have a good day.

    OMG I really hope you get there with him hun. Sometimes it just takes time for the penny to drop.

    I know my OH wasnt 100% supportive of what I was trying to do, instead wanting us to "go out more" but then after a short amount of time the penny dropped and he was way more supportive and "got it". Now its my turn to start working with him to paying his debt off, and he is really starting to "see the benefit". ONe day when its all over we can look to the future together and be able to fund something we both want to do.

    Maybe have a meal once the kids hav gone to bed and talk about what you want for yourselves in a few years? We had conversations about buying campervan & going travelling & also moving abroad, and getting wed. Sometimes a shared goal focuses the mind, I really hope you get there with him xxx
