  • Sorry to hear you sounding so 'tortured' (can't think of a better word!) by your thoughts. I hope you can work something out.

    Dear Universe,

    Please send a gorgeous, funny, kind, caring man DESERVING of my lovely friend Buffy asap.

    A big fat wallet and large *ahem* shoe size would also be appreciated!

    Love PLMBL Xx

    :) the universe bit made me laugh :) shoe size eh :) :rotfl:

    Once I had written all that out last night weirdly I felt better, the money I have in my various accounts is at least mine and I none of the stuff that needs doing needs doing NOW.. I have time to work stuff out.

    I do owe a lot and it isn't going down as quickly as I would like but as it is 0% I am doing ok.

    Have to crack on and make some decisions re clutter and my life here.

    catch you all later XXX

  • Ah went for my last pedicure, facial and eyebrow threading...........Once I got debt free the first time I started all this and I LOVE it.

    LOTs. the girls who do it are so nice (and highly skilled at getting me to buy stuff!) Skin looks amazing.

    but this morning cost me 100 pounds. So it has to go. I have threading left - it is on a course and did book a facial and pedicure for Christmas. But realistically I might have to cancel it.

    hey ho I want to travel. plus I can do some of this stuff myself!

    Am debating lots of things in my head.

    Is swimming with dolphins bad for them?

    That isn't one of the things. Well it was briefly. it was more about money (!) I need two grand to buy a new car. I have 1430 ( used 600 pounds to pay off credit card. twice I think! July and then paid it back with July's pay and then borrowed it again to pay it in August.)

    wow suddenly don't feel well.

    back later XX

    I've been Money Tipped! Debt-free and Proud!
    Hey Buffy :)

    I Have been looking into a few pampering sessions at the local salon and fancy having waxing/threading..is it painful?

    I have so many things that i need and want to save for..it makes my head swim at times. I need enough money to buy a car if mine breaks down (its essential for work), so thats £2000, then £2000 for a holiday for us all, then £2000 for moving house etc etc..and the list goes on and on.
    I am not surprised that you are feeling unwell with so much to think about! It's enouhg to turn anyone queezy!
  • Is swimming with dolphins bad for them?

    I hope not because I've done it!! Did it in Mexico on my honeymoon and it was amazing. I absolutely hate the idea of them being kept in tanks, but where I went was part of the ocean. They genuinely seemed to enjoy the human company and seemed really happy (though I don't speak dolphin so I couldn't swear to it!!). Xx

  • Well overall today was at best a day off and worst a complete bust!

    I got up, another bad dream didn't start the day off well. Remembered I had my facial appointment went to that, VERY nice.

    Then I came home made mum and I lunch which was me using left overs which then gave me a tummy ache! :o so I went to lay down for a bit..not to overshare but I think I have IBS........didn't wake up till 6........

    I do this quite often on Saturday, I feel so lazy! and so tired obviously.

    Then it was have dinner(different leftovers!) , watch Strictly and sit here reading ! LITERALLY all evening.......oh I got up to make tea!

    I did look at my bank account. paid for this morning (I paid on my CC, was going to pay in cash but decided to get the points instead.

    (Random aside Steve Hughes. Funny man)

    Also paid another 5 off the big CC. Doesn't show up very quickly on the halif*x site. I do hate that. Although the Tesco's card is now finally sorted.

    Loads to do tomorrow.

    Hello Buffy - just catching up with your diary. You sound very busy as usual. I also hope right man comes along for you very soon. He is out there somewhere but you need to be patient. In the meantime you have plenty to occupy yourself with. Virtual hugs from me.
    I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)

    Right I started this twice, internet connections going funny!

    Threading is painful if neat period or if like me a big wuss but I think it is worth it as it works really well. Also the facials are brilliant for my skin but I do wonder if it is more the products - dermalogica that are helping.

    I'd recommend it overall, just as a nice experience :)
    today I

    went to the tip
    went shopping
    visited my friend
    fixed the pond pump :)
    moved loads of stuff into the shed.

    am so tired. and hurt my arm.

    BUT am quite pleased... ooo not done my work for tomorrow.

    damn and it is 11!

    however just looked and have a free. so that is cool.......................

    Night all Lovelys XXXXXXX
