Right,

I really need to get on with some !!!! today, I deliberately didn't plan anything for this weekend so am free to sort out house, shed, pre-loved and my life generally.

am pointlessly messaging a guy on the dating site.....................holy Jesus in a hand basket it is so grim on there.

I want a normal boyfriend who lives nearby and isn't completely bonkers.

get on with it Buffy come on!!

Some things never change.



Mum is driving me a bit nuts today. I have to remember I have almost 5000 pounds in savings and could pay of my debts and runaway with a Credit card if I really had to. I have friends and a car.

Plus once I pay off debt I will have over 5000 pounds with which to runaway with or buy one brick of a very small house in a horrible part of town.

I spent a couple of hours in the garden clearing up the various piles of crap that have gathered at the back of the garden. much of it is awkward shaped stuff and my fingers are sore!

Still I feel better for having done some thing physical and get something sorted. 5 and half bags of rubbish!

God Tom Cruise looks young in Mission Impossible! And always attractive.

Some time later - men on dating web site showed up


So as well as a couple of hours gardening stuff I also walked the dogs. This was in aid of my 12 week weight loss plan. I also didn't nap which I do a lot! so that is a plus.

In a fit of decluttering I chucked away a LOT of chocolate and tided a book shelf.

I wonder if I don't like Chocolate as much as I think I do. I like Wispa and snickers. And Bounty and dark chocolate. But not loads of milk stuff.

I had best post this before I lose it.

Yes folks I am living here at the moment!

I counted up my sealed pot money - essentially I did the challenge AGES ago and then when I became debt free the first time I stopped and used the pot for change for the car park.

It was very exciting. :o

126 in £2 (100 to be banked!)
20 in 20p (to be banked)
5 in 10p (to be banked)
5 in 5p (to be banked)

A total of £130 to go to the bank!

This came about because I have rejoined the Sealed Pot thread. I was thinking about how I got out of debt last time and really when I knuckled down I did stuff like the SPC and the 10 pound a day (not successfully!!) and payment a day etc. All work if you work them.


I have changed how I am going to collect the money - I have a pot for each different coin:o:o:o:o It will make it easier to count them......really- nothing to do with my healthy collection of pots!

Can't believe I have all those two pounds. :rotfl:

Nor can I believe it is one in the morning! and I am hungry.

weird.

Night All xx

Morning,

I am so tired! Obviously stayed up late counting my money like an MSE loon, thought ah I will make cocoa and head to bed dreaming of what I could buy with a£130 . Got upstairs and there was a wasp in my room!

So yours truly spent the next hour trying to encourage a VERY ANGRY wasp (accompanied by squeals and gasps from me for all the wrong reasons!) out of the window. It wouldn't go. !!!!!!! creature. I think at one point I actually called it the devil's bee.....lack of sleep is a terrible thing!

so I went and slept on the sofa. :o:o:o


Moving on.

the 130 is to be split as follows.

£60 in the Isa
£60 off the CC
£10 in the odd savings account.

I really need to check my spends CC.............like REALLY cos that could stuff me.

Hi Buffy - what a lot of posts! Glad you are sounding tons better now and VERY productive! Lots of good ideas running through your mind - love the running off with the credit card idea! Don't think I've not been tempted by that idea!

Hello SA XX yes, I have my RBS card looking at me going go on go on! but generally I am trying to get to my old routine of MSE stuff. I 'll come and get you!

We went to the garden centre! nearly managed it without a row, but really it was ok. I did spend ........50 quid to finish off the pond and generally sort out some bits. Having a nice place to live is expensive.

I have copied my signature to this post as I have to change some stuff in it.

Really need a nap! - night on the sofa caught up with me!

Good Quote that wouldn't fit in to my signature!

“We can’t escape pain; we can’t escape the essential nature of our lives. But we do have a choice. We can give in and relent, or we can fight, persevere, and create a life worth living, a noble life. Pain is a fact; our evaluation of it is a choice.” ~ Jacob Held

Hi Buffy - well done on the seal pot money, thats fantastic!

I am thinking about starting the PAD challenge, and maybe the sealed pot one too, but I don't want to give myself too many targets all at once!

How long did you do the sealed pot for, and what size of pot did you use to accumulate that total? Weird questions!

Hope you get a good nights sleep tonight.

Couple of notes,

I owe myself 280 pounds this month. (365 fund, car fund)

plus I have to pay my regular cc bill - that could stuff me. I still haven't checked it. *coward*

Right now on the main section of my post.

It has been an odd weekend, lots of emotions, all the dating I have or haven't been doing isn't helping anything. I thought the depression was coming back. Am not sure. I think it is a bigger adjustment than I realise, leaving my job and losing the man. I actually think this feeling of sadness is normal? I read my old dairies - not online ones and realised last time I felt like this I made an absolute point of keeping busy. And I don't feel entirely the same as I did at work. With that in mind I tried to keep going this weekend.

SO, yesterday wasn't great but in the evening I did de-clutter some of the conservatory and a bookcase. I also did about 3 hours of gardening which made me feel better.

Today I went shopping for gardening stuff and sorted the piggies a new cage arrangement. the indoor hutch did not work. at. all. I am so tired

Am rambling! so I think it is time for an early night.

Current debt= 4980
