Buffy's Mini diary

SA you may Shred, but I shedded today. 6 hours. emptying the shed, sorting the stuff, reorganising the stuff, then going to the other shed and doing the same.
I now know exactly what is in the shed. Not massively useful information! but hey ho.
Aside from that, I moved one small cupboard into the shed, one small cupboard out of the shed, one 2 m desk into the shed and one 120cm desk out of the shed.........plus moving the blanket box out to the shed. My back HURTS. A lot.
I then moved the furniture round in my room. My bed was by the window but it was a bit cold frankly!
I have a great deal of crap to sort through! but decluttering has started.
am not remotely ready for work and even tho I like my new job I still have 0 desire to go there tomorrow! :rotfl:
Any how I started this post about an hour ago!

:rotfl:I'm sure you get the same results "shedding" buffy! Functional fitness! There is absolutely no way you would ever get me to go in our shed. That is a job for Mr SA when he's well enough.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)0 -
hello folks.
I had a whole day without my laptop yesterday, I really needed to get to grips with work.
I did a lot of filing...................which weirdly I find satisfying and today at work went better.
I am not liking it generally tho, the early part of the week is TOUGH and then the 2nd half is ok but I am left almost completely alone.
Still if I ever get paid it will be worth it. I have work to do but have been distracted by the internet. Also my e mail man is away and I do miss him how odd!
Can I just say I really LOVE James Spader!
got loads to do and don't like it. so BOOOOOOOOOO
hope all is well with everyone

Ugh.
busy week. and busy week next week.
tired. had row with mum. fed up. Silly stuff doesn't matter. but had a hellishly busy week and next week is the same.
Decluttering failed mainly due to my perfectionism and Mum's different approach.
!!!!!!!!.
might go have a nap.
money wise things are alright which is good.
have to go to IKEA. boo!

Hello
disappeared into work world with a very stressy week frankly. I know some people get tremendous satisfaction out of such weeks, sense of achievement and challenge not me! I really like the quiet life and dislike the fact that work takes over.
anyhow a busy weekend beckons, the decluttering never ends because I guess it is less decluttering more reorganising, it is very difficult between having depression (and perhaps still having it?) and living in a small space not to get over whelmed - just with my post alone! plus I brought home a lot of stuff from my old job - BIG mistake!
Plus a lot of it is stuff we don't sort out. my post and resources and a lack of space - which is nuts given the space we do have!
have to say feeling quite down tonight. think it is just tiredness and a nagging feeling that I am missing something. a boy friend. ha ha. attracted another weirdo on the dating site. His hair alone was enough to send running to the hills but then I read his profile and started looking for a Convent immediately.
Moneywise...........could be an impending disaster. Car is having electrical problems. They are generally expensive. I have 270 pounds. this was to cover petrol (100?)and food/entertainment (100?) till the end of the month. That would be fine really but if the car is broken I am in trouble.
I really need a new car. dental treatment. 5000? do I borrow it? AGAIN?
Do I use the isa money to buy a new car? mine won't last. And then borrow the dental money?
seems I will be starting again after Christmas with more minus money.
I am watching Ripper Street. Really good. Was watching Children in Need but it broke my heart.
I shall go make a cup of tea and then be back to read on what I have missed.

Just watching Children in Need and the lip sync battle - SO funny cheered me right up!
and now there is a Gary Barlow bit and it is making me cry
Must count my blessings more often.

Sorry you are feeling down. Are there any small steps you feel you could manage today to tackle some of the things that are stressing you out? The post perhaps?
I really couldn't watch Children in Need last night, I would have just sobbed the whole way through. Made a donation though and gained more perspective. No matter how bad things seem there is always someone worse off XxDebts @ LBM £23,729.31. Debts @ 08/04/2016 £0 :j
