It's a marathon not a sprint. You're already doing a lot with extra shifts and ebay. Don't take on too much or you'll burn out. Take five mins, sit back with a cuppa and see what you've achieved.Mortgage at 01.01.14 £119,481.83:eek: today £0 Emergency fund £5.5/5.5k & £200/200 cash.:jWeight 24/02/19 14st 7lb now 12st 1lb determined to stop defining myself by my mistakes.

Good Morning In need of direction.

Yes you are right.. and ive gone back to work after being off for 10 days 3 days hospitalized at that!!!
So you are definatley correct...
Friday is a day off and although im looking forward to it. I wont sleep in. I never have slept properly.. it runs in the family all my sisters are the same and now my daughter has the same....
My fleabay as gone mad with winning bids....my youngest cleared out her room and we put the lipsy, zara and river island clothes on fleabay... amazed....
Shifts are always available at my new work, they would have you there 24/7 if they could... but I know my limits... have structured my own pick up shifts around the time available to me...
Not that happy about spending time at home, at the moment, when I think about all the things that need addressing around the house.. so will do that when im on a more happier out look...
off for a shower. xx have a great day yourself . xx.0 -

Paid a couple of the bills.... makes me feel better, at least get the bills out of the way and you know whats left....
Was offered a life line by a family member today but although its lovely they think of me this way... im happy to say I said no.... I want to sort this out with out borrowing more. I think its possible to get out this mess we are in at the moment... as long as I got my house and the bills are chipped away at, im happy....
On a good note, I have updated my signature... added fleabay and overtime. so im looking alittle healthier... in the make £10 a day challenge....
I had a Nsd yesterday also so how cool is that....... I did not shop. lol
Im getting used to not shopping for silly things. going in a shop for one thing and spending stupid money on other things......
Well spoke with my boss today... how busy I am at work, he said come in on your day off... lol I said ermmm no thanks I have plenty of shifts this week... give them a inch and they take a yard.....
So as im burning the mid night oil im beginning to flag... so I think its time to go.... and dream of the sunshine and the sand between my toes..... I wish ..... dream over I guess....

Day 10/28.
Day off from the main job today. Yay, but oh is also off, the house needs a good going over today, don't think I'm going to have much time for internet today, what withb the cleaning, washing and ironing that needs doing..
Need to visit the village post office this morning, also pick up some jiffy bags, for small item postage, got my shopping list for stray items I didn't get on Saturday when doing the main shopping..
Mse things, have a few items on fleabay, one as a bid on already, thinking I've put something on that might be worth more than starting bid, as bid came straight on it, will need to do some home work on this as I have four more simular items,
Will take a good look at my fleabay see if I can clear off sold items and clean my unsolds up, rotate a few items, persiveer, they usually sell after a few trys..
Mse things, adpoints will do today, have slipped a bit with this one..
Might drop a few books into the charity shop today, do my little bit for charity and clear some clutter too.
Well up to now I only have one extra shift at work this week. I think I'm ok with that but if they are really pushed I will do another,, don't want to burn myself out..
So today off to swap over some dd's into our joint account, need to get our finances back on track and regular payments back up and running... I really must say I'm feeling more positive now about everything.
Buckle up and fastforward.. have a reat day mse world. Hopefully catch you later. X.0
