    Followed you and subscribed. I did like your last title though. I always pictured you as a violet Elizabeth type (from just William) with your I will be debt free, I will I will.

    Thanks INOD :)

    It's not the title so much I didn't like, but there was another diary that had a very similar title to mine and it used to confuse me!!

    Weird suggestion of the day, I am a bit like that when people vomit, am rubbish and would often vomit myself! :o


    I discovered since having the dogs who throw up loads that if I hum very forcefully whilst clearing it up I am fine!!


    XXX

    I don't think it's the clearing up she doesn't like as my BIL does all that and she doesn't even have to see the kids being sick. She just can't stand to be in the same house as the kids when they're ill, to the point where she is shaking and won't eat.

    I think she needs some sort of counselling, as she can't go on like that. It's not fair on my BIL.

    Lovely new diary, yippee:j

    Don't worry too much about procrastination everyone who admits to being guilty of it (myself included:o). All this constant worrying about money and keeping on top of things is so wearing and must be bad for our mental and physical well-being. No bad thing to drift off and give our brains a rest sometimes. Well, that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

    One of the few plusses about living 'out in the sticks' is that it is so far to go for takeaways or casual meals on a whim and they certainly don't deliver out here:rotfl:. Perfect money-saving solution all round.

    Thanks CBC :)

    I think I need to be tougher with my OH when it comes to eating out. Need to be tougher on myself too when the procrastination hits!!

    I think I should have started this diary tomorrow evening. All I can concentrate on at the moment is my hospital appointment tomorrow. It's a big one and I dread it every year. Basically 5-6 hours of being starved, poked, prodded and gawked at like I'm a test subject :(.

    Anyway, I have been playing some free bingo today, then had a little win and switched to the slots - and ended up withdrawing £180 :D. Not bad for a day's work.

    I should receive that by the end of the week, so will sort out my arrears that I need to pay off, get them in my signature and make some payments.

  • Best wishes for tomorrow. I think it's one of those days when a takeaway is excusable. Just be kind to yourself.

    Thank you :)

    That's what OH said, but I suspect he's just wanting a takeaway himself :rotfl:.

    I am now on my 12 hour fast, but in reality I won't be able to eat again until around 1pm tomorrow afternoon. My mum is taking food for us so I can stuff my face in the car before I do my bleep test with the physio (even they don't expect me to do that on an empty stomach!!).
