is that because you haven't worked for a while Nat? I remember when you were first posting and you were fostering and things.

It's hard going to work in a new place, getting to know everyone, routines, etc. I am not looking forward to finding a new job and starting again after 4 years either.

Exactly, the first time in 5 years I have to go out to paid employment. Ive been self employed for the last 5 years but its not enough and I need to save a substantial amount within the next year. Recently diagnosed with anxiety so just the thought of having to converse with someone other than my family fills me with fear. I have never been like this, I dont even recognise myself.

Went into Mr M's to spend 2 of my 6 (:o) vouchers from the newspaper that everyone hates, and not only did I get £10 worth of free fruit and veg, but found 5p roadkill in there too .

Hugs Nat. It's not easy. You are damned if you do and damned if you don't.

I can't offer any pearls of wisdom as don't think there are any.

It's a difficult situation for you.

Morning

Just a few things for August so far...
TCB £5.75
Coin piggy £2
Very small eb*y sale £0.91
A £1.50 off £15 C*op voucher
And 25p roadkill. I only count silver and better roadkill here, coppers go in the pig.

So £10.41 so far.
Today I'm going to find and list 5 things on eb*y.
I'm also waiting for my online electricity bill to come through, hopefully I'm in credit again and can take a bit out! No go on the gas...

Best wishes to you Nat21
Hope it's a productive day for everybody.

Hugs Nat hope you feel better soon.
