The 'I'm less money-idiot more money-savvy' Diary

I could be wrong. ...but I seem to think you've been working very hard. You will be really really tired. Yes plan, yes get organised but seriously get some sleep and some relaxation in for the next three weeks . You have to be kind to yourself after the level of graft you've been putting in.

....oh and expect to feel a bit down too!

What o wise one Butti says from me too

I have no idea you are both right Beanie and Butti - just hate feeling so unmotivated! and the longer this goes on the more difficult it becomes to catch up!


I have given up today! I had all sorts of plans but have really done very little! I'm off work again tomorrow so going to try to be a little more productive!


I have had a bit of a disaster with my wall outside the front of the house - the big trees that were removed a few months ago have damaged the wall and a section has now collapsed - I thought it would make it through til next year. But now I think I might need to do something with it sooner rather than later as it has fallen onto the pavement and I am sure someone will complain sometime soon! I have no idea how much it will be to sort it out! I'm scared to even get quotes! ButI guess that should be first on my list for tomorrow!! This home ownership is expensive and stressful!

I think it's what you are used to. My son and husband are going away next week for 3 days to his parents. I am happy for them as my son needs some time out of London and fresh air. And I am excited about 3 days of no washing, cleaning & generally caring for others. BUT I will really miss both of them so much. I hope you will have time to adjust and get some rest and recoup as the others have said.

Yep, bleeping houses are a pain.

Well another day of not doing much! Woke this morning to a face full of cold sores so now feeling totally miserable!!! Supposed to be going away this weekend with a friend and now I feel like I want to cancel! I have been using tea tree all day but they are getting bigger by the minute - I guess I am fully rundown!!! Once consolation - I haven't left the house for 2 days so no money spent!!!


I do feel a little brighter tonight in general despite my sore face! so hopefully the worst is over and I will start feeling a bit more like myself tomorrow!!!

Hey Judi, what is it about the coldsore that knows when we're resting. Cried off from many things this fortnight and sure enough, bottom lip and then, yeirghh, under the nose cold sores come rampaging out. I wonder if they are the wise ones and we need to heed their warnings. Have tubes of acyclovir and am piling that over the gypsy warnings. Together we can....x?
I do think it's a warning light that says done too much, take care, you are precious. Well, that's what I'm telling me. And if I'm ok you're better

Butti

Hmmmmmm. ....wonder what your coldsores could possibly be trying to tell you?

Don't leave the house without a bag over my head? and no kissing my prince if he should pop up to whisk me away to his castle over the next week???

I was thinking more 'Stay in and put your feet up".
I don't think a bag over your head has any proven medicinal qualities!
