    Hi Sam

    You're doing great - big hugs.

    I'm sorry that it could cost money but relieved to hear that you will be cutting your hours. I did wonder what kind of work you were doing and certainly when you have other things going on in your life 80+ hours is just bonkers. If you're not loving in then leave it. MT is right, you gave yourself a chance and did something brave and you now have the lessons and karma from that. There will always be other opportunities if it's something you really want to do.

    For inspirational reading my current favourites are Martha Beck (because she insists that the illogical things are exactly the ones you should do) and Danielle LaPorte (because she is so kick-!!! motivating in the best most positive way).

    You will look fab as you get rested and relaxed - and there's always the library if you really really run low on stuff to do lol

    That's all looking good. You sound tired though.

    I wish all I needed was fluffing up! Overhaul comes to mind! hippie7.gif

    Hopefully you've remembered food! I'm the same sitting here not really wanting much but I've not eaten since 11am!

    Have a fantastic weekend with you and your plus one, lovely lady.

    MTx

    Supper :Bacon Chops, Sausages, and carrots and potatoes as casserole thingy


    Breakfast :)

    Evening Sam


    I'm all caught up on your diary and I have nothing but big hugs and *proud face* for you. No knuckle cracking...not even a slight tweak. ;)


    You've come so far so fast, it's staggering and wonderful to look back over your diary and see just how strong you are.


    I know you've made some big changes and have more to come - a word of infinite possibilities. And as MT and Rosa have said, we're here for you no matter what.


    *squishy hugs*

    Made sure I have had plenty to eat.

    Hey Sam
    Go you on the eBay. Another eBay-less weekend here despite best intentions. Going for a(nother) onwards and upwards week. You too I hope. Can you do that grin again? Pretty please!?
    I have borrowed from my future self
    The banks are not our friends
  • Evening ...I have come to the realisation that plus one is very, very expensive to run :( although eye wateringly handsome ..:D

    My neighbours are annoying me today... if they are not having a party next door ...The ones next to me are showering together with the window open in the hope to be seen.
    :eek:

    Then even worse the hermit elephant who lives above me and stomps around every night at 2.30am - 3.30am to go to bed ...that is after playing games so it sounds like I live in bunker below a war zone. :rotfl:

    I hadn't really noticed over the last many months as I have worked away for years.


    Anyway I will see how it goes and hope that all of the above is not a regular occurrence.

    I worked out last night the key to saving my money is to meal plan in advance ...I don't do this mainly because I worked away and plus one.

    Plus one now informed that Weetabx is only breakfast and am not local greasy spoon every weekend morning :p


    Plus one only eats any meat, eggs and chipped potatoes or roast potatoes!!!


    I have forced plus one to eat Jacket potatoes, Sweet potatoes, parsnips and carrots over time...I can not get plus one to eat anything else...no veg, no fruit actually absolutely nothing at all other than chocolate or ice cream :( believe me I have tried.

    I don't have a freezer - so I may have to look at sorting this out.

    Am going to stretch Plus one to Homemade Pizza and Lasagne and Garlic bread but I will start Meal planning so will try to work this around plus one.


    No sales to report but fingers still well and truly crossed :T


    As usual I need to tidy and clean but I will do that tonight ok maybe I will:rotfl:


    3 more days and payday on Friday so I need to look at what payments are going where on Friday.


    To top off my day I have lost my bank card so I suppose the plus side of having no money is I can't get any taken from me or have any fraud transactions...as they will just get declined lol


    Fresh start for me this month ... :T
