    Hello gorgeous. Very happy to hear about the lovely holiday, but not so much about you coming home poorly again! Your body is definitely telling you something!

    Well done too on having things to return and boost the finances. All sounding mostly lovely.

  • What MT said, and do ditch the stuff to sell if it isn't worth the hassle - give yourself a bit of space and freedom :)

  • I haven't ditched the stuff yet due to being poorly again. I suppose it would be ok to be poorly if I was off work but I just don't get that opportunity. Is there such a thing as planned sick time..:rotfl:


    Going to empty the wardrobe again and maybe add to ebay :D


    Although I did have the urge to jack in my job so maybe I shoudn't be so hasty to get rid of stuff!:o;)


    Least am home tonight and washing is done :T

  • Glad to hear you had a good holiday but its such a shame that you come home not 100%.

    Hope things aren't to bad with your job and that you get past that feeling of jacking it in.

  • Away with work again, but need to make some decisions soon as health is not so good again.


    I hope to be able to have £3k stored away this payday on Tuesday and then a £375 pot for glasses and dentists prescriptions,etc.


    So the £375 will be kind of a health pot. I will need to save a whopping £1100 this month - which will be doable but very tight then set myself a new goal of 1k a month so end up on £6k by December.


    Will have to start better planning that xmas shopping and spread over the next three months - although I am terrible at keeping things secret for xmas - I always end up giving sooner or adding more (!)


    I have about £50 worth of stuff on fleabay if it ever sells that is :)


    Having a long think about how I can change my life (and stick to it) so the reality of having the 6k feels important.


    Will prioritise things and make a list or even a list to aspire to :) seem to have a lot in my head at the moment .

    Hello lovely,
    A £6K self improvement pot sounds like a lovely plan. A huge yay to cashback and vouchers too!

    I've also started thinking about Christmas but the dilemma is that I want things out of my house, not stored away inside!
