On the positive side I haven't spent any money today. I spent most of the day resting. I did a bit of work and tidied. I was ill today and that coupled with thinking about my job made my depression worse.
My lodger is the opposite he says he doesn't let himself get down. He has been out once with his friends and has picked up a girlfriend already and is spending his second night with her. I can't believe how fast he is!!! It's quite funny in a way.
I'm having a hair cut tomorrow and also I might jump on the cross dresser for a bit (as he kindly moved it out of the garage into the kitchen for me). What else can I do to snap out of it?Aiming for a minimal spend 20220 -

May I ask what are you calling a cross dresser?... Surely you don't have a man dressed like a woman in your kitchen? :rotfl:
A cross trainer, maybe?0 -
Yes a cross trainer but a cross dresser sounds much more fun.
I could ask lodger to wear a dress though. Wonder if he will do it if I reduce the rent???????:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:Aiming for a minimal spend 20220 -
We went to London on Saturday. Winter Wonderland was interesting and we did plenty of walking, then Harrods. We had a few nice meals. Total spend £100 but we had so much fun.
Today I have been recovering and doing washing but unlike Skint Again I have been unMSE and been using the dryer like crazy.Aiming for a minimal spend 20220 -
I did a supermarket shop for £45, taxi spend today including hospital visit was £20. I'm keeping my head down and not spending anything hopefully until the weekend when I visit a friend.Aiming for a minimal spend 20220

Hey there, I think I'll join you in some of those resolutions, especially the saving for Christmas and getting thin! I've totally lost the plot with those...
Hope you are having fun on the cross-dresser!!!!!0 -

This guy at work has been asking me to go for a drink with him for ages. I finally agreed tonight and he had wandering hands, offered to have kids with me and to move in after one visit to the pub.
OMG. He has not stopped ringing me since I got in. Just when I think my life is crap it get's worse. I have switched off my mobile and will text him politely to b****** off as dictated by the boys which we will do tomorrow morning.
Thank goodness for the weekend. Please let it get better.Aiming for a minimal spend 20220
