It has only been happening for the last year i think and happens quite regularly. I just live off crackers and that helps. I am feeling a bit better now as I am no longer anxious about a new place. I am not going to risk a 3 hour car ride anywhere. I am safe at home and am in bed.Aiming for a minimal spend 20220

They are doing more tests but the dr thinks that is what it is. The new pills are great and today I could lift my head without feeling like throwing up and going to the loo. Blood sugars are ticketyboo and Im going to see if I can hold down some tea and I am going to try to work :rotfl::rotfl:
Luckily I have only eaten crackers or bananas which are cheap so the total spend this week on food is £5. lol.
I did not watch any news about the Notre Dame. It is devastating. I can't believe it.
Im going to do some work in a bit. Then I will sort out the dandelions in the garden - appeared from nowhere. :eek::eek::eek:Aiming for a minimal spend 20220 -
I keep falling asleep. lol. Weather looks great. I might pop out for a walk in a bit.
So far nothing done. I am too tired to do marking. All I have done is mopping. I will try to do some easy marking later and mow grass tomorrow morning before parents arrive.Aiming for a minimal spend 20220 -

I mowed the grass last night today I have scrubbed the house from top to bottom and am waiting for parents. I am soooo excited. Weather is glorious I don't have much to wash but I might just put one on as it is to nice not to. lol.
Loads of marking still to do. lol. I did two hours worth. No matter how little I think I am doing I am doing more than I did this time last year! Mum and dad have arrived with healthy food and I have been fine with it. We de-dandelioned the garden - It was amazing how many turned up overnight.Aiming for a minimal spend 20220 -

Hello Skinty the weather is glorious.
I got a few more dandelions today and mum is asleep on the lawn and I am about to do some more marking on my laptop in the garden. Every time I look up I feel like I am abroad as the garden is looking pretty good.
We get paid in about one week and 3 days and I am trying to avoid spending anything so I can pay off my humungous credit card bill. lol.
I was looking through my the beginning of my thread and seeing how many changes I have made in my life. It has been two years since I was ill and my life has changed so much for the better. I am physically healthier (a bit), mentally in a v strong place, my house is pretty perfect apart from the kitchen, my garden is nicer and I have more money due to lodger and part time job. Hurrah.
I have to decide what to do with my lovely old clothes which are pretty timeless and v expensive. I could fit into them if I made an effort - Do I keep them and have my store cupboard upstairs turned into a walk in wardrobe? Or do I sell them for money? Decisions decisions.Aiming for a minimal spend 20220 -
Happy Easter everyone, another day of glorious weather. I've washed the windows and door at front of the house, done two loads of washing and drying and moved loads of furniture around upstairs to create more space. The room looks mahoooosive now.
Mum has been outside planting veggie seeds. Yum. All I have to do is water them.Aiming for a minimal spend 20220 -
Yum to home grown veggies

If it were me I would keep timeless expensive clothes and lose weight. Go girl you can do it !!!0% credit card £1360 & 0% Car Loan £7500 ~ paid in full JAN 2020 = NOW DEBT FREE 🤗
