Divorcing the debt and the fella.

I hope you are ok. I felt for you when you said you must be wasting money if you can go so tight when needed. It not wasting if you are just trying to live above the subsistence line. People shouldn't have to scrimp just to live.

Hmm, yeah I guess that's true. Thinking about it, chances are the reason I'm okay at the moment is purely because I have been worse off. There was a time were I had so little money coming in that I had to work out what bill I could skip each month and as for eating... I ate once a day if I was lucky and that was basically noodles or pasta. So I think I must be using that to help me survive now and didn't necessarily realise it.

Now time to be gross because being female has it's moments of greatness, this however is not one of them. My body is not my friend. My periods are incredibly messed up, at times I can spend two months solid on and then six months of nothing. Apparently my body has worked out what a 28 day cycle is however, because this is my first one in around 10 years (that makes me feel old)! Now I know why women get away with murder, we are an expert at clearing up blood.

At 7.30am, with only a couple of hours sleep to power me, I awoke to that horrible waterfall sensation and the realisation that I need to strip my bed and have a wash. Of course to do this the light must be on and consequently I am now awake and being forced to start my day, or at least attempt to. I'm scared to exhale too hard let alone allow the sneeze I feel coming to escape! Now it's time to dig out my headphones and watch netflix in bed while my uterus attempts to kill me.

NotNormal you poor thing. Have you described your situation to a doctor?

Yes, they have always been messed up but after using the depo injection and having no periods they have become worse. This was my first 28 day cycle in almost ten years, the doctor is hoping that means it's getting back to normal so we just have to wait and see.

Today I'm being productive and lazy all at the same time haha. I slept in until 9.30am, I've been downstairs to feed the animals. I've got one load of laundry drying, one washing and one soaking. I'm back tucked up in bed, going to watch a movie and then get dressed. I need to go to the shop, tidy the living room and got some work to do as well.

Are you enjoying a nice lazy sunday?

Is there anything better than cuddling up with a good book during winter? All that's missing is the glass of wine, but I shall save that for another night when I have dug out the wine glasses from whichever box I have shoved them in.

I've been emptying cupboards and have boxes of kitchen stuff to go through but the plan is that by the weekend my kitchen will be spotless and organised, ready for me to start cooking and baking again. The living room still requires some cleaning but I can finish that up tomorrow. It's mostly two corners to declutter and stick the hoover round. Then just a few things to rehome, like the litter tray and office supplies.

I really hope that you will get back to normal too. It must have been very hard for you to endure so much discomfort over the years.

Hope you enjoyed your peaceful morning. Nice to step off the hamster wheel every so often.

I've been at work today but kicking back now:)

It wasn't easy but the way I see it if everything was good and easy we would never appreciate anything.

It was lovely to have a bit of a chilled day but at the same time I felt quite lost! So today I plan to be productive but take it slow. I've already fed the animals, folded and brought the dry washing upstairs and put the washing machine on a spin and drain cycle so the washing should dry a bit quicker.

How is your day going so far? I hope you enjoyed kicking back for a bit yesterday

What a good spin to put on things!

I get that, sometimes when we stop we feel uneasy, because it's easier just to keep busy. Hope your day went well.

Today has been busy again, but had a fun half hour with my son once his homework was done playing nerf wars

I do try to be positive as much as possible.

I'm having a very lazy sunday because I feel like utter carp. It's cold and I feel sick, my step Nan is back in hospital and PIP sent a decision at last but it was a big fat no!

So I've decided today I shall be lazy and grumpy if I want, but tomorrow I will pick myself up and dust off and all the finance stuff can wait until after Christmas/New Years because I'm not going to let it turn me into the Grinch. Money may be tight but I'm surviving, they have recommended I make a new claim as my issues are worse since the initial claim and I'm planning to throw myself into getting back into work anyway.

I hope you're having a lovely weekend, I do love NERF wars! Think you've just given me an idea for a Christmas present. Keep warm!

Bobarella

Oh no sorry to hear about your Step Nan. Poor thing. A day to be a bit fed up is fine, we all need that sometimes. You do sound so positive though, it's really good. Take care. Bob
