Thanks Skinny…. I know trying to look at the positives and I was initially joking about the bike…. But you know after thinking about it, I would probably love it, never rode a bike for years, and it would get me in better shape mentally and physically….so really considering it now.
As for these horrible nightmares, I have no idea why I have them….I have my suspicions its stress related, having relationship problems for some time, my partner is struggling with his own demons at the moment and it can be mentally draining.... also I do tend to worry about losing my house so may be connected. I am thinking about talking to my GP about them because they are becoming more frequent and scary....
Saying all that still feeling more positive as regards to paying off my mortgage since I joined this forum, really helps keep me focused.... so going to keep jotting down my daily life and hopefully the bad nights will disappear with my debt:) Enjoy your weekend, hope you have lots of sunshine:)

CC gone down quite well this month, must cut up card.
Sold lamp on Teabay so happy to put £30 back into mortgage today….and then have bids up to £10 on another item, need to use proceeds from that to pay fees….another £8 and I can mark paid against that debt for the month.
Car only cost £60 so another nice surprise. Van still in garage £520 should have really stuck with mechanic who fixed the car, his quote gone up once again and is now £20 more than his 1st and 2nd quote hmmm….
Nieces birthday so £10 for little pressy.
Bingo night tonight instead of last night….no money off vouchers so looks like it will be a £10 night out unless I have a win
