    Up bright and early well early atleast….feel like I am in slow motion this morning, although had a good weekend, feeling tired
    Made a whopping £55 last night on 3 items sold….best I have done so far, paid off my mortgage this morning…..
    Enjoyed carboot but didn’t find any bargains to sell, did however get some very nice tops for myself and DS , oh and some casserole dishes for 50p bargain.
    Bingo night tonight, whoohoo

  • Day of unexpected distressing events, DS had a terrible experience in train station with low life hassling him and demanding money….. This escalated to the point of this creep blocking his route and getting quite aggressive. I am so so angry….he has been through so much throughout his life, suffered bullying and worked his way through years of counselling and all he wants to do is go to university, get himself a good education to set him up for the future and maybe make a few friends along the way. What the hell give these scum creatures the right to do this to decent people? He is really shaken, and I know this will totally knock his confidence back to square one. I’m finding it hard to even write any more on this as I feel physically sick, so I am going to try and get some sleep.

    Good morning SH, that's just so awful, I hope DS can put it behind him quicky, sounds like a bad experience.
    Up until then, you were sounding in a good place.

    I'm still intrigued to know what kind of stuff you're selling in fleabay

    Hope you're week is going well x

    Friday night….feeling edgy. The love, hate relationship I have with weekends is soooo
    Wrong, I really feel my head is everywhere but on my shoulders at times.

    Right need to focus on the positives! I have managed to save an extra £20 on my mortgage today, should have another £30 extra tomorrow if I get the overtime I’ve asked for. Watching the soaps at the moment with my DS and he seems calmer also have a nice morning planned tomorrow with my D mamma, "need to make more time for her". Bathroom sink has finally been replaced and looks good....just a few slight improvements to go :T
    Hoping for a wonderful calm weekend and looking forward to Sunday carbooty....
    Hows that for being positive .............................................................................................
