one day at a time

safehouse

Funny few days but in a good way. OH on his best behavior and very happy....which is very unsettling for me, maybe he has seen the light Lol
Best news Student finance have agreed to support DS new degree.............has interview on Friday for 1st choice ...:j:j
Business very busy meaning savings doing just as well........managed a massive £650 into mortgage this morning when 3 customers not only paid their invoices early but in full :j.
Selling on Teabay seems to have gone quiet, but cant complain.
Need to do food shop but trying to get though as many days as I can by raiding the freezer.
Finally stopped raining so walkie time for mollymoo ...must say nice to write such a positive post for a change Lol x
Also have OH daughter from past relationship visiting this evening and staying for a few days.....shes a little gem so looking forward to seeing her :D

mortgage 72,370/27,630

please-let-me-be-lucky

Hope you've continued to have a good few days Xx

Thanks Lucky.but unfortunately the usual problem has reared its ugly head literally! normally does after a quiet calm period, also his daughter has just gone home, its as if he was waiting for her to go.
OH stayed off work yesterday, no reasoning to it, just fell off the wagon again, now we have a string of very annoyed customers .... everyone's mood has taken a complete nose dive as a result and house is like a freezer at the moment.
My DS was talking about retirement the other day and it got me thinking about OH retiring I cant get the thought/dread out of my mind ...to live every day like yesterday makes me feel physically sick.
These are the days that are given as a reminder...... I should carry on with my secret saving and every penny possible.
Some good news.... my DS has been accepted for student finance for University although over shadowed again by OH pure selfishness.
Sorry for the moan everyone feeling very low this morning..........xx:(

Sending virtual hugs. Great news about your D's though. Try and keep focused on stashing the cash, that will be the key for your future when the time is right.

Thankyou Maddiemay x
Things have settled down again.......but for how long I do not know?

Hi Safehouse, I'm just catching up with your diary after a long time away. You haven't posted for ages, is everything OK?

safehouse

Hi Skinny, yes thank-you I'me fine. I do still pop in now and again when I have a minute to spare.
I have set up a new business, buying and selling bags, mainly vintage bags. Surprisingly doing quite well, seems I have found something I am quite good at Lol. Haven't had a single minute....but that said its great "something for me" and I am really enjoying. I have packed in the cleaning at last and keeps my mind busy especially as regards to OH antics. Hope things are going well with you Xx :D

safehouse

Hi everyone....sorry I disappeared once again.
I have had lots of changes mainly good changes. I have set up a new business buying and selling vintage bags....doing quite well, not making a fortune, but not making a loss and the best part is I am enjoying the whole experience...especially now my cleaning days are over.
DS starts University in a couple of weeks fingers crossed.
OH is still living on a roller coaster only difference there is I am not on that roller coaster with him....I have taken a hundred steps back and feel better for it.
Hope everyone is doing well....will pop in again promise xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Skinnylatte

Thats wonderful news on both counts :j
Such and intersting business that you to start, that you are obviously very good at, you found your niche! And sounds like you have taken a step away from the problem, good for you x

maddiemay

Well done, great to learn that you are doing something that you love and that you have managed to put some distance between you and problems.
