    Dr Dragon cleared all the cardboard away but I need to clear the sofa because somewhere on there is my mobile and it is bleeping at me to be re-charged!

    okay clearing of the sofa doesn't need to happen! the friend that was coming has also got the lurgy and is not able to make it now :sad:

    Oh and I forgot to mention earlier - the DWP wants me to go for a "Get back to work" interview - this is two weeks after they told me that the doctors agreed I would never be fit to work again!! and that they would be paying my Incapacity Benefit for at least another three years :confused::question::confused:, I phoned and they said I had to go or they would stop all my benefits!

    Okay having seen people like Taxi, mizmir and Karrmacat getting their acts back together I have decided that I need to get back on track.

    So here goes.
    1. Clear the CC at £10 overpayment minimum per month (ie each time I make a payment the overpayment will go up by a few pence!) - £2,382.62 to clear it.
    2. clear the overdraft and stop using it! This has really started being used each month since Dr Dragon has been off.
    3. exercise for 3 weeks of the month :rotfl:
    4. lose my excess weight (I suspect this will take longer than my CC payments as I need to lose 140 pounds! :rotfl:)
    5. do some housework everyday!
    6. Start filling out Chore Wars again
    7. Gradually sort out the house
    8. start meditating again
    Okay a some of these (most!) are not debt busting BUT it is all a way of getting everything life wise sorted!

    Debt-free and Proud!
    Sounds like a good master plan! Just read back in your diary - yikes - hadn't realised you had been so poorly - hope you are feeling better. Don't over do the master plan will you?!

    Thanks Mizmir, most of the jobs are ones that can be/must be done slowly (come to thing of it other than filling in Chore Wars and meditation they ALL are!), I did too much on Friday and suffered for it yesterday and today I know I can no longer do what I used to but hoo boy I still think on one level I can still do everything I could do when I was uber fit!

    Hmm one thing I forgot to put on the list was "get back to stitching", I did some when I was up at Mum and Dad's and I want to start finishing things :rotfl:, I have reached SABLE and need to use stuff up!

    Hi Dragon..that sounds like a good plan.I think that everything doesn't have to be about debt busting as we have to look after our minds and body also...that's the way I'm looking at it anyway....please don't do too much housework though as hard as it is not to..take care xx

    Hi Taxi - not planning on doing too much! in a group I own I set up a daily reminder that reads as follows

    Reminder from: witchescleansupreme Yahoo! Group Title: Work with Spirit Date: Sunday 31 August 2008 Time: All Day Repeats: This event repeats every day. Notes: Put stuff away that is in the wrong place (no more than 13, eventually everything will be in the right place!)
    Clean altar - as needed
    RELAX

    So as you see - not too much at all!
