Sometimes a boring week is just what you need PSL.

Loving your list!

We are just waiting on pay in pay out day aswell.

I love it when I can make the payments & see the debt figures go down, roll on September for us.

It's great to have a list! I'm always making them. I love ticking them off or striking it through!

Keep going you're doing really well.

Thank you so much for the encouragement. NSD today. Its good. A long exhausting week at work. 9 days to payday. Going to sleep soon.

I recently met a man that I quite like and i don't think (for lots of reasons) that its going to work out between us although i dont know him well enough to push for that and the circumstances aren't quite right, but if im going to date someone then i would like to meet someone like him so i think in the new year I might start thinking about dating because I think im missing out a bit and this man has made me look at things differently. He is kind without being wet and funny without trying. Very chilled out and calm and very interesting. So im going to get a handle on the debt then think about all of this.

Had lunch with my one friend that gets the whole debt situation. She is amazing. Great to have a real life person, this internet support is amazing tho and I know I could not manage without it. I've become so needy lol!
Its the 10 days before payday where I struggle the most. So today nsd im pleased with. Tomorrow planned nsd and thursday, then friday just food shop and lunch. This is the plan. Its all so simple on paper! xxx

Well done on the NSD.

You will meet someone probably when you lease expect it.

That's great that your friend gets the debt situation it always helps to have someone you can actually 'talk' too.

I'm the same, 8 days to go for payday & I am super poor.

Hey PSL. We are SOOO poor right now - and i just realised I have friends coming to stay on fri night, and then my mum will be here tues / weds / thurs next week for childcare and I will feel the need to "keep up appearances" and stock the fridge. There's cash in the bank but it's allocated to other things so I will be stealing from myself!!! Oh well.

I met my DH on match.com 8 years so if and when you decide to dip your toe in the water, I can recommend a bit of internet dating. Had to go through a few frogs before I snagged a prince, but it has given me no end of stories to tell!

Aww thank you ramble and dolly. I love hearing how people met their partners. I only ever meet men that I don't want to date for so long now. I Had started to think i will never meet anyone suitable but next year im going to put some effort in and try a bit.
It is 8 days till payday. Feels like forever . I had cheese on toast for tea and an NSD but not sure what tommorow will bring. There is lots of social pressure in the office at the moment, sometimes you just cant fight it as you seem to be finding Dolly. Friends and going to work can be very expensive and a lot of the time you have nothing to show for it. I hope you have a nice time tho Ramble. Its nice to have people over but never cheap especially just before payday.
Hopeful for nsd tommorow and thurs. Friday, sat, sun, tuesday spend a little then downhill to payday. Very tired today. Waiting for Friday to tell the truth. xxx

I met my DH at my gym....but I'd seen him and chatted to him briefly on match.com. I dismissed him because he was the same height as me (shallow I know). We literally bumped into each other at the entrance and recognised each other, he contacted me afterwards saying how lovely I was (i looked terrible) and I suggested meeting up.

A few months later we realised that I aren't 5' 10" but actually 5' 8.5" - so he's taller than me after all. He's not my type at all but we've been together 2 years in September!

Roll on payday. Mine is coming in spurts, child benefit on Monday, maintenance from my ex on Friday and then salary the following Wednesday! Got to pay my plumber but looking forward to paying off some more debt!

I met my DH at work.

I was an office junior, he came in for an interview & I was battling with the other girls in the office to let him in & make him coffee!

Thought he was gorgeous.

He thankfully got the job & we ignored each other as you do.

Eventually started texting then going out for lunches & dinners.

I left then we eventually got together, that was 16 years ago!

Sometimes life is too busy for another commitment. You have lot going on in life at the moment and time is our most precious commodity, I was single for 11 years I didn't have the time or energy to take on anyone's else's baggage that we all come with, I casually dated and had fun over the years then out of the blue met Dods when I was 33 and found myself wanting to spend more time with him and old sod been stuck here since :rotfl: I think I just was ready at that point to share my time. It will happen but not to you are truly ready for it.

Louby - your comment about being shallow made me laugh - and struck a cord...when I was on match.com a friend of mine mentioned that she was screening out anyone who already had kids as she didn't want the hassle, so i sort of started doing this too (for no real reason but less hassle made sense!).....fast forward to me getting bored of being on match and meeting no-one nice and DH popped up - I couldn't be bothered to read his profile, and when he messaged me I told him to call asap as I couldn't be bothered with all the messaging rubbish. Only discovered he had a son when we met up (and tried not to act surprised!!). Love my SS to bits and have enjoyed every minute of him growing up and our little family, realised that screening anyone out is completely bonkers as you will only know when you actually meet them if the spark is there. Lesson learnt - been much less judgmental since!!
