The end of procrastination and disorganisation.......

The plants sound lovely. I am working today but I can see the quality of light through the window and it is lovely. When I finish today I will soak up the rays

Enjoy

I hope you managed to get some sun DIA. Even I came in with a slightly red arm and I don't tan.

I'm stuck inside at the moment waiting for a parcel. I want to be outside planting leeks. I may whizz out the front and week the small front garden and along the wall on the pavement. Rock n roll eh. :cool::rotfl: Hopefully it will come early and I can do something productive.

I have a small mountain of ashing to put away. This is my real Achilles heel, its such a boring job to do but I will do it. I also need to clear the sewing room and DS has almost trashed it with Orbeez. Vile things.

At least while I'm waiting in I can make some headway in the house.

I have also worked out my total consumer debt figure today. I have listed it below under my mini challenge. It was a real :eek::eek::eek: moment but nothing I can't sort out. Roll on payday again (its ages away :rotfl:) just so I can pay off a bit more.

Enjoy the sun if you have it. Have a fab day. Off to hang out the washing. X

Hope the parcel doesn't take to long to arrive........can you track it??? Xx

Enjoy what you say of the sunshine we are cloudy up in Scotland but it's dry so washings are out xx

Hope you get some sun soon abba. It's nice to be able to dry washing though. I thought I would never get it outside again.

I too hope you got out into the garden and enjoyed the sunshine and were not stuck in all day waiting for a parcel...

I did yes DIA, it was lovely. I'm trying to get some stuff done today but keep wandering outside.

I've become a little money/debt obsessed again and I need to keep it under control. But since I've worked out the debt figure again I keep going back to something I was pondering on a year or so ago.

Although large, my consumer debt figure is not astronomical. Previously I wandered if I had to, could I get rid of it in a short set period of time. You know selling stuff, working extra, cutting costs to the bone.Or do you think its just a stupid idea. I'm really focussed at the moment and feel now could be the right time for the big push, especially as I finish for the summer on 20th June. It would be nice to go back to work on 20th August consumer debt free. Thats 15 weeks away. It would be a heck of a challenge but..........

I'm going to continue with my mini challenge whatever with this perhaps as a background challenge.

I want this debt gone so, so badly. The difference it would mean to life would be amazing. Is it too much pressure or there is no harm in having a going. It's a challenge which has come back to my mind time and time again. I suppose it would also help with the decluttering if i sort stuff to sell.

Also if it was gone I could drop a day and make more money with self employed stuff.

Oh why do I do this to myself.

A very confused (and impatient) parsnip.

It sounds as if it would make a huge difference to you to just get this gone. And although it would be tough, it would only be for a short time. How about spending some time working out a plan. What can you do between now and June 20th? And then what would you do during the 2 month break?

I have seen you recently make big changes such as totalling your debt and making it public and paying off some debts completely. I think you can do this and if you fall short you would have taken a sizeable chunk of the debt off and you can finish up a bit later. I planned to be debt free at the end of December. I really went for it. In the end my DF date was a few months later but if I had not aimed for December it would have been much later than March...

We are all better in the summer so I say go for it Parsniphead.

I am like you wanting to drop a day so I can do more creative/s/e work.
Life is for living, our time is limited so don't allow yourself to be shackled for any longer than necessary.

Go for it parsniphead

Thanks greenbee and DIA.

You are both right and whatever happens I would be much closer to being debt free than plodding along. After being in debt since I was 19 and trying to sort it for the past 15 gears I think now is the time for the big push.

I need to come out of my comfort zone once and for all. Saying that I have a days teaching tomorrow. It's the first I have done since July 16 and I feel very apprehensive. Hopefully it will lead to a better and more lucrative role.
