    Yes thanks Bob and really enjoyed it :beer:

    Today is dragging perhaps I shouldn't stay up watching the Olympics tired now. Looks like on my own today and mega busy. Silly season around here anyway my bosses's wife got knocked off her bike, so he's at home playing nurse maid and now my other boss came off his last night so he's not in either.
    Luckily I am not a cyclist :rotfl:

    Itching to start debt busting really wish I didn't have to do wedding this weekend. How expensive are they:(

    Won some pizza express vouchers so that's the diet gone again:)

    Enjoy the sunshine those who can :cool:

  • Failed in my NSD attempt yesterday and had to get some groceries. Should last me the remainder of the week and thus I'll collect today till Friday.

    Nearly bought some clothes, or one hat to be specific, but decided against it. £30ish saved.

    ALL of my good work has come undone!

    Yesterday my 'official' employer (care work) said that I wouldn't be needed today... 4 hours after I'd turned down a well paying life modelling gig. Only to be told they'd got another model after I called back to let them know that I was available. Then I got a text out of the blue saying "...maybe we should knock [my real employment as a PA] on the head". Basically I got fired out of the blue. :huh: :(

    This, combined with the hyperness and the nightmares over the last few days triggered a mixed state (I have Bipolar) and I angrily went out (alone after ALL of my friends refused to acknowledge my texts calls and social media). :mad:

    I did 3 VERY BAD THINGS....
    *I smoked cigarettes (after years of giving up).
    *Drank alcohol (lots).
    *Used my CC to pay for it all... Including a meal at Thai restaurant on the way home (which I don't fully remember but I know I ate 2 meals) as I'd not eaten all day. :mad:

    I suck at being a NST and I've messed up my goals and budgets. :cry:

  • Kizzy - Don't dwel on it. These things happen and everyone once in a while we fall off the rails. But luckily we have a great team here that'll always, always be here to support you and acknowledge you and your concerns. Adjust your targets and goals, dust yourself off and do your best for the remainder of the month.

    Evkizzy you dont suck at all. It sounds a very stressful day. I hope you might consider looking into the legality of the work situation when you feel better.
