Hi February Folks,

Quick check in.

Debt Free-Nillionaire Continuity Plan Year Two:

* Taking packed lunch to work.

* Working a day's overtime, under durress, but the money is worth it.

* Continue working on free mental health blog for myself. Worked quite well for me yesterday. Every day I'm going to set myself a mental health challenge and blog about how it goes. Sane=solvent.

Morning all
- Applied for a market research today and failed the eligibility questionnaire - it was so difficult!! Anyhow there are two other 'easier' market researches in the same town so I'm just going to accept.
- Managed a tiny bit of tidying in my spare room, might try and photograph some things for eBay when I get home.
- FPL and comps
- Will try and womble some more costa receipts today.
- I found a boot receipt when tidying my spare room yesterday, might be too old but I'll see if I can get it added to my loyalty card today whilst in town. DH doesn't have a loyalty card hence finding it!
That's all for me today, LP x

just got back from 1 1/2 hours at the allotment feels so good! So tranquil Dug over 1/2 a bed and dug up the last of the turnips. Full of renewed enthusiasm and motivation for life!

An old friend contacted me out of the blue last night and told me his ds has a brain tumour. He's a bit younger than madam. Just makes you realise how precious life is and how it can be gone in a blink of an eye x

I'm sorry to hear about your friend's LO

Just popping out of today's lurkdom before friends turn up :-

DNMS - no words - give madam an extra hug from me tonight

Ally - this business about the company having to go through due process before appointing the person they want - piece of pi$h. Anyhow on the upside - you know you can ace interviews now.
Like CCL I'm really interested in your blog - I'm now at the stage that I need to start "making myself well" and need all hints, tips & assistance I can find. (started last night by rereading a book I love - according to counselor, easy for me to read books will help rebuild my concentration - he did actually suggest reading magazines but as I've never bought or [STRIKE]read[/STRIKE] looked at the pictures in them I thought I'd adapt to my books).

Hi all

Another here with MH issues. Exercise helps massively but I have a tendency to want to overdo it. The anxiety makes me feel lonely and isolated and I get fed up of pretending that everything is OK.

Awful news DNM, makes you think doesnt it?

Anyhow we have been out on the bikes in the glorious sunshine, first time this year. Still very snuffly and still feeling down but a bit of fresh air was nice.

Got a joint of pork in the sc for tea, done loads of washing. Oh and been on one of those book selling websites and got £9.85 for some of DSs books that he has cleared out.

Like CCL, I have the downstairs doors and windows open to give the place an airing. My mahonia is in flower but I was sad to see that the recent cold snap has done for the buds that were still forming on one of the roses from last summer (I bought it reduced at end of season then it had another flush. It's David Austln's sceptered lsle, it doesn't fit with my colour scheme at all but it's really heavily scented of myrrh and I had been watching for it to be reduced all summer.)

I went to my mum's for lunch, again she provided the potatoes, I provided the cheese. I took her a potted hyacinth and got one for myself too. She had another two bags of books for me to bring back but most were charity shop ones that WBB don't want so I'll drop them back to another charity shop.

I'm almost there with the washing mountain but put a load in before I went out and forgot to turn it on so I am a load behind now :mad:

I ordered new inks for my printer last night so I can try to get some order of service orders on eb@y to boost the coffers a little. Things are still a bit up in the air re the soft play thing, I've still not opened the bouncy castle in case it has to go back :cool:

The teens cooked turkey fajitas last night and there is tons left (it was YS before it was cooked, will it last a couple of days now it's been cooked or should I throw it?) I'm not massively hungry so will suggest they finish that and I'll do the bread and butter pudding for dessert.

DNMS, what terribly sad news about your friend's DS, puts all our little worries into perspective.

YorkshireLass, if you've not already submitted your books it might be worth holding fire for a couple of days for a 10 or 15% extra code, they seem to do them quite regularly.

* plant some seeds
* going to Dover Castle using outlaws membership cards. Will take packed lunch with us
* ys roast chicken for tea
* do some masters work
* vacuum & polish upstairs, clean bathroom, put washing away
* paint sealant over patch in kitchen

That's all. Happy Sunday guys x

I'd like to check out Dover Castle. It looks great. When we had wheels we were doing a project of travelling around the Kent coast. It was brilliant. So much beauty. We did finish it actually now I remember. I think Dungeness is the cross over point with East Sussex is that right?

Deal castle also looks amazing.

- relisted Facebook and eBay posts, getting some enquiries
- hope to get 7k steps today for Bounts. Anyone know what you can claim with bounts points, each time I got into the store there doesn't seem to be any vouchers to claim? Or is this because I haven't got enough?
- bought cotton wool pads (essentials) with boots points £3.38 saved
- bought a reduced price belt today as my current one was falling to pieces £3 reduced to £1.
