Starting again at 27!

ooh you are brave! I really struggle being by my self and could never imagine going to the cinema/out for dinner alone! i struggle going to the supermarket alone lol.

I will get there, its a bit like grieving i suppose.

I went food shopping today and despite having a list still spent £4 over! although i have enough meat/food to last for a long time now which is good

Overloaded the washing machine today and now its omitting a burning smell and the clothes smell burnt too! hoping it will settle, thankfully its under warranty still so may need to call someone out.

Out for a carvery later and parents are paying, really need to reign in next week, i am hoping to do at least 5 NSDs

I have 9 years on you and i think as I have got older I have got a bit more confident and a bit to hell with it attitude. An abusive relationship attacks your self esteem so you are going to be a bit more fragile than you would normally be - I realise some people would never go to the cinema alone anyway. I am happy being on my own most of the time and don't want to miss out on stuff so I put a facade on of confidence and go and do it...fake it until I make it!

B@gger about the washing machine! Don't tell them you overloaded it but do call them out. My machine was written off a few months ago as kept boiling my clothes and they said it was a fire hazard...luckily I had forgotten to cancel my insurance for it and got a brand new one for free!

Hope you have a lovely time with your parents, nice to have lunch together

well today has been quite a success - due to downsizing i have lots of things to sell, managed to sell:

xbox 360 + dvds/books = £28.92 music magpie
canvas' x 5 = £35
Floor lamp = £25

Going to put all this towards CC. Dad paid for dinner which was lovely, i also gave him my CC to stop my unnecessary spending

AngelPye - I would love to be like that, maybe one day i will be brave too . I have just put another load on (lighter this time) so fingers crossed the clothes come out nicer! if not then i will phone them tomorrow and book someone to come out. Definitely won't tell them i overloaded it lol x

Just stay around it when its on so you can check on it. Might just be the weight made something rub or something. I am no expert! Ha!

Well done on the selling, always admire peoples motivation as just don't ever seem to get round to it myself even though have loads to go!

Hope you have a nice evening. Watching Call the Midwife here - love the innocence of it

Jacko_amz

I am watching call the midwife too! i love it

Hmm i am a stickler for clutter lol if i don't need it it goes! it is quite an effort though arranging delivery/collection etc. You get some right cheeky !!!!!!s as well who don't want to pay hardly anything for good items.

Really must sort my lunch for tomorrow as i won't do it in the morning. Do you have a diary Angelpye?

angelpye

Yes, I am the Marching Minimalist diary. I think its a few pages down atm.

That was such a sad episode! It is a lovely sunday evening show to watch. Nice and calm.

Do you Facebook sell or ebay?

Jacko_amz

Today has been a non spend day yay!

there is a down side to selling things on facebook its all the organising and waiting in/delivering things!!

I spoke to water company today who have agreed to put my bill down to £14 - I complained because they put my bill at £29 for just me living in a one bedroom house! Just got to try and get my other bills down now - Hoping to get all my bills down to around 750 (maybe wishful thinking!)

Have a good evening

angelpye

Well done on the NSD!

JLS1901

Well done on the NSD! Great they have knocked your bill down.. that's the one thing about living on your own I've found bills are hard work on one wage.. but of course it's possible

Welly x
