I was meant to start my diary today but honestly its just all gone wrong.
I haven't finished my decorating, I haven't opted out of OU, I have n't finished my coursework marking. I can't log on to my bank. I had to pay my vets bill today and it was 165 pounds. that just ruins me for this month.
I can't get to my bank stuff which is under a dust sheet at the back of the room. I know I have to pay my tesco's bill but it will have to wait till tomorrow now.
I just was so looking forward to getting on with stuff and so much went wrong today. it will have to wait till the weekend when I can finish decorating.
And I hate my job but that is a whole different topic!
I am just very angry at my self and the situation I have got in. AND I have no one to blame but myself. I am trapped and I built the damn trap. I am such an idiot.
Rant over.

aww hugs for you! We all get days like this when we're so exhausted with all the sorting/fixing doing & then things like vets bills bite us in the bum and it all just gets a bit much doesent it eh! My advice would be to have an early night, good nights sleep after a nice warm bath does wonders when you feel like this (ie tired & overwhelmed). You WILL get there and decorating doesent help as its physicaly exhausting PLUS unsettling to have stuff all over the place but the end result will, I am sure, be well worth the effort. So too will be being debt free! The constant reminder of out own stupidity doesent go & I was telling someone yesterday that I wish I could just wipe the mistake instead of having to pay for the next 4 years but there we go. What's done is done & the joy of being a DFW is that there are lots of us who understand how you feel. So big squidgy hug for you; hope you feel better tomorrow & the world feels a bit brighter!Nerd no 109 Long haulers supporters DFW #1! Even in the darkest moments, love and hope are always possible.0

Hi Buffy
If its any consolation I decided today that I hate my job too!
GTD has the best idea - although the kiddies are in bed and I dont think my neighbours would appreciate my music choices! I have a cunning plan though ... I'm going to pop on my (worn out, cheap but cheerful) MP3 player and bop around the kitchen while making my money saving lunch for tomorrow and DD's packed lunch for school.
Hope you feel better after your rant and that you have a better day tomorrow.
