  • The thought of going elsewhere and starting again when really I wanted to be done in 2 -3 years from now. Not appealing.


    That's interesting - it suggests you had a plan in mind. Is it still what you want? It's an awful lot easier to live with change and debt payments if it's getting you where you want to go, rather than just jumping you into the unknown.

    It doesn't matter if the place is falling down around you, or what anybody else thinks, if it's giving you what you need. But only you can decide what that is.

  • Still no further forward on the job front.

    Which is frustrating. Work is AWFUL.

    Also I have been ill for the last couple of weeks, struggled last week and the weekend, basically did the shopping cleaned out the animals, dog walk and went to bed! Took Monday off, went back yesterday which was a mistake, as am wrecked and feel really shaky.

    Money wise am waiting for the dog insurance to go out but ok. Paid the CC

    Just thought I would pop in.

  • Take care Buffy
    If it's the same thing that's doing the rounds here, it knocked me off my feet for 10 days and I only started feeling near normal after 3 weeks. I wish I had rested longer - please take more time off if you need it and get well.

  • So it is half term.

    Went out to dinner Friday which was good actually, Yesterday I went shopping for my sister which I do get annoyed about. I feel bad about being annoyed. But it is what it is.

    Then I just felt ill, just so tired. Pretty much passed out post shopping and dinner, Today I couldn't get going, didn't walk the dogs till 12 and basically went to bed upon my return. Got up about 5pm!

    I think it is just exhaustion. I don't mean "just" but you know what I mean! As in I am worn out and rushed off my feet.

    I cancelled all my plans bar visiting my friend who's Dad died and has left her up a creek without a paddle. I think she is very lonely.

    Oh and am having lunch out on Tuesday. Just got to work out parking or might walk down. Exciting times.

    I need to look at my money - as ever when I come on here.

  • I visited with my friend - who I have so much in common with. It is depressing. We both gave up a lot for other people and ultimately they were bad decisions. She is in a fight for survival.

    Also had lunch with an old work friend, still in teaching after 26 years. works in a nice school but the work load is a killer.

    The rest of the holiday was ok, till Thursday and Friday when I started to declutter.

    I have lost count the amount of times amount of times I have thought I can't do this. Normally Mum would be away and I would de-clutter and re organise the downstairs without her watching me.

    I can't be bothered to go into it all now. I don't know a worse word than depressing but it is that.

    anyhow money wise I have 300 pounds left and get paid in 4 days. I have also requested some money from my peer to peer investments so will have 700 pounds to start the housing ISA thing - not opening it till I have the 1200 one off starter tho.

    I have also been reading about Brexit. Seems dire. So considering doing some extra food shopping. Mum is very pro Brexit and I am not so she thinks all will be well - which I guess it might be but I would rather be proved wrong with a life time supply of super noodles than saying I told you so whilst hungry.

    Anyhow tomorrow it is tip run, sister's shopping and maybe my room?

    I just wish I could feel positive about anything. But I don't.
