Hi Bartgirl not been on because we went away for a week but now I am back and behind you all the way.Can't do linky things but please check out Black-Saturn's link to her site about emotional abuse . I saw it on the DFW board on a thread called 'Worn Out' by louisemarie. Hope it helps you. Hang on in there girl - everything seems much worse when you are tired. Take care XX El

Thanks for the link

Have been reading up on it.

Had a good DFW / MSE day.

No movement on Ebay yet..

Walked to shops - left car behind. So no pparking fees to be paid ..

Withdrew a tenner, and spent abit in Asda for bread, milk etc then treated DS and i to a £1 pizza for lunch! Also bought loads fruit from a stall outside, (still got £2 left in my purse!) and have laid a corner of the living room in the 'trial pack' i got from the £ shop. . I have decided that I really do like it, so shall buy another 29 packs! Cos thats as many as I'll need to complete the entire living room...

I also have had my eye test - using a voucher i got here - so it was FOC! Plus have decided that I'll get new specs online using quidco. I shall also try and get ink catridges for my computer printer thru quidco too.

Havent decided whether should let OH see the tiles for living room and therefore let him get stuck in too OR out them away till later then lay them when he goes away for a few days in mid-april. Suggestions ?? I'm definetly gonna buy them tomorrow, cos i dont want the £ shop to run out of this particular design!!

Hi BartGirl,

You are doing brill as usual, sorry you are feeling a bit low, not surprising really with your home situation. Does your employer have access to counselling? You may get it free through work, just thought it might be worth checking.
Have a good weekend

I'm feeling weird today.

Still no Ebay movement I have 10 items listed. 5 have about a total of about 25 watchers but no bids yet ...

Have also had an email from pipex saying that my bill this month's gonna be about £50 :eek: when usually its £19.99. I'm really upset by this cos next month I've got NO overtime coming in and as a result I'm already counting the pennies in preparation for a tough month ahead...They dont open till 8 a.m. so i cant call to find out whats happened on my account. I truly hope its an error. I have an email from them in my pipex inbox (which i never check) which says that i have exceeded my GB allowance. OK...but to the tume of £50 total ??? I am also worried that they'll be shut cos its a Bank Holiday...I dont download movies; music; games etc so i dont understand..unless of course someone's been doing so without my knowledge. Thats the only explanation i can think of..i dont even have MSN on here. I only Ebay, MSE and hotmail .... I'm really worried now.

I also have to renew my car insurance and know i'll just be so so skint..

BartGirl

Great
Just called Pipex
They're closed today and Easter Mon
Apparently open on Sat a.m.though...guess who'll be calling them instantly then..

I've taken a look at my pipex bill online. Still doesnt add up to anything like what they've billed me for

Once again no movement on Ebay..

Did laundry - hung them out to dry but then started drizzling!!

Been to my £ sshop and got the tiles!!!
As Millie suggested - I shall stash them TFN i think.. they cost me £32 in total - even though i only wanted 29. The guy sold them to me in packs of 8 so....i'll use carefully and try to flog the remainder on ebay / gumtree etc. I have transferred the ££ outta my savings already and adjusted my signature too. I feel awful cos i was so close to hitting £500 savings but i also feel that its a necessity too - a year without a floor is enough quite frankly. I'm just hoping that my Ebay pays out over the weekend; thats all.

Dunno where OH is..he came in after i went to bed (after 10pm) and i left the house about 10a.m.today. I've come in today after lunch and he's nowhere to be seen. A mate's invited me and DS to hers for dinner so 1 less meal to worry about
