Hi GR...reading your posts of late make me feel worn out. You seem to have a lot of 'get up and go', unfortunately mine's 'got up and gone' lol
Good to see you doing so well on amazon. I've still not sold anymore, might have to put a couple of my vegan recipe books on ebay. Nevermind.
Have a good relax GR, you deserve it hun.

I don't think I'm ever going to get used to this new laptop. Have been trying to get my head around it all weekend hence me not posting much. Not very much to update. Had my new desk this morning and managed to put it together before I went to work and its looking pretty good!

Have just had £73 paid into my account from Amazon and have earned another £35 over the last few days so I'm doing really well there.

Am really tired today and have got the ex coming tonight to tell me yet again how hard life is for him.....

Still not heard anything off Halifax or Egg, hopefully something this week. Have spent quite a bit of money these last few weeks so I'm going to try and get back on form. Don't think I'm going to set myself any saving targets for April I'm just going to try and cut back on my shopping and keep plugging on with Amazon.

Wow GR what a month you've had! You are so organised. Whats the target for April?

Hi GR...
No wonder you're tired you've been like a busy bee recently. Not being nosey hun but why is the ex calling again. And why are you letting him? I know you still care what happens to him but it sounds like it's draining you a little. Just take care GR. I know you can cope with it but you need to think about yourself in all of this.
I have to say I'm useless on a laptap, you'll get used to it won't you.
Hope this evening goes ok and have a good day at work.

Hi All, hey Diz your not being nosy at all. I've known the ex for 14 years, he's been a friend of the family during that time and we had a little fling back in 2002. Since then he married someone else who really didn't like the idea of him having a female friend and we lost contact. Now he's going through divorce he's really down and needs someone to offload his problems onto. I'm really worried about him at the moment because he's so stressed and lost so much weight. He's trying to stay away from his house as much as possible until the divorce is through so spends most evenings at friends' houses. I tend to give him a good meal and a packed lunch for the following day just to make sure he eats something. The feelings I had for him are not there anymore and he knows this. He's just grateful of the friendship. It is draining me, but I feel as if I owe him because he was there for me when my divorce was going through. Trouble with me is I listen to everyones problems but never offer a solution so people tend to come to me because they know I won't try to persade them to do anything.....

As for the moneysaving side of things. I'm not going to set myself any targets for April as I've spent quite a lot lately and want to try to tighten my belt this month and try and put as much back as possible. I have decided to keep my shopping bill down and have set a monthly target of £240.

Still no news off the Halifax or Egg, its really annoying me now!

HI GR it sounds like he has a good friend in you then and I'm sure he wouldn't want to lose that. As I said though, just take care.
Hmmm that's were my money's been going GR I think, at asda again, and other little places. I was going to do an online shop but when I look at the delivery charge I think why do I need to pay that when I can drive there for free...I know I'd probably save in the long run though.
Well it's Tuesday already and I can see this week slipping by me with nothing to show for it. I might put some books on ebay as I'm doing rubbish on amazon, you're doing so well, I'm really pleased for you and I bet DS is feeling pretty pleased too.
I think I'll set a target along with you GR...I pledge to 'try' to not go over £1,400 on my OD this month. Pay day is 3 weeks away...too long!
Hope work went well.

Oh work. I thought my boss was back today but apparently its Thursday! I'm glad to be home time goes so slow when you've not got much work to do.

Had nothing in the post again today. I get disappointed when there's only junk mail. I used to dread letters and now I get really disappointed when I don't get anything.

I feel quite down today, as if there's a big grey cloud over me. I think seeing the ex as often as I am is making me miss current boyfriend really bad. I'm hoping that once his house is sold we'll go away for the week, just the 2 of us. Hopefully mum will have the children for me. I think I've got PMT because I'm quiet and feel quite tearful. Keep telling myself to get a grip.

Was going to make Chicken Tikka tonight but I forgot to take the chicken out of the freezer this morning so it's pizza instead. Am going to take the chicken out tonight and we'll have to have it tomorrow now!

Not the dreaded PMT thing. Men dont know how good they have it sometimes! Take it easy and it will pass. Im having a delayed bout today supposed to work today but have done nothing.

Hi Wendy how are you feeling today? In my next life I'm going to come back as a man. Your right they have no idea do they? I had a late night last night so I'm really tired and feel so sorry for myself. Have just had my tea and now going to have a nice hot bath and put my jammies on. Be back in a while.

Keeping_Positive

Bath and jammies sounds like a good idea. I havent even got dressed today, no work done and I messed up my budget so not the best of days but nevermind will try again tomorrow.

Im waiting for a raspberry pavlova to defrost for a sugar fix.
