    A bath is a great idea when feeling tired and fed up. Hope you feel better soon xx

    Thanks Wendy I'm so tired I think that's what the problem is. 4 items have finished on e-bay and none of them sold :( Am trying to remain optimistic so I've relisted them.

    DD came home from the park with her friend, friends sister and friends mother, had just spent the last hour making polite conversation. Just what I needed. Oh I'm such a grouch today!!!!!

    Lottery night tonight, maybe my luck is about to change.

    Aw GR
    hope you feel more rested. Could how you feel be anything to do with your ex calling round. He does seem to have this effect on you from previous posts. Please do look after yourself.
    Ebay is a strange one. I've no bidders on any of mine yet but like you say if it does go at least it gets rid of clutter even if it doesn't make us a great deal of money.
    Have a lovely Thursday and enjoy the sunshine.

    Good morning Diz, I wouldn't be surprised if the way I'm feeling is related to the ex. He's on such a downer and no matter what I seem to him it doesn't pull him out of his depression, I know his mum is worried about him as she's spoken to me but I just don't know what to say to him to make him feel better.

    Woke up this morning with a sore throat, headache and burning nose. Looks as if I'm coming down with something. Am really struggling with money this week, am down to my last £10 but luckily I get my tax credits tomorrow so I've only got today to go. I've got some money in PayPal but I'm hoping to leave it there until the end of the month. That's the plan anyway.

    Got a few things finishin on e-bay again today but no interest in them either. Will wait and see what happens over the next few hours and will update later. Have a good day. GR x

    My first lot of e-baying that ended this morning had no buyers and I've got a second lot finishing tonight and still no interest in them!

    Not had a good day today at all. Got my cousin coming to see me shortly because I'm so down in the dumps. Don't know what she can say or do to cheer me up but I'll be grateful of the company.

    Will let you know how I get on with my second lot of sales.

    Ooh GR
    hope the company will help to lift your spirits. Sometimes we just have to ride these things out but I know how you feel. I'm not sure whether it's that healthy for you to be taking on your ex's worries and problems. You might have to be take a stand on this one. I know you're trying to help him but not to your own detriment surely. Have a lovely evening and do take care. Could you not take a days leave tomorrow just to gather your thoughts.
    Keep well hun.

    Thanks both. I know if I take leave I'll just sit at home and think about everything. My cousin has been and even though she hasn't solved any of my problems I do feel a bit better.

    I'm trying to wean myself off the anti d's and I don't think that's helping at all. I'm absolutely desperate to get away for a few days and can't wait to put the idea to boyfriend (once he gets himself sorted) and maybe we can try and get a week away without the kids!!!!!

    Think I'm focusing on this soooo much that it's depressing me. I need to try and think about other things.

    E-bay was an utter failure again. Have relisted them again. The laptop finishes tomorrow and I'm hoping that it'll bring me a few bob. Its up to £51 now with 2 bids and 12 watchers. Lets hoping there'll be a mad rush of buyers tomorrow night.

    Glad the visit helped a little.
    I've got no bids on ebay either...bloody rubbish!
    Try and have a better Friday GR. I know it's hard when you feel like this but you know you will feel brighter soon. Don't know what to suggest about the holiday. The only thing is that it will happen one day and when it does it will be fabulous because you've looked forward to it for so long.
    Keep well and big hugz :)

    Have woken up in that 'couldn't care less mood'. I know my cousin is really concerned about me and she's text me this morning to say that she's text my bf to see if he can come down to see me and maybe cheer me up. I'm a bit annoyed because I never show people how I feel but I know she's only doing it out of concern for me. Will wait and see if she has a reply. I know that seeing him would make me feel so much better.

    I'm off out tonight for a meal with the girls. I really don't feel ike going, I love the girls and we all get on tremendously but I'm just not in the right frame of mind. I'm going to gothough because if I don't I'll only sit in the house depressed.

    My laptop is ending tonight and I've got 16 watchers and 2 bids on it, which is currently at £51. If that's all it makes at least it'll give me 5 days more money to put towards the May challenge.

    Gonna finish getting ready for work now so will try and catch up with everyone after work and before night out.
