Self Care: I cooked a bean chili today and some green cabbage yesterday.

I had a work Away day today. Afterwards there was a work leaving do tonight in three parts, bowling, pizza and karaoke. I just went for the bowling, this lack of sleep and the list of work-related tasks as well as travel-related tasks I have to do is too long, I also wanted to walk part of the way home tonight. The weather has improved so walking regularly will be easier.

Thanks Meena, I've just returned from my business trip, it was 30 degrees in the UAE, in England it's...chilly.

Hey everyone,

It's been a while, way too long. I hope your DFW journey's are going well. I'm going back to the UAE soon, I've been organising an event and it's going to happen this week.

I haven't been as diligent about checking my bank account so I want to do that regularly again. I also need to sort out my expenses from the last trip.

Purchases?

£60 I had some family photos scanned and want to get some blown up so I can decorate my home and make it more...homely.

£55 Smart Ankle Boots and Shoes for work, Clarks had a sale, 60& off.

I'm going to catch up with a friend on Saturday, looking forward to seeing her.

My sister's home purchases is moving forward, it looks like she'll move out in June.

I know that I just need to focus much more on what I want to do moving forward and to be positive about things again.

Bless you all, your support has been awesome and I appreciate it so much.

I'm still waiting for my expenses to be repaid so I've held off posting a new signature. Once they've been repaid I will.

I am pleased to say that my debt has reduced, it's now £8963.35

New Signature details:
£2582.84 Debit + £833.86 CC2 + 5546.65 CC1
Total £13,199/£8963.35

Total repaid: £4235.65

I'm surprised that I've paid off that amount, but I'm doing something right. Thanks to all of you for your support and kind words.

Hi everyone,

I hope that you're all well. And enjoying the summer sun.

New Signature details:
£2527.92 Debit + £900 CC2 + £5,396.65 CC1
Total £13,199/£8824.57

I have £8824.57 left to pay off. If I continue to make what I'm currently making, I'll be able to pay off each card as follows:

£900 CC2 - June 2018 (I'm tempted to just keep paying off my Debit card)
£2527.92 Debit - December 2018
£5,396.65 CC1 - August 2019

My contract has been extended to December.

I've been battling with feeling down and bad about myself, my choices, so many thoughts have come to mind but I'm working on improving that.

I've listened to some self help talks and interviews lately, it's something that I used to do all the time, it's been uplifting.

Thank you all so much for your support.
