Busy brain = Lack of sleep.
Too much on my mind.
Writing in my journal has not slowed the grey matter at all. Been trying to get back to sleep for nearly an hour.
Time to give up and have a cup of tea then.When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.0 -
Busy brain is not good.
Work was very disjointed. But I did get through the trousers etc that I needed to do.
The walk to and from work was "invigorating " with bracing cold wind but the sun was up in the sky and that always helps me.
Dgd is about to start on designing her Pumpkin.
Let's hope it's not as complicated as last year when she wanted a wolf!
Her Mum has confirmed the days she's having her over Christmas when I spend time with my Mum.When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.0 -
Hurray for DS. He came over tonight with £100 from his wages for the rent without any asking or prompting which meant a 50 miles plus round journey to do that.
Tomorrow I will be paying it into my account and making a extra payment to the credit card.
I decided to move my Emergency fund, holiday and retirement funds around between the banks, and start to grow one account first. Leaving some funds in each account, but I think if I grow one at a time I might feel as if I have more money.
Having it in several pots has made me feel that I don't have anything, where in fact I do- at least until I make up my mind whether or not to save everything towards my dreams or do down the debt faster. Baring in mind all but the last help DS had is now on %0
At the moment.
Anyway what I eventually choose to do can wait a while.
I am still struggling with tiredness , and I have dropped a lot of things lately, and my left arm is going back to old ways. Not so good, obviously my body is telling me something. I am just now not sure what it is.
For now I am going to try to get some sleep. Good night all.When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.0 -

Good news, Social are finally working towards reuniting the boys with DS and the GF. I will be happy to support them, rather than having to have the boys myself. Slowly things are moving in the right direction.
On my shop, still a steady plod going on. Staff is not in today but will be in on Friday and Saturday morning. We are beginning to see more people coming in for a look at what we do and buying more threads etc. Slowly the sales are creeping up.When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.0 -

My bank is First Direct, it doesn't have a physical bank, payments have to be paid into the post office or via BACS. I will talk to him about the options.When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.0 -
