My journey to a debt free life

I have two lovely days off now and the sun is shining so I'm happy, I've just walked B to the pet shop because I was running low on chicken food so I thought I had better get it today in case the pet shop closes, we went along the river and managed to socially distance ourselves really well,B is used to social distancing because she doesn't get on with other dogs so everyone with a dog has to stay out of our way 😀 I really enjoyed getting out in the fresh air, today should be the last day I have to go on any shopping trips apart from food or meds,I am good to go now apart from fresh fruit and veg but I'm trying to be responsible and use things carefully so I limit the times I have to go out,of course I have to walk B but can normally do that without really seeing anyone,she won't be going on long social walks just a quick walk round the block,my garden has dried out at the moment so she can run round the garden with the 🐓🐓
Ive also done a load of washing and pegged it out🎉🎉 and cleaned out the 🐓🐓they are now pootling round the garden, my next job is the dreaded ironing whish me luck and I might get it finished before social isolation ends 😀

I hate ironing too.
Sounds like a plan trying to limit going out where you can. I am going to try to do the same on my days off too. I am going to use the time to start growing things as well. x

I must say im quite relieved now everyone has been told they have to stay at home,it's about time the government put their foot down
Im also a bit worried tonight because my chest has got really wheezy over the course of the evening,I had to use the emergency inhaler that my gp gave me, I really hope it's just the cold I have had for weeks and not the dreaded lurgy 😟Original Debt Owed Jan 18 = £17,630 Paid To Date = £6,736 Owed = £10,8944 -
Hi OBL
My friend once said if someone says something mean in front of people which catches you off guard, just say ‘what do you mean by that’ then watch them get embarrassed when having to explain in front of everyone, they are not so clever then. Sorry just read to diary and want to say Hi, hope your feeling better soon x5 -
Hope it is just a cold too. Take care and rest as much as you can. xSeptember 2017 Debt = £25330
