    Apparently my car is ready for collection. Thank Smurf. That saved us £40 on public transport today and tomorrow. Talked the guy into topping up my (very low) oil for free.

    Hi February Fabulistas,

    Off to work dragging my school-bag behind me and pouting.


    Debt Free-Nillionaire Continuity Plan Year Three:

    * Good, homemade, [STRIKE]sustaining [/STRIKE]breakfast. Quick couple of crumpets.

    * Work very hard on my own mental health issues. Do Holistrio App. Not feeling great today. Worrying about what work has in store today after my three days off.

    * Check online banking and broadband usage.

    * Turned off alarm clock until tonight, it resets itself automatically.

    * Will take a packed lunch to work with lots of healthy salad in it.

    * Clean house with washable cloths and Stardrops.


    To live without risk is to risk not living.

    I know that feeling la. That moment when you cover your eyes and press the "open Outlook" button.


    I just keep telling myself - this too shall pass.


    I hope it's all ok

  • Good afternoon all!

    I'm having a bit of a wobbly week, but today I have done the next step in my balance transfer shuffle, and made a scary debt-related phone call. Both of these have calmed me down quite dramatically, so I may make a bit more progress tonight!

    I'm usually ok after the first hour. It's the lead up to the first hour and the first hour that cripple me.
