I'm tired Pidge, not sleeping early enough and then sleeping in, you know that vicious cycle.
Made a huge pot of soup tonight. I've some set aside to freeze. I do worry about things too. At the min I'm super positive and motivated, but I know that won't last .
Cleaned the living room and hoovered the hall...go me. Only cleaned the living room as I need to iron bedlinen and there were dog hairs on the floor. After that I couldn't face getting the iron out so put the bedlinen on the bed unironed and reckoned the heat of me would iron out the creases by morning....:rotfl:
Someone mentioned a counsellor, have you considered that? I went to one once, it was amazing....I think at times about going back to one. I've also noticed recently that as I'm walking the dog for 2-3 miles each night I'm more zen like. It's also been commented in work (while the others had a mammoth rant about a boss - I just listened (not like me usually). Change of circumstance means I'm walking the dog each night. Prior to that it was once / twice a week only.
Sorry for the novel, and totally taking over your page. Hope some of my crazy life made you smile xxx

Ah yes, you did make me chortle! Hope the heat of you pressed those sheets to a crinkle-free state!
I love it that you are super motivated. Making a huge vat of soup!!
I can imagine that the long dog walks could really help to make you so zen like. I feel better when I have been for a bike ride.
Hope you break your sleep cycle soon.

OK...deep breaths...feeling less anxious.
I have set out my outgoings in a spreadsheet for the next 6 months so the figures are worked out to the 25th March.
It is going to be very tight on my salary alone. I have worked out my calculations based on my salary so anything extra will be a bonus and will go towards my last credit card.
In 6 months time, I will be £3,841 less in debt! I feel ten times more hopeful.
And I have just had a message come through for a regular babysitting job!

Amazing idea.
I’ve never tried budgeting past the upcoming month but that’s such a good plan to catch any one-off big expenses coming up.
I might just try it myself...0 -

I have spent a good long while tonight reading diaries. So motivating. What comfort it brings to feel like I am not alone in this and what hope it brings to see how people can turn things around here.Store card £140 £117 - Store card £150 - Overdraft £200 - PayPal £364 - Loan 1 £5052 - Loan 2 £1733 - Credit card £2890 - Car hire purchase £3200 - Savings £0.0

They are addictive aren't they? I've subscribed to diaries that are years old so that I can read at my leisure. Any wonder my sleep plan is out of whack, I'm reading amazing stories until late.
How was your day?
You are 24 pay days away until you are across the finish line...its so close..keep plodding along, slow and steady wins the race xxx
Lots of Love Pidge
