Just done a small mountain of filing. Why don't I do it when it comes in. I'm feeling very clensed now. How sad. Kid count at 7 !!!

Ah I wonder if the kid count has raised further. Hope you are having a calm evening x

It wasn't top bad and the kid count stayed at 7. Oh came back from cricket and did wonder what was going on - lol

No rain here today so far

Yay on the rain side I'm up bright for a christening lol suns out got a cheap dress lol from tesco not bad eh x

I hope you had a good time at the Christening HTBDF. The sun was shinning today (well here at least).

I managed to add another child to the count during the day but it was lovely to see the lads playing out in the sunshine, real boys games - some form of Star Wars game - brill

Clothes ordering for DD over the next couple of days - school uniform (logo'd stuff via the school), some new jodphurs for DD (she really can't squeeze into her existing pair any more), she needed a new riding hat as well but OH's parents bought her a new one as an early birthday pressie. They aren't cheap although they last ages. I think DS2 might need another pair of trainers as well. Will I be able to manage to stay within the £50 budget? Hopefully....

My legs are aching from yesterdays route march. I didn't go out today mainly because I was quite cheesed off this pm for some reason that I couldn't quite put my finger on....took myself off for a bath and some reflection, felt better afterwards although I still didn't realise what had caused me to feel down.

Some of my feeling down was linked with what I see others doing - rubbish I know bigstyle - however I do wonder how others manage when we seem to struggle all the time. I know don't tell me how far we've come but even as we approach being DF it still feels like a struggle. I need a break I think, a proper holiday, or maybe OH and I getting some grown up time (feels a bit like OutNumbered in our house at present - given my 3 are about that age!!!!)

Onwards embracing the week ahead....

NB Moan over - sorry:o

I totally get you working, sometimes when your on the outside looking in at other peoples goings on you feel like blazing over and saying HOW... your rightyou have come so far think of debt as a uni course its an emotion ride stressful draining zapping of energy and as you approach the end you feel somewhat misplaced because your life for the last few months year has been debt free focused as you approach the debt freedom its sort of like saying well what do i do now where do i focus myself how do i let go of teh budgets a little and branch out a little more when you have had something to stress about its nice well not nice to stress about something else so time is taken up focusing on that we almost feel the need to have something to do, its very hard to turn set targets off as you get closer to debt freedomness a nice holiday would be great and yet in my feelings i always feel like i need to be worried about something even if i might not need to be because i have spent the past months like that maybe its a woman thing or am i talking ga ga x

Don't apologise - it's fair enough to moan. I sympathise, I often feel exactly the same way myself.

WorkingHardDFW

Thanks for the support and posts both - appreciated.

I know that we've got nothing to moan about but sometimes it gets me down. I know the first rule of life really is don't compare but sometimes you can't help it.

Just ordered DD jophurs £10 from Mr T!! So thats a plus...

Happytogetdebtfree

I am always comparing and wishing for that little bit more sometimes but we do and its hard not to lol its human nature and thats fine x big hugs x
