Evening Lucy,

Just been reading your thread. Wanted to wish you luck in your plans and just to say that you sound really upbeat and positive on your posts so I am sure that you will deal with the depression and beat it!

Don't worry about eating chocolate, if you feel the need for it have it!

Take care xx

Hi Lucy,
Ditto the few posts above - it's great to see you back and in such a positive frame of mind - it's why I started following your threads in the first place! xx

Morning Guys

Well I had one of those weekends, on Saturday my laptop died so I spent yesterday finding a new one. I need one at home, but the one I have got had £100 off the price and my Mum managed to get me Office Home for £50 rather than £100 which helps. It's on finance as I really need one, but I can over pay (just as well as the interest and the length are standard and awful!) But if I stick to budget I'll hopefully have paid it off by Feb/March. I know I could have waited and saved for it, but the need was greater.

I'm off to snowball and check the repayment length, but I would guess the above is about right.

Oh and I had my first sale on Ebay :T only £2.49 but it's a start.... I will try listing some more items now something has gone.

Right off to update my sig to include to new laptop and edit my OD.

Take care x

Right just ordered OH's Dad's Christmas present, 8% cashback through Quidco. Which isn't to bad. Just need to sort the rest of his family out. I think I can get his Mum's through Quidco to, so I will go and have a look in a minute.

Ok Why me??

Mum opened her curtains this morning to say that she thought there was something wrong with me wing mirror. We think some delightful little **** has tried to rip it out. I have OH coming over later tonight in the hope that he will be able to pop it back in. Everything is still attached it's just well out of it's socket.

I have my counsellor's appointment this afternoon, and I am just hoping that she's be able to help. I burst into tears this morning as it feels like one more thing I am going to be made to deal with!

What did I do to deserve this!!!?

So wish me luck for today, hopefully OH will be able to pop my mirror back in and the counsellor will be able to help.

I put on another 2 pounds at slimming world last night, so that has made me miserable as well. I'm going to try and be good today, but the mirror is going to make that really difficult.

Oh well I guess life just sucks sometimes.

I'm not religious or anything but a friend once said to me that God only throws all the crap at the people he (she?) thinks are stong enough to deal with it. Probably not much comfort to you at the minute, but a nice thought all the same. Try and keep some perspective though, these are only small setbacks in the great scheme of things. Chin up!

I know, it just feels really unfair sometimes.

What is really nice and upsetting (at the same time sort of things) Mum called on her way into work and said that if I needed it she would go and work for her sister on a Friday night and saturday to help me pay for any repairs I may need. But I am not going to let her do this.

I have £239 available in my OD if needed and I'll just have to be really really careful.

There, see? - you've got a lovely supportive mum - things could be worse!

I know I just don't want her to do it.

I know it'll be fine, bless her between the 2 of us we can raise about £340 and I very much doubt it would cost more than that to fix.
