  • Oh a week has passed since I was last here . Been busy going to the gym , swimming and generally feeling so much better.

    Met a lovely MSE friend in the week who made sure our evening meal was a MSE as well. As part of looking after me I updated my make up bag . I am a natural girl so new tinted moisturiser, clear mascara, new bronzer and nude lip gloss was purchased .

    I have been eBaying some items made about £25 so that will be paid off the CC .

    I have had another counselling session and have homework .

    Back at work tomorrow for 4.5 hours this week . Not sure how I feel about it , getting up at 6.00am will be the test.

    Anyway going to get breakfast ready for tomorrow.

  • Hope you are ok getting up and going back into work.

    I always leave the makeup stuff and never seem to update it unless it becomes a necessity or I get given something. I bet it felt nice just to update it.

    Have a lovely week. x
    September 2017 Debt = £25330

    Starting afresh.

    You can do anything if you put your mind to it. x
