So far today I have set some of my work (watched two videos), made breakfast. just having a cup of tea and then getting dressed.
Ok so I got up without posting ! I went and showered and cleaned some of the bathroom, then got called down here to help with the car insurance.
It will be fine..................................................Nevertheless she persisted.4 -
I always buy my furniture ready assembled from Cotswold Co, the quality and price are fantastic. They have all different sizes. Can highly recommend.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)3

Been measuring. Am 20 cm too short on space. Thought about turning the wardrobe round but that would sort of block the door.
I was doing ok till I read they were cancelling the buses. From Friday. For some reason that made me cry. It is really hard to get a grip once you start to spiral.
BUT I am chatting to my friends at 3pm and making bread pudding.Nevertheless she persisted.3 -

In a minute I am going to try the bread pudding.
In other news, I thought I had paid for Mum's car insurance last year but could find no record of it anywhere on any Credit card or bank account. Freaked out and thought she had been paying me back for no reason!
Then EVENTUALLY after logging on the car insurance website and finding my payment method all is well in the kingdom - it is mine. PHEW.
My friend's house move is going ahead. He will definitely disappear from my life. And I must learn to be ok with it, it is much much better for him.
I know that the virus is by far the most frightening thing to face at the moment but on a smaller more personal scale, losing both rabbits in the way that I did, not having my own space to manage things, having a close work friend go through cancer treatment and not being able to see her anyhow cause her immunity is shot and now obviously can't see her at all, losing my friend in the way that we did, having the constant situation with my sister (who is even more in hell now) and Mum. I just. I don't know. This sounds profoundly stupid but it feels like since I got out of debt so many crappy things have happened. I know they aren't connected but it seems so meaningless in the face of everything. And I don't how I will ever ever come to terms with how my friend died. I have so many questions and so much grief but I have to keep pushing it all down all the time. Too much truth all at once today.
Anyhow the bread pudding didn't suck. about 90% sugar. so am kissing my teeth goodbye as I sit here!
Tomorrow if the weather is ok I am going to empty the shed. pile up some rubbish and then Wednesday see if the rubbish people are still able to collect at some point. I really need to get shot of the rubbish. The tip is shut (the only place I went out at the weekend!!) but the stuff still needs to go somewhere.
Also need to burn stuff - paper, the shredder has died a a death due to overwork. And then I want to paint the two old bedside cabinets and maybe a stool if I can find it in there.
Move on. Push on. Keep the !!!!!! going right?
Love to you all XXX

absolutely keep it going. I do think you need some help or insight to deal with all that’s been going on. Have you thought of a telephone helpline? You may even have access to a paid one from your trade union / employerMortgage at 01.01.14 £119,481.83:eek: today £0 Emergency fund £5.5/5.5k & £200/200 cash.:jWeight 24/02/19 14st 7lb now 12st determined to stop defining myself by my mistakes.
