    I have my routine in place of watching 1 episode of a box set then doing a job. I get loads done - some days the jobs are things like washing dishes and putting rubbish out, then other days it's to paint a wall (like today).
    I am missing the work routine too and I can see my kids starting to suffer a bit. It's been a long time.

    You are doing good on the painting CCL :) Xxx
    Today started off well, really well. washing on, work done, dogs sorted, animals in general sorted, all going well. 
    Then I got SO TIRED. It was horrible. I went to bed from 3 till 6.30. made a nice dinner and finally felt better. I did more school work. Need to go to bed but won't sleep. 
    need cocoa. And marshmallows. 
    Nevertheless she persisted.
  • Ok, so I am going to bed in a minute. Just a quick update. 
    I did a tonne of work this morning and loathe marking on line. 
    I deep cleaned my room. Must keep more on top of the rabbits and MUST this weekend get started on their new home. 
    I decluttered some stuff in the conservatory. I cleaned and tidied the kitchen. I have not napped.

    Generally speaking people would I think describe me as an animal lover. Today I do not feel like one at all. My poor dog had... well he had a dirty bum to that extent that he couldn't got to the toilet properly. I nearly cried when we were out he must have been in that much pain. And I had no idea :(:(:( 
    I have obviously rectified this, my poor darling boy. 
    This coupled with the rabbit who is still unwell, a parcel of medicine/supplements not arriving (for bunny) and consequently me having more poo issues to deal I am not in a good place. 
    I also watched a video on minimalism and want to achieve that. for my stuff any how. Less to move. will need a smaller place to live. The way today has gone my car is looking a good prospect!

    Yep. I was devastated to read your news Beanie, sending you so much love. XXX

  • Ok so yesterday I went to work which was lovely. I love the kids who come in during lock down, they are just good people kids, so that was good. I met two friends in a pub which made me incredibly nervous but it was ok in the end, I needn't have worried. It was even good to see them once I had over come my worries. 
    However the impact of that lovely day has worn me out today. I had the most horrendous stomachache this morning. Made me cry and it isn't the first time. So doctors needed I feel. I sort of self diagnosed myself with IBS a few year ago and am generally quite careful about what I eat. I do wonder tho in lockdown I have eaten more meat and generally quite crap food? But I am still quite worried. 
    So today has been wash out, managed school work just about and will need to do some more tomorrow. Had big plans for this weekend, we shall see.... 
    Also CC bill is 33.54, but emergency savings are down to 2200. :(

  • Thanks Beanie XXXX 
    My one year out of debt anniversary is the 26th July. 100 days after that is the 3rd of November. So my goals... that is 4 pay pay days including July's 
    Rough workings... 
    1. HTB - currently 4282, will be  5082 (plus interest) 
    2.Christmas account - 700 will be 1100
    3. Extra deposit money - 1100 will be.....2300........I have ambitiously aimed to pay 300 pounds a month.
    4. Magic account - 400 more. 
    5. Emergency fund - I will pay 400 more in, but aim to pay in more. (also the way the rabbit and dog are going it isn't going up much..) 
    Still means I need to find about 1700 to make the 10,000 pounds free and clear for the house.
