So puppy has been awake a lot in the night and needless to say ended up in my bed with me 😍 then slept fine.
Other than puppy things no shopping spends since last Wednesday?? I think it was. So that's good, will need to go tomorrow. Might do a Tesco order for DDIL's party bit will still keep the cost down as its a bit tricky with pup so young atm.
Have managed to clean up a bit today with her but only did a small amount of work but am hoping that will ease up and I can get back to a reasonable amount of work shortly, if not I will work in the evenings as well to balance it up and DH will 'babysit'.
It's so nice to have her she is an absolute darling x*Stop giving up what you really want for what you want now*

Aah lovely. Mine has always slept in the bedroom, sometimes on her bed, sometimes on ours. They are pack animals and need to feel secure. I feel so sorry for puppies that get crate trained ☹️Not all who wander are lost - J.R.R.Tolkien

@WinterWarrior yes I know what you mean. She needs our warmth and to hear our hearts as she's been used to laying with her brothers and sisters, oooooo I love her ❤.
I can't say I have been very mse, I'm shattered and am just doing what's easy at the moment a few days and I hope I will be in the swing of it again. DH and me are off for 2 days on Sunday and I can not wait!! Our DD and DS will have our new baby and are very excited about it.*Stop giving up what you really want for what you want now*

I am being very mad with MSE things, but there is a positive!! I am still posting usually I shrivel up and hide for months. Biggest issue I have atm is babysitting puppa so its hard to get to the shops. Couple of weeks that should even out and I will be back being frugal again.
Diesel needed tomorrow and some again for the other car on Sunday.
Puppa had her first jab and microchip today, vet said she is a lovely healthy puppy of a good weight yay!!

Aww…10 years on and I still don’t like to leave mine for more than an hour or two…there is no light at the end of the tunnel 🤣 The only time I leave her in the car is when I get fuel as we can see each other through the windows 😅Not all who wander are lost - J.R.R.Tolkien

@WinterWarrior aww that's lovely 😍. I've got separation anxiety for tomorrow, DH and I are off for 2 days, I'm just worrying about my furbabba. I know she will be fine my DD is looking after her, but I'm going to miss her like crazy.
The party has happened, did i stick to my budget noooooo, absolutely rubbish job. Everyone was happy though and went home with full plates. To be honest I'm shattered and will think long and hard about any future parties.
There are so many aspects of my life i need to get a grip of, it's just so hard.
I'm fat - big problem for me, my clothes don't fit, I look frumpy and am feeling my age. I CAN NOT diet, I used to be able to but somehow or other I just CAN'T anymore 😭, I hate it and want help.
Money - HELP needed
Main Job - Still absolutely hate it. Going to spend some time when we are away thinking about this, looking for a miracle.
Tired - constantly
Miserable- permanently
Generally crap 😭
Feeling so flat tonight it's just awful, it's like a dam is blocking my way stopping me doing anything about it so I just keep going the same as I am, nothing changes.
Maybe tomorrow will feel a bit better.

From your list I think you may be me 😞 my clothes are cutting me in half, but I can’t get a grip. I’m frequently fed up and miserable and tired and feel totally sidelined in my job. I try to find joy in small things (these diaries, crafts, pets, nice food, good things to watch), but it’s hard! Sorry that wasn’t much of a pep talk 🤣 Maybe we can have a crying corner where we can all congregate?Not all who wander are lost - J.R.R.Tolkien

@WinterWarrior kinda nice to hear I am not alone. A crying corner with little fat Buddhas eating takeaways, crying some more, stuffing a bit more sounds like reality, sat throwing money on the firepit, in between mouthfuls and sobs finishes it off perfectly. See! I know what I am doing and I know its not right, just can't change it. Its got to be my mentality I'm convinced only a lottery win will sort it, DH has just said 'oi! Miss miserable smile!, felt like blowing a raspberry.
I'm going down and having weetabix that's a start , maybe one meal at a time. I'm sure diet and money cockups are linked 🤔*Stop giving up what you really want for what you want now*

I'm feeling the same if it helps....(probably doesn't). Can't lose weight, job isn't great but I need to keep doing it because it will fit in with my son's college hours, my head is scrambled with all the things that need doing in the next week and I'm fairly sure that only a lottery win would fix my life.
I'm going out with a friend today (somewhere I don't particulary want to go) to eat expensive food that I can't really afford (cheaper place that we were supposed to go was booked up so she booked us in elsewhere). How do I get myself into these situations? Diet and money problems are definitely linked and you're definitely not alone.4 -
