In the Meantime

I'm glad you found your flash drive in the end, how frustrating. I hope you finish getting that frog eaten today.
Healthy food is vital to give you energy to get things done and to feel in a positive mood, so fruit is worth spending money on.

Computers are fine when everything is working ..
I feel your pain there , as there are times I'm glad I hadn't a hammer nearby when things went wrong . 

It's good to see that you are getting help and treating yourself as and when . 

Your planning and focus is still very admirable ..

Thanks @savingholmes, I hope your counselling yesterday went well. Mine did   

Thanks @MovingForwards, the frog eating definitely gave me a bit of peace of mind...

Thanks @HairyHandofDartmoor I did get the work for a friend frog eaten   

Thanks @another_casualty I am definitely taking treats as and when I need them. I am accepting help when it is offered too. I am more often the person helping than the person receiving help. I am learning to be gracious

The friend I did some work for told me of a job opening that might suit. I will be applying as it is an exciting opportunity. I would not have known if I had not done the work for her!

My to do list was tackled but most things had a few stages so they are not done as such...

1. visited friend
2. collected together documents for a railcard
3. saw counsellor
4. chased viewing

I achieved somethings I wasn't planning to...

1. found a document
2. collected information needed for the financial frog
3. visited outdoorsy shop and tried on different brands of walking shoes/boots like @Sunshine_girl2 suggested I should ages ago...
4. ordered another pair of walking shoes

I did not do my eyebrows so the pampering today will be tomorrow.

Tomorrow's list

• wash my hair/ do eyebrows/do nails
• buy cleansing flannels and cleanser
• drop off a bag of charity shop items
• make soup
• eat financial frog
• email job opportunity
• tea and cake with my niece
• buy railcard for discounts

CC bill came. I've used it more than I thought. I will be paying it off in full, so a tight month coming up AGAIN
£12 spent on food items at Al31(so much cheaper than MnS!)

HOME
Nearly arranged a viewing. The LR was tiny. When I called in the end they were fully booked for a block viewing at the weekend!

Feeling a bit more motivated to improve my situation. I hope everyone is ok.

You have been a very busy bee.

MovingForwards

Your achievements and plans are well balanced, business intermingled with fun feels like a reward.

savingholmes

Very productive. Job opportunity sounds interesting. Hope it works out for you if that is what you want.

You're eating a lot of 🐸 at the moment, go you! I hope the new job opportunity turns out to be good for you.

You're still making good progress DIA . Good news about the potential job .

You've achieved loads.  Hope the potential job opportunity comes to something.

Thanks @beanielou, yes I am trying to do more. Maybe it will help.

Thanks @MovingForwards, @jwil, @another_casualty and @HairyHandofDartmoor  

Thanks @savingholmes, you were right to add 'if it something you want to do' as I am not completely sure, but I am not going to overthink until I miss the deadline. I got the initial contact email out of the way and will see how I feel...

I was stressed and tired today again, but I pushed on anyway. The more I do the better I feel.
I must limit my RM searches. I think it makes me worry more when there isn't anything suitable coming up. Will start checking only 3 times a day...

Not all of my list achieved but I made progress...

• eyebrows done (she overdid it a bit but they still look better)
• called my uncle and arranged to meet him. it will force us both out for some fresh air 
• bought flannels and cleanser
• fridge and furniture picked up and out of the house
• half way through work for my friend
• emailed about the job opportunity

I decided not to buy the railcard until next week as I am not travelling anywhere this week and not MSE to get before I need it.

Tea and cake with my niece got cancelled as I had to get back for the furniture movers.

Tomorrow's list:

• my hair!/do nails
• meeting uncle
• drop off a bag of charity shop items
• make soup
• eat financial frog

I hope everyone is ok.
