A Better Life.

Buffythedebtslayer

Today I took my lovely dog to the vets - got the all clear. And my insane tiny bun who is also ok, the vet so GOOD with her as she is absolutely mental, impossible for me to hold or stroke! Did a back flip for the vet who just persisted with holding her till she gave up! So I need to do that........

I have to say it was nice to just be with the rabbits when I got home, sister was with mum  and although it hailed and I was soaked it was good to do something I basically enjoy!

Your vet sounds lovely.
Things sound as if they’re settling. How long is your sister with you?

The Vet feels like a LIFETIME ago. 

My sister left today. It was on the whole a good two weeks but it was very hard. I am highly impressed I got through it without losing my !!!!!! with anyone. It was tough as my sister had to realise and accept how frail Mum is now and that she gets so tired it is unreal. Normally (I say normally, there isn't much normal) Mum has a nap in the afternoon - as I am at work or busy but with my sister here she wanted to be awake all the time and it was so hard to watch her struggle and get confused and of course my sister thought this was how she always was. Any how it is done now. She will come back later in the year. Hopefully Mum will be better. 

I am already so much more relaxed tonight. It was lovely to spend time with my sister, it really was but being on show is tough.

Today has been illuminating. 

The universe couldn't be any clearer. 

My debt free date is the 14th of October 2023. 

My current debt is 5311. 

Payment will need to be 885 a month. From the 1st of May 

I am owed a small tax rebate and hopefully payment for my car, maybe 800? so that will help. I will make every effort to pay it off sooner. 

I feel ill and my feet hurt so much it is ridiculous. Have felt sick all night but I think it is the pain in the soles of my feet that is making me feel sick? I called the doctor about it and he sent me for a blood test but I can't have that till the 27th. 

Anyhow the 14th of Oct here we come.

The end is in clear sight - go for it!

I thought about using the ISA money to pay it off since the ISA isn't really going to help me buy (!) You can get a maximum of 3000 pounds if you save 12000 IF you buy a house over 250,000 out of London - I  doubt any house I buy would be that much. But I couldn't bring myself to do it! That money means a lot to me. 

I know 885 seems crazy amounts but I am not going out any more and really it should be gone. plus if I do sell my car... it will be easier. 

I need control and I need options. 

I am watching a series, (turns out it is film) The Luckiest Girl Alive. Really hard to watch. It looked like a kind of Sex in the City Gals in New York programme but it isn't. Pretty dark. Well done tho. Quite harrowing. might have to turn it off. 

In less depressing news (well actually maybe not!) I am going to clean the kitchen and re organise some of it. I spend a lot of time in there and the clutter drives me insane. Also it needs to be better done for the carers. Can't believe it is almost 11 already! 

Last day off...
