    @Sun_Addict @beanielou @SusieT @ladyholly @Makingabobor2 @WinterWarrior @~FlowerPot~

    Thank you so much for you advice I really appreciate you posting and yep 100% if I was on the outside looking in I would advise the police 

    However I have been badly bullied before and I just can’t face the “you did this” “you did that” accusations that would follow, victim shaming is rife in this particular community and it nearly destroyed me. As I have said despite public evidence that she has lied I was blamed and she was believed, I could only assume at that point the crowd was willing to back her knowing it was lies to see me hurt and enjoy my downfall, not a nice feeling at all. 

    I have blocked her on p@yp@l now so no more invoices and as she’s blocked on fb along with her friends I can’t see anything there either, am sure they are posting all manner of things 

    As for this weekend we had a nice one after all, several hours beach walking with some films and knitting thrown in. This morning however it came crashing down with DD screaming over her current flat repairs which has left them water and toilet less, am sure its leading up to can you lend………we have funded every move they have made, sadly the pot is empty so am sure fireworks will occur 

    Hope you all had a great weekend too, off to read and catch up xx

    I'm glad you managed to carve out a little bit of a nice time this weekend, beach walk, films and knitting sounds perfect.

    Thanks @Blackcats it was really nice

    The whole thing makes you paranoid, over the last 4 or 5 days my fb page has had repeated tags that when I checked were not to be found, so have blocked her and her buddies from my page too 

    NSD 1/12 🤦‍♀️
    Tilly Tidy £28.33
    Tonight's tea Bulgogi beef with rice, salad and slaw 

    Surveys are doing OK, bit hit and miss £25 is still out in the ether but nearly at another £20 so overall very pleased 

    Today's tasks are to finish head sewing, show time in less than 3 weeks

    Glad to hear you have blocked al that need blocking. Hopefully you can concentrate a bit more on your wll being without the fear of bullying. Just be careful of "new friends" who may appear on facebook.

    Morning Debt Busters

    Bit of an update 

    NSD are 2/12 terrible so far for Feb but as Jan started off this way I’m not too worried, spends are also down too so whilst not a win its going the right way

    Tilly Tiday stands at £31.04 which is brilliant, hopefully by the end of the year this will hit above £200. This is literally from rounding up only, whole £1 being the max 

    Food for the month stands at £83.06 spent, room for improvement on that still I think

    Sw@gbucks stands at 2107sb with £25 cashed, took a bit of doing getting it to cash to P@yp@l but at least its not gone to Am@zon where it would be just left to spend

    On the whole debt busting is still nonexistent at the mo, mainly due to our usual spending as much as we earn mentality and a pants Jan which left me playing catch up, hoping to have caught up by end of Feb but I have shows to pay for soon which causes issues with most organisers jostling for money all at once. 

    DH is being a depressed pain at the mo, I get he wants to just tour but that takes a portable income which we really don’t have in place yet, so far this year we would starve if he wasn’t trucking, I have offered to work outside the caravan (I can temp very easily being an accountant it would be lucrative) but he wont hear of it, mainly because he would get more depressed)

    Income so far for Jan was
    Salary £1,995.30
    Business £215 (turnover)
    Sw@gbucks £25
    R@velry £0

    Not really fantastic, R@velry is a bit disappointing and had expected to sell a few patterns but will keep trying, am sure it will take time

    DD has had a bit of a rollercoaster too with flat water issues which hopefully will get fixed Saturday, she did however go to a network event this week too and sounds like she made a few great CEO contacts. Plus Imp€ri@l have passed her phd proposal onto another department from her original submission, so fingers crossed for a positive

    As for me I’m slowly regaining the mental ground lost after the bully hit

    Will do another YNAB post on rule 2 later, I do hope it helps someone lol

    xx 

    PS diner tonight is Biryani cost approx £2.30 ( just let me know if you guys want reciepe for this)
