Ouch! 
Dentist was long and not very pleasent. But it is over and payment made on credit card. So tomorrow I will be brave and put up the cc value which will be 3000 odd eek! Need to face up to it and crack on with it. I will try and set Mini challenges to help pay it down. Plus Mr fp has said we will help with the tooth bill. But not seen anything yet 🙄

Am very glad the dentist is over I was quite anxious. So I'm relaxing on the sofa and havent made it out into the garden. 
Oh well😁😁

Good morning, very chilly abut lovely and sunny here. 
I've had my celery juice and I'm on my mushroom coffee, yum! 
I have work today and then taking dd to a college open day to see if it would be a better fit for her. 

Money news! 
My CC is - £2853.30
&1165 was the tooth yesterday and the rest is from a private gp menopause clinic, other dental costs and a retreat booked for May. Oops!
Anyway this is what it is.
I'm goung to pay £3.30 now to round it up. Then get to work on the first £50.

Might need to do a leaflet drop for some new patients! That would definitely help! 
Also need to get my website up and running. Been saying this since before Xmas.! 

~FlowerPot~

OK so actually paid £13.30 👌
So total is now £2840. Leaves nothing in my currant account. But I do have last weeks cash to pay in today and working today so hopefully will get my account up a bit and make another small payment tomorrow. 
Maybe a payment a day will keep me motivated to paying it down! 
My diary has become a debt diary, oops! 
Will still be saving the tax pot and the Xmas pot, and a couple of others. Will get back into detailing those on my Friday round ups

So relieved for you that this root extraction has gone much better than the last one!

Things ebb and flow - sometimes we need a debt diary and other times we don't. When  you started here you were quite stuck. I know technically you are perhaps financially worse off but you seem far more upbeat and 'in your flow' than when you started posting. Once the CC is cleared you will have established good habits that will naturally become savings ....

im hoping so, but it was only 2 days later that the tooth/ face begun to start swelling. So I am still a little apprehensive until I get to the weekend! Fingers are tightly crossed all will be well and I am meditating on wellness and generally trying to be postive and happy!! Trying being the word!

Definetly establishing a morning routine is helping.

As for the debt Im not overly worrying about it. OH will help out at some point and Ill just chip away as I can. Its just anoying there will be interest!

Morning. 
Face feels good and no lump 
The sun is shining and blues skies yey!

College visit was disappointing and dd didnt like it at all, which was upsetting as I think she had secretly planned to not go back to her course at all and start at this college in September, but she wasn't impressed at all and compared the standard to her college. She is really, at the best place already interms of quality and outcomes . But this college offered 2 courses which were specialised and you would do one subject rather than three. (So an extended diploma rather than a levels.)
But one course had very little work on display and the other isn't actually running, although it says it is they told us hasn't run for 5 years and the darkroom has been removed. So very disappointed and dd shut herself in her room and wouldn't talk. 
Still going to try and get her in to college today, wish me luck😂
Then I've got invigilation training later this morning. 
Plus we have fences being put in one side. They are strictly next doors fences but it seems we are paying for half of it,🙄 OH wanted to make sure they were done properly! So he's booked it all and sorted it out. 

So busy day!

Raspberry bed no 3.im definitely winning!

That raspberry bed looks great! I have baby raspberry canes at the moment not sure what to do when they grow. Do they all need support?
Glad all the dentist stuff is sorted. And debt..well it seems to come and go here too. Depending on what life throws our way. You will pay it off though so it will be ok. Is it all on 0%? 
Sorry DD didn't like the new college, did you manage to get her in today? At our college they offer the students resilience training and other mini courses designed to help with anxiety around college attendance or life in general...does her current one offer this? They also do homework clubs which could help her get ahead/ catch up depending on where she's at. To give her a bit more confidence ❤️

raspberry dont have to have to be tied to supports. But 2 of our beds have a frame so the canes are held and do not flop so much. But the other bed we have doesnt and actually its fine. Whats more of an issue is the runners popping up everywhere!!

No the debt isnt on 0%. I will have to take a look, never had to do that before. Im hoping OH will pay a chucnk very soon and then interest wont be so bad!!

As for the other college I think it has been good to focus her mind. Its made her realise that this college is the best available and that she just needs to get on with it and refocus. She went in yesterday and we had the dentist this morning, and that was so stressful shes gone to bed and wont cope with college this afternoon. But i think shes back on track with college, well in her mind. Shes got a fair bit of catching up to do. Unfortuantly she wont except any help from college there have been various things they have offered, but she wount take up any!! ~ you can lead a horse to water!!!
