SS's 2008 Debt Free Diary

I never understood how people 'can't sleep' but I do now! :rolleyes:

Didn't get to bed until 2 but was awake by 7. :doh:

Anyone got any destressing tips other than washing and ironing. :rotfl:

Got loads of niggling things going on that are winding me up so need to get those sorted.

Gonna try and book a holiday with the gf (sounds weird saying that again :eek: ) for maybe next month or November. Just need a week to chill and do nowt.

Going round mum and dads for dinner later. Horrible walking through the door without Woofer barking at me though.

Holiday has worked perfectly for me SS, when you're physically away from things, even for a couple of days, it's easier to relax.

Write everything down that is bothering you, it can help with the sleep thing. When you go to bed with things on your mind it doesn't want to shut down incase you forget anything. Take a notepad to bed with you so you can write stuff down and allow your brain to shut down safe in the knowledge it won't forget.

Do some exercise. Great stress reliever and wears you out.

Don't bottle things up, it really does not help. Share with your family and GF, they will be able to help even if it's just support on how you are feeling.

Get away from everything, go away and leave all your worries on the doorstep. Have a holiday where you don't think of anything going on back at home.

Try taking up yoga or pilates, great for body and mind.

It's not always the weather for fishing, so try taking on an extra interest. Maybe something you and GF can to together to strengthen your bond.

Try to avoid alcohol, it's a depressant and won't make you feel any better.

Have a nice relaxing bath and a mug of cocoa last thing at night, well unless the GF is aound of course!

Calling her your GF again will take time, I've been married nearly 7 months now and still call merlin my partner instead of husband! :doh: I do correct myself as soon as I realise I have done it tho! lol.

Where you thinking of for a hol? This thread has reminded me to jab merlin into action and book our Nov hol!

Got quite a few bits sorted today that were bugging me so feeling better for that. Spending money like it's going out of fashion though! :eek:

Need to get back on track with that and stop using the last 10-14 days as an excuse. :rolleyes:

Getting back into the MB swing though which helps. Also need to get the gf to do it so she can start hammering her debts down! :doh:

Got to pick Woofer's ashes up today. Don't think I want to scatter them yet so will probably bring them home with me for a bit.


Went out and left a tap running yesterday! :eek: How the hell did I do that?

Was on for about 11 hours so god knows how much that will cost me! :rolleyes:

Think things are slowly calming down now and becoming normal (whatever that is). Just got to sort my car insurance out for next week and then I can see where I am money wise.

(((hugs))) hunny, just do you what you feel is right with Woofer's ashes.

:eek: at the tap running! At least you didn't flood the place.
