    Thanks all :) beanie I am in no way guilty or going to beat myself up about this. I am fed up with feeling guilty about posting on here what I spend and thinking I cant buy something because I need to put it into savings. Money and this site has taken over my life and these past few days I have really thought about what I want to give and what I want from this site and I have come to a crossroads in my journey. At the moment money is the be all and end all of my life at present, working for it and then saving/spending it, is that really a life? I can no longer find any balance in life with anything (especially this site), its either all or nothing. The problem is I will say these things and a couple weeks later the old pap will emerge and I will be sat on this site day in day out doing nothing. I think this site has become maybe my enemy in some ways as well as my saving grace... I just want a 'normal' relationship with money again.

    I could have written that exact post myself, the sad thing is though when I'm not here I don't really have anyone else to talk to as my parents are still in denial to the outside world and if I don't worry about money - I get stressed about my job.

    Balance is tough

    hi mersh, you need to start your own thread. Go here and then click new thread. Chosse your title and then post a message and people will reply. If you just post on threads that have already started, you may get lost in the flow :)

    hope that helps

  • Evening all Coucou24.gif thought I would do a little update :) not much hapening though. Working tommorow as overtime and then working bank holiday monday so thats all good. Going out tommorow for my mums oh's birthday. It was ages ago but because of mums op he hasnt been down. Still have his birthday gift here but will pay 1/2 his meal and my meal tommorow so approx £30 depending where we go. Money wise all is going well, I have spent a tiny bit more (£14) and some boxes for some more cakes I am making and postage but thats all. so ~
    bills ~ in £181.69 ~ out £180.37 = +£1.32
    spends ~ in £175.89 ~ out £26.99 = +£148.90
    Ohhh and I also have £25 in my paypal account but I am 'saving' that for some craft stamps :rotfl:
