:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:That is exactly how I feel! Sweet of you to offer to be a shopping buddy in that case - rather glad now for your sake that you are so far away! though if you weren't we'd probably just end up down the antique's market and I would be starting a new trend of open toed work shoes!

Right - a brief list for today. Easy stuff (apart from the shoe shopping!).

• Ring hairdresser to try to get appointment
• Check online banking
• Check for matches for CB
• Ring DT partner to sort out details of training
• Go shopping

On DFW front haven't made any progress in last couple of days except yesterday was unexpectedly a NSD so that is 3 towards my target of 10. Vernons has tracked OK but I punted the money left in the account as they are tricky about withdrawal and lost the lot! Ah well. Still £10 in profit. Had another training enquiry this morning so should have a bit coming in this month from that. But still need to get on with some matched betting.

On the health front - only managed 5K steps yesterday - dogs refusing to go far in the rain - but had my 5 a day and only one teensy bit of chocolate!

Quick update before I get going properly.

• [STRIKE]Ring hairdresser to try to get appointment[/STRIKE] DONE - appointment this afternoon - bliss!
• [STRIKE]Check online banking[/STRIKE] DONE - no change from yesterday
• [STRIKE]Check for matches for CB[/STRIKE] DONE - got a couple - not brilliant but if I can do the whole WR at that level should still come out with some profit! And if England lose I'm out and free! Ooops.
• Ring DT partner to sort out details of training
• Go shopping

Also realised in doing these that I have over £550 tied up in bookies right now - so if I can get that released and get back down to my usual couple of hundred in BF then I can pay some more off.

Good luck getting the monies back from the bookies and off the debts! and even more good luck shoe shopping - I am with you and El - give me a bookshop followed by a cafe/wine bar and I am a happy Dragon! :rotfl:

There's going to be quite a crowd of us in that bookshop then, and the clothes shops and shoe shops are going to go bankrupt. I'm with you guys.

Sorry you've had a bad time, miz - must be something around, I haven't been singing and dancing myself, had a migraine and been crying too, I'm just over-exhausted I think - my work/life balance really needs adjusting - I'm doing too much dfw work, and feeling completely drained from it. I'm taking a really, really quiet day today.

Hi all,
I'm with you lot except I hate any kind of shopping...LOL..can do the wine bar bit though xx
You seem a bit better today which is good.Hope you enjoyed having your hair done.
Please don't think you are alone in feeling down there are so many of us at the moment feeling that way.I just think that debt busting seems to take forever and that it's very draining.I've never thought about money so much as I have sice joining thisa site!!!...you also have the stress of mb on top and and a high powered career no wonder you are tired and then there is your lists and dog training on top of that.

Well am back. Enjoyed the haircut - not the shopping. Trudged round - couldn't find a thing. Everything has huge heels that don't look like they are meant to be walked on! I finally ended back where I started and bought a pair of boots I hadn't seen first time round - and then for good measure bought a couple of shirts and smart jeans - not very DFW but first clothes I have bought in more than 6 months and they were all reasonable.

Karma and Taxi - agree that the DFW stuff is tiring and time consuming. I think that is part of my problem - I do get obsessive about it and then other things suffer. Am going to have to keep things balanced.

Will see you all in the book shop - or maybe it is not too early for the wine bar!

I would love to be able to shop for shoes!!! One day, when I am debt free, I am going to buy shoes that are not reduced.......ooh the thought of buying full priced shoes......scary :rotfl:

anyway, DFW obsessed.......us
