Extending our house without extending ourselves beyond our means

Thanks for popping by ladies, lovely to *see* you and it cheered me right up

I fear the clogging of the brain is not going to be cleared anytime soon, something terribly sad was confirmed on Monday which will hang a heavy cloud for considerable time to come. Whilst it potentially has a financial upside for once it's just not enough to counteract the negative.

Anyway must keep plodding and stay positive for the smalls so close to Christmas and so excited. 25 points away from another survey payout of £10 voucher other site still won't load -boo to that. Food spend low this week (mainly as diet has consisted of chocolate and pasta and cake ) oops!

Need to do a meal plan up to Christmas and also a list of a few things for Christmas Day. DH discount is increasing tomorrow until Jan so will get our stuff there which will help.

I know it's early but I'm off to bed, I'm shattered. Just need the smalls to sleep now

PF Hugs to you, I am very sorry you have had sad news.

Thanks Bob. I'm just not sure on the best way out if the fog, but must keep plodding. Hopefully time will help.

I've managed to make some progress this week, all presents wrapped, cards written, including all of January birthdays :A oh, just need to do 3 cards for our neighbours. Have bought some food for Christmas Day, stashed in garage.

Have a £6 vOucher from mr T for cheese, will do us a nice cheeseboard for Christmas Day at no cost lots more surveys and another £3 on the way today got a load of bonus mr s points from myc0up0ns when I shopped yesderday. I made DD a small cake yesterday, will do another next Saturday when she has 3 friends round. I'll use the same recipe I think as it uses stuff from my useup box

Daughters room is bare apart from bed and carpet (minus the edges :rotfl:) it's being plastered on Thursday and I've just booked the joiner for mid January (gives us a deadline to paint!) and I can now book carpet :j:j

This week is all about getting to the end of the school week with 2 smalls. Tired.com and that's just me :rotfl:

Anyway now presents are done I should be able to make a dent in the back of my jumper I'm knitting, hoping it will also take my mind off things. That and bank account is bare, so nothing to spend

I hope so for you. But, don't rule out counselling of some kind if it is appropriate.Sometimes we can all get a little stuck inside our own heads, and talking it out can help stop that stuck record feeling and help us move on in time.

Anyway, we are all here for you.

Good luck cracking through the rest of the week,

Bob

Thank Bob, I've definitely not ruled it out. Never had it before but definitely contemplating it. I'm worried if I don't 'resolve' it now, it'll affect me down the line. Thanks for thinking of me.
