Buffy and the Power of Ten

Very positive sounding post Buffy. It would be fantastic to be debt free by the end of the year for you.

Yep. Despite work rearing it's ugly mugly head I am feeling pretty good.

Bit disappointed I haven't got the pond or garden sorted but there is progress. It is strange, either things happen far more quickly then I imagine or they take flaming ages, I can't seem to judge it!

Mum goes away in 3 weeks or so. I shall really miss her. Aside from the occasional hiccup (about curtains! so annoyed I snapped!) we have had a really good time this holiday. Managed to barely see my sister which in many ways makes me very sad, but in the short term I am much happier? which also makes me sad! I don't know how things will be when Mum is away as she will come over to walk the dogs whilst I am at work. We shall see.

Overall I am seeing things changing though and I will do the garden and keep going to the tip(!) I also have a plan for my room. I need a much bigger wardrobe, I now need to wear suits for work(!£$%^&*) and just do not have the space for them. I need to Kondo clothes again as this summer I haven't worn much of last year's wardrobe. Most of my *summer* clothes (as is true of most English women!) can be worn with a vest top and a cardie and become my winter wardrobe!

However I don't want to spend a lot of money on a wardrobe as I don't see the point. I want less stuff so am only buying the biggest fabric covered wardrobe I can find. I am also going to get some new bookshelves. The ones I have are fine if you want to keep books up out of reach, they are really too high up for me to use for my work books. I feel very sad and a little conflicted as my Dad put them up. However my Dad would be furious with me for being daft over them especially as they now don't really serve the purpose i need them to. I have had them up for over ten years so I think it is time for a change.

so, the plan

wardrobe - 49 quid, bookshelves - 70, paint maybe 15 quid? see what I have knocking about. I have a lot of white and might just mix in some sample pots?!?

I have so much stuff I am sure I can re vamp the rest of my room without needing anything else.

I never got to finish decorating it last year or the year before - I have lived with with a half decorated room for long enough frankly!


best post this before I lose it!

Bank holiday Monday..............lovely.

The man is coming tomorrow to put up the shed. If the weather holds I am going to paint it. I was hoping to move the rabbits out there before I go back to work but I think it will have to be the weekend now.

Looks like such a nice day. Unfortunately Mum is looking for an argument, she is in a better mood than the last few days tho, so that is one thing.

Best get on.

Essentially all three of us (my sisters and I ) all had missing teeth - as in our baby teeth stayed and there were no second teeth, my eldest sister had them removed and her other teeth moved round to fill the gaps. However my middle sister and I did not - on the dentist advice. This was about 950 years ago and obviously it was wrong, as if they had gone everything would have moved (presumably so - as that is what happened to my eldest sister) and I wouldn't have this hassle now.
The baby teeth have a space under them - invariably this gets infected and damages the roots of the other teeth. If you imagine my teeth (how nice!) about half way along each set there is a gap and a damaged tooth. The top left is now the only one left
My sister has virtually the same thing. I guess the baby tooth was going to come out anyway but oh well.

Just to over share, you know the other day, I was really happy, well the next day I got my period! And since then I have been fighting the worst depression I have had for weeks. It is my first go around since the op and I wonder if it has affected me? It literally came from nowhere.

So I haven't done much of anything, kept body and soul together. Lost my temper this morning (not done that for weeks) scared the crap out of the rabbits. Stupid bin/hoover/breakfast situation.

I am definitely overly emotional. Everything has made me cry.

I napped as I couldn't sleep last night. Dreamt........some thing about being on a massive comfortable office chair and was spinning around. I was laughing and really felt so genuinely happy. I actually woke up with a smile on my face and really did want to go back to sleep to go back there, where ever it was.
